Chapter 629
Oh my God. I’m not even dressed yet. How could he just barge in? I stared at Spencer charging over
and quickly wormed into my nket. After making sure I was properly covered with nothing hanging
out, I sighed in relief.
Christopher walked in hurriedly and pped Spencer on the head. He wailed out in response. Like a
rat that had just been caught, he was quickly thrown out. Finally, I was able to climb out of bed and put
on some clothes.
During Crystal and Lyle’s wedding, Spencer had done nothing. Hence, I thought that he and she were
nothing more than close friends that shared a passion for art. But now, it was clearly more than just
friendship. If anything, his feelings for her seemed to have grown more intensely over the course of
time.
Walking out of the room, I saw Spencer getting ready to charge over again. I quickly hid behind
Christopher and said, “Calm down. Let’s talk like adults. Stop rushing over at me. If you do that again,
don’t me my husband for beating you up. In fact, I might even add a few extra kicks in.”
“Then tell me what is going on? Why is Crystal looking for me? What kind of terminal disease does she
have? Is she really dying?”
“What? Who said she’s terminally ill? All I said was that she’s looking for you, so you shoulde back
when you have the time.” My jaw dropped to the floor upon hearing Spencer’s questions.

“Huh?” It was Spencer’s turn to be surprised.
I rubbed the back of my head. I could not understand how my words were twisted into what Spencer
had heard. “Wait, what’s going on?”
“Tell me exactly what you said on the phone yesterday,” Christopher turned to me and ordered. He
seemed to have thought of something.
I repeated what I said in Andurn. After hearing what I said, Christopher pulled me into his arms and
startedughing out loud. Meanwhile, Spencer’s face looked particrly sour, as if having bit into a
wedge of lemon.
Iughed dryly. Even if I was an idiot, I knew what was going on. Clearly, I had mimunicated the
message. I shrugged and said innocently, “Okay, fine. I admit that my Andurn isn’t the best. Can’t
fault me for it, can you?”
“What were you actually trying to say?” Spencer was pale from anger. I could tell that he wanted to just
devour me whole right now. He leaned back against the couch and yawned. If he could just end me, all
his anger would disappear in an instant.
“The painting that we made with Remington was identally destroyed by me. Now, we’re one painting
short. We have about a week to paint a new one, and we can’t do it without you. So, please help us
out. I’m so grateful that you rushed over here. Truly, thank you so much.”
Spencer looked at me, then back at Christopher. He stood up with a p on the table and shouted,
“F*ck off!”
“Hmm?” Christopher and I exchanged nces. We simultaneously put our hands on our hips and
laughed. “Haha. You’ve already entered our territory. There’s no escape for you now.”
Then, I picked up a fruit knife on the table and handed it over to Christopher. Solemnly, he twirled it in
his hands. He shifted the knife from his left hand to his right as he toyed with it.
Slowly, we made our way over to Spencer. “The only option here for you is to work on the painting.”
“What do you guys think you’re doing?” Spencer staggered back.
“What does it look like?” Iughed maniacally. For a moment, it felt like I was the antagonist of a big
movie.
“D-Don’t go too far. If youe any closer, I’ll scream. Christopher, don’t think I’m afraid of you just
because you can fight. You have no idea what I’m capable of when I get mad.”
The reason Spencer was so afraid was probably due to the trauma of him being beaten up by
Christopher when he was younger.
“Scream all you want. You can scream your lungs out, but nobody wille to save you. Take out your
pencil right now and start drawing. We’ll rush over to Remington’s house as soon as possible and invite
him to join us.”
