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

Chapter 992 Shocked Again

After chatting with Anthony, Spencer went straight back to the room.

However, as he pushed the door open and saw the person inside, he paused slightly.

“How did you end up here?” Spencer asked.

Thalia was sitting on the couch. Seeing him return, she stood up. “It sounds like you're not too pleased to see me. If that's the case, I'll leave.” With that, she walked straight past him.

However, before she could even take two steps, Spencer reached out and grabbed her, pulling her to him.

“You know that's not what I meant,” said Spencer.

Feeling Spencer's embrace from behind, Thalia pouted. “What do you mean by asking me why I'm here then?”

“I went to your room looking for you, but you weren't there. That's why I'm a bit surprised to see you here,” Spencer whispered in her ear.

“Really?” asked Thalia.

Spencer nodded.

Thalia pursed her lips, then murmured softly, “That's more like it.”

At that moment, Spencer let go of her, turning her around. “How are you? Are your injuries getting better?”

“It's just some superficial wounds. Nothing serious at all.”

Spencer looked at her, wanting to say something. However, when the words reached his lips, he still appeared hesitant. He seemed as if he was on the verge of speaking but stopped himself.

“How was your chat with her?” asked Thalia.

In response to that, Spencer took her hand and led her toward the couch. After sitting down, he held her hand. “She understands everything I said. In fact, there was no need for me to say anything.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia furrowed her brows slightly. “In her state, it'll be better if she just has a good cry. It's suffocating watching her like that. I feel sad on her behalf.”

Listening to her words, Spencer smiled helplessly. “If she does that, then she won't be Natasha.”

“If she keeps bottling her emotions up like this, I'm afraid she may end up with some issues,” said Thalia. Then, lowering her voice as if feeling somewhat guilty, she added, “I'm just not very good at comforting people. How great it would be if I could.”

Listening to her voice, Spencer looked at her. “No matter what you want to say or need to say, Natasha understands it all too well.”

“But—”

“No matter what we say or do, we are ultimately outsiders. What she needs now is to find her own way,” said Spencer.

Thalia nodded in agreement.

“She's much stronger than you imagine, so rest assured,” Spencer said. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yeah, she really is strong. If it were me, I would have broken down a long time ago.” Thalia didn't hide her true feelings at all.

“Rest assured, I won't let you face such a day.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia grinned at him.

“However...” Spencer looked at her. “What are your plans after this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you plan to rejoin the team?” Spencer asked.

Thalia furrowed her brows. “Ever since I left, Kyle knew I've been with Anthony all along, so he didn't assign me any tasks. Originally, I was supposed to take Anthony and the others back after this matter was settled. However, I didn't expect things to turn out this way... Plans can't keep up with changes. Honestly, I don't know what to do next!” Thalia confessed.

Spencer moistened his lips. “Thalia, there's something I need to tell you.”

Seeing his solemn expression, Thalia couldn't help but furrow her brows anxiously. “You're not going to tell me that everything before was a lie and that you want to keep your distance from me now, are you?”

Seeing her so distressed, Spencer quickly took her hand to comfort her. “Of course not.”

“What do you want to say, then?”

Spencer furrowed his brows slightly, and then he spoke. “Here's the thing. Natasha wants to take Kenneth back home, and I want to escort them back.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia raised an eyebrow. “That's all?”

Spencer nodded.

“And here I was thinking it was something serious. You scared me to death...”

“You don't mind?”

“What's there to mind? Besides, I want to be with her. We are partly to blame for Kenneth's condition, so what is there for me to mind?” Thalia retorted.

Upon hearing that, Spencer finally let out a deep sigh of relief. He pulled her into his arms from behind. “Before I came back, I kept thinking about how to explain things to you so you wouldn't get angry. It seems I was overthinking things.”

Thalia leaned into his arms. “Of course you're overthinking it. How could I possibly mind something like this? Besides, do you really think I'm that petty?”

“Of course not.” Spencer quickly switched to coaxing mode.

Thalia furrowed her brows. “I was initially worried about their safety on the return journey. However, since you're going with them, I feel relieved.”

At that moment, Spencer looked at her. “I've truly overthink things, then. Thalia, would you like to join me?”

“Me?”

“Mm-hmm.” Spencer nodded.

Thalia furrowed her brows. “It's not that I don't want to. It's just that with Natasha and Kenneth in their current state, wouldn't we being together inappropriate?”

“Do you really want to break up over this?”

“That's not what I meant. I just feel maybe it'll be better if we avoid being together for now!” said Thalia.

“Isn't it more hurtful to avoid someone deliberately?”

Thalia looked at Spencer, wanting to say something. However, when the words reached her lips, she could not speak.

Spencer looked at her, then spoke reassuringly. “Don't worry. Natasha won't overthink things. Even if she does, she'll only hope for our well-being.”

“Really?” wondered Thalia.

Spencer nodded with certainty. “Moreover, on this journey, you'll be in charge of external security while I'm responsible for the internal. We'll both be escorting them for serious reasons, not to show off our love. What are you worried about?”

Thalia was easily swayed. Upon hearing those words, she gradually felt there was no issue. “That's true.”

“So, do you want to join me?” Spencer asked.

At that moment, he couldn't bear to let Thalia out of his sight for even a moment.

Thalia pondered for a moment before speaking. “I need to think about this matter. Also, I need to discuss with Anthony tomorrow to see what his plans are.”

“Anthony will likely be returning to Glenport City with Natasha.”

“Is that so?”

“In this situation, Anthony won't leave Natasha behind.”

Thalia pondered, “Well, it seems I really need to think this through.”

While they were talking, Thalia's phone suddenly rang.

She pulled out her mobile phone and furrowed her brows upon seeing the caller's name.

“What's wrong?” Spencer asked.

“It's Kyle. I need to take this,” Thalia said.

Spencer nodded slightly.

Thalia got up, taking her phone to another place to answer the call.

“Hey, Kyle.” Thalia lowered her voice, her expression instantly returning to its usual sharpness.

However, upon hearing what Kyle said, she widened her eyes in surprise. “What did you say? You already arrived?”
