Kelvin laughed and scolded, “How could you put women before our friendship? How did I never realize
this before?”
Kelvin and Spencer had known each other for six or seven years. When they first met, both of them
were struggling in life.
Kelvin was “relegated” to Jadeborough. His pocket money and living expenses were cut off, and his
family had firmly decided to leave him to his own devices.
Upon hearing his request to borrow money on the phone, his fair-weather friends avoided him, claiming
they had bad reception. Kelvin patted the twenty bucks in his pocket and smashed his phone to the
ground.
The snow had been particularly heavy that day. He used all his money to buy a pack of cigarettes and
sat in a billiard room gambling with others, wagering a hundred for each game.
Playing from early in the day to one in the morning, he won over three thousand that day.
On his way back, he was targeted, and a group of people surrounded him, demanding he cough up the
money.
Considering his background, Kelvin had never been robbed in his life. He was already on the verge of
starvation, yet those people dared to snatch his money. Their action was no different from courting
death.
He had fought a lot in the past, and that “relegation” was also because he offended someone in a fight.
However, his previous opponents were all scions. Kelvin was used to behaving unruly at school and
fought recklessly.
Unfortunately, those that targeted him that night were real gangsters, and they thrust every punch with
all their might without holding back their strength.
Kelvin was alone after all, and after a few rounds, he was overpowered.
The snowstorm was severe that night. Cold and famished, Kelvin suddenly gave up resisting after he
was kicked to the ground.
After his mother died, members of his family desperately wished he was dead too. At times, Kelvin
didn’t even know what his purpose of living was.
Nevertheless, he didn’t die. Spencer appeared out of nowhere with a metal rod in hand and beat up all
the gangsters until they wailed in agony.
After chasing away the bullies, Spencer booted Kelvin, asking if the latter was dead and to get up if he
wasn’t.
That was the first time Kelvin had encountered someone as aloof and cold as Spencer.
Subsequently, Kelvin followed Spencer back to the latter’s home. White flowers adorned the run-down
house as that was the hundredth day since Spencer’s grandmother had passed away.
Kelvin ended up staying at Spencer’s place. He transferred schools and managed to pass the
university entrance exam to go back to Jipsdale.
He didn’t want anything from the Tinman family, but when he told Spencer about that, the latter sneered
and called him stupid. Spencer had asked Kelvin why he was refusing something that was rightfully his.
Members of the Tinman family regarded Kelvin as a potential threat when, in fact, he never harbored
any intention to compete with them for the right of inheritance.
However, after listening to Spencer, Kelvin realized he had a point. They think ill of me regardless of my
intention.
Therefore, Kelvin returned to his family, determined to seize everything that should belong to him.
After that, the two lived apart, one in the south and one in the north. Kelvin invested all the money he
took back from the Tinman family in Spencer’s ventures. Just like that, the two became close friends in
adversity.
Over the years, Spencer didn’t have many close friends or family around him, and Kelvin was the only
person he could talk to.
Kelvin’s life got better in recent years, and his mindset also significantly improved. Still, he was
concerned about Spencer, who lived like an ascetic priest. Kelvin was genuinely worried the latter
would one day announce his wish to become a priest.
Spencer was incredibly detached and unconcerned with worldly desires. He had a hot temper but was
antisocial most of the time.
Two years ago, Kelvin started introducing Spencer to various women. Given Spencer’s outstanding
good looks, all the young ladies were enthused to go out with him.
However, Spencer didn’t even spare a glance at those women. Some of the more gutsy girls even
asked Kelvin if Spencer was homosexual.
For a while, Kelvin really did try to hook Spencer up with men. In the end, he was beaten up by the
latter and grew more sensible afterward.
To Kelvin’s surprise, last April, Spencer suddenly told him the woman he loved had come looking for
him.
That day, Spencer was visibly delighted. At one o’clock in the morning, he called Kelvin and merely
uttered a single sentence, “Kelvin, she came looking for me.”
He didn’t hang up the phone after, but when Kelvin asked who she was, he didn’t answer.
Fast forward to last month, Spencer abruptly expressed his wish to get married and start a family to
Kelvin.
If Kelvin didn’t know him well, he would’ve suspected Spencer was deliberately calling to provoke him.
What? Even if he has a girlfriend, does he think he’s ready to get married?
After meeting Charlize that day, Kelvin truly felt a weight lifted off his chest.
Spencer lived too detached from reality. Only when he was with Charlize did he seem to have a bit of
vitality.
The way he tenderly cared about someone, the gentleness in his eyes and voice when he spoke, it was
as if he had finally learned to perceive emotions.
Realizing Charlize hadn’t returned, Spencer frowned. “I’ve always been like this.”
He got to his feet as he spoke. “Charlize hasn’t come back yet.”
Kelvin waved his hand. “All right, all right. I know you two are in love. I’ll take my leave now. You can go
find her.”
With that, he turned around and walked toward the exit.
Just as he reached the door, he saw Charlize, who was standing outside the door.
“You’re back? Spencer is looking for you. He’s very worried because you haven’t come back after so
long.”
Noticing her reddened ears, Kelvin fathomed Charlize was a shy person. He smiled and didn’t speak
further. “I have something to attend to. Let’s get together again next time. I’ll be off now!”
Charlize, having “eavesdropped” on their conversation, was feeling very guilty and didn’t dare to meet
Kelvin’s gaze. She merely hummed in response.
The next second, she saw Spencer coming out.
Eyes riveted on her, he strode over and pulled her into his arms, then lowered his head to kiss her
forehead. “Don’t mind him. That’s just the way he is.”
Charlize looked up at the man before her sheepishly. Incredulity churned within her as she recalled
what Spencer had said earlier. How could someone as exceptional as him say that he wasn’t good
enough?
At that thought, Charlize felt a twinge in her heart. She momentarily forgot that they were standing in
the doorway of the private room in a hotel and couldn’t help but wrap her arms tightly around him. “I like
you so much, Spencer.”
Her voice was filled with heartfelt emotions, filling Spencer’s chest with warmth as he listened to her
confession.
The elevator suddenly dinged at that moment, and a waiter came out pushing a food cart.
Startled, Charlize hurriedly pulled away from Spencer’s embrace, repeatedly brushing her hair with her
head lowered and a sense of guilt dancing in her heart.
Spencer loosened his grip and glanced at the waiter who had just exited the elevator. He gently patted
Charlize’s shoulder to comfort her.
Fortunately, the waiter was sensible. He pushed the food cart and walked past them while staring
straight ahead, acting as if he had seen nothing.
A trace of warmth flashed across Spencer’s usually cold gaze as he looked at Charlize. He held her
hand and said, “Let’s go and take a walk.”
“Okay.”
Contentment surged within Charlize as she glanced at their linked hands and allowed the man to lead
her away from the hotel.
