Chapter 2258

“Nah, I want to go home,” Lulu said and lowered her head, not wanting Nicole to witness her sorrow.

She initially had the impulse to get out of the car and question Spencer, but ultimately, she did not have the courage and gave up on the idea.

Her heart was in turmoil now. She did not know what to do, and all she wanted to do was leave.

“Nicole, I want to go home.”

Nicole wanted to persuade her again, but upon hearing Lulu choking up, she could only pat her shoulder in consolation and then get out of the car.

Watching the car drive away, Nicole’s eyes dimmed as she strode toward Spencer and Icyln.

“Spencer, what’s going on here?” Nicole put on a look of surprise as she watched the two of them.

“Icyln almost fell over just now,” Spencer pushed Icyln aside a bit and helped her regain her balance.

Seeing Spencer’s expression of relief, a glimmer of coldness flashed in Nicole’s eyes.

“Is she here as a guest?” Nicole looked at Icyln and asked.

“Oh, we just finished our rehearsal and had dinner together with everyone. Everyone was in high spirits and had a few drinks. Icyln was worried about me, so she insisted on sending me back,” Spencer explained in a somewhat helpless tone of voice.

He had a little alcohol in him and had no other issues except for driving. Moreover, there was no reason as to why he would need another woman to accompany him.

“I see,” Nicole nodded. “Then let’s head inside together, Spencer. It’s late, Icyln, you should go home and get some sleep.”

Icyln’s face turned pale, and she could only force a smile and say, “Oh, well, since I’m here, I thought I should go in and see Mr. and Mrs. Riddle.”

“There’s no need forthat. My parents have already gone to bed.” Nicole said, rebuffing her once more.

Icyln bit her lip, refusing to back down. “That wouldn’t be very nice of me, don’t you think?”

“It’s fine, my parents wouldn’t mind. Lulu drove me back moments ago, and she didn’t go in either,”

Nicole said.

“Lulu!” Spencer’s voice heightened. “Where is she?”

“She just left.” Nicole darted him a sideways glance. ‘And yes…it’s because of you.’

It was then that Spencer came to a realization. “You mean in the cab just now?”

‘So, Lulu saw me, but she just left without getting out of the car. Is she angry?’ he wondered.

Upon thinking that Lulu might have gotten upset after misunderstanding his actions, Spencer’s expression changed. “Nicole, tell Mom and Dad that I have something to do, and that I’m heading out.”

After saying that, Spencer hurriedly chased after Lulu.

“Spencer!” Icyln anxiously called out as she saw Spencer jetting off in a hurry.

Unfortunately, Spencer was in no mood to bother about her at the moment. All he could think about was if Lulu had misunderstood them.

‘Is she angry? Is she hurt?’

Nicole rolled her eyes. ‘Now you’re anxious? Why didn’t you pay more attention just now?’

Returning her gaze, Nicole looked at the culprit and said,” Icyln, do you need someone to send you off?”

Though she had asked, she had no intention of sending her off, and that the statement in question was essentially an invitation for her to leave.

“It’s okay, I can manage,” Icyln replied, feigning meekness though she was infuriated deep down.

“Alright, be careful on your way,” Nicole said as she walked into her house, leaving Icyln standing there, feeling somewhat lost.

Her face turned pale as she did not expect things to turn out this way.

She wanted to go home with Spencer so that she could pay a visit to his parents. But now, she did not even get to enter their gates and was left all alone outside.
