Chapter 938 The Best Thing In My Life

Upon seeing him emerge, Thalia glanced at him and immediately turned to leave.

However, before she could take a step, Spencer reached out and grabbed her.

Thalia was slightly taken aback. She turned around and gazed at the person behind her and the hand he was holding. With a frown, she asked, "What are you doing?" Spencer's eyes were pitch black as he said, "I have something to tell you!" Without waiting for a response, he took her hand and led her away.

Thalia really didn't expect that to happen. Spencer was pulling her toward the outside, and she was still trying to resist. "I have nothing to say to you. Let me go!" Regardless of what she said, Spencer had no intention of letting her go.

Spencer halted in his tracks once he was outside.

"Will you let go of me now?" asked Thalia.

Spencer lowered his gaze and let go of her hand.

Thalia lifted her wrist, gently massaging the spot he had grabbed. "What do you want to say? Go ahead."

His delicate features flickered with a hint of depth and complexity. Spencer looked at her and asked, "Why do you have to do this?"

"What are you on about?" asked Thalia.

Spencer took a deep breath and gazed into her eyes. "Thalia, I know you're angry with me, but can you please not put yourself in danger just to spite me?" Spencer asked. Upon hearing that, Thalia instantly furrowed her brows. She squinted her eyes, seemingly puzzled. "In your view, do you think I'm doing this just to annoy you?" "Isn't that so?" Spencer retorted.

Thalia was instantly infuriated, her chest heaving with anger. She wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in her throat, leaving her speechless for a long time. Spencer looked at her and then said, "Thalia, I've told you, this is what I owe Natasha. I will pay it back. I don't need your help!"

Thalia was getting anxious. She turned around and yelled at him, "Why? Why should you be the one to settle my affairs?"

"I was the one who asked her for this favor, and she agreed to do it out of respect for our relationship. So, naturally, it's up to me to repay her!" Spencer said, looking at her. Hearing him spout the same old lines, Thalia instantly became infuriated.

"Spencer, do you really think so highly of yourself?" Thalia asked.

Spencer furrowed his brows slightly when he heard that.

"So, you think others' lives are worthless? That with a few words, with your so-called social skills, people will just agree with you? Life is precious and irreplaceable. Do you think people will just give in to you?" As Thalia spoke, a cold smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth. "And even if Natasha agrees, would Kenneth?" Thalia asked.

Spencer looked at her, suddenly at a loss for words.

"You have nothing more to say, right?" asked Thalia.

Spencer took a deep breath, then looked at her seriously. "No matter what you say, this is the truth!"

Thalia looked at him, her eyes suddenly filled with disappointment. "Spencer, do you see me as a capricious and immature person? Just because I'm a few years younger than you, does that mean I have to carry the label of immaturity for the rest of my life? Is that how it is, no matter what I do?"

Looking into her eyes, Spencer suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness that he couldn't put into words.

He had never encountered her with such a tone and expression before, which left him momentarily at a loss for words.

"Spencer, I admit that I owe you my life and you have taken care of me. You did take good care of me during those years, and for that, I am grateful." Thalia paused, seemingly lost in some emotion. After regaining her composure, she continued, "Don't forget about something, though. In the following years, you left without a word. I lived alone, searching for you all over the world, to the point of being deceived and eventually ending up in Darknetz..."

As she spoke, she looked up at him. "Do you have any idea what I've been through these past few years? Do you know how I've painstakingly climbed my way to where I am now, achieving the fame and success I have today?"

Spencer looked at her, not uttering a word, but his pitch-black eyes were filled with heartache.

Watching him remain silent, Thalia suddenly laughed. "You don't know any of that because you simply don't care!"

"Thalia-"

"Spencer, the driving force that kept me going all these years was to replace you. That's why I've been striving so hard, no matter what I've encountered, no matter how much pain I've endured, I know I can bear it all, just to be worthy of you. And now, with a single casual remark, you've dismissed all my efforts over these years. In your eyes, I'm forever just an immature child, never good enough for you!" Thalia stared at him, her eyes filled with hurt and devastation.

At that moment, it seemed she had come to terms with it, understanding that no matter how hard one tried, some outcomes simply couldn't be changed.

Lifting her gaze, Thalia wore an expression of hurt when she said, "You always stand on a pedestal of self-righteousness, claiming to know what's best for me, but you don't understand me at all."

With that, Thalia stared fixedly at him, then turned and walked away.

At that very moment, something within Spencer was inexplicably stirred.

He knew very well that she might truly walk away from him if he didn't seize this moment to hold on to her.

So, the moment Thalia turned around, Spencer suddenly stepped forward, embracing her directly from behind. Thalia was taken aback, her eyelashes quivering slightly.

Spencer embraced her from behind with his eyes closed and his cheek gently rubbing against her hair.

"Thalia, if I say that I understand everything, would you believe me?" Spencer asked after a long silence.

Thalia was indeed moved for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. In a low and aggrieved voice, she said, "I don't believe you..."

Spencer took a deep breath, whispering in her ear, "I know that whatever I say now won't make a difference, but Thalia, I'm just worried about you. I fear something might happen to you. To me, your well-being is more important than everything else!"

Thalia's eyes suddenly welled up with tears when she heard those words. However, she knew all too well what Spencer would say next.

Holding back her tears, she responded, "Spencer, you don't have to do this. You don't have to force yourself to do something because of that promise. I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself." Spencer held her tightly. "That's my promise to you. I don't feel wronged. On the contrary, I'm very happy. Making that promise to you will always be the best decision I'll ever make in my life.” Thalia was slightly taken aback and somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"

At that moment, Spencer gradually let her go, looking at her as he turned her around. His gaze was dark and serious. "That's because with that excuse, I can pester you at any moment for the rest of my life." Thalia's eyebrows furrowed just as she was about to ask something. Right then, Spencer suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

Thalia was stunned.

Even though there were a hundred thousand questions in her head, the moment Spencer's lips met hers, all her questions were answered. Nothing was more persuasive than that kiss.
