Chapter 501 Shaking Hands to Reconcile
Aubree stared at his hand in a daze, only hearing buzzes. Then she shook hands with Spencer.
Holding her hand, Spencer wondered why he suddenly wanted to respond to Aubree.
Ivan and Jennifer watched the scene, tensely holding their breath.
Heaving a sigh, Spencer said with a smile, “Let the bygones be bygones. I hope we all will be happy
and peaceful in the future.”
After releasing Aubree’s hand, he stared at Ivan and Jennifer, stuffing his hands into the pocket of his
slacks. With a faint smile, as usual, he said, “I gotta go. Thank you for the wonderful dinner.”
When he turned away, Ivan followed him.
The moonlight was bright, and the night was deep.
In the yard, the chirping of cicadas was heard. The air was filled with the flowers’ fragrance. Everything
seemed to be gentle.
Spencer stood next to his Volvo, looking back at the man behind him.
“I didn’t plan the car accident that took your mother and my father away.” Ivan had never explained this
matter before, although all the media resources had implied he was the manipulator while he was just
18.
His words slightly startled Spencer. He felt this night was indeed extraordinary.
Their eyes locked.
Ivan added gently, “When the car accident happened, I happened to bypass there. It was a
coincidence.”
In fact, Spencer hadn’t cared about the truth long ago, as it didn’t make any sense.
Without remarking, he reaches his right hand to Ivan like he did in the living room earlier. It fully
expressed his attitude.
Ivan cast down his eyes and held his hand.
The warmth traveled up from his palm to Ivan’s vein. They shook hands to reconcile at this meaningful
moment.novelbin
“Ivan, my dear brother.” This was the first time Spencer admitted him to be his older brother, which he
had wanted to call for a long time. “We’ll be happy in the future.”
Warmth surged in Ivan’s heart. Spencer’s call made him overjoyed.
“Ehn,” he replied.
After a while, Spencer let go of his hand and chuckled, “I really need to go. Rowan has urged me for a
while. He used the newly developed special medicine on my wound, so he would observe me for
another week after I’d recovered.”
“Be careful when driving.”
Ivan watched him sit in the car and leave.
Jennifer stood at the door of the living room, watching the scene in the yard. Tears sprung to her eyes.
She had imagined this to happen but didn’t expect it so soon.
Finnley worked overtime this evening, and so did Linda.
Although they were in separate offices, they were just a wall apart.
Linda sorted out the files while being alert to things outside the door.
Shortly after, Finnley bypassed the office. Linda immediately turned off her laptop, picked up her
handbag, and followed him.
They didn’t enter the same elevator.
It was nine in the evening, so almost all the employees had gone home. Linda gazed at the floor
number tensely, wishing no one else would enter on the way.
However, the elevator stopped three times, and three coworkers entered on different floors.
When the elevator finally arrived on the first floor, Linda rushed out, only to find Finnley vanishing from
the glass door of the entrance.
She ran after him.
Thinking that she had seen his car on the bus, Linda believed he could give her a ride home.
“Excuse me, Mr. Russell.”
Finnley heard her call when he pulled the door of his car open, seeing Linda running toward him.
“Where do you stay?” Linda asked bravely, “May I take a ride, please?”
Finnley answered gently, “Skyhigh Apartment Complex.”
Linda’s eyes lit up. “My apartment is opposite.”
Finnley agreed, “Sit in, Linda.”
“Thanks.” Holding the door handle next to the passenger’s seat, Linda suddenly recalled a social norm.
She asked with a smile, “May I sit in the passenger’s seat?”
