This was the first time Spencer had spoken so much to her.
In Thalia's heart, there was satisfaction, but also a slight sense of unreality.
Hence, she looked at Spencer, and asked uncertainly, “Are you really serious?”
Seeing her like this, Spencer asked her in return, “Was I not clear enough? No, I will never leave you again!”
“Well, you're the one who said this!”
“I swear to the heavens...”
Just as he was about to say something, Thalia reached out and covered his mouth. “No need. I don't need you to say any cursed words to prove your love for me... Just show me in the future.”
Spencer was looking at her, just about to lean in for a kiss, when Thalia abruptly pulled back.
Upon seeing the situation, a slight frown formed on Spencer's face.
However, Thalia was looking at a figure not far away. “There's a child over there.”
Spencer glanced back in Anthony's direction, then pulled her into his arms. “He's on the phone, so he won't be looking this way.”
Seeing him about to approach again, Thalia retreated a bit with a smile. “That won't do either.”
Spencer looked on, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. “I don't even have the right to kiss my girlfriend?”
Thalia pondered for a moment, then swiftly leaned in to give Spencer a kiss. “Here's a reward for now,” she said, “the rest will come later.”
Seeing her acting all clever and mischievous, Spencer finally chuckled. “I'll let you off this time.”
Thalia looked at him, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing herself against his chest. She listened to the powerful beating of his heart, and felt an indescribable calmness deep within her.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Anthony held his phone, silently listening to the torrent of abuse coming from Kyle on the other end of the line.
Only when Kyle had vented enough, he asked, “Why aren't you speaking?”
Finally, Anthony spoke up, “Are you done scolding?”
Kyle was taken aback for a moment, then he said, “Can you give me an explanation now?”
“First off, I want to know if I am I not qualified to operate the unmanned aircraft device?” Anthony asked.
Kyle originally thought he would explain, but unexpectedly, he started with such a counter-question, which left him at a loss.
“It's not that...”
“When we first entered Darknetz, you said that we were equals. If that's the case, why can't I operate it?” Anthony asked.
“Well... I'm not saying you can't, but shouldn't you at least give me a heads up? We should at least discuss it, right?”
“It's urgent, so I don't have extra time to negotiate.”
“You-”
“I admit that I took it upon myself to make that decision. So, I will accept whatever you want to do now, and the punishment,” Anthony said directly, without any hint of resistance or attempt to argue.
Kyle was left speechless.
He was truly in a hurry, and his worry was indeed genuine.
But I really never thought about punishment.
Originally, he came to confront him. Somehow, he was made to look like the one causing a scene for no reason with just a few words from Anthony.
His brows furrowed. “At the very least, shouldn't you give me an explanation? What did you use it for?”
“Save a life.”
“Whose life?”
Anthony pursed his lips, “That's about all I can say. As for the rest, it's really not convenient for me to speak.”
Upon hearing the sound, Kyle couldn't help but hiss, then said, “Anthony Watson, just because I wasn't there doesn't mean I'm a fool. Today, news of Vermillion Base being destroyed is everywhere, and the unmanned aircrafts headed exactly there. Don't you really have nothing to say?”
