Chapter 157
It was a tall and slender man who was about Frank’s age. His skin was fair, his eyes were clear, and his hair was light brown. He had a smile on his lips, making him seem friendly.
Looking at his face, Elspeth thought about his identity.
If my guess is right, he must be Frank’s best friend, Spencer White, she thought. Spencer was famous in Blaydal since the White Family was in politics and had high status. However, Spencer looked lively and youthful rather than a serious person.
Spencer had seen Frank in the flowerbed from a mile away, and he thought it was hilarious. Spencer teased as soon as he reached them, “Oh my, I never knew that you like flowers too.”
When Frank got up, he felt his butt hurt. He endured the pain and snarled, “Why did you do that to me, Elspeth?”
Initially, he was going to say “kick”, but he was too embarrassed to say it since Spencer was here.
Hearing his words, Elspeth shrugged and was secretly delighted when she saw his frustrated expression.
“You started it by talking rudely to me.”
At that moment, Frank glared at her. Since there was an outsider, he could only let her off the hook. After all, he couldn’t possibly fight her.
“Alright, don’t be so calculative with women. I’m here to ask you something,” said Spencer.
Frank averted his dark gaze from Elspeth and looked at Spencer. “What is it?”
“We are going to have a wine tasting in a few days. Do you want to join us? I heard that…”
“I’m not going. That’s boring.” Frank rejected him without hesitation.
Spencer didn’t say anything and chuckled as he looked at Frank’s annoyed expression. “I heard they are giving away the ancient wine glass you always wanted. Are you sure you don’t want to go?”
Although Frank was bad-tempered, he was a collector. He had a full set of wine glasses, but one was missing. He never expected that the last wine glass he was searching for would be in the hands of the organizer of the wine tasting event.
“I’ll think about it.”
On the other hand, Elspeth was uninterested in their conversation. “Where’s Grandfather?”
Spencer had noticed her from the start. Elspeth had long wavy hair, looked elegant, and had a sense of innocence about her. When did Frank have such beauty around him? he thought.
“Who is she, Frank? Is she your hidden girlfriend? Are you taking her to meet your family?”
When Frank heard his words, he frowned and said, “There’s no way that would happen. She’s my long-lost cousin that I told you about before. I’m bringing her back to the family.”
“I see.” Spencer looked enlightened. “So, this is the legendary Miss Lynwood. It’s nice to meet you.”
For unknown reasons, Elspeth didn’t like whatever Spencer said.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. White.”
Spencer was flattered. “I haven’t even said who I was, but you already knew. Am I that famous?”
“Oh yeah. Rumors say that you always spend time with Mr. Joneson. The two of you are inseparable and have feelings for each other. It’s a lovely sight to see.” Elspeth was quick-witted.
