Take Me Away novel Chapter 99

In that moment, Spencer was like a teenager. It was like he was seventeen all over again. He felt too nervous to hold hands with a girl.

Clasping her hands together, Fiona was overwhelmed with joy. Spencer had just said that he no longer liked Celine and that he wanted to live a long and happy life with her.

As she stared at his broad back, Fiona wanted to ask him why he kissed her just then. Although she thought she understood a bit, she wanted to hear the reason directly from him. After all, she wasn't sure if her thinking was the same as Spencer's.

"You just..." The nervousness in her throat almost choked her, but she eventually shrugged her shoulders and gave up. "Ah, forget it!" Since she didn't expect anything from him, she thought she had no right to ask.

She turned around instead and headed to the piano room.

'What did she want to ask?' Spencer wondered. 'Just ask if you have a question! I will answer you!'

But right then, he could only watch as she walked away.

He immediately followed but ensured that he gave her some space.

Fiona walked faster and faster as he followed helplessly. But then she slowed down and he stopped.

The people who saw them turned their heads, wondering what happened.

Knowing that Spencer was right behind her, Fiona kept her silence. She merely raised her hand to touch her lips. They still felt hot despite it being cold outside.

She continued walking and reached the piano room, followed by Spencer.

"Aren't you going to have lunch?" she asked with a frown as she sat in front of the piano. "Why are you following me?"

"I want to listen to you play the piano." Spencer crossed his arms over his chest and sat down. He was determined to stay with her.

"Looks like someone wants to give me a hard time." Fiona cast a glance at Spencer. Inside, her snarky remark felt like a lie.

"Just pretend I'm not here," he replied.

"You..."

She was quickly interrupted by the ringing of her phone.

It was a blessing in disguise because she couldn't really come up with a reply to him. She quickly took out her phone and was surprised to see the message on the screen.

"Happy New Year, Fiona! Take care not to catch a cold given this weather. And save my number. I'm Charles."

Seeing the strange expression on her face as she read the message, Spencer had a bad feeling. He walked up to her and grabbed her phone.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Fiona stood up and tried to take back her phone.

But Spencer was already reading the message. Seeing the name of the sender, his face instantly darkened. With a press of a button, the message was deleted.

"Why did he send you a text message?" He entertained mixed feelings as he looked at Fiona.

"How would I know? It came out of nowhere!" She grabbed the phone from Spencer's hand and searched for the message. "Where's the text? Why did you delete it?"

"If I didn't, would you save the number?" he asked. "It looks like Charles has plans on you. Just ignore him! Don't send him a text. Don't even save his number."

"He's my boss," Fiona replied, biting her lower lip.
