As he was about to open up to her, he saw the instrument next to her and froze.
Seeing that, Thalia stared at him and urged, “Go on...”
Spencer instantly shifted his gaze toward her.
Thalia was really weak at that time, but because of the anxiety, she seemed rather energetic.
Instead of saying anything, Spencer placed his hand on her wrist and stared at her.
Thalia didn't realize what was going on because she was too keen on getting an answer from him. “Why are you staring at me? Continue what you were saying.”
Spencer let go of her wrist a while later, and his eyes turned cold right away.
“Spencer—”
“Forget about it. I was just joking,” Spencer suddenly said in an indifferent tone.
Thalia was entirely confounded. What happened? Why did everything change all of a sudden?
While staring at him blankly, Thalia asked, “What are you on about?”
“Are you hungry?” Spencer asked abruptly.
What? I am hungry, but at this moment, I want his answer more than I want food! ”I'm not hungry. I just want your answer...”
“There's no answer.”
There, the both of them stared at each other silently for a while.
After a few seconds, Thalia felt guilty. However, she was still keen on getting an answer from him, so she faked a cough.
Yet Spencer was unfazed, and he merely furrowed his brows.
“This is your last chance, Spencer. Are you really not going to tell me?” Thalia asked.
“I'll get you something to eat!” Spencer stood up and left.
Thalia panicked. While looking at his retreating figure, she uttered, “I'm dying! Why would I need food?”
Spencer turned back to look at her. “You seem energetic to me. Why would you be dying?”
His words rendered Thalia speechless.
Upon realizing it, she faked a few more coughs.
“Drop the act,” Spencer said. “You've exposed yourself.”
Thalia was at a loss for words.
Without saying anything further, Spencer left the room.
By the time Thalia regained her senses, Spencer had already gone out the door.
“Spencer...” she muttered, but he didn't bother turning back.
Meanwhile, Natasha and those three kids were in the corridor.
“Nat, do you think Thalia will be able to get the answer from him?” Anthony asked.
“I don't know,” Natasha answered.
Anthony raised his eyes and glanced at her in response.
Unexpectedly, Natasha yelled, “How would I possibly know if we haven't tried it yet?”
Upon hearing that, Anthony sized her up and said, “Nat, have you noticed? You've changed.”
“Have I become prettier?” Natasha raised her brows.
“Well... You're getting more narcissistic.”
“Looks like I've been more easy-going recently.” Natasha glanced at him.
Anthony was frightened when he heard that. “Nat, my mistake. I meant to say that you have more confidence in yourself nowadays.”
Natasha flashed a satisfied smirk at him in response.
“Nat, can we eavesdrop on them?” Denise asked.
“Eavesdrop on what?”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind them. Natasha and the kids turned around at once to see Spencer standing nearby.
“Spencer?” Denise mumbled.
