Chapter 729 Too Difficult

Thalia's eyes glinted as she stared at them with an aggrieved and upset expression. "So what if I'm lying? Are you three going to tell me you've never deceived me before?"

In response to Thalia's drastic change in attitude, Denise objected, "No, we told you all our greatest secrets. We aren't lying to you about anything."

"Truly?"

The girl turned to her brothers and reaffirmed, "Nope. We didn't lie about anything!"

It's time for me to show off my acting skills. Gazing at the children with a sneer, Thalia made her first move. "What about the fact that your mommy's the Shadow Seeker? Why didn't any of you tell me about he identity before?"

Err...

The trio was stunned.

That matter had almost been completely erased from their minds.

"You... don't know?" Denise asked.

"Don't give me that. You three should know the answer," retorted Thalia.

The girl pursed her lips. It does seem like we're in the wrong for this...

Seeing that the children were staying quiet, Thalia took one step further. "All of you knew my mission was to locate Shadow Seeker, yet you three hid that information from me, making me look like a fool. Does it make you happy to do that to me, hmm?"

"We didn't mean to—"

Thalia interrupted Denise by raising her hand. "It doesn't matter what you three's intentions were because it doesn't erase the blow dealt to me. I spent so much time looking for her like an idiot. You know, I've been through thick and thin with you three, and I value your lives more than my own. How could you three be so cruel to lie to me?"

When she ended her sentence, the children grew silent as they believed they were at fault.

Due to the children's soft-hearted nature, Thalia handily made them feel guilty with her speech.

Moments later, Benjamin said, "Yes, we're wrong to hide Mommy's identity from you, but it's not like we lied. We merely concealed the truth."

Ugh... With how things have turned out, I must keep going! When her train of thought ended there, she raised her eyes. "Yes, but someone promised me in the past that they'll never hide anything from me again!"

As she spoke, she gazed at Anthony. Clearly, she was referring to him. If I can subdue Anthony, then it's basically my victory, considering he's the leader and the toughest nut to crack among the three of them. Once he's dealt with, I can handwave the rest with the other two.

Unfortunately for her, Anthony didn't care about that. "I admit I hid Nat's identity from you, but I still don't think I did anything wrong. After all, it concerns Nat's privacy and safety. I trust you and am willing to put my life in your hands, but I can't afford the risk of revealing her secret. If given another chance, I'd still do the same without regrets."

"You" Thalia was speechless.

Her initial plan was to make the children feel guilty. However, she didn't expect him to come up with a perfectly logical explanation afterward. Furthermore, he was so sincere in his explanation that she was touched.

Feeling exasperated, she thought, These children are so difficult to deal with!

At the side, Denise nodded in agreement. "Tony's right, Thalia. It's not that we don't trust you. We discussed amongst ourselves whether to tell you about that before. In the end, we concluded that if Nat doesn' want us to let you know her secret, we can't reveal it to you."

Upon taking a deep breath, Benjamin nodded. "That's right. So, if you're angry about this, we have nothing else to say."

The trio had identical expressions and looks in their eyes as they stared at her.

Why do they look like they've just been bullied? In any case, I can't do this anymore. I didn't plan to reprimand them. I just wanted them to stop asking me questions. If I were in their shoes, I think I'd do the same. Just as Thalia was about to speak, she heard noises coming from the gate.

Soon, two cars drove into the premises.

Joy flashed past her eyes when she saw that.

"They're back!" she uttered before approaching the vehicles.

In response, the children followed her.

After the cars were parked in the garage, the passengers left the vehicles.

The moment Thalia saw Spencer, she pounced toward him, caressed his cheeks, and inspected him from head to toe for any wounds. "Are you hurt, Spencer?"

Spencer felt a sense of warmth upon seeing her. "I'm fine."

Then, when Thalia noticed how wretched everyone looked, she asked again, "Really?"

"Yes. Anyway, why are you outside so early?"

"I've been waiting for you all to return."

Seconds later, he noticed the children behind her.

Thus, she whispered in his ear. "I was almost driven crazy by the three of them. Thank goodness all of you came back in time."

Perhaps it was because Spencer had the antidote that he was feeling pretty good.

Meanwhile, the children greeted their parents, "Nat, Daddy."

The sight of their mother helping their father leave the car spurred them to gather around them.

Upon seeing the simple bandage on Kenneth's body, Denise frowned and inquired in a worrying tone, "Are you hurt, Daddy?"

Kenneth's frigid look melted when he saw his daughter. He formed a smile with his pale lips and assured, "I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me."

"But you're bleeding, Daddy..." Tears welled in the girl's eyes.

As the saying goes, a daughter is indeed a father's sweetheart. When he turned to the boys, he saw them merely standing there without saying a word.

Just as he bent his waist and tried to carry Denise in his arms, Natasha stopped him. "Do you want to die?"

Kenneth's movements ceased abruptly.

A moment later, Natasha turned to the children. "Don't worry. He only has superficial wounds. However, if you three bother him too much, then I can't guarantee he'll be fine after losing too much blood."

The children replied with silence.

Upon hearing that, Kenneth turned to look at her. "I know you're worried about me, but don't frighten the children."
