Anthony understood her.
Even if Natasha didn't say it, he would still understand.
However, if she didn't tell him that, Anthony would definitely step forward. Yet, he couldn't do that anymore because she had told him not to.
Looking at Natasha, Anthony nodded and said, “I understand, Nat. Don't worry. I won't have any disputes with Great-grandpa even if he really blames you.”
Upon hearing those words, Natasha finally relaxed, looking at him with a slight smile. “I know you're a smart kid. You understand everything.”
“But Nat, it's not your fault...” Anthony said. He still didn't want Natasha to be mired in self-blame. “The ones who are wrong are the bad guys, not you, so you shouldn't carry this burden on your own.”
“I understand!” Natasha nodded. “The wrongdoers are indeed the bad people, but your daddy came for me. This fact cannot be denied. If it weren't for me, he might still be living a prosperous life in Glenport City and wouldn't have ended up like this. Anthony, I know I'm not in the wrong, but in my heart, I will always know what happened. I can't deceive myself.”
“I just don't want you to blame yourself!”
Natasha smiled at him. “Don't worry. I won't. Your daddy loves me, and I will always understand,” she said.
Anthony believed that Natasha was aware of everything.
However, she needed time to heal.
With that in mind, he lowered his gaze and pursed his lips.
“All right. You should rest a bit too. The journey is long. Anything else can wait until tomorrow!” Natasha said to him in a soft voice.
Anthony nodded. “Okay. You should also rest, Nat.”
“Okay!” Natasha nodded. “I'll just zone out a bit more before I go to sleep!”
And so, without uttering another word, Anthony simply closed his eyes to rest.
He wasn't asleep. Instead, he was fully attuned to every move Natasha made.
He knew, even after closing his eyes for a long time, Natasha had no intention of sleeping.
But he also knew that as they were about to return and face a new wave of sorrow, their hearts were indeed heavy. They all needed to mentally prepare themselves.
With that thought in mind, Anthony decided not to disturb her any further, allowing her some peace and quiet.
Just like that, the airplane flew the entire day and night.
Although it seemed like a long time, it went by pretty quickly.
Essentially, the time was spent resting and chatting.
The plane landed at eight o'clock the following morning.
When they emerged from the cabin, the sun had already risen, and the sky appeared vast and cloudless.
Thalia looked up at the sky and said, “It's a beautiful day today!”
Spencer also looked on, nodding his head.
Just then, Denise came out from the inside. As she passed by Thalia, she didn't say a word and simply walked past her.
Seeing that, Thalia frowned. Is she still angry?
She looked up at Spencer. “Why would she be upset when I'm not even mad?” At that moment, Thalia seemed just like a wronged child pleading her case.
However, Spencer replied, “When kids quarrel, isn't it necessary for one to speak first to make amends?”
“I'm certainly not going to speak first!” Thalia said, pouting. But then she realized something was off and looked up at him. “What do you mean by kids? I'm not a child!”
Spencer couldn't help but laugh. “If you aren't a child, why don't you speak up?”
Caught off guard by his question, Thalia was at a loss for words for a moment.
“Only children need to be coddled!” Spencer added another sentence.
