Chapter 2256: Treating Her Like Family
He turned his gaze and replied, “Jennifer, my sister-in-law.”
Summer was shocked and fell silent.
Spencer quickly explained, “Don’t overthink it. That was in the past. I don’t have any feelings for her now. It’s not awkward when we meet; I really see her as my sister-in-law.”
“Does she know?” Summer calmed down, digesting this fact, and asked with interest, “Does she know you liked her?”
“Yes.” Spencer recalled those days and felt a bit like a jerk; he had even threatened her.
He smiled and added, “My brother knows too. My brother’s mom knows because my sister-in-law’s eyes are very similar to yours. During that time, I felt like I was hallucinating. Plus, I wanted to annoy my brother, so I pursued her.”
“It’s a miracle you’re still alive.” Summer knew Mr. Marsh was crazy about his wife and couldn’t help but marvel, “How did Mr. Marsh not beat you to death?”
“Almost did,” Spencer also marveled. “I’m really lucky. If it were someone else, that reckless guy’s grave would already be covered in grass.”
Summer believed this because Mr. Marsh was indeed very magnanimous.
At the same time, Summer understood more clearly how much Spencer meant to Mr. Marsh.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
At this moment, the Maybach slowed down and began to turn into the courtyard. The vast villa of Emerald Bay was right in front of them.
This place must be worth a fortune.
As Spencer’s car drove in, the servants immediately reported their arrival.
Ivan and Jennifer warmly greeted them at the door. “Spencer, sister-in-law!” Ivan was the first to say hello.
“Sister-in-law,” Jennifer’s smiling eyes fell on the girl.
Summer was flattered by this title; it was the Marsh family’s recognition of her.
She smiled, “Hello Mr. Marsh, hello Mrs. Marsh.”
Summer smiled and handed the flowers to Jennifer. “These are from our own flower shop; I arranged them myself. I hope you like them.”
“Mm, they smell wonderful!” Jennifer took them and sniffed, “Thank you, Summer!”
Soon it was time for dinner.
Various delicious dishes were already on the table. Jordan came out to inform everyone that dinner was ready and greeted Spencer and his girlfriend.
In the dining room, Summer felt touched by the exquisite dishes on the table; it was grand yet formal.
Mr. Marsh and Mrs. Marsh were not at all pretentious; they were like an older brother and sister-in-law-very easygoing and kind to Spencer. They asked about his club business and his workload from acting.
They also asked if she, a newcomer to the entertainment industry, was adapting well.
Jennifer and Summer found many common topics; as they chatted, they realized they were kindred spirits who hit it off immediately.
After dinner,
Jennifer invited Summer for a walk in the yard. The two women talked about family matters and their views on love and marriage, which were surprisingly aligned.
Spencer stayed in the living room to play chess with his brother while Jordan brewed a pot of tea.
“How is the situation with the Brightwood family?” Ivan asked softly as he made his move without looking up. “Do you need my help with anything?”
Spencer told him everything about Rupert’s current situation-how badly he had been beaten and that he was undergoing surgery in the hospital.
Finally, he mentioned giving Rupert’s parents $300, 000 to completely break off Summer’s engagement with him so that their families would no longer interfere with each other.
“Mm.” Ivan agreed with this method of using a small amount of money to settle things-better safe than sorry.
“As long as things get done,” said his brother, “I think it’s fine.”
