You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 700

Meanwhile, Spencer was tidying up some stuff in the laboratory when the door abruptly swung open.

“Spencer!” Thalia called out to him as she came running in.

Spencer froze upon seeing her appear behind him. “What are you doing here?”

Thalia's eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky as she reached out and hugged him tightly.

Confused and surprised, Spencer asked, “What's wrong?”

“Nothing's wrong. I just felt like hugging you all of a sudden,” Thalia replied.

Spencer frowned as he tried to push her off, only to have Thalia tighten her hug even further. “Don't push me away, or I will leave immediately.”

Sure enough, Spencer put his hands back down.

Thalia grinned gleefully when she noticed his response and nuzzled against his chest. As she listened to the strong beating of his heart, hers was filled with a sweet sensation like never before.

Just like that, Thalia continued hugging Spencer, who didn't dare move a muscle.

After what seemed like forever, Thalia looked up at him. “Spencer, tell me that you love me.”

Spencer was about to say no to her request, but the words were stuck in his throat when he saw the look of happiness in her eyes.

It was also possible that he didn't actually want to turn her request down at all.

Thalia pressed her chin against his chest as she continued, “Well? What are you waiting for? Say it!”

Spencer's lips twitched as he struggled to get the words out, but all he said in the end was, “All right, stop fooling around. This is a laboratory. Go get some rest in your room. I'll head over in a bit.”

“No! I'm not going anywhere unless you say it!” Thalia insisted.

Spencer lowered his gaze, muttering, “Thalia...”

Thalia shook her head stubbornly. “No! I'm not leaving until you say it!”

Spencer let out a helpless sigh as he scooped her into his arms and carried her like a princess.

Thalia instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

“What are you doing?”

“I'm carrying you back to your room so you can get some rest!”

“Spencer! Why won't you just tell me that you love me? Are you planning on waiting until my final moments or something?” Thalia questioned in frustration.

As Spencer remained silent, Thalia knew she had no choice but to give up.

“Okay, fine, I won't force you to say it!” she exclaimed when he started walking out of the laboratory.

Spencer paused in his tracks when he heard that. He then met her gaze.

“I'll go as soon as you answer my question,” Thalia continued.

“What is it?” Spencer asked.

“Have you been asking Natasha about me back then?” Natasha asked.

Spencer frowned instantly. “Did she tell you that?”

“Just answer my question, Spencer. Did you ask her about me?” Thalia pressed on.

Spencer pursed his lips. “I only did that because—”

“You don't need to explain your reasons. I just want to know if you actually did it.”

“Yes, I did.”

Thalia looked into his eyes and asked with a grin, “Why?”

Spencer lowered his gaze as he whispered, “You said I would only have to answer one question. That's the second question you've asked me.”

Thalia was about to protest when he put her down.

“I'll go right away if you answer me this!” she exclaimed.

“The deal was to only answer one question,” Spencer reminded her.

“Spencer!”

“Would you prefer if I carried you back instead?”

Thalia knew that pressuring Spencer too much would only do her more harm than good, so she had no choice but to back off for the time being.
