Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597

As he was about to open up to her, he saw the instrument next to her and froze.

Seeing that, Thalia stared at him and urged, “Go on...”

Spencer instantly shifted his gaze toward her.

Thalia was really weak at that time, but because of the anxiety, she seemed rather energetic.

Instead of saying anything, Spencer placed his hand on her wrist and stared at her.

Thalia didn't realize what was going on because she was too keen on getting an answer from him. “Why are you staring at me? Continue what you were saying.”

Spencer let go of her wrist a while later, and his eyes turned cold right away.

“Spencer—”

“Forget about it. I was just joking,” Spencer suddenly said in an indifferent tone.

Thalia was entirely confounded. What happened? Why did everything change all of a sudden?

While staring at him blankly, Thalia asked, “What are you on about?”

“Are you hungry?” Spencer asked abruptly.

What? I am hungry, but at this moment, I want his answer more than I want food! ”I'm not hungry. I just want your answer...”

“There's no answer.”

There, the both of them stared at each other silently for a while.

After a few seconds, Thalia felt guilty. However, she was still keen on getting an answer from him, so she faked a cough.

Yet Spencer was unfazed, and he merely furrowed his brows.

“This is your last chance, Spencer. Are you really not going to tell me?” Thalia asked.

“I'll get you something to eat!” Spencer stood up and left.

Thalia panicked. While looking at his retreating figure, she uttered, “I'm dying! Why would I need food?”

Spencer turned back to look at her. “You seem energetic to me. Why would you be dying?”

His words rendered Thalia speechless.

Upon realizing it, she faked a few more coughs.

“Drop the act,” Spencer said. “You've exposed yourself.”

Thalia was at a loss for words.

Without saying anything further, Spencer left the room.

By the time Thalia regained her senses, Spencer had already gone out the door.

“Spencer...” she muttered, but he didn't bother turning back.

Meanwhile, Natasha and those three kids were in the corridor.

“Nat, do you think Thalia will be able to get the answer from him?” Anthony asked.

“I don't know,” Natasha answered.

Anthony raised his eyes and glanced at her in response.

Unexpectedly, Natasha yelled, “How would I possibly know if we haven't tried it yet?”

Upon hearing that, Anthony sized her up and said, “Nat, have you noticed? You've changed.”

“Have I become prettier?” Natasha raised her brows.

“Well... You're getting more narcissistic.”

“Looks like I've been more easy-going recently.” Natasha glanced at him.

Anthony was frightened when he heard that. “Nat, my mistake. I meant to say that you have more confidence in yourself nowadays.”

Natasha flashed a satisfied smirk at him in response.

“Nat, can we eavesdrop on them?” Denise asked.

“Eavesdrop on what?”

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind them. Natasha and the kids turned around at once to see Spencer standing nearby.

“Spencer?” Denise mumbled.

Natasha noticed the look on Spencer's face and knew that the talk did not go well.

Before she could say anything, Spencer looked at her and asked, “It was your idea, wasn't it?”

Natasha nodded because she wasn't planning on lying. “Yes.”

“You can't just make jokes like that!” Spencer fumed.

“I didn't!” Natasha protested before flashing him a teasing look. “I only told you to check on her. I didn't say anything else.”

“You're right, but your tone scared me!”

“If you care about someone, why do you need to pretend otherwise?”

“You wouldn't understand!” Spencer glared at Natasha, but he couldn't find the right words to reprimand her. Instead, he said, “I don't want something like that to happen again.”

Natasha wasn't angry as she said, “Why would I do it again?”

Spencer went down the stairs without responding.

Once he left, the kids immediately rushed into the room. By the time Natasha came back to her senses, the kids were already nowhere to be seen.

Natasha looked toward Thalia's room and went over as well.

The kids crowded around Thalia when they got into the room.

“Thalia, how did it go? Did you get an answer?” Denise asked.

Thalia shook her head helplessly.

“Why?”

“Spencer is a renowned miracle doctor. It won't be easy to trick him,” Anthony said.

Benjamin nodded in agreement. “Exactly. It worked at first because he was panicking. The longer it goes, the easier he's going to see right through it.”

Denise frowned as she listened to their analysis.

Just then, Natasha walked in and asked, “You guys talked for quite a while, no? Didn't you at least get some information out of him?”

“Well... I got something,” Thalia answered.

“What is it?” Natasha asked.

The kids were also looking at Thalia curiously.

After giving it some thought, Thalia said, “He said he likes me...”

The kids widened their eyes when they heard that.

“He admitted it?” Anthony asked.

“Did he really say that?” Benjamin questioned.

“He confessed to you?” Denise grew excited. Why wasn't I here to witness it?

Thalia noticed how happy they were, but she remained silent.

“Isn't that what you've been wanting to know?” Natasha asked.

Thalia glanced at Natasha and answered, “I'm more eager to find out why he keeps rejecting me and avoiding me. Right when he was about to tell me, he suddenly stopped. He told me he was just joking!”

Natasha smiled. “Is it because he found out you were lying to him?”

Thalia nodded.

“That's right. Spencer is good at coming up with excuses.” Natasha laughed.

Thalia said nothing in response.

Seeing how disappointed Thalia was, Natasha went up to her and asked, “Do you think he was telling the truth, or do you think he was joking?”

“I think he was telling the truth,” Thalia said firmly.

“Since you already have the answer, what are you still afraid of? Thalia, you can take your time in figuring out the reason. Now that you know how he feels, you have the reason and courage to carry on.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia nodded. There was also a look of determination in her eyes.

At the thought of something, Natasha added, “But I have a reminder for you.”

“What is it?” Thalia asked.

“We know Spencer is surely into you, but there must be a reason why he didn't want to say it prior to this. Perhaps he's afraid of hurting you. Therefore, the ending to this could be brutal. Have you thought about that?”

Thalia suddenly realized how straightforward Natasha was when she looked at her. No matter what Natasha does, she never provides lengthy explanations. Others can always understand her instantly.

“I don't think there's anything more brutal than him avoiding me. No matter what, I'm going to find out what's going on. Even if I die, I want to die in peace!” Thalia nodded at Natasha.
