“Am I late?” Sharon asked, walking in.
She was just wearing an ordinary long dress, but after years of experience in the entertainment industry, she still exuded a gorgeous vibe.
Denise greeted her joyfully, “Sharon, you're finally here! We were just about to cut the cake!”
Sharon looked at her and said, “I came right after the shooting ended, and I didn't even have time to pick up the gift. Jessica will bring it over in a while!”
“Oh, that doesn't matter. I'm already happy that you came!” uttered Denise.
Pinching Denise's cute cheek, Sharon remarked, “How sweet of you!”
“Come! Come!” Denise then pulled her further in.
On the other side, Natasha was slightly relieved the moment she saw Sharon.
Kenneth, who was beside her, could feel the difference in her. He leaned into her ear and asked in a low voice, “What's the matter? What are you worried about?”
Looking at him, Natasha raised her eyebrows slightly. “Take a guess.”
“Is someone else coming?” asked Kenneth, with his dark eyes looking at her, full of certainty.
Natasha was stunned for a moment. Kenneth was indeed very keen, and it was not easy to hide some things from him.
She hoped that Spencer would avoid showing up after he read the message.
Seeing that Sharon had come, Liam thought everyone had arrived. Hence, he began to arrange the plans again.
Just then, Anthony looked at Natasha and queried, “Oh right, Nat, didn't you say that a friend is coming, and you want to introduce us? Where is that friend?”
Hearing that, everyone looked at her.
“Maybe something happened, and my friend can't come anymore,” Natasha replied lightly, still hoping that Spencer saw her message.
“Oh, okay, then,” said Anthony, not minding it.
“Who said I can't come?” A man's low voice suddenly sounded at the door. Then, an elegant figure slowly walked in.
Hearing that voice, Thalia, who was laughing with Benjamin, instantly stiffened. She stood rooted as though she was struck by lightning.
Did I hear it wrong? This voice... Could it be him?
Everyone immediately looked toward the door, spotting Spencer in black attire, his hair loose. A faint, charming smile plastered across his delicate face.
“I just came a little late to pick up the presents. Who said I couldn't come?” Spencer joked and walked in.
Looking straight at the triplets, he approached them and introduced himself, “Hello, birthday boys and girl. My name is Spencer Teal. I have been friends with your mother for over ten years. I've been wanting to meet you guys, and I finally got the chance now!”
Spencer's appearance could indeed rival that of a woman's.
His lips were red, his teeth white, and he looked charming. He had tender skin and a pair of long and narrow eyes that could capture people's souls.
Looking at him, Denise remarked in a daze, “You look so beautiful!”
Spencer was stunned for a moment. Although he preferred to be praised for being handsome rather than beautiful, he seemed to have gotten used to it after so long.
Plastering a smile, he replied, “Thank you, but if it can be changed to being handsome, I'll be happier!”
“You're also handsome. You're handsome and beautiful!” Denise replied smilingly.
Denise was unrivaled for being honey-tongued. Everyone would always be delighted after hearing her comments.
Spencer raised his eyebrows. “Thank you. You're much cuter and kinder than your mother.”
He was infinitely tolerant toward children, and with Natasha as a comparison, he knew that her children would surely be like her.
As he made that comment, Spencer threw a sarcastic look at Natasha.
The latter didn't speak as she stared at Thalia, motioning Spencer to look in the same direction.
Spencer didn't realize anything yet, but after so many years of being her friend, he could read her. Hence, he shifted his gaze toward Thalia.
