Chapter 15 Got The University Offer


    The car went all the way to the downtown area. The atmosphere inside was very depressing. Silence


    hung heavy in the air.


    For a moment, Fiona found it hard to ept the fact that her work had really been destroyed. She just


    sat there, still, hugging herself. She was traumatized.


    Spencer was really insane! She couldn''t imagine what he would do if they actually went ahead and got


    married. He had an awful temper. She was in big trouble now! What should she do now? Call off the


    engagement and save herself from a life of misery?


    Spencer was driving fast, and he couldn''t help biting his lips in remorse. He nced at Fiona from time


    to time through the rear-view mirror. When he saw the despondent look on her face, he felt ashamed of


    himself. Why was he reduced to forcing a little girl? It was the first time he had done something so


    despicable.


    However,


    on second thought, he thought Fiona deserved this. He hated her in the first ce. So he should be


    happy to see her upset. This was exactly what he wanted, wasn''t it?


    Fiona didn''t know where they were now. Suddenly a bird cried out from a tree outside. She


    subconsciously turned her head to look out of the window.


    Seeing her movements, Spencer breathed an unexpected sigh of relief. Her eyes were so pure and


    innocent that it made him feel like an asshole for hurting her.


    They arrived at the hospitalte afternoon.


    Wayne had been transferred to the general ward. He looked energetic now. As soon as Spencer and


    Fiona entered his room, he was overjoyed.


    "Grandpa!" Spencer went to his bedside.


    "Grandpa." Fiona followed him and stood on the other side of the bed.


    "You''re finally here! My poor Fiona." Grandpa turned to look at her and asked concernedly, "How is it


    going? How are you? Tell me, did Spencer bully you? If he did, I''ll help you teach him a lesson."


    Determined to spill the beans, Fiona plucked up the courage and opened her mouth. Her palms were


    full of cold sweat. "Grandpa, I...I want..."


    When he heard the words "I want", Spencer''s eyes dimmed. He had already guessed what she would


    say next. His heart trembled.


    ''Fiona wants to call off the engagement! She really wants to go back on her promise of marriage! And


    she couldn''t wait to tell Grandpa as soon as she entered the room!''


    Spencer was a little anxious.


    "Fiona, what''s wrong?" Old as he was, Wayne was very sharp. Looking at Fiona''s hesitation, he knew


    that she wanted to something to tell him. "Don''t be afraid. Just tell me!!"


    "Dad!"


    The sudden sound outside the door broke the silence. Spencer''s father arrived!


    Ethan strode into the ward in a sprightly manner with a folder in his hand.


    He smiled when he saw Spencer and Fiona standing there. "Looks like I''m here just in time."


    "Hi, Uncle Ethan," Fiona greeted and swallowed her words.


    "Dad!" Spencer also greeted his father but kept a close watch on Fiona the whole time.


    "What is that in your hand?" Wayne asked.


    "This is for Fiona," Ethan said with a smile. He handed the folder to her.


    Fiona took it doubtfully. Ethan said, "Go on, open it and have a look."


    Under everyone''s curious gaze, Fiona opened the folder and saw a lot of paper materials inside. The


    "An offer?!" Fiona''s eyes lit up. She quickly drew out D University''s offer Letter, and eximed,


    "Grandpa, I''m going to D University!"


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "Great!" Wayne let out a heartyugh. "Fiona, you''re awesome!"


    Seeing the joy on Fiona''s face, Spencer couldn''t help but smile. He was about to congratte her


    when suddenly the light in her eyes dimmed. She turned her head and hid her expression from him.


    He cursed inwardly.


    "Thank you so much, Uncle Ethan!" Holding up the letter, Fiona almost jumped for joy.


    "My pleasure," Ethan said. "The principal of your university is my friend. I happened to have some work


    with him, so I brought back your offer and materials."


    "You''re so kind to me, Uncle Ethan." Fiona was touched by his gesture but felt a little guilty inside.


    Everyone in this family was so nice to her except for Spencer. How could she tell them she wanted to


    call off the engagement.


    "I have some work to finish, so I''m leaving now," Ethan said. "Dad, have a good rest. I''ll visit you again


    when I''m free."


    "Okay, go ahead." Wayne waved his hand. "You can leave now since my grandson and granddaughter-


    inw are here!"


    Ethan smiled tenderly at his old man and left. Turning to look at the files, Wayne said, "Fiona, you have


    got a very high score in the college entrance examination. It says here that you are the second best in


    the city!"


    ''The second in the entire city?'' Spencer touched his nose. ''How can this girl be so intelligent?''


    "As long as we work hard, anyone can get good results," Fiona replied with a modest smile.


    "Look at this certificate and all these awards," Wayne tossed the materials in front of him. "Spencer,


    see? Fiona is such a good girl. You won''t find another girl better than her. You should treat her well."


    Spencer didn''t say anything, but he picked up the files from the desk and started to read them page by


    page. There were certificates for piano ying, painting,position writing, etc.


    An idea popped into his mind suddenly. If she was such an all-rounder, was it possible that she had a


    long line of young suitors chasing after her?


    Wayne''s voice suddenly interrupted his musings. "Good girl, what were you saying just now?"


    "I..." The corners of her mouth twitched. "I was about to tell you that I was hungry and I was worried


    that you wouldugh at me."


    After hearing her words, Spencer suddenly felt a wave of relief wash over him. He wanted to go to her


    and envelop her in a big hug.


    "Oh my, what time is it? You haven''t had dinner yet?" Wayne was so upset that he smacked his


    grandson gently on the back and asked, "What''s the matter with you? Why didn''t you bring Fiona to


    dinner beforeing here? Take her to dinner now!"


    "Yes, sir! Right away!" Raising his head high, Spencer saluted him.


    "Fiona," said Wayne, holding Fiona''s hand. "Go have dinner with Spencer. I should rest too."


    "Have a good rest, Grandpa. How about I bring you lunch tomorrow?" she offered sweetly.


    "Well, that''s a very good idea."


    Wayne nodded and winked at his grandson. Thetter shrugged and walked over to Fiona. "Let''s go,"


    he said tly.


    "Okay," Fiona replied before following him out.


    "So what do you want to eat?" He walked side by side with Fiona in the corridor of the hospital waiting


    for her answer.


    "Nothing. I''m not hungry!" Fiona snapped.


    "Fine. Let me drive you home then," Spencer said, without any expression or emotion.


    "I can go back by myself!" With that, she quickened her pace and walked away. She didn''t want to be


    around him a moment longer.


    Spencer silently followed her out of the hospital. He kept looking at her for a long time while she waited


    to get on the bus.


    Just then his phone rang.


    He stared at the bus and answered the phone, "Hello?"


    "Have you returned?" A man''s voice came from the other side of the phone.


    "Terence, now you have time to call me?" When the bus turned the corner, he then looked away.


    "I''m free, but it''s you who never has the time. Come to my office now. I need your help," Terence said.


    "Ipetent man!" Spencer snorted. "I''ll be right there."
