Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 686

Although Thalia was faltering after listening to what Natasha had to say, she wasn't one to be fooled easily. While looking at Natasha, Thalia said, “If I go, obviously, I'm not going to let him find out about my identity. In other words, even if I were to get caught, I won't be dragging Darknetz down with me. I'll deal with it myself.”

Natasha furrowed her brows. “Thalia...”

“I've already made up my mind,” Thalia uttered firmly.

Seeing how Thalia was behaving, Natasha knew she had to deal with Thalia the hard way.

“Do you still remember what I said yesterday before our meetup?” Natasha asked.

Thalia narrowed her eyes to slits. Only then did she remember what Natasha had requested the day before.

At the same time, realization dawned on Thalia. “Natasha, did you really reveal your identity because of that?”

“I know you always keep your word.”

Thalia glanced at her, not knowing how to respond at that moment. I know how important a person's identity is to a hacker. That's especially the case for top hackers like us because we're always being watched. However, she's putting herself on the spot!

“You were too impulsive, Natasha. Aren't you afraid that I might sell the information now that I know you're Shadow Seeker?” Thalia asked.

“You won't do that.”

“How would you know?”

“Because I've known you for three years.”

“Yet, I've always regarded you as a man,” Thalia replied.

“You can continue perceiving me as a man.”

“What I'm trying to say is that I've never considered you a friend. My plan was to destroy you if I couldn't get my hands on you!” Thalia enunciated.

“How about now?” Natasha asked.

Thalia stared blankly at Natasha, unable to conjure a response at that moment. Even if I were to disregard the relationship I have with Anthony, Natasha is still my savior! I can't do such a thing!

Thalia was overwhelmed by mixed emotions as she stared at Natasha. I don't like owing someone favors, especially if that person is nice to me. I don't know how to repay them!

With that in mind, Thalia said, “Still, you've acted rashly. I'm willing to forget about everything that happened today. You may leave. I'll pretend as if none of this happened, and I'll keep my mouth shut!”

“Thalia, regardless of whether I'm speaking as your friend who you hadn't met in three years or as the person sitting in front of you now, I think I know you well enough. You may seem carefree on the outside, but you're actually a cautious person. Therefore, I deeply believe that you're a worthy friend that I'm willing to sacrifice for. It doesn't matter what I've done. What matters the most is that you're worthy!” Natasha uttered.

As soon as those words fell, Thalia lifted her bewildered gaze toward Natasha. I never thought a woman would say those words to me. The worst thing is that I find it hard to resist her! She's so appealing, and I can't help thinking about throwing myself at her... Yet, my rationality is telling me not to do so.

Holding that thought, Thalia retracted her gaze and said, “I know what you're going to say to me. Yes. I promised to leave with you, but I never said when. Hence, I'm still keeping my word.”

Natasha knitted her brows in response.

Thalia gazed at Natasha and added, “Shadow Seeker, you've already saved my life once. This time around, I'm determined to go ahead with my plan, regardless of whether I'm doing it for you or for myself. If I'm lucky enough to retrieve the antidote, I'll fulfill the promise I made. If I can't get my hands on the antidote...” Thalia paused before continuing, “Well, I have no regrets.”

Natasha couldn't help but knit her brows even tighter while looking at Thalia.

Meanwhile, Miguel's car arrived outside, and he parked not far behind Kenneth's car.

Four of them were in the car, and when they saw Kenneth's car in front of them, one of them said, “We're here!”

After that, they kept looking outside the car. “Where have they gone to?” Denise asked.

“It's such a huge area. They could be anywhere!” Benjamin exclaimed.

The four of them continued looking out the window to scan the surroundings.

Right then, Anthony said, “Benjamin, let's split up and look for them. Report back to each other if there's any news!”

“What about me?” Denise asked.
