So, Agnes sat quietly during the meal, her head down as she ate, but her thoughts had already drifted far away. She felt troubled, sensing that the peace of the Campell family was about to be shattered. Spencer would be around for the next three months with the crew. Who knows what the situation would be like once Ming returns tomorrow? Agnes felt a deep sense of worry.
"Agnes," Spencer called softly, his eyes resting on his sister's face as he ate, making sure not to ignore her.
The girl looked up, pulling her thoughts back. "Hmm?" She met his gentle gaze.
"Have you ever published a comic book?" he asked inquisitively.
The girl nodded but said nothing. Her sister, however, answered with a smile, "Agnes published her first comic at seventeen, and it sold very well. It was among the top ten in the domestic comic rankings that year."
"That's impressive!" Spencer looked at his sister again, admiration written all over his face. "Can you give me a signed copy? I'd like to keep it as a collection."
Did he really read comics? Agnes didn't believe it. He probably didn't have such a hobby; he just wanted to get closer to her sister and build a relationship. So Agnes didn't agree immediately. Instead, she smiled politely at him without agreeing or refusing.
Summer continued eating, occasionally glancing at them but saying nothing. The topic of comics didn't last long.
After the meal, Spencer sensibly praised Summer's cooking again and then said goodbye to the sisters. "I'll be leaving now. Thank you for lunch." He didn't linger too long.
"Sis, I have to go too. There's a meeting at the company this afternoon!" Agnes said as she picked up her bag.
"Do you want me to drive you?" Summer asked.
"No need!" The girl walked towards the door, following Spencer closely. She turned to her sister and said, "It's easy to get a cab downstairs. You should rest well; you'll be busy with the crew starting tomorrow. Bye!"
She stepped out of the front door, waved back at her sister, and then closed it behind her.
Summer didn't chase after them or think much of it.
