Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 173

Natasha looked rather unruffled while a trace of panic flashed across Spencer's eyes. “What is she doing here?” he asked.

Natasha glanced at him placidly. “Relax, she doesn't know you're here. She's here for me.”

Spencer heaved a sigh of relief at her words. “Phew.”

“What happened between the two of you?” Natasha asked all of a sudden, shooting him a curious glance. The first time she had heard about Thalia was from Spencer.

Spencer's cheeks became inexplicably flushed. He blinked his narrow eyes. “What could happen between us? She's a fierce and vicious woman. Nobody can hide from her.”

“Then why are you blushing?”

“What are you talking about?” Spencer demanded. “I have been drinking!” At that, he picked up the glass of red wine on the table and downed it.

A smile appeared across Natasha's lips as she watched him.

Being reticent, are we? Fine.

Spencer was even more flustered after being teased by Natasha. “By the way,” he said suddenly upon recalling something, “what did she come to you for? You haven't offended Darknetz, have you?”

“I had dealt with Darknetz several times when I was investigating my dad some time ago,” Natasha replied unhurriedly as she took her time to swallow her food. “They wanted me to join them.”

“Is that why they sent Thalia?” he asked.

Natasha nodded.

“And you...”

“She doesn't know who I am yet,” Natasha concluded calmly.

Spencer narrowed his eyes. “She hasn't seen through you, but you have seen through her?” “When you first mentioned her to me back then, I had her investigated out of curiosity and remembered her because she's beautiful.”

The man was rendered speechless by her words.

Am I supposed to respond to that?

His symmetrical features suddenly grimaced at the thought. Catching sight of the bottle of red wine before him, he poured another glass and downed it.

That is why it is terrible to have a hacker close to you. Before you find anything on them after their sudden appearance in your life, they've already found everything there is to know about you. Even more importantly, a careless word to her would be enough for her to discover everything.

At that harrowing prospect, Spencer was inwardly grateful that he and Natasha were friends instead of enemies.

How terrifying!

Spencer cleared his throat. “Are you going to tell her?”

Natasha raised her eyebrows. “I don't plan on joining them. Why should I tell her?”

“So, you aren't even planning on showing your face?” he asked, incredulous.

“It's for the best.”

His lips twisted into a bitter smile. For some reason, he felt awful for Thalia.

At least they can't investigate or get to her. It sucks for them to have to return empty-handed.

By that point, Natasha seemed to have sensed something as she glanced at her friend. “How about you act as my proxy and tell her for me?”

“This conversation never happened!” cried Spencer.

Natasha smiled at his look of fear. “The miracle doctor who has dominated the underworld is afraid of a little girl. I'm even more curious to know what happened between you two.”

Spencer gave her a faint smile. “Curiosity killed the cat, you know. You shouldn't ask

too many questions, young lady.”

“Maybe I should ask Thalia then?”
