You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 699

Oblivious to what Natasha was implying, Thalia nodded after giving it some thought. “That was my original plan. Why are you in such a hurry, though? Don't you want them to stay with you a little while longer?”

Natasha froze as she realized she was probably rushing things a little. Not wanting Thalia to get suspicious, she said in the calmest tone possible, “Their growth matters more to me than anything else. Besides, they'll miss out on the training if we send them over any later, right?”

Thalia stroked her chin. “Fair enough. If they join right now, they'll probably be considered older than the others.”

Natasha looked her in the eye as she said, “Please promise me that you'll take good care of them, Thalia.”

Thalia let out a chuckle. “I'd promise you that if I could survive, but—”

Natasha cut her off, “You'll definitely survive. I know you will.”

“All right, then. I have no reason to be pessimistic if you're that optimistic about it. We'll see how things go,” Thalia replied after a brief pause.

Natasha breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Thalia had agreed to it without getting suspicious. “You don't plan on leaving anymore?”

Thalia shook her head. “Spencer wants me to stay with him.”

“Does that mean you two are on good terms now?” Natasha asked.

Thalia nodded with a smile. “I suppose you could say that. Back then, I didn't want him to see me suffer from intense pain. Now, I can't help but be a little selfish. Even if I don't make it somehow, I'd at least be able to spend my final moments with the person I love, so my life would be complete anyway.”

“You'll definitely get what you wish for. May the love you share today grow stronger as you grow old together,” Natasha reassured her.

“Thanks!” Thalia said with a smile.

“All right; you should get some rest. I'll be taking my leave now,” Natasha said as she got up and prepared to head out.

Thalia stepped forward before quickly grabbing hold of her arm. “Wait up, Nat!”

Natasha had barely socialized in her years of investigating the cause of her father's death, so she didn't make any friends, especially female ones. As such, Thalia grabbing her by the arm all of a sudden caught her completely off guard, causing her to freeze up as an inexplicable sensation formed deep inside her heart.

“What's wrong?” Thalia asked when she saw Natasha's strange reaction.

After taking a moment to snap out of her dazed state, Natasha shook her head and said, “N-Nothing. What is it?”

Thalia stared at her in silence for a few seconds before asking, “You and Spencer are friends, right? Could you tell me what happened to him over the years? I want to know more about him.”

“It's true that we were friends, but we didn't see each other that often. We mainly kept in touch via phone calls and texts,” Natasha replied.

Thalia frowned after hearing that. “Isn't that the same as my situation, then?”

Natasha nodded. “More or less.”

Thalia let out a sigh. “All right, then. I was hoping you would know some interesting things about him.”

“I may not have met him often, but I have heard him mention someone's name a lot,” Natasha said when she noticed how disappointed Thalia looked.

Thalia's eyes lit up the moment she heard that. “Whose?”

“Yours.”

Noticing that Thalia was frozen in shock, Natasha continued, “That was how I first heard about you. Although he had been avoiding you all this while, he had been asking me about you throughout these years. That's why you were able to find me and not get blocked.”
