Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 769

Spencer's eyes darkened as he scrutinized Natasha.

All he saw was a relaxed expression and a languid look in her eyes. Nowhere did he manage to find a hint of anger in her.

“Are you serious?” Spencer asked.

“Do I look like I'm joking?” Natasha countered.

Nevertheless, Spencer was filled with hesitation still.

“Don't worry; your secret is safe with me. I'll definitely not tell Thalia about it.” Natasha made a last-ditch effort to reassure him.

Staring at her, Spencer paused momentarily before relenting in the end. “Fine, I'll tell you.”

Natasha straightened her posture immediately and was all ears. “Go on.”

As Spencer took a deep breath, his eyes seemed to drift away to another time. “Many years ago, I met Thalia went I was traveling in a far-flung place...”

Natasha remained seated while listening to Spencer relate the past. When he finally got to the end, she couldn't help but knit her brows slightly.

“Are you saying...”

“That's right. That man was Thalia's father.” Spencer nodded as a sorrowful look descended upon his face.

If it wasn't for that, there was no way he would have rejected such a wonderful girl.

Natasha's eyes began to sparkle gradually now that she finally knew what Spencer meant by owing Thalia his life.

Lips pursed and brows knitted, she finally understood how complicated the matter was.

Any other reason would have been easier to overcome but to have killed her father...

Narrowing her eyes, Natasha nodded. “All right. I understand.”

Spencer gazed at her. “Nat, I know the debt is mine and that I shouldn't burden you with it, but I'm left with no choice. Never have I hated myself so much for my own incompetence. If only it were possible, I would be willing to compensate you with my own life!”

“Spencer, you don't owe me anything. And don't you forget about the number of times you have saved me,” Natasha comforted him.

If not for Spencer back then, I would have been bullied terribly...

Spencer stared at her, his eyes brimming with conflicting emotions.

“That's why you should go ahead and do whatever you want. I'm fine with it,” Natasha replied as she stared right into his eyes.

Spencer was shaken. “But you...”

“It's just an antidote, and it's not like my life is under immediate threat. Besides, there might only be one, but it isn't the only solution,” Natasha added.

“But what if...”

“That will be up to you. I have faith that with your capabilities, you'll definitely come up with something.”

Gazing into her eyes, Spencer felt torn inside.

Nonetheless, Natasha flashed a carefree smile. “Enough talk already. The matter's settled.” With that, she got up to leave. However, when something struck her at the last moment, she turned around. “By the way, I would suggest that you keep this from Thalia. Otherwise, she'll refuse to take the antidote.”

“Nat...”

Natasha grinned at him. “Also, no one can change the past. If you really feel that you have let Thalia down, leaving her isn't the right solution. Instead, making amends is!”

“Making amends?”

Natasha nodded. “Yes, making amends. Spend the rest of your life making it up to her as a way to repay your debt.”

When her words left Spencer stunned, the smiling Natasha got up and left.

Just when she placed her hand on the doorknob, Spencer stood up suddenly. “Nat...”

Natasha stopped in her tracks.

“Thank you.”

Natasha turned around and said, “That's not what I want to hear.”
