Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 707

Chapter 707

Natasha hesitated as she knew Thalia well.

The more Thalia was denied the opportunity to join, the more suspicious she would become. Natasha was sure Thalia would come after her.

She caved in. "Sure, come on."

Thalia hurried over to her and grinned. "Where are we headed?"

"It's just ahead." Natasha indicated with her chin.

Thalia immediately put her guard down and started chatting with her. "Are you going to complete a deal? Nat, you've been Shadow Seeker for years. How did you keep your identity a secret?"

"It's easy. I just don't tell anyone about it," came Natasha's answer.

"Isn't that boring?" Thalia asked curiously.

"Being a hacker isn't an interesting job," Natasha answered.

Thalia pondered over her answer. "I think Anthony seems to like being a hacker. It looks like he's passionate about it."

"He's an exception."

"Right. Geniuses are exceptions," Thalia agreed.

Seeing that Thalia had completely let her guard down, Natasha suddenly glanced backward and gasped. "Spencer? Why are you here, too?"

Hearing that, Thalia spun around.

The moment she did, Natasha struck her neck.

Thalia crumpled to the ground, and Natasha held her up.

Staring at her, Natasha mumbled, "Don't blame me for doing this."

She then dragged Thalia's body aside.

After replaceing a suitable spot, she placed Thalia on the ground.

Dave had set up security precautions for a radius of one hundred miles.

It was a secluded area, so no one would show up there for no reason. She knew Thalia would be safe here.

After setting her down, Natasha retrieved Thalia's phone and unlocked it with her fingerprint. Next, she scheduled a text to be sent to Spencer before walking away.

Her slender figure soon blended in with the dark.

Meanwhile, Dave and Spencer were waiting for Kenneth to depart. Time ticked by, but Kenneth didn't show up.

"Where is he?" Spencer asked.

"After dinner, he said he wanted to bid goodbye to Natasha. They should be together now," Dave said.

Spencer glanced at his watch and frowned. "It's time."

"Let's wait a bit more. Maybe something cropped up."

Spencer inclined his head.

Right then, Dave looked at him. "Don't you need to bid goodbye to someone?"

"I told her about our mission this morning."

Dave gave him a pointed look. "I didn't mean that. I was talking about-"

"Our relationship is not what you think."

Dave let out a soft chuckle. "Oh? Really?"

Spencer remained silent.

"It looks like Thalia isn't capable enough of taming you completely," Dave joked.

A conflicted look flashed across Spencer's eyes. He frowned and didn't continue the conversation.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't like her, then don't waste her time. Many people in our organization look up to her. If you don't like her, then give the rest a chance."

Spencer whirled around to look at him. "People in your organization? Who are they?"

Dave regarded him briefly before saying, "That doesn't concern you. You don't even like her, so why bother replaceing out who they are?"

A displeased look flashed across Spencer's eyes. "I brought Thalia up. Can't I know who they are?"

Dave narrowed his eyes. "So that's your type?"

"It's not what you think," Spencer said, stopping him from harboring disgusting thoughts.

Dave's eyes crinkled up. "That isn't important. I respect all kinds of love."

Even so, Spencer didn't want others to misunderstand Thalia. He explained, "I got to know her when I was traveling about. She was an orphan and decided to follow me. I had the idea later of sending her to a family to bring her up properly, so we separated then."

Dave listened to the story patiently. The matter didn't concern him, but since Spencer said that, he told him, "Judging from Thalia's character, I don't think she will be fine with your arrangements. I think she fell in love with you at first sight."

Spencer said nothing, for he was right.

As Thalia matured, she became increasingly opinionated and rebellious, to the point where he sensed that she had developed romantic feelings for him. This led him to consider the idea of placing her with a suitable family. However, when he went through with it, Thalia exploded and disappeared for an entire day. It was only when he finally found her that she confessed her feelings for him.

She told him she wanted to marry him when they first met.

That was why she had been following him.

Alas, Spencer's guilt grew as they spent more time together.

He was afraid to reveal the truth to Thalia, knowing that it could cause her to become overwhelmed and direct her hatred toward him.

His gaze turned dark.

Men tend to talk less. Dave might not understand Spencer's predicament, but he knew Spencer was deeply in love with Thalia.

He said, "At times, I replace myself admiring Kenneth's approach to love. He puts in every effort to win the affection of the woman he loves and is not afraid to be open about his feelings. His recklessness and passion may be the reason for his current happiness."

Spencer gazed at Dave, who gave him a polite smile.

Spencer nodded in agreement. "I envy him, too."

Dave gave his shoulder a pat. "You can do it too, as long as you're willing to let it go."

Spencer looked down. "My situation is different from his. I don't think I can be like him, ever." He turned to Dave and said encouragingly, "You're open-minded. I believe you'll replace your true love one day."

Dave chuckled. "You're fortunate to have found someone who loves you as much as you love her. It's not easy for everyone to experience that kind of luck. Personally, I haven't been fortunate enough to meet that special someone yet. You should cherish your opportunity."

A mocking grin appeared on Spencer's lips. "I'm not fortunate. This is nothing but a test."

"That depends on how you think about it."

Spencer took a deep breath. He was about to say something when his phone beeped.

He whipped it out to see that it was a text from Thalia. His brows furrowed up after he read it.

The next second, he got up and strode out.

Dave stared at his back and frowned. "Where are you going?"

Spencer ignored him and hurried away.
