“What?” the younger sister asked.
The corner of the older sister’s lips curled up, her long eyshes casting a faint shadow on her face. “He has a girlfriend, and it might be a secret rtionship. There’s no exposure online, and he protects that girl very well. His phone’s notes are very important, but so far, the media hasn’t dug it up.”
“…” Agnes was shocked. That’s a lot of information!
Protecting her so well? Is it true love?
“So, sis, don’t think too much about it,” Summer said. To be honest, Summer didn’t believe that a man like Spencer would have real feelings. Making friends may be more of his strong suit.
The younger sister shook her head, seeming unfazed. “I knew it. A guy like him, how could heck a woman by his side? It should be seamless, so if he tries to flirt with you, you have to firmly refuse.”
The sisters’ eyes met, and Summer exined, “It’s just acting, why would he flirt with me? Besides, even if he likes me, how could I possibly like him?”
“Right, right, right. You have a boyfriend after all!”
Agnes breathed a sigh of relief and turned to open the refrigerator happily. As she got juice, she said, “By the way, sis, has Rupert mentioned when he’ll be back? It’s been nearly half a year since he went abroad.”
“He’ll be back soon,” Summer said with a gentle smile. “He’s been busy with examstely, don’t disturb him.”
“I haven’t, I’ve been busy too. It’s been a while since I’ve video-called him. After studying abroad for a few years, he still wants toe back for you. In my opinion, he’s doing it for you!”
Agnes looked touched, her voice as melodious as a silver bell. “Are you two getting married on October 1st? That’s what the parents agreed on before.”
Summer’s smile was glowing. “Let’s talk about it when he’s back. After all, marriage is a huge deal, we need to discuss it. We only talked it over in passing that day.”
“Right, right, right, right!” Agnes chuckled. “And let’s see if he’s prepared the betrothal gifts! My sister is not easily married off. How’s the engagement ringing along? Where’s his sincerity?”
Agnes made Summerugh, and in the bright room, the girl’sughter was warm and bright.
“Oh, by the way, sis, I have to get up early tomorrow,” the younger sister said as she walked towards her with a twist of the bottle cap. “I’ll probably leave at around six in the morning, there’s an important meeting.”
“Why so early?”
“Because the director needs to catch an 8 o’clock flight, so we all have to go early. Plus, someone was on a business tripst night and couldn’t make it back.”
“Will you have breakfast at home? I can steam some dumplings for you.”
“No need, you can sleep a little more. I’ll get something on the way.”
“Do you need me to drive you?”
“No, thanks.” The girl smiled and said, “I’ll just take a taxi. You should sleep a little more, don’t worry about me, I’m not a three-year-old.”
“Then rest early, I’ll go study the script.” Summer said as she prepared to walk towards the bedroom. Suddenly, her phone rang with a special ringtone.
“Is he calling you?” Agnes asked mischievously. “Go on in, I won’t disturb you.”
Summer answered the call as she walked into the bedroom and closed the door. “Hello, Rupert.”
“Hello, Rupert Yu.”
“Summer, are you asleep?” the man’s gentle voice came through.
“Not yet, are you done with work?”All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
“Today’s not busy, just finished defending a case.”
“How’d it go?”
“I definitely won. You should know what field I’m in.”
“Summer, I heard you’ve taken on a leading role. I’m really happy for you.”
“When are youing back?” the girl asked with a hint of longing.
The night grew deeper.
The phone chat of the little couple in the room next door continued… Their rtionship was stable, a in and simple little happiness.
In the room next door, Spencer put down the thick medical records and stood up. The detailed information on the coffee table recorded the gruesome car ident, apanied by photos from that time…
Although he didn’t witness it with his own eyes, these scenes were etched in his mind like a nightmare.
