Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Seeing how Abby always seemed to defend Evan, Spencer chose not to say anything further.

As they ate, the three of them chatted. Well, it was mostly Spencer and Abby talking, while Evan could barely get a word in. Occasionally, Abby would direct a comment his way, but her focus stayed on Spencer. Suddenly, Abby's phone rang.

Pulling it out, she glanced at the caller ID. "It's Victoria," she said to Spencer. "She's probably calling to check if you've arrived."

The smile on Spencer's face faded slightly. "I posted on Moments as soon as I landed. She should already know I arrived safely."

Abby shot Spencer a glare before answering the call. "Victoria, I just heard from Brother Spencer. He's arrived safely."

Right from the start, Abby assured Victoria of Spencer's safe arrival.

Victoria's voice came through, calm but laced with something unspoken. "Oh, I wasn't calling about that. I just thought you'd have some free time on the weekend, so I figured I'd call and chat." Despite her denial, Victoria's concern for Spencer was clear.
