Aubree also reminded him of his mother.
Spencer wondered whether his life would be different if his mother still lived.
She passed away when he was five, so he didn’t have many memories of her. However, she was the most important person in his life.
“Get some sleep, will you?” Jennifer reminded Ivan after feeding him. “Don’t overthink. Finnley is taking care of the company for you. Lay on your side. I’ll add another pillow. You must get better soon.”
“Ehn. Thanks.” Ivan nodded in agreement, feeling secure when Jennifer was beside him.
Jennifer put down the empty bowl and got him a basin of warm water. Then she wiped his face with a towel.
After helping him lie down, Jennifer got another basin of water for Spencer, who had also finished the soup.
Squatting in front of him, Jennifer passed the towel to him.
Spencer looked into her eyes while sitting in the chair. He didn’t take over the towel until several seconds later.
Jennifer could tell he was in a bad mood but didn’t know how to console him.
Spencer wiped his face with the towel.
Seeing the red and swollen palm print on his cheek, Jennifer knew he must feel wronged.
“Spencer,” she whispered, “I apologize to you on her behalf.”
“Why?” Spencer rolled his eyes at her in disdain. “I’ll never forgive her.”
“I don’t mean to ask you to forgive her. Just chill.” Jennifer also felt aggrieved, but she inwardly asked herself to let go of it. “You can’t push yourself because of others’ mistakes.”
Spencer didn’t reply, seething with rage whenever thinking of Aubree.
In fact, all people knew that Ivan had defended Spencer earlier.
Lying on his side, Ivan listened to them while closing his eyes. His thin lips were pressed together as if he had fallen asleep.
“Spencer...”
“Stop it.” Spencer felt sorry for Jennifer, wondering if she had been aggrieved after becoming Aubree’s daughter-in-law.
“I’ll try my best to improve the relationship with her. There are plenty of years ahead. Only letting the bygones be bygones could make everyone happy.”
