Otherwise, we’ll just slow each other down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned pointedly to Aurora. \"Aurora, you should go with Spencer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy’s face immediately stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I’ll go with her!\" Betsy said quickly, grabbing Aurora’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I’ll go too!\" Dana added nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Mia could respond, Spencer said firmly, \"I agree with Mia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep voice carried through the air, and it echoed strangely because at the exact same time, Dana and Betsy had also blurted, \"No!\" and \"I’ll go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mall’s ambient noise seemed to hush for a second, leaving behind an awkward silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy turned toward Aurora with tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora...please don’t ignore me,\" she said, her voice trembling. \"I’m truly sorry... I didn’t mean to hurt you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep inside, Betsy’s thoughts were far less pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ugh. This btch thinks she’s better than me just because Spencer is treating her like some princess now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora hesitated, her fingers tightening slightly at her side. Her eyes flickered to Spencer instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer caught the look instantly. His eyes hardened as he turned toward Luca and said coldly, \"Control your girlfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, softer, to Aurora, he said, \"I have something important to discuss with you. Come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora hesitated just for a second before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer immediately reached out, lightly guiding her by the small of her back as they walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy tried to step forward, but Luca grabbed her arm tightly and muttered, \"Not now. Don’t ruin everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy bit her lip so hard it turned white, glaring daggers at Mia, who just smiled innocently like she had nothing to do with any of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Aurora’s not even that cold to Spencer anymore... maybe she actually likes him now. I should help them’ Mia thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia clapped her hands again and beamed at the remaining group. \"Alright! Who’s ready to shop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer and Aurora were alone now, weaving through the crowd toward the elevators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mall music thrummed gently around them, but there was a strange sort of bubble around the two of them—private, warm, charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they waited for the escalator, Spencer suddenly reached out and boldly took Aurora’s hand into his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora stiffened immediately. \"What are you doing?\" she hissed, jerking slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer squeezed her hand gently, not letting go. His voice was low, almost vulnerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a trauma and fear of getting lost. I need to hold on to someone’s hand to prevent myself from getting into a panic attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora: \"...\" Wow! What an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was speechless at Spencer’s shamelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared at him, but Spencer just stared back at her, steady and unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep brown eyes were shamelessly, softly seductive. Not overly intense, not pushy—but a kind of slow pull, like gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora tried to stay mad... she really did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since she was standing one step above him, her gaze accidentally dropped—and what she saw made her heart nearly stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the way Spencer’s simple black T-shirt clung to him... she could see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint, unmistakable outline of his well-defined abs and broad chest muscles was visible through the thin fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately snapped her gaze back up, her ears burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Spencer caught it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked lazily, the corner of his lips lifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want,\" he murmured, voice low and teasing, \"I could book a changing room upstairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked at him, feeling her face start to heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer leaned a little closer, lowering his voice even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can admire me properly then,\" he whispered. \"Touch too, if you want. I won’t even ask for any compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora clenched her fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... compensation?\" she asked before she could stop herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer grinned wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A label,\" he said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora scowled. \"What label?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze softened, almost unbearably tender now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boyfriend,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora made a strangled noise in her throat and immediately turned her face away, pretending to admire the elevator panel like it was the most interesting thing in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Spencer chuckled, the sound low and husky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she would ask,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you truly be thrown out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer, wanting her sympathy, blinked, and his heart skipped a beat. Was she worried about him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still the sweet Aurora he knew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sad expression, he said softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be. But I can’t give up on you. I just love you too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora rolled her eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We met just 2 weeks ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or maybe not,\" Spencer said with certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say you fell in love at first sight.\" Aurora joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer paused, and the memories of childhood rushed to his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An 8-year-old red-haired girl walked up in front of a luxurious villa and looked at the villa with a determined gaze. Then she rang the bell and waited for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door of the villa opened, and a boy of similar age rushed out. His soft black hair was styled neatly, and his blue eyes were filled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the white t-shirt and black pants styled with black suspenders and bow tie, he looked like a prince charming. The black jacket in his left hand dangled as he reached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy looked at the red-haired girl and asked with ragged breathing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here, Aurora? It is cold here! I asked you to stay indoors. You get sick easily, dummy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he draped the black jacket around Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little Aurora raised her head and said with a serious expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spencer, let’s run away. My parents will never agree to let me get married to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears would appear in her eyes as she told her grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Spencer panicked and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened? Why wouldn’t they agree? And don’t cry. Do you want chocolate? Or games? As long as you don’t cry, I will give you everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want money.\" Little Aurora said while sniffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Spencer didn’t hesitate and took out all the money he had. It was $150. He stuffed it in her hand and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, here, now don’t cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Aurora took the money, her tears stopped at once. Yet she stared at him with shimmering eyes and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want Swiss chocolate too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. Wait here.\" Little Spencer said and ran toward the villa\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Spencer ran into the house like a boy on a mission, his small feet thudding against the polished wooden floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dashed to the kitchen, rummaging through cabinets until he found the precious treasure: a shiny box of imported Swiss chocolates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching it tightly against his chest, he raced back outside, nearly tripping over the doorstep in his hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora was still standing there, looking up at the cloudy sky, her red hair like a bright flame against the gray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here!\" Spencer said, shoving the box into her arms with a wide, earnest smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have chocolate, money, and my jacket. So now you have everything! You don’t need to cry anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Aurora sniffled again, then gave him a shaky, small smile — the kind that made Spencer’s heart feel weird and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Spencer,\" she said quietly. \"I will keep it as a food ration for our journey to a new country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell me what happened? Why are you talking about running away? \" Spencer asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Aurora’s eyes would shimmer with tears, but she stopped herself and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My father...I told him that I wanted to get married to you. And he laughed, saying your family won’t accept me, and you won’t marry me in the future either! So I want to get married right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More tears would stream down Aurora’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer panicked, his young mind racing for solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated seeing Aurora cry. It made his chest hurt in a way he didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking too much, he blurted, \"Then let’s get married right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked up at him, surprised. \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah!\" Spencer nodded fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t need anyone’s permission. You’re my favorite person! I’ll marry you even if I have to fight the whole world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed her tiny hand with both of his and looked dead serious. \"From now on, you’re my wife!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes widened, and a slow, bright smile broke across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the kind of smile that could light up the gloomiest day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\" she said happily, clutching the box of chocolates and the jacket closer to her chest like they were sacred treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spencer hesitated for a second, then leaned down and kissed the back of Aurora’s hand, just like he’d seen princes do in the cartoons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora gasped, her cheeks turning bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it’s official,\" Spencer said solemnly. \"You’re mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you’re mine,\" Aurora declared, equally serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, they just stood there, smiling shyly at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a loud voice broke the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spencer! Dinner time!\" a woman called from inside the house.\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","7e38056fa0896e480c684174a7a1440215c2934a285c1811d4779e8a13618aef","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-188","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-186",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
