Take Me Away novel Chapter 149

After standing outside for a long time,

Spencer finally decided to walk back to the meeting room. Suddenly, he received a call from Ethan.

Before he pressed the green button, he took a deep breath and mentally readied himself to talk to his father. "Hello? Dad?"

Spencer called out with a bitter smile. Ethan's roar then came from the earpiece. "Wow! So you still remember that I'm your father?! What's the matter between you and Celine? Tell me! Are you really trying to piss me off? What do you think you'll get from this?!"

Spencer closed his eyes in anguish and said, "It's all my fault."

"Of course it's your fault! Do you know what the kind of heinous accusations you'll have to face? Men don't do such thing to their sisters! What were you thinking, Spencer?" Ethan was trembling with anger. It took him a while to get himself together, but when he did, he immediately changed the topic and asked, "Are you just angry at me? Is it because of my relationship with your aunt Anna? Is that the reason why you've always been against me? Do you not like Fiona?"

Spencer frowned as he rubbed his temples in an effort to alleviate the headache that was building up inside his head. Ethan was sounding impossible to deal with at that moment, and he didn't know how to say what he wanted to say, but he was determined.

"The prosecutors have called me. They told me that they want Fiona to go with Celine so that both of them could be investigated," Ethan said in a helpless tone. "Why didn't you save Fiona when she was taken away by Charles? Can't you let go of your mother's death? It's not Fiona's fault!"

Spencer clenched his fists. He used to be someone who would think too much, who would dare not to do something he wanted if it would be detrimental to anyone at all. Because of the responsibilities he grew up having, he thought it was imperative of him to always come up with the perfect solution to every problem. However, because of this, he ignored the things he cared most—one of them being Fiona's feelings. But now, after everything that had happened, he knew that next time, he would not hesitate to save Fiona. The lives of other people were not as important as Fiona's.

"Why are you so quiet?" asked Ethan.

"Fiona doesn't need to be investigated," Spencer said in a low voice.

"What? You think that she doesn't need to be investigated?" Ethan asked, obviously perplexed. "Are you hearing yourself? Who do you think you are? What makes you think that such a decision is up to you to make?"

"I've already divorced her, Dad. She has nothing to do with me now so she doesn't have to go to places like the court."

"What? What are you saying?!" Even though Ethan had already experienced a lot in the past few days, he couldn't help but raise his voice at his son. "Spencer! You divorced Fiona without my permission? Why? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Are you really out of your mind, Spencer? Are you really crazy?! You really want to give me and your grandfather a heart attack, huh?!"

"Don't you dare tell Grandpa anything! Just...wait. After I solve the problems in P City, I'll go back and solve the problems Fiona and I have. So please, just wait, " Spencer said hurriedly.

"You don't need to worry about anything that's happening in P City. Go back to M City immediately!" Ethan screamed. "I'm warning you, Spencer—even if you divorce Fiona, Celine is still your sister! And even if I divorce Anna, I will never let Celine marry into the Cheng family! Remember that!"

"Let's talk about that some other time! As for M City... I'm not going back any time soon," said Spencer firmly.

"Spencer! Don't you ever think—even for one goddamn second—that I can't control you now that you're grown! Understood? If I order you to come back to M City, you will, whether you like it or not! And besides, with your current state, it's best that you go back! Do you hear me?"

Spencer's eyes narrowed and he said, "I'm sorry but I won't be taking any order from anyone, even from you. I'll call you again after I get rid of Charles. Bye for now." With that, he pulled the phone away from his ear and hung up quickly.

"Hello? Spencer?! Hello?! You—" Beep! Beep! Beep!

Spencer turned his phone off with much conviction. Unfortunately for his father, he wasn't scared of him anymore—now that he was set on facing Charles, he would not accept any other conclusion but Charles' death! Only by achieving that ending would he find peace inside himself.

As for the baby in Fiona's belly, while he had been praying that it was his, he somehow couldn't find it in him to know for sure.

"Spencer!"
