Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 757

Spencer was inside the laboratory studying pharmaceutical ingredients when the door suddenly opened, and Thalia came walking in. He looked up and furrowed his brows slightly upon seeing her. “Done eating so soon?”

She remained silent as she walked over and fixed her eyes on him. Seeing the mixture of heartache, sympathy, and determination in her gaze, he felt somewhat puzzled.

“What's wrong?” he asked.

Thalia pressed her lips together. Suddenly, she stretched her arms and gently wrapped them around his waist. “No matter what you're like, I just wanted to tell you that I like you for you. It has nothing to do with... anything else.”

Spencer continued frowning at her sudden confession of her feelings.

“It's all right. Really,” she murmured with her cheek resting against his chest.

He pulled her arms around his waist and pushed her away from him slightly. Lowering his gaze, he looked at her and asked, “What are you trying to say?”

She could almost hear Natasha's reminder playing in her head. Men have a big ego in this aspect. There's no changing the truth, yet he still asks me such a question. That only shows how much he refuses to accept it as the truth.

As that thought crossed her mind, Thalia knew she could not hurt his ego. She immediately beamed at him and answered, “It's nothing. I just felt like telling you that. I was very happy last night. Truly.”

“Really?”

She nodded vigorously. “Yes!”

He could not help recalling the memories of the previous night. She's usually already breathtakingly gorgeous. However, she had a hint of languor in her eyes after having some wine, and her red lips looked utterly captivating under the dim light.

At that thought, he also gave a smile. “That's good. As long as you're happy.”

Gazing at him, she suddenly said shyly, “Y-You're actually pretty good.”

He narrowed his eyes in confusion. “Huh?”

“Oh, nothing,” she answered, shaking her head. Then, she added, “You know I've never cared about anything else. I only care about you. So, no matter the reason, don't leave me again.”

Spencer narrowed his dark eyes as he studied her, seemingly coming to a realization. After a while, he said, “Got it. I won't.”

“Really?” Thalia asked.

“Yeah,” he replied with a nod. I've made up my mind. Even if we can't be together in every sense of the word, I'll remain by Thalia's side and watch over her. I'll do that until the day she learns the truth. I'll do that until she personally tells me to leave.

Thalia finally felt at ease when she saw his resolute gaze. “You'd better keep your word. If you lie to me, I'll never see you again.”

“Okay.” He did not say anything more and merely nodded solemnly.

She threw herself into his arms again a moment later. Happiness filled her heart as she thought about how he had initiated a kiss the previous night. So what if he can't get it on? That doesn't matter. I don't mind as long as I get to be with him.

As for Spencer, he stared at the woman in his arms for a while. He had been refraining from touching her. In the end, his hands moved to stroke her hair and back. His touch was gentle, as though he was holding something he cherished dearly.

Meanwhile, Kenneth swept his dark eyes over the panting figure lying on the bed in the bedroom. He whispered in her ear, “What do you think, Nat? Are you satisfied with my performance?”

Blushing, she nodded. Satisfactory was an understatement. It had been enough to make one feel utterly embarrassed!

“So, are there any issues with my abilities?” he asked.

Something seemed to pop into her mind, and she quickly shook her head and explained, “I didn't mean to doubt you...”

“Then what did you mean by your question?”

“Um...” Her voice trailed off. I can't tell him why!

However, Kenneth took her silence as confirmation of her doubts about him. He suddenly moved closer to her ear and said in a low voice, “I thought your body wouldn't be able to take it, so I didn't want to push you too far. But now that I think about it, I see that my performance was lacking.”
