Stella was dumbfounded.
Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Spencer felt somewhat better.
He was not a substitute as he had thought before.
Before he could say anything more, Stella spoke, "No.
Who gave you the confidence to think that you can be as handsome as Keegan?" Spencer’s face instantly turned red in anger.
"Are you blind? How am I any less handsome than him? Not only that, but I'm also younger than him.
The number of women swooning over me could populate a small country!" Stella could not help but laugh, "If you're so confident, why are you so desperate to compare yourself to Keegan in front of me? To me, no one in this world can be better than him.
You're just embarrassing yourself here.
Instead, you should just ask your girlfriend whether you or Keegan is more handsome.
She'll undoubtedly choose you without hesitation.
It's the same thing." Spencer snorted, "I just can't stand the fact that you think an old man like him is better than me!" Stella's eyelid twitched, "Are you not going to live past thirty?" "Fuck!" Spencer got even angrier.
"Why didn't you defend me like this when other people scolded me in school? You've never treated me as your boyfriend, have you?" Stella replied, "Nothing nice ever comes out of your mouth.
You deserved to be scolded.
Because of Sophia, I already didn't have a lot of friends in school.
Did you expect me to make more enemies? Do you really want me to be completely isolated by everyone else?" "I only dealt with those guys because of you!" Stella was bewildered, "What did that have to do with me?” Spencer scolded, "You ungrateful thing.
What makes you think people who didn't like you would want to group up with you? It's all because I beat them up!" Stella's lip twitched, "Hmph.
I could’ve easily done the group project alone, yet you made my life harder.
After I did my part, I still had to finish theirs.
He figured it would have been better if he had nurtured their blossoming love, cultivating a bond so strong they felt inseparable, just like the one she and Keegan shared.
However, he never would have thought that the cat-and-mouse game he played would cost him the relationship.
He just could not forgive himself.
Coco blinked her big eyes and stared at Spencer for some time before she said, "Mister, you're more handsome than Uncle Keegan." Spencer was taken aback.
Then, he burst into laughter and reached to pinch Coco's cheeks, "You certainly know what you're talking about." Then, he glanced at Stella, "Unlike someone delusional." Stella was speechless at his comment.
Coco leaned closer to Spencer, asking, "Mister, are you friends with Stella?" Stella corrected her, "Coco, his name is Spencer.
You can call him Uncle Spencer." "But he's younger than Uncle Keegan." Spencer was delighted, "Children never lie, right?" Stella said nonchalantly, "Whatever.
I don't really care anyway." Spencer was speechless.
Then, he looked back at Coco, "Little girl, you can just call me Spencer." Coco liked Spencer very much, and they immediately began chatting happily with each other.
