Spencer smiled and gently patted Abby's head again. "Thank you, Abby. Matters of the heart are something only you can handle."

The second pat on Abby's head felt far too intimate for Evan's liking. A burning jealousy stirred in his chest as he watched. In that moment, Evan wanted nothing more than to chop off Spencer's hand and throw it to the dogs. He had never touched Abby's head before-not even once.

The most he'd ever done was hold her hand.

Back when Abby had been wearing the guise of Fox, they had shared countless moments of tension, arguments, and even close encounters. But nothing that crossed the boundary into intimacy.

Now, watching Spencer's casual touch, Evan couldn't help but seethe with envy. Yet, he kept his emotions in check. He wasn't reckless enough to push Spencer away-not yet.

After all, Spencer's mother and Mrs. Du were lifelong friends, a bond that predated Evan's connection to Abby. Evan knew he wasn't in a position to act impulsively.

Instead, he played it cool. Silently, he picked up Spencer's suitcase and trailed behind the two of them, letting them enjoy their reunion. He didn't say a word, choosing to remain thoughtful and unintrusive as they walked.

Before long, Abby led the two men into a nearby fast food restaurant. Once they were seated, Evan rolled Spencer's suitcase to his side, signaling that he should take care of it himself.
