You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1054 Men Never Age

Natasha was not the type of person who didn't know how to be grateful. On the contrary, she was well aware that if she sincerely thanked Thalia, Thalia would keep acting the same way. Therefore, that was the only way she could express her gratitude.

Although it might seem a bit ungrateful, Natasha didn't mind playing that role as long as she could stop Thalia.

Initially, she thought that by doing so, Thalia would be somewhat angry. But surprisingly, Thalia understood her.

Narrowing her eyes, Thalia gave Natasha a slight smile. “All right. I get it. You're tough. I'll try my best to restrain myself in the future, okay?”

“It's not about trying your best, it's about making sure it doesn't happen!” Natasha replied.

Thalia sighed helplessly. “All right. I promise!”

Upon hearing those words, Natasha finally nodded. Her gaze softened, and she felt a slight relief in her heart.

Without uttering another word, Natasha turned her head to look out the window.

At that moment, Denise looked at Thalia and whispered, “Thalia, don't blame Mommy. She didn't mean to blame you. She just doesn't want you to take risks for her. That's how Mommy is. She's touched deep down, but she never says nice things!”

Listening to Denise's explanation, Thalia smiled. Then, mimicking Denise's tone, she said, “If you can see it, don't you think I can?”

“So you're saying, you know?” Denise asked in a hushed tone.

“Of course I know!” Thalia said. “I also know that she doesn't speak kindly because she's afraid I'll take risks for her again!”

Denise kept nodding in agreement.

“Don't worry. Even though I haven't had many face-to-face encounters with Nat, I do understand her. She's not someone who doesn't know how to be grateful. On the contrary, she's someone who's very good at protecting others,” Thalia said softly, looking in the direction of Natasha.

Denise's eyes were filled with emotion when she said, “Thalia, you're so kind!”

Hearing the compliment, Thalia turned toward Denise. “How so?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“You understand Mommy, and you know what kind of person she is. You don't make unfounded assumptions about her, let alone think ill of her.”

“Is that all I need to do to be kind?”

“That's rare enough. When Nat was abroad, she had a decent colleague who stood up for her during tough times at work. But then, some things happened. Nat didn't want to drag this person into her problems, so she distanced herself. As a result, that person started to think less of Nat... But in reality, Nat was only trying to protect her from getting involved!”

Upon hearing this, Thalia slightly squinted her eyes. “Oh? Is that so?”

“Yes. Nat herself doesn't have many friends, but she was close to that colleague. But after that incident, that person started to distance herself from Nat, and Nat also stopped being close with her colleagues because of this...” Denise said with a hint of regret.

“Why didn't Nat explain herself?”

“Nat is just like that. She doesn't like to waste too much energy on something like that. She says, those who can understand, will understand even without explanation. But those who don't, even if explained, will be useless. She doesn't want to waste time explaining herself over and over again.”

Thalia listened and said, “That sounds exactly like Nat!”

“Exactly!” Denise exclaimed. “You're the first girl who truly understands her!” Her gaze was filled with surprise and delight as he spoke.

“Am I just an ordinary girl?” Thalia asked.

Denise immediately shook her head. “No. I shouldn't compare others to you!”

She's so sweet! Thalia was pleased. “That's right.”

Denise immediately flashed her a big, bright smile.

As they were chatting, Thalia suddenly remembered something. “I remember that after Nat came back, she was quite popular. She had a few male colleagues, right?”

“At first, things weren't going so smoothly with them, but then they realized they misunderstood Nat, so it turned out okay...” As she spoke, she looked at Thalia. “Since returning from abroad, Nat's personality has really improved a lot, much better than before!”

“In what way?”

Denise furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and said, “Let's put it this way. Aside from work and her computer, it seems like we're all that Nat has in her life... But things have changed since she returned. She has a life now, and she's gradually getting closer to her colleagues. At least things are back to normal!”

Thalia pondered for a moment and looked into Denise's eyes. “Do you know why Nat is like that?”

“Why?”

“Because she's not just anyone ordinary. She's the renowned Shadow Seeker. She's above everyone else, and no one understands her. Look at the kind of friends she has, they are all...” As she spoke, she turned to look at the man sitting beside him and added, “Her friends are all legendary figures. So, it's normal for others not to understand her!”

Listening to her words, Denise slightly squinted her eyes.

“Thalia, why do I get the feeling that you're praising yourself?” Denise looked at Spencer and continued, “And you even managed to compliment your boyfriend in the process. It seems like all the praise is directed at yourself.”

Spencer smiled modestly when he heard that.

Hearing that, Thalia raised an eyebrow. “Can you tell? Is it that obvious?”

Denise nodded repeatedly. “Yes! It's quite obvious!”

Thalia let out a sigh, casually remarking, “I'm not boasting. I'm just stating the facts. Don't you think Spencer is excellent? Or is it that you don't think of me, Lia, as excellent?”

Just as Denise was about to say something, Spencer, who was sitting beside her, slightly furrowed his brows and looked at her. “Wait... You have a nickname. Why don't I have one?”

Thalia withdrew her gaze and looked at him. “Is there a problem?”

Spencer grabbed her hand and said, “We're in a relationship, no? Why don't I get the same treatment?”

Hearing that, Thalia paused for a moment and responded, “That's because it would be inappropriate!”

“I...” Spencer hesitated, struggling to find the right words.

“I'm younger, so I can get a nickname. Are you going to deny me that?” Thalia asked with all seriousness.

Spencer looked at her. “Wouldn't it be inappropriate to address you that way?”

Thalia pondered for a moment. “How about we just let this matter slide? What do you think?”

Spencer took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over Denise. She promptly responded, “I'm okay with anything!”

Looking at Thalia, she had a face full of smiles.

At that moment, Spencer said word by word, “Just call me by my name. I can accept that!”

Thalia exclaimed, “That's so impolite!”

“I don't mind!” said Spencer.

Thalia thought such a difference in seniority couldn't be overlooked.

Seeing his persistence, Thalia turned to Denise, lowered her voice, and said, “See, this is how men are. Even when they're old, they still don't want to admit it...”
