But how should Spencer respond? He thought seriously for a moment. Then he looked earnestly at the girl waiting for an answer and asked softly, "What if things with those women aren't as they seem?"
"You want to tell me that the headlines are fake?" Agnes asked calmly. "Are those photos edited? Do you think the media is making things up?"
"No, those women exist, and the photos are real, that's undeniable." Spencer frowned and said gently, "It's my fault. When we broke up, your sister labeled me as someone who flirts with everyone. I was young and rebellious, so I adopted that persona and started living recklessly. But I never slept with them."
Agnes felt more indignant on her sister's behalf than finding it absurd. "Are you blaming my sister?"
"No, no, no, I'm not blaming her. I'm just explaining the origin of this situation. The truth is, I was acting out of spite."
The man showed deep regret in his eyes. "I'm just answering your question seriously, not making excuses for myself."
"So what did you do to her before? Why did she label you that way?" the girl asked. "Did you cheat on her?"
"No," Spencer denied, shaking his head. He didn't want to recall those days because of his troubled family background and lack of love; he cherished any kindness from his classmates.
But Agnes was Summer's younger sister, which made her like a sister to him too. If she wanted to know, he was willing to tell her.
So, like telling a story, Spencer clearly and concisely explained his high school friendships to Agnes.
He emphasized, "They were really just friends."
