You're Out Daddy

Chapter 700

Meanwhile, Spencer was tidying up some stuff in the laboratory when the door abruptly swung open.

“Spencer!” Thalia called out to him as she came running in.

Spencer froze upon seeing her appear behind him. “What are you doing here?”

Thalia's eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky as she reached out and hugged him tightly.

Confused and surprised, Spencer asked, “What's wrong?”

“Nothing's wrong. I just felt like hugging you all of a sudden,” Thalia replied.

Spencer frowned as he tried to push her off, only to have Thalia tighten her hug even further. “Don't

push me away, or I will leave immediately.”

Sure enough, Spencer put his hands back down.

Thalia grinned gleefully when she noticed his response and nuzzled against his chest. As she listened

to the strong beating of his heart, hers was filled with a sweet sensation like never before.

Just like that, Thalia continued hugging Spencer, who didn't dare move a muscle.

After what seemed like forever, Thalia looked up at him. “Spencer, tell me that you love me.”

Spencer was about to say no to her request, but the words were stuck in his throat when he saw the

look of happiness in her eyes.

It was also possible that he didn't actually want to turn her request down at all.

Thalia pressed her chin against his chest as she continued, “Well? What are you waiting for? Say it!”

Spencer's lips twitched as he struggled to get the words out, but all he said in the end was, “All right,

stop fooling around. This is a laboratory. Go get some rest in your room. I'll head over in a bit.”

“No! I'm not going anywhere unless you say it!” Thalia insisted.

Spencer lowered his gaze, muttering, “Thalia...”

Thalia shook her head stubbornly. “No! I'm not leaving until you say it!”

Spencer let out a helpless sigh as he scooped her into his arms and carried her like a princess.

Thalia instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

“What are you doing?”

“I'm carrying you back to your room so you can get some rest!”

“Spencer! Why won't you just tell me that you love me? Are you planning on waiting until my final

moments or something?” Thalia questioned in frustration.

As Spencer remained silent, Thalia knew she had no choice but to give up.

“Okay, fine, I won't force you to say it!” she exclaimed when he started walking out of the laboratory.

Spencer paused in his tracks when he heard that. He then met her gaze.

“I'll go as soon as you answer my question,” Thalia continued.

“What is it?” Spencer asked.

“Have you been asking Natasha about me back then?” Natasha asked.

Spencer frowned instantly. “Did she tell you that?”

“Just answer my question, Spencer. Did you ask her about me?” Thalia pressed on.

Spencer pursed his lips. “I only did that because—”

“You don't need to explain your reasons. I just want to know if you actually did it.”

“Yes, I did.”

Thalia looked into his eyes and asked with a grin, “Why?”

Spencer lowered his gaze as he whispered, “You said I would only have to answer one question. That's

the second question you've asked me.”

Thalia was about to protest when he put her down.

“I'll go right away if you answer me this!” she exclaimed.

“The deal was to only answer one question,” Spencer reminded her.

“Spencer!”

“Would you prefer if I carried you back instead?”

Thalia knew that pressuring Spencer too much would only do her more harm than good, so she had no

choice but to back off for the time being.

“Fine! I'll go, then!” Thalia shouted.

Spencer simply stood there and stared at her in silence.

She was about to start walking off when she recalled something and turned around. “There's one more

thing I'd like to tell you.”

“Go ahead.”

Because Spencer was about six feet tall, there was quite a height difference between them.

“Lower your head, will you? It hurts my neck to have to keep looking up at you like this!”

Spencer leaned forward a little bit.

“Still too high up for me. Go lower!”

Spencer frowned suspiciously at her, but he did as told anyway.

Thalia's lips curled into a gleeful smile as she got on her tiptoe and kissed Spencer on the lips, leaving

him completely frozen in shock.

Having gotten what she wanted, Thalia quickly ran away, saying, “This is your reward for today!”

By the time Spencer regained his composure, Thalia had run out of the laboratory.

Spencer could feel the lingering warmth of her kiss even after she was long gone.

There was an inexplicably conflicted look in his beautiful eyes as he rubbed his lips.

Thalia did not return to her room immediately after leaving the laboratory.

Seeing as the weather was looking great with the sun shining brightly in the sky, she recalled what

Natasha had said and decided to go for a walk.

Having spent most of her time indoors, Thalia really wanted to explore the area outside.

As most of the housekeepers were inside the castle, there weren't many in the back garden and the

courtyard.

Thalia wandered around and took in the beautiful greenery around her while enjoying the comfortable

warmth of the sun. Upon spotting an area with a table and chairs, she quickly headed over and took a

seat.

There was a pot of tea and some snacks on the table.

Thalia then poured herself a cup of tea to go with the view. Because she was in a good mood,

everything around her seemed a lot more beautiful than usual.

Right as she was starting to lose herself admiring the lush greenery and colorful flowers, a tiny figure

came into her line of sight.

Thalia froze when she noticed that it was Anthony.

Realizing that he had run into Thalia, Anthony pretended not to see her and turned around.

“Wait!” Thalia called out to him when she saw him prepare to leave.

Anthony paused in his tracks, but he did not turn around to face her.

“Did you come here to see me?” Thalia asked after giving it some thought.

What? Why would she ask me that? If I had come here to see her, then I wouldn't have tried to leave

the moment I saw her! Thalia is obviously doing this on purpose!

“No,” Anthony replied coldly.

“You're here for a walk, then?”

“You could say that.”

“Would you like to sit down for some snacks and tea?”

“No.”

“Wait!” Thalia called out to Anthony when he was about to continue walking, prompting him to pause in

his tracks once again.

“Turn around and face me!” Thalia continued.

Although reluctant, Anthony did as told and turned around anyway. “What do you want?” he asked with

an angry look on his face.

Thalia took a deep breath to calm herself down. “What, I can't talk to you unless I want something from

you?”

“I don't recall us being that close,” Anthony snapped back at her.

Okay, this kid is clearly trying to spite me!

Thalia walked up to him and said, “You're right. We aren't that close, but that doesn't mean we can't sit

down and have a chat over tea.”

“I don't like chatting with strangers.”

“That's quite enough, Anthony! I'm already taking a step back by speaking to you here. Shouldn't you at

least try to be a little nicer?”
