His deep eyes stared straight at him. The look in Dave's eyes hinted at both a warning and a caution.
Seeing him like that, Spencer laughed. His features were devilishly handsome yet carried a hint of refinement. “What's the matter? Am I not right?”
“I have no idea what you're talking about!” Dave immediately averted his gaze, denying it.
A thin smile played at the corner of Spencer's mouth as he gazed into the distance. “You might be able to fool others, but you can't fool me. Don't forget what I do for a living!”
“What do you do?” Upon hearing that, Dave immediately became angry. “Aren't you a doctor? Kenneth is still lying there!” Dave's voice carried a hint of indignation.
Spencer looked at him, calm and composed. “There's no need for you to hastily deny my conjecture in such a manner. I've told you, I mean no harm.”
Dave glanced at him, then immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere.
“I've indeed done my best for Kenneth's matter. The rest is up to him!” he said.
Dave remained silent, smoking his cigarette with great intensity.
Spencer moistened his lips, then continued to speak. “Actually, it's not just me. Even Kenneth knows!”
Dave was taken aback for a moment. He turned around, his gaze falling on Spencer.
As if noticing his astonishment, Spencer spoke. “What? You don't believe it?”
Dave looked at him, wanting to speak but hesitating.
However, his hesitant demeanor had clarified everything.
Spencer continued, “From the moment I arrived, I could tell. Think about it, wouldn't Kenneth, an experienced man in relationships, be able to see it too?”
“Spencer!” Dave's voice echoed, filled with warning.
“I don't have any other intentions!” Spencer suddenly looked at him seriously. “I'm about to leave, so let's consider today as a farewell chat.”
Looking at him, Dave narrowed his eyes. “You're leaving too?”
“It's my fault that Kenneth ended up like this,” Spencer said. “So, I will leave with them. At the very least, I need to ensure they return safely before anything else.”
Listening to his words, Dave nodded. “With you escorting them, I actually feel at ease!”
Spencer looked at him. “Don't you have anything to say?”
“To who?” Dave suddenly asked him.
The stared into each other's eyes, both fathoming each other's intention.
“Anyone will do!” said Spencer, “There are some things that, perhaps once spoken, will leave no regrets!”
Dave gazed into the distance. “Life is inherently filled with regrets. Without them, can it even be called life?”
Spencer looked at him. “So, you admit it?”
“Admit what?”
“Admit that you like her!” said Spencer.
Dave looked at him, then firmly declared, “I won't admit it!”
“You really are stubborn!” Spencer said with a laugh.
Dave began to speak. “I admit. Natasha is indeed very outstanding and excellent. Among the few people I've met, no, among all the people I know so far, whether it's her figure, appearance, interpersonal skills, or abilities, she is the best!”
Listening to his praises, Spencer looked at him.
“I admit that the first time I saw her, I was truly dazzled!” Dave said.
“And then?”
“And then, that's all there is to it!” Dave said.
Spencer was looking at him.
“When I found out she was Kenneth's woman, I regarded her with nothing but admiration, do you understand?” Dave said, looking at him.
Spencer's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to him.
