Chapter 1071 How Is He So Skilled
Listening to Natasha's words, Anthony nodded heavily. “I understand, Nat. I will slowly change.”
Natasha reached out, gently patting his arm.
After a long while, Anthony finally let her go. As he looked into Natasha's eyes, his gaze was tinged with a hint of embarrassment.
Natasha did not call him out for it. Instead, she allowed him to gradually get used to it.
“Nat, if you're okay with it, I'll go back and pack my things now,” Anthony said, looking at her.
Natasha nodded. “Okay.”
“I'll be back soon,” said Anthony.
“All right.” Natasha nodded.
Just as Anthony was about to leave, Natasha suddenly remembered something and called out to stop him, “Anthony.”
Upon hearing the sound, Anthony turned to look.
Natasha hesitated for a moment before saying, “Don't tell your Great-grandpa and Gramps too much. Just say you're going to visit a friend and will be back soon.”
Anthony didn't understand why Natasha would suddenly say that, but he knew her well. He was aware that if she said something like this, there must be a reason behind it.
He paused for a moment, looking at her. “Nat, is there a problem?”
Natasha pondered briefly and said, “You are now the eldest great-grandchild of the Hamilton family. What do you think?”
It was as though Natasha hadn't said anything but also said it all.
In an instant, Anthony understood. He nodded slightly. “I understand now.”
Natasha looked at him with a knowing smile. “I knew you would understand.”
“Then I'll be taking my leave, Nat,” said Anthony.
Natasha nodded.
Anthony cast his gaze toward the person lying on the bed beside him. After a moment of hesitation, he walked over.
He gently placed his hand on top of Kenneth's.
“Daddy,” Anthony began softly, gazing at Kenneth's face. After a long pause, he finally said, “I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and clear your name.”
Natasha just stood by, watching without uttering a word.
After a long while, Anthony finally withdrew his hand and turned to walk away.
Watching his retreating figure, Natasha's gaze was thoughtful.
She knew that Anthony was growing up rapidly. There were things she simply couldn't stop, nor did she want to. All she could do was to ensure that he lived a life without regrets, doing what he wished to do.

Meanwhile, watching Thalia pack up her things, Spencer's brow furrowed. “You're leaving just like that?”
Thalia put down her backpack and looked back at him. “Yep!”
“When will you return?”
“Anthony simply said we'll be back soon, but as for when exactly...” She shook her head. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Spencer furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction at those words.
At that moment, Thalia lifted her wrist to check the time. “I have three hours left before my scheduled flight, but I need to get to the airport early. Is there anything you want to tell me?”
Spencer stared at her. “Be careful.”
“That's all?” Thalia asked.
Spencer nodded, “Yes.”
Thalia instantly felt a slight unhappiness in her heart, but she put on a facade of indifference on her face and nodded. “All right, I understand. I'll be leaving then.” Having said that, she made a move to walk out.
Spencer stood off to the side, a teasing smile playing on his lips. He watched as she stormed past him, her anger palpable. Then, in a sudden move, he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her from behind.
Thalia was momentarily stunned.
Feeling the warmth on her back, Thalia's mind became muddled. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she asked, “What are you doing?”
“I want to hug you.”
“You had nothing much to say, so why the hug?” Thalia asked.
“Just because I didn't say it doesn't mean there's nothing I want to do.” Spencer's deep and magnetic voice echoed in her ears.
His voice was incredibly soothing, akin to the low notes of a piano. Moreover, he was speaking right into her ear, which happened to be her sensitive spot. Feeling his breath, Thalia gently closed her eyes.
As she was fully immersed in the sensation, Spencer suddenly whispered in her ear, “Lia, you're leaving, but you didn't take your backpack...”
Upon hearing this, Thalia's eyes snapped open. The infatuation that had clouded her gaze just moments ago was now replaced with exceptional clarity.
Her ears also began to turn red.
At that moment, the soft laughter of Spencer echoed in her ears.
Thalia felt as if she had been toyed with. She spun around to look at him. “You—”
“What about me?”
She glared at him angrily. After a long while, Thalia finally spoke, “Thank you for the reminder!”
She was just about to reach for her bag, but in the next second, Spencer suddenly lifted her chin and kissed her lips.
Just as Thalia was about to struggle, Spencer swiftly restrained her with a backhand move. Holding her face with one hand, he kissed her gently yet dominantly.
Originally, Thalia was still fuming inside. However, as his agile tongue explored her lips and teeth, gradually, her anger dissipated, and her knees began to grow weak.
After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, Spencer finally let her go.
“What should I do? I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a moment,” Spencer asked, looking into Thalia's eyes. His gaze was filled with deep affection.
Upon hearing that, Thalia retorted playfully, “Only a fool would believe you.”
Spencer directly placed her hand on his chest. “Believe it or not, you'll know if you ask him.”
Even though there was still a hint of displeasure in her heart, at this moment, all she could think of was his gentle demeanor. Thalia had long stopped holding any grudges.
“I'll go with you!” Spencer suddenly said.
Thalia looked up at him. “Really?”
“Yes!” Spencer nodded, then lowered his voice. “I don't want to be apart from you.”
“Then what about Natasha?” Thalia asked.
“She...”
“You are needed here more than with me,” Thalia said.
Spencer sighed helplessly. “Do you think I would bother discussing this with you if it weren't for this?”
At that moment, Thalia looked at him and smiled. “All right, I understand your intentions, but she really needs your help here. As long as Kenneth remains unconscious, she continues to put on a
brave front. Although she's leaving things up to fate now, your presence here still offers some hope.”
Her words were not without reason.
Moreover, Spencer knew well that now was the time when Natasha needed help the most, and he simply couldn't leave.
“What about you?” Spencer asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Will you be okay if I'm not by your side?” Spencer questioned.
Thalia laughed. “All these years, you weren't by my side either, yet wasn't I doing just fine?”
Spencer reached out, drawing her slender waist into his embrace. “It's precisely because we've been apart for so many years that I can't bear to let you leave my side for even a moment!”
When Spencer started speaking sweet nothings, it turned out he could be sweet enough to melt one's heart.
Upon hearing this, a smile involuntarily crept up to the corners of Thalia's mouth. “Such a smooth talker!”
“Am I?”
“Yes.”
“Do you want to experience it again?” Spencer asked.
Before she could react, Spencer leaned in once again, pressing his lips against hers.
This man! How is he so skilled!
