"Uncle, are you busy?" Alfie's cute voice came through, with a hint of coyness in his question.
"Not at all," Spencer leaned back in his chair, casually grabbing a pillow and placing it on his lap, a relaxed smile on his face. "What are you up to? Have you been studying well lately? Did you finally remember to give me a call?"
"Yes, I've been studying a lot. I've really missed you, you know? Can you play a game with me?" The little guy issued a direct invitation, with the last sentence being the key point.
Spencer asked, "Now?"
"Yes, my classmates are all too weak, not fun at all, they're no match for me."
"Thanks for thinking highly of me, young master Alfie." Spencer readily agreed, "Let's connect then."
"Alright!" The little one was especially happy, "Uncle, I'll hang up now! Don't go easy on me, we're going to have an epic battle!"
"Okay."
After the call ended, the uncle and nephew connected to start their game, which lasted for three hours.
Spencer rarely found a worthy opponent, as he considered the kids at the club to be weak as well.
Meanwhile, the news of his ex-girlfriend Cherry jumping into the river had taken over the headlines, quickly raising the spotlight on him.
It wasn't until Spencer realized it was getting late that he said to Alfie, "Young master, it's time to sleep, you have homework tomorrow."
"After this game." The child was deeply immersed, "Uncle, can you play with me every weekend?"
"I'll agree if you win this round, I don't want to play with you if you're too weak."
"Don't be like that!" Alfie lacked confidence, after all, he was facing a king today, "You can't bully a kid!"
Spencer was amused by him, "Where's Diana?"
"She's out."
"What about grandma?"
"Grandma took Diana out to play."
Due to the time difference, it was still daytime over there.
After the game ended, Spencer bid farewell to Alfie and went upstairs to take a shower, the sound of rushing water echoing from the warm yellow lit bathroom...
