Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) -
Chapter 500 What About You?
"Right. Uncle Spencer, please stay for dinner."
"Uncle Spencer, please join us for dinner."
As the children also requested, Aubree smiled at Spencer more gently.
Ivan and Jennifer were shocked, and so were Jordan and Marry. They realized Aubree had indeed changed utterly.
She was trying to accept everything happening in her life.
Spencer looked into her eyes but couldn't utter a word.
"Spencer," Aubree said frankly in others' presence, "Sorry. I must apologize for my childish behaviors before."
Then she bowed at him.
Time seemed to pause. The room was deadly silent.
All people looked at her in disbelief.
Spencer frowned. His gaze swept between Jennifer and Ivan, wondering what was happening as Aubree still wanted to kick him out of the city two days ago.
"Spencer," Jennifer uttered to ease the awkwardness, "Mom has apologized. Will you forgive her?"
Spencer noticed the way how she addressed Aubree.
Countless ideas came across his mind, and he couldn't understand the current situation.
Aubree stared at him faithfully after bowing at him.
"Why don't we have dinner?" Ivan propped his arm on Jennifer's shoulders and patted his mother's arm. Then he walked toward the dining room. "Spencer, hurry. You'll love the dishes made by your sister-in- law."
Spencer hadn't admitted Ivan was his older brother yet.
Jennifer took Aubree's arm. "Mom, let's go. I made Sunday Roast, your favorite. I hope I've made some progress."
"Yeah! Eat!"
"The food smells so good."
The children were joyful, trotting toward the dining room.
Aubree felt less embarrassed as Jennifer had been too considerate.
The table was covered with dishes. Under the gentle light in the dining room, they had good appetites and were in good moods.
Nine homemade dishes were on the table, none rare or valuable, including Bangers and Mash, Cottage Pie, Full English Breakfast, Pie and Mash, and Sunday Roast. Jennifer cooked them personally, and they believed the dishes must be delicious.
"Take a seat."
All sat at the dining table. A maid served them with rice.
Alfie and Diana sat next to Spencer. "Thank you for your gifts, Uncle Spencer."
"It's so nice of your, Uncle Spencer."
"I'm glad you guys like them," Spencer replied gently.
He could tell how excited the children were. They couldn't wait to unpack the gifts.
Spencer, however, felt awkward during dinner. He wondered why he sat with them in the dining room.
He was baffled.
Aubree could hardly tell the food's taste. She even didn't dare to look at Spencer, feeling guilty somehow. She thought Spencer was unwilling to forgive her.
She had apologized to him in the presence of the butler, maids, Ivan, and Jennifer, but Spencer kept silent.
She felt disgraced and embarrassed.
Dinner ended.
Aubree kept silent. However, Spencer took the initiative to talk to her, "Congratulations! You've let go of yourself." He didn't address her, but his tone was relaxed. "What about you?" Aubree asked him, "Have you let go of yourself?"
Spencer didn't answer. His eyes darkened. He didn't know, or probably he hadn't been ready to let go of himself yet.
After all, Aubree had hurt him too deeply in the past decades. Since he was a child, she had kept suppressing him and trying to kick him out of the town. Therefore, he disliked this woman.
Moreover, Aubree used to harm Jennifer before.
"Spencer." Jennifer panicked while watching them. "If you let go of yourself, you'll feel happy. We all were born to die. Whenever we're still alive, we must be happy."
A smile touched Spencer's lips. He darted at her and Aubree. Finally, he reached his right hand to the latter.
