Chapter 707 The Outsider Who Doesn't Fit In

"Lucia, you didn't eat asparagus before, but it's very nutritious. Spencer is trying to break your bad habit so you eat some," Esmae said.

"Yes, yes," said Spencer, showing his guilty conscience but he cheekily took Esmae's words.

"Don't be so picky."

Lucia raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you just say that Lucia wasn't a picky eater?" Helena still didn't want to let go of Spencer, but she was quickly stopped by her mother.

"Alright, let's stop talking and continue eating," Esmae scolded her daughter and started eating again. The others didn't mention it anymore. Spencer was the only one who was hurt by the embarrassment just now.

After dinner, there were desserts. This time, it was a buffet-style feast. The servants in the living room no longer needed to clean and tidy up. Everyone enjoyed the desserts with a relaxed and happy mood, and the line between the host and servants can be a little blurry at such times.

Spencer had eaten only a small amount at dinner, and he was in a state of extreme mental and physical discomfort, so at dessert time, he met Esmae and Chris and excused himself. He said he was tired so he went upstairs.

Esmae squinted at Spencer, who had disappeared into the corner of the building, frowned and said to Lucia, who was with the bay and Helena.

"Lucia, I think Spencer ate very little at dinner. Maybe he's not feeling well. Go up and take care of him."

Lucia was startled, and after a moment's hesitation, she nodded. Seeing Esmae's determined eyes, she walked slowly up the stairs.

As soon as Lucia left, Helena couldn't help but say,

"Mom, can't you see that Spencer doesn't care about Lucia? He doesn't even know what Lucia likes to eat at the dinner table."

"That's because Lucia didn't give him a chance to know more," Esmae answered at once. "He can't be blamed for that. And you, don't take it out on him all the time. He came here as Lucia's fiance, after all. You're the host. You should treat the guests with respect. Don't lose your decorum!"

Helena compressed her lips and didn't continue.

Upstairs, Lucia could have glossed thing over. Even if she hadn't gone to see Spencer, Spencer wouldn't have known about it. However, she just wanted to take a look at him and "care about" him.

Standing at Spencer's door, Lucia knocked.

After a while, Spencer came out and opened the door. He frowned when he saw Lucia, but Lucia smiled.

"Auntie asked me to come up and take care of you, to see if there was anything... wrong with you."

She asked while knowing the answer!

Enraged, but unwilling to show weakness to Lucia, Spencer said coldly,

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

"Really?" Lucia said, leaning against the doorframe and staring at Spencer's stomach with a half-smile.

"That was quite a kick. Are you sure you're all right?"

"Lucia, don't be so arrogant..." Spencer gritted his teeth.

"Isn't arrogance always your style?" Lucia sneered. "She asked me to take care of you. I just listened to her."
