Take Me Away novel Chapter 51

As Celine walked out of the living room, she got a glimpse of Fiona walking away. She walked up to Spencer and commented, "The energy seems quite tense. Do you not get along with her? Is it because of last night? Is she angry because she saw what happened?"

"It's really none of your business," Spencer replied, his eyes darkening as he turned to her. "I got pretty drunk last night. I don't remember anything."

"Well, I remember. I had no idea that you were getting married until I called my mother a few days ago," she said, staring at him keenly. "I heard that when you were both kids, the two of you were engaged. If things had turned out differently between us, would you still marry her?"

Spencer's expression was grim, and he pursed his thin lips into a straight line. "There's no room for many ifs. Anyway, I'm leaving."

"Already? Where are you going?"

"I have to go to the base."

"But Spencer, I just came back yesterday..." Celine frowned and change the topic. Her demeanor changed, and she looked at him flirtatiously. "Spencer come on. I haven't seen you in six years. There has got to be something you want to tell me. What's the rush? Old friends should be able to catch up."

"The wedding has caused a lot of delays, so I really have to rush to the base. We can talk about it when I have time!" As Spencer turned to leave, Celine rushed over to him and stretched out her hand to stop him.

"What do you think you're doing?" Spencer said, frowning. He took a look around, seeing the people in the yard and blurted, "Stop it!"

Hearing this made Celine instantly giggle. "You know Spencer, you still have the exact same reactions to my teasing. Your expression and voice haven't changed at all. I know it. You haven't changed. You still love..."

However, before she finished her sentence, Spencer coldly said, "That was a long time ago, Celine. Let's not talk about the past anymore." He strode away, leaving Celine standing there.

As she watched him leave, her eyes gradually became defiant and unwilling.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

The ringing brought her back to the present. She pulled her phone out and frowned when she saw the caller ID. "Hello? What's up?"

"So how do you feel to be attending your brother's wedding?" This was followed by a man's laugh on the other end of the phone.

"Charles, mind your own business!" said Celine, grinding her teeth.

Unfazed, Charles said, "I just wanted to check on you. I was afraid you might get hurt and forget you need to go to work in my company tomorrow. That's why I called you."

"Really? I don't believe you."

"Come on!" Charles flashed an evil smile. "By the way, I found you a special assistant."

"Who are you talking about?"

"You will know it then," Charles said with a wicked grin. Before Celine could react, he hung up the phone.

At D University.

Fiona had just got off the bus to school, and she rushed to the classroom. She got to the corridor and as soon as she went past the stairs, she spotted Ryan and Leona standing there.

"Ryan, I bought you some breakfast." Leona raised the bag of food and handed it to Ryan.

"I've already had breakfast." Ryan always had a gentle expression on his face, but today it seemed gloomy. "I'm going back to my classroom now."

Fiona lowered her head trying to go past them unnoticed as she decided to walk into the classroom.

"Hi Fiona!"
