After thinking for a long time, Natasha said, “Thalia, I think you shouldn't jump to conclusions regarding some matters.”
Thalia looked at the nearby Spencer with gleaming eyes. She replied half-heartedly after hearing Natasha's words, “What matters?”
“It's...” Natasha pondered on how she should remind Thalia.
Then, she recalled Kenneth's “beastlike” reaction to prove himself after she casually asked him a question.
Spencer is also a regular guy, so how could he bear to let his lover misunderstand him in this manner?
At that thought, Natasha finally let go of the concerns troubling her mind. Forget it. I'll let Thalia continue to misunderstand Spencer. Let's hope Spencer also loses control of himself and proves his innocence.
She curled her lips with that thought in her mind. “It's nothing. I just want to tell you that you know him better than me. You should be familiar with his character. He'll never admit liking you unless the situation is desperate. Perhaps his difficulty is also not easily communicable, so you must be mentally prepared.”
At that point, Thalia suddenly jerked her head around and gazed at Natasha with a captivating smile. “I've already braced myself to engage in a long-term battle. Besides, he promised never to push me away again, no matter what. Therefore, I'm not worried anymore, regardless of the reason. Nothing is more important than him staying by my side.”
Natasha arched her brows lazily. “He made that promise?”
“Yes.” Thalia nodded cheerfully.
“Spencer is a man of his word. It seems like you're not far away from winning his affection.”
Natasha's words significantly boosted Thalia's confidence. “You think so too?”
“Yes.” Natasha bobbed her head.
“I think so, too,” Thalia chirped. It was apparent she was genuinely feeling happy.
Looking at her, Natasha flashed a faint smile as well. “All right, then. I won't be interrupting you from gazing at him anymore. I'm going back to get some rest.”
Sensing Natasha was about to leave, Thalia immediately chased after Natasha and grabbed her arms again. “I actually have some things to talk to you about.”
Seemingly gotten used to Thalia wrapping her arms around hers, Natasha gazed at Thalia. “What's the matter?”
“Let's go in there and order some drinks while we chat. What do you think?” Thalia asked.
“Aren't you going to talk to Spencer?” Natasha inquired.
“Dealing with him requires a lot of patience and time, much like running a marathon instead of a sprint. Therefore, there's no hurry to do that. I can take it slow. For now, your matter takes priority,” Thalia said.
Hearing that, Natasha knitted her brows. “What about my matter?”
“Let's go in and talk.” Thalia linked her arms around Natasha's while leading the latter inward.
A hint of peculiarity flashed across Natasha's eyes as she gazed down at their intertwined arms.
She had never anticipated she would one day engage in such an intimate interaction with Thalia.
Nevertheless, she wasn't repulsed by the change in their relationship's paradigm.
Looking at Thalia, Natasha slightly curled her lips.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Thalia looked at Natasha. “Do you want wine or coffee? Let's have a drink, shall we?”
“I'll opt for coffee,” Natasha replied.
Thalia said to the housekeeper, “Two glasses of coffee.”
The housekeeper nodded before taking her leave.
Thalia remarked, “I thought you would want to drink some alcohol.”
“Someone warned me not to lead you astray.”
A strange look flitted across Thalia's eyes. “Are you talking about Spencer?”
Natasha slightly arched her brows, keeping quiet without refuting Thalia's guess.
“Did he really say that?” Thalia appeared to be delighted.
“Yes!” Natasha nodded.
Thalia's grin widened. “I didn't expect him to care so much about me!”
