Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1033

Spencer's gaze was intensely fixed on her, his eyes slightly darkened. After a long while, he responded softly, “Mmm, I regret it.”

Thalia was very satisfied with this answer.

At the very least, it proved that her past efforts were not one-sided.

Looking at him, Thalia suddenly leaned in closer. “Spencer, tell me, did you like me previously?”

“Does it matter?”

“It's important, I need to know when exactly did you start?” Thalia looked at him, her eyes firm and bright, like two pearls shimmering with courage, radiating a captivating glow.

Spencer's gaze was deep and restrained, looking at her with an expression full of endless affection. After a long while, he finally spoke, “It started the night you fell ill.”

“What?” Thalia furrowed her brows, she couldn't quite remember.

“You don't remember?” Spencer asked, “One night, you had a fever and held my hand the entire night. It all started from that night,” Spencer said calmly.

Thalia narrowed her beautiful eyes, trying to recall that night. “I remember now...” she said, looking at Spencer, and continued to ask curiously, “Why?”

“What do you mean, 'why'?”

“Why did you fall for me that night?” she asked.

Spencer slightly pursed his lips, “I'm not sure, but perhaps because you're so petite, so I feel an urge to protect you.”

Listening to his response, Thalia gradually immersed herself in memories. She wasn't someone who liked to pursue the root of things, but at this moment, she couldn't help but ask, “Then why did you reject me later?”

Speaking of this, Spencer's expression turned stiff.

He looked at Thalia's delicate and exquisite face, a surge of pain and regret welling up in his heart.

Without shifting his gaze, he spoke lightly, “It's nothing.”

Thalia reached out, and cradled his face suddenly and looked directly into his eyes. “Spencer, don't try to escape, answer me.”

Answer her...

What am I to say?

Once he told the answer, all the loving feeling in the air would cease to exist.

Since he had decided to take this step, and resolved to protect her for a lifetime, Spencer had no intention of ever bringing up this secret again.

Seeing him remain silent, Thalia persisted. She was determined to uncover the deepest secret harbored in Spencer's heart.

“Spencer, tell me. What are you really worried about?” Thalia asked softly, with a sense of gentle persuasion.

A woman's sixth sense told her that Spencer had been keeping something from her all along, and that very thing was the reason that had kept them apart for so many years.

Without understanding the reason, she feared that he would eventually leave her again due to this reason.

“Spencer...”

At that moment, Spencer suddenly lifted his gaze, staring directly at her as if he could see right through her soul. “And what would that be?”

“How would I know?” Thalia paused, her attractive eyebrows furrowing.

Spencer suddenly changed his expression, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Do you really want to know?”

“Um.” Thalia nodded blankly.

At that moment, he leaned in, and suddenly whispered in her ear, “I raised you, so I can't bear to harm you. I feel like a beast.”

“Thalia was not amused. “Who said you raised me? I grew up on my own, okay?'“ she asked.

“That's not the same.”

“Besides, you're my benefactor at most, not my kin,” Thalia said.
