Chapter 1540Hertha forced a laugh and said, “Well then, I’ll send my best wishes your way in advance.”
Spencer, sensing Emmeline’s discontent, quickly took off his apron, took her by the hand, and said, “Let’s head back. I’ll whip up some spicy chili for
you.”
Spencer was always so refined and gentle, his considerateness made it hard for anyone to stay mad at him. It was Spencer’s refinement, his good
nature, and his culinary skills that had drawn Emmeline to him in the first place.

were close friends, he was someone else’s partner, someone else’s future husband.
From now on, she would try not to leave the kids at Spencer’s place or trouble him anymore.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org Ads by PubFuture
