Chapter 2145: Uncontrollable
Mrs. Brightwood held a long paper bag filled with information about houses she had scouted today. She had been in a good mood, but now her chest felt tight, making it hard to breathe, and she couldn't muste a smile. Standing there for a while made her legs numb, and the waiting was anxiety-inducing.
On the way home, Spencer, who was injured, drove the car. His waist constantly ached with a pulling pain. Andrew had insisted on driving him, but Spencer refused; he wanted to take Summer home himself. He didn't want to miss a single moment with Summer. Although he had no official status yet, just seeing her made him happy.
Summer sat in the passenger seat as the car moved at a moderate speed. She glanced slightly out of the window, her mind replaying scenes from today's kiss scene shoot. Various scenes flashed through her mind... Her heart started racing again, that tingling sensation making her temporarily forget about Rupert Brightwood.
Spencer drove silently, and Summer didn't break the silence either. Until-his hand unconsciously reached over and held hers. Summer was slightly startled and turned to look at his profile. She didn't instinctively pull away; it seemed like she was slow to react for a few seconds. Their palms intertwined, and Spencer looked at her calmly and gently, holding her hand tighter.
The car moved steadily forward, and time seemed to slow down. Spencer still didn't speak; he just focused on driving seriously ahead. Summer didn't pull away either. After about a minute, she squinted her eyes and quietly withdrew her hand from his grasp. It was as if she had sobered up, realizing her own identity and feeling that this was inappropriate.
Spencer's heart, which had just been filled, suddenly felt empty again. The air in the car became suffocating... Especially for Spencer, whose mind was filled with frustration and various thoughts. When he first held her hand, she didn't immediately pull away; what was she thinking at that moment? What change in her heart led her to finally pull away? She had a boyfriend and an engagement, but she let him hold her hand for almost a minute... Did that mean he had a small place in her heart too? Spencer searched for reasons to make himself feel better.

wasn't as focused on driving. At an intersection with traffic lights ahead, he was the first car and sped through a red light! "Red light!"

Spencer tried to slow down and was startled too. Fortunately, there was no accident, but a fine was inevitable. Knowing he had been distracted, Summer turned to him and said, "Focus when you're driving; don't play with lives." "I'm sorry..." Spencer apologized sincerely; he didn't want to scare her.
"Don't apologize to me," Summer said warmly with a smile as she looked away. "I just care about everyone's safety; what if there were pedestrians?" "I understand," he replied like a child who had done something wrong, reflecting on his actions and becoming more serious.
Since meeting Summer, Spencer had indeed changed a lot. They were five minutes away from their community.
At this moment at Summer's house entrance, Mr. Brightwood finally lost patience as dusk fell. "Let's go back; what if she stays at the set tonight? "She shouldn't," Mrs. Brightwood insisted stubbornly, holding custard apples and the bag from the sales office filled with today's scouted materials. She was tired physically and mentally but wanted to wait longer.
Without seeing her daughter-in-law tonight, she wouldn't be able to sleep; some matters needed to be settled tonight.
