“You are also a Marsh,” Ivan said sincerely, “I want you to meet my mother.” “No.” Spencer immediately answered, “I'm not a Marsh. Neither my dad nor my mom’s last name’s Marsh.” Ivan got mixed feelings upon hearing this.
Spencer didn’t like Aubree, who had been trying hard to drive him away over the years.
Ivan knew how he felt, so he didn’t say anything more.
But he had made his own attitude clear. He had taken Spencer as family.
Although he didn't express it in words, it was a lot for him.
He had always been a proud man.
Jennifer was moved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two of them made up. It was their gain from the incident, wasn't it? In Kelsington Bay.
The sun shone on the house.
In the yard, Aubree was having tea alone with a lot on her mind. She looked serious, but no one knew exactly what she was thinking.
Alfie held Diana's hand and they walked over. They observed Aubree to tell her mood.
“Grandma?” Aubree cto herself and looked at the kids.
“Grandma, why are you unhappy?” Diana sat down beside her and grabbed her hand. “What's on your mind?” Looking at Diana, who looked like Jennifer, Aubree suddenly got mixed feelings.
She was angry with Jennifer.
She might get Ivan killed one day. Ivan had seldom gotten hurt in the past 38 years. But after he met Jennifer, he was put in danger several times.
Thinking of Ivan covered in blood, Aubree’s heart ached.
Diana looked at her in confusion and could tell that Aubree seemed a bit distant somehow. She dared not say one more word.
Aubree did not answer her granddaughter's question. She was in a bad mood. She got up and walked toward the living room, in case she might snap at the kids.
Alfie and Diana looked at each other and followed Aubree in hand in hand.
The news was on TV.
They could see a burning house with smoke in the wild.
The reporter said it was an abandoned warehouse, in which Hanson, the wanted man, kidnapped Jennifer and asked Ivan Marsh for a billion and for Spencer's life.
He had asked his men to carry several tanks of gas there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIvan and Spencer got his call and called the police. Hanson lit the warehouse on fire, trying to let them die with him, Ivan and Spencer had a narrow escape, but were both wounded.
Looking at the news, Aubree was in shock and worries.
They had just escaped a fire? Was that why they all looked embarrassed and wounded when she saw them? Geez! It was said in the news that Hanson had died in the fire, but Aubree didn’t feel any happier.
She got a lingering fear.
If they didn’t escape... She couldn't imagine it.
She might have lost her son.
Why did Ivan’s life turn to be so dangerous after he met Jennifer? It was all because of Spencer. Aubree now thought that Spencer was a much bigger disaster than his mom! They brought nothing but bad luck.
No, Spencer had to leave the city.
He would get Ivan killed.
