Chapter 2326
Meanwhile, most of the people had gradually returned home after having spent a considerable amount of time by the river. Only a few groups were left, and they were still enjoying the serene view of the flowing waters.
Spencer and Lulu walked hand in hand along the embankment, where the wind would blow from time to time, making Lulu's hair flow ever so gracefully in the wind.
"Are you cold?" Spencer lowered his gaze, looking at her with concern.
"Not at all. The evening breeze feels quite nice." Lulu smiled and shook her head gently.
Fixing her hair, Spencer muttered, "I'm sorry for making you upset earlier. I'll be more careful in the future. I'll try to reduce the amount of time I spend with Icyln outside of work."
"It's okay, I understand that you're in a difficult position. I've never blamed you for anything before." Lulu said, understanding that Spencer was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Besides, he had not done anything inappropriate, having only acted out of duty for a promise.
"Thank you for being so understanding," Spencer replied, touched by Lulu's understanding.
"Although I understand, deep down, seeing you with her still makes me uncomfortable, especially when she's clinging on to you..." Lulu bit her lip, as she would feel uneasy whenever she saw Icyln hanging around Spencer.
"I get it. Rest assured; I won't spend time alone with her anymore. Even at work, we'll only discuss work-related matters. Nothing else," Spencer earnestly assured her.
"Before you get too worked up, I'm not blaming you for anything. It's just that I've been thinking a lot these past few days, and I've finally arrived at a few realizations." Lulu stopped in her tracks and looked up at Spencer with a serious look on her face.
"What's wrong?" he asked, his solemness matching hers.
He felt that Lulu seemed a bit off. 'Why has she become so serious all of a sudden?'
