Chapter 1428

Before Hertha sought him out, Spencer had always thought Hertha had special feelings for him.

Otherwise, why would she care so much about saving him a few bucks?

They say when a woman is penny-pinching for a man, it’s because she’s got visions of white picket fences and kids playing in the yard-casting every penny towards a future together.

It had been ages since he’d found a woman he could just relax with.
