You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 906

Thalia gaped at him in disbelief. “Do you even know what you're saying, Spencer? It has nothing to do with me, you said? How could it possibly have nothing to do with me? You did it for my sake. Logically speaking, it's impossible for me to stay out of it!”

Spencer lowered his gaze, his face still devoid of emotion. “I once said I would protect and take care of you forever. That was my promise to you. I'm merely fulfilling my vow. You really don't need to make so many excuses for yourself.”

Thalia was promptly stunned.

It's fine even if he'd said that he did it to keep me alive. But why did he say such a thing now?

She looked at him with her eyebrows furrowed slightly. “What do you mean by that, Spencer?”

“It means exactly what you think it does,” Spencer replied.

Thalia stared at him blankly, her eyes carrying a hint of contempt and mockery. “Are you saying everything you've done for me is because of a promise you made when we were young? Is your treatment of me just out of a sense of duty and commitment?” Thalia asked, enunciating each word.

Pursing his lips, Spencer remained silent.

Thalia suddenly laughed, her voice laced with derision and self-deprecation. “I thought you had feelings for me. But it now seems that I was reading too much into things.”

Spencer's hands that hung by the sides of his body clenched into fists.

After waiting for a moment without any rebuttal from him, Thalia knew that she had indeed been deriding herself.

“It looks like I've forced you into all of this. Don't worry, for I won't do so anymore. And you don't need to fulfill any d*mn responsibilities or obligations because of a promise you made when we were young, Spencer. I don't need it. Our relationship was nothing more than a chance encounter between strangers anyway. If I hadn't pestered you, we wouldn't have been acquainted for so long... From now on, let's pretend none of this ever happened. I won't bother you again!” With that, Thalia took one last look at him before turning around and walking away.

When Thalia stepped out, Denise was standing right at the door. She did not arrive all that early and had only heard the latter part of the argument.

At the sight of her coming out, Denise frowned. “Thalia.”

However, Thalia did not say a word, leaving with brisk steps.

Following that, Denise shifted her gaze to Spencer. He stood rooted to the spot, clenching his hands at his sides so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.

Denise looked at him. “You've truly hurt Thalia, Spencer.” After saying that, she likewise whirled around and sprinted in the direction where Thalia left.

Only when everyone had left did Spencer gradually unclench his fists.

His palms were all marred by the indents of his nails digging into the flesh.

By the time Denise raced out, Thalia was already nowhere to be found.

She darted her eyes around, but nothing was in sight.

At that precise moment, Benjamin happened to come out of the house. Seeing that she was seemingly searching for something in the yard, he walked over. “What are you looking for, Denise?”

Hearing his voice, Denise turned around. “Quick, come help me, Ben.”

“What's wrong?”

With a sigh, Denise said, “I don't even know where to begin. All I know is that Spencer and Thalia just had a fight. Thalia stormed out, and I can't find her anywhere now.”

At her words, Benjamin's brows furrowed. “They fought again?”

“Yeah!”

“It's okay. All couples fight. It's perfectly normal,” Benjamin assured.
