Seeing him silent, Thalia furrowed her eyebrows slightly. “What's the matter? You don't believe me?”
A flicker of doubt flashed past Spencer's handsome face. After a moment, he regained his composure, forcing a smile. “I do.”
“What's up with you then?” Thalia asked.
Spencer wanted to say something, but the words were stuck on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't utter a single word.
After a while, he said, “It's nothing. I'm glad that you're okay!”
Thalia was still very pleased by his words, even though he didn't consider that as his intention. However, at that moment, she really didn't have the ability to read too much into his words as she stared at him.
“By the way, how is Nat doing?” Thalia asked.
Mention of that name still made Spencer's heart skip a beat as he lifted his eyes to look at her.
“Is she better now? She should be up and about, right?” asked Thalia.
Spencer pursed his lips and was about to say something when Thalia checked the time. “At this hour, the kids should be visiting her, right? I guess I'll check on her, too.” She finished speaking and stood up, ready to leave.
However, at that moment, Spencer pulled her back. “Don't go!”
Thalia's footing was unstable, and she almost fell when Spencer suddenly pulled her. Fortunately, Spencer's quick reflexes saved her from falling.
“How are you doing? Everything all right?” Spencer asked.
Thalia looked up. Her lips were just a few centimeters away from Spencer's. She could even feel his breath.
Staring at him, she suddenly leaned in and kissed him on the lips.
Upon seeing the situation, Spencer knitted his eyebrows. “You—”
“What's wrong with me?” Thalia asked, her eyebrows playfully raised. “Isn't this what you wanted when you pulled me like that?”
A hint of helplessness flashed across his exquisite features. “No.”
As if she had anticipated his response, Thalia didn't get angry. Instead, she felt as if she had gained a great advantage. She laughed and said, “Does it really matter anymore? After all, we've already kissed.”
Spencer was looking at her, but he didn't say a word.
“Tell me, then.” Thalia said, looking at him.
“About what?”
“Why shouldn't I go?” Thalia asked.
Only then did Spencer remember something. He looked at her and casually asked, “Their family is gathering together right now. What are you going to do joining them?”
Upon hearing that, Thalia lifted her eyebrow slightly. “Makes sense. Forget about it, then. I'll visit her tomorrow.”
Spencer looked at her, habitually maintaining his silence.
At that moment, Thalia's gaze fell on him again. Her eyes, adorable and full of spirit, blinked. “In that case, I'll keep you company tonight.”
Spencer was slightly taken aback. His gaze shifted toward her.
At that moment, Thalia surprised him, reaching out her hand and nestling into his embrace. “Spencer, shall we have a child, too?”
Spencer looked at her, slightly taken aback.
At that moment, Thalia was lost in her daydreams. “How about we have three children as smart as those three?”
“Three?”
“Exactly. We can't fall behind them!”
Spencer said, “Do you know how slim the chances are of having triplets? It's only a few percent. Moreover, it must be in their family genes.”
Listening to Spencer's words, Thalia furrowed her brows in deep thought. “Is that so?”
