Take Me Away

Chapter 21 A Present For Wayne

"Grandpa's birthday is coming?" Fiona asked with a surprised frown. "When?"

"Yes. It's next Wednesday." Spencer answered, jamming his hands into his pockets. "We were supposed to have a party for his eightieth birthday but considering his health, my father and I have decided to invite some relatives and friends to our house for dinner."

Fiona nodded, "Oh, I see. But it's still several days away. I'll pick up his gift myself. I have to go now."

"Fiona!" Spencer bellowed. "I said you are not allowed to leave today!"

"Spencer, please don't make a fuss out of nothing." Fiona looked at him defiantly.

"What did you say?" He pointed at the door with his right hand. "Fiona, if you have the guts to leave, go ahead and see if you can get out of the door without my permission!"

"What the hell is your problem?" she asked, biting her lips.

"I told you we have to buy a gift for Grandpa today. The gift must be from both of us. Grandpa plans to introduce you to everyone on his birthday! Do you understand?"

There was a bitter smile on Fiona's face. She was rigid for a while before she let out a breath and said gently, "Let's go and buy the gift."

"Don't pull a long face. I hate this arrangement more than you do," Spencer remarked laughing sarcastically.

Then he took out his phone and demanded, "Johnson, come to the Four Seasons Scenery in twenty minutes."

Fiona also pulled out her phone to send a message to Ryan. "Ryan, I'm sorry. Something urgent has come up. I'll make it up to you next time."

In the cool interiors of the ice cream shop near the main gate of D University, Ryan was waiting for her after he had invited her. When he had received the text from Fiona saying she would come, he had almost jumped up excitedly. Even though he detested waiting for someone, it was worth it for Fiona.

Now a new message popped up on his phone. He panicked and swiped on it to unlock the screen with a bright smile on his face. But after he read the message, he was sad.

"It's okay.

but remember to treat me next time!" Ryan felt that his fingers had run out of strength.

Fiona's phone rang just as she just walked out of the house.

She glanced at it, smiled but didn't reply.

Spencer raised his eyebrows and stole a glance at her phone screen but he was unable to see anything.

There was a Hummer parked at the community entrance. Since it had an ordinary license plate, Fiona thought that it might not be Spencer's car.

"Sir!" Johnson stepped out of the Hummer and saluted to Spencer.

"Hmm." Spencer nodded and walked over. "You can go back. I'll drive by myself."

"Yes, sir!"

Fiona followed him to greet Johnson and then she turned to Spencer. "Is this your car?"
