Chapter 767 Natasha Seems To Know Everything
As her exquisite-looking eyes narrowed, Natasha looked down to eat in silence. Her lush eyelashes exuded an indescribable innocence as they folded downward.
Just as Thalia was about to say something, Natasha picked up her coffee and nodded. “Today's coffee is really good.”
Thalia was instantly distracted by the words as a gleeful smile descended upon her face. “Really? I knew you would like it!”
Natasha nodded with certainty. “I do. Did you make it?”
“Mmm-hmm.” Thalia nodded.
“Where did you get it from?”
“It's a secret,” Thalia replied with a mysterious grin, eliciting a smile from Natasha.
“That said, I'll give you a can since you like it.”
“I want two!”
“Why are you so greedy? They are really expensive.” Thalia knitted her brows.
“Obviously, one isn't enough. I'll finish it in two days,” Natasha replied.
Thalia stared at her for a few seconds before relenting. “Fine. I'll give you two cans since you have such good taste. However, you had better not get any greedier!”
With her coffee in hand, Natasha teased, “We'll see about that.”
“You...”
Faced with Natasha's smile, Thalia reciprocated with one of her own.
Listening to the delightful chatter in the background felt like torment to Spencer, for he was overwhelmed with guilt and complex emotions.
It was just as Kenneth had said. He was one of Natasha's few friends who, despite seldom seeing each other, were emotionally in sync to an extent greater than that of someone related by blood.
Now that such an idea had entered his mind, he was forced to admit that he couldn't bring himself to face her.
Eating with his head hung low, Spencer clearly looked troubled. Kenneth, who was sitting beside him, threw the former a glance as if he could read his mind.
“I'm done with my meal.” At that moment, Spencer suddenly got to his feet.
Thalia was stunned. The sight of the barely touched food on his plate elicited a furrow of her brows. “But you hardly ate anything.”
“You guys carry on.” Without another word, Spencer got up and left.
Staring at his leaving silhouette, Thalia let out a sigh.
It was then that Natasha stopped her. “Ignore him. Let's continue eating.”
“Somehow, this just feels weird,” Thalia remarked.
“Eat!” Natasha gave her a look without another word.
Right then, Kenneth heard his phone ring. After receiving it to check, he headed outside to take the call.
Even though Natasha was eating calmly, one could tell she was clearly troubled from the look in her eyes.
At that moment, the three children came downstairs and threw themselves at Natasha.
“Nat.”
Denise came up to Natasha in a cutesy manner. “Good morning, Nat.”
After giving her hair a tousle, Natasha remarked smilingly, “It's late, you lazy bum. Time to get something to eat.”
Denise broke into a sweet smile before settling down on the seat closest to Natasha. “I want to sit right next to you.”
Natasha responded with a chuckle.
At that moment, Anthony greeted, “Good morning, Nat.”
“Morning. Go ahead and grab a bite,” Natasha instructed.
Anthony and Benjamin subsequently took their seats.
It was then that Thalia complained, “Come on, all of you only have eyes for Nat. What about me? I'm nothing but a pitiful and lonely soul.”
The children obviously got the hint.
Denise leaned over and placed her head on Thalia's arm. “Thalia, you'll always be in our hearts. Not greeting you doesn't mean we don't love you, all right?”
No one could stay angry in the face of Denise's charm offensive.
Consequently, a vibrant smile descended upon Thalia's face. “You're the best, Denise. Muack, muack!”
“Muack, muack!” Denise reciprocated.
Their banter caused Anthony and Benjamin to furrow their brows.
“What in the world?” Anthony questioned.
Thalia rolled her eyes at him. “It's none of your business!”
“Exactly!” Denise seconded.
The unfolding scene in front of her brought a faint smile to Natasha's face.
Anthony didn't comment further as he frowned at the coffee in Natasha's hand. Without any hesitation, he walked straight to the kitchen and returned with two glasses of milk.
“Nat, drink some milk.”
“I'm having coffee.”
“Milk is more nutritious and will supplement your health,” Anthony insisted.
When Natasha gave him a look, the unsettled Anthony averted her gaze by reflex. Finally, he placed the glass of milk in front of her. “You have lost weight recently. Milk will help strengthen your body.”
Watching her coffee being taken away and replaced with milk, Natasha maintained a slight smile instead of protesting.
“Tsk-tsk, this filial scene is so touching!” Thalia commented by the side.
Anthony turned around and rolled his eyes at her before placing a glass of milk in front of the latter. “This is yours.”
Thalia stared blankly at the milk. “I have one too?”
“I don't want to be accused of playing favorites!” With that, Anthony took his seat.
Even though Thalia wasn't a fan of milk, she was still grateful for the thought.
“Come on, that's not what I meant. That said, I'm still happy that you're treating me fairly,” Thalia quipped.
“Drink up then,” Anthony suggested.
“Of course.” Thalia raised her glass immediately. Just before it touched her lips, she recalled something and turned toward Natasha. “Here, I got to enjoy this on your account.”
Natasha reciprocated with a toast before joining Thalia in downing their milk.
The addition of the three children livened up the atmosphere at the table.
As Anthony ate quietly after pushing Natasha's coffee away, his silence didn't go unnoticed.
Even though Natasha knew what he was doing, she didn't comment on it.
“By the way, have you seen their shooting room?” Natasha suddenly asked Thalia.
“I've heard about it but have yet to see it,” Thalia answered while eating.
Natasha subsequently turned her attention to Anthony and Benjamin. “Thalia is extremely proficient in this. Shouldn't you go to her for some advice?”
“We can handle—”
Benjamin stopped mid-sentence when he saw the look in Natasha's eyes.
After spending so many years together, he could easily read her mind.
He then pondered a moment before breaking into a smile. “That's right. We were already planning to invite Thalia over to help us.”
“What do you need help with?” Thalia asked.
“Everything! After promising that he would help us, Mr. Dave ignored us thereafter. Please help us take a look since the three of us are clueless about it,” Benjamin added.
Thalia threw Natasha a glance. “Shall we drop by later?”
Natasha hesitated momentarily before nodding. “Sure. However, I have something to discuss with Kenneth first. You guys can go ahead, and I'll catch up later.”
