Spencer smiled and gently patted Abby’s head again. “Thank you, Abby. Matters of the heart
are something only you can manage.”
The second pat on Abby’s head felt far too intimate for Evan’s comfort. A surge of jealousy ignited in his chest as he observed the interaction. In that moment, Evan wished nothing more than to sever Spencer’s hand and toss it away.
He had never touched Abby’s head before—not even once.
The most physical contact they’d shared was holding hands.
During Abby’s time as Fox, they had experienced numerous moments of tension, arguments, and even close calls, but nothing that ventured into intimacy.
Now, witnessing Spencer’s casual touch, Evan couldn’t help but simmer with envy. However, he maintained his composure, refusing to act recklessly against Spencer—not yet.
After all, Spencer’s mother and Mrs. Du were lifelong friends, a bond that predated Evan’s connection with Abby. He understood that he couldn’t afford to be impulsive.
Instead, he played it cool. Silently, he picked up Spencer’s suitcase and followed behind the two of them, allowing them to enjoy their reunion. He chose to remain thoughtful and unobtrusive as they walked.
Before long, Abby led the two men into a nearby fast-food restaurant. Once they were seated, Evan rolled Spencer’s suitcase to his side, signaling that he should manage it himself.
The three of them placed their orders and awaited their food.
Spencer glanced at Evan and asked casually, “So, is York Corporation thriving in this
market?”
Evan, ever composed, responded, “I’ve been overseeing a small segment of our business here. My eldest brother sent me to cultivate the market and expand our operations locally.”
Of course,
Evan was not here primarily for business; his main reason was Abby. However, admitting this in front of Spencer was not an option. Evan needed to maintain the image of a successful businessman, someone who stood on equal footing with Spencer. From Abby, he already understood that Spencer was a highly accomplished and well-traveled professional, and Evan was determined not to be overshadowed.
Spencer nodded thoughtfully. “Perhaps we’ll have a chance to collaborate in the future.”
“Of course,” Evan replied smoothly.
Abby poured tea for both men, interrupting their conversation. “Brother Spencer, it’s Saturday. You’re taking a two-day break before starting work, right? No business talk yet.” She turned to Evan with a gentle smile. “And you, Mr. York, still haven’t fully recovered. Your cold is severe, your voice is hoarse, and you need to rest. Brother Spencer, please try not to make him talk too much.” She added playfully, “Honestly, his voice is so hoarse that it’s painful to listen to.”
Spencer chuckled and raised an eyebrow. “Just admit it, Abby—you’re worried about him. It’s obvious. You don’t have to say it like that; Mr. York might take offense.” He turned to Evan with a friendly grin. “Mr. York, don’t take it personally. Abby is kindhearted and beautiful, but she can be sharp-tongued. She means no harm.”
Spencer’s outward smile concealed his realization that Abby genuinely cared for Evan. Viewing Abby solely as a sister, he felt relieved that she had found someone worthy of her affection in Evan. With that thought, Spencer’s smile became more sincere.
Evan, however, couldn’t take his eyes off Abby. His gaze softened, radiating warmth and tenderness. “I know Abby means well,” he said softly. “She’s just
“Looking out for me, not trying to bruise my ego,” Abby said, giving Evan a pointed look. “Don’t flatter yourself.”
Evan chuckled, clearly amused. Unable to resist, Abby rolled her eyes at him and playfully pinched his arm.
Their food arrived shortly after, and the table fell into a comfortable rhythm. Spencer noticed how light Evan’s meal was and asked, “Mr. York, is that all you’re eating? Your meal looks so plain.”
Before Evan could reply, Abby interjected, “People from Wiltspoon prefer lighter food. Besides, his cold hasn’t fully cleared up, so it’s better for him to stick with something mild.”
