After staring at Natasha for a long time, Thalia finally came to a conclusion.
“It's useless to think about those matters now. Your child has long passed the stage of being bullied. Those of the same age are not a threat to them. For those who are older, they have Darknetz as their backing. No one would dare bully them!” Thalia said.
Upon hearing this, Natasha narrowed her eyes and chuckled. “Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case!”
“Why do I get the feeling that you're feigning ignorance?” Thalia asked.
“Don't worry. When you and Spencer have a child, you can leave them with Anthony and the others. They have Darknetz as their support, so you don't need to stress about these things!” Natasha said.
Thalia's gaze dimmed at the mention of Spencer. “Who said that I want to have a child with him?” She lowered her eyes and whispered, “We are bound together by ill fate in this life.”
Natasha nodded. “You're right. Two stubborn people who say one thing but mean another can hurt each other deeply. My advice to you is to break up!”
Upon hearing this, Thalia looked at her and asked, “Do you really think so?”
“Yeah.”
Thalia was left speechless once again. She had only made those remarks casually and never expected Natasha to offer the suggestion.
“Wait a second. Don't people always encourage others to stay together instead of separating? Why did you end up advising me to break up?” Thalia asked.
Natasha playfully looked at her and teased, “What's the matter? You can't bear to break up with him?”
“Not at all. As the saying goes, one would rather do something utterly destructive than ruin a marriage. Why are you so different from everyone else?”
Natasha raised an eyebrow and teased, “You're not like the others, Thalia. Since when do you speak so mindlessly?”
Thalia looked at her, suddenly at a loss for words.
Just then, Denise started chuckling heartily.
Thalia's fiery temperament was such that she preferred action over words. Therefore, she simply couldn't win Natasha in an argument of words.
Seeing that she couldn't out-talk Natasha, Thalia turned to look at Denise laughing on the side. She walked straight up to her and started tickling her. “What are you laughing at? You can laugh along if you understand!”
Seeing the situation, Denise quickly tried to hide. However, she was helplessly trapped in Thalia's embrace. She laughed and struggled, “Thalia, just because you can't win against my mom doesn't mean you can bully me!”
“I'll bully you!”
“Thalia!”
Natasha smiled warmly as she watched them fooling around.
Although Thalia might not be able to educate the three little ones, she was capable of never allowing anyone to bully them.
With that, Natasha felt much more at ease.
The two started to playfully wrestle. However, Thalia had drunk too much the day before. Even though she had taken the hangover remedy given by Spencer, she still felt dizzy if she exerted too much force.
In the midst of the commotion, Thalia clutched her head. “I need a rest. I'm feeling dizzy...”
Upon seeing this, Denise immediately looked at her with concern. “Thalia, what's wrong? Did I use too much force?”
Thalia looked at her. “Give me a kiss. A kiss will make the dizziness go away!”
“Thalia!” Denise furrowed her brows and hissed, “I'm not a child anymore. Why are you fooling around with me?”
“Oh, come on! Can't you just give me a little psychological comfort?” Thalia asked, then leaning in close to her. “So, are you going to kiss me or not?”
Denise looked at her with a sense of helplessness.
“Ah, you forget about your friends when your mom is around. I really am a pitiful soul with no one to care for me,” Thalia lamented woefully.
Denise couldn't resist her any longer. “All right, all right. She then leaned in and planted a kiss on her face.
However, it wasn't just a peck. Thalia held her face, smacking kisses all over it, left, right, up, and down.
