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

Chapter 1044 Holden Led Men Over To Intercept

“Was that the only reason?” Kyle asked. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“If not?” Spencer retorted, then chuckled softly. “I'm not sure if you all know the whole story between Thalia and me or only know that she'd been looking for me for many years. I knew her long before any of you did.”

Hearing that, Kyle was slightly taken aback. He turned his gaze to Thalia.

At that moment, Thalia divulged, “It was him who brought me out of that hellish place back then. He was also the one who treated my wounds and took care of me for a long time.”

Kyle was promptly at a loss for words.

Undeniably, they didn't know that.

Looking at Thalia, he suddenly felt that he had been a bit too impertinent.

When Spencer glimpsed Kyle's clueless expression right then, the discomfort within him just now finally dissipated slightly.

“During the time when Thalia was looking for me, I always knew where she was and who she was working for.” While saying that, Spencer suddenly recalled something. He looked at the man and asked, “By the way, do you remember the mission you guys had in Alendor three years ago?”

Speaking of which, Kyle narrowed his eyes a fraction. “What are you trying to say?”

“At that time, a plague broke out there. Your members were greatly affected, but they were cured quickly afterward. Haven't you ever wondered about it?” Spencer asked, his eyes still fixed on the man.

Kyle was silent for a few seconds.

Meanwhile, Thalia cut her eyes at Spencer. “How did you know about that?”

“Because I was there at that time,” Spencer enunciate, holding her gaze.

Thalia was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to register the meaning of it. “So... it was you who cured us?”

Spencer didn't deny it. “Since then, all my friends knew about it. If they encounter someone from Darknetz, they would be the first to rescue the person.” As he spoke, he looked at Thalia, “I asked them to do this, fearing that something might happen to you.”

Thalia looked at him, words eluding her for a long time. “Why have you never told me about this?”

“There's nothing much to say. As long as you're well, none of this matters.”

“How silly. Have you ever considered that we wouldn't announce our identities when on a mission? How would your friends recognize us?” Thalia asked.

Just then, Spencer suddenly traced a tattoo on her arm.

The tiny pattern resembling a symbol was so subtle that it was impossible to discern without looking carefully.

He didn't say anything, but Thalia understood instantly.

So, he knew that I'd been looking for him all these years. Therefore, he has also been keeping an eye on me all along...

Staring at him, Thalia abruptly fell silent.

She wanted to say something, but the words on the tip of her tongue got stuck in her throat.

Spencer looked at Thalia, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. “I knew all along. I've always known.”

“You knew, yet you still avoided me. You really have a heart of stone, Spencer!” Thalia scowled at him, both vexed and touched inwardly.

If he hadn't said all this today, I probably wouldn't have known about it in my lifetime.

“Also, just how many secrets are you still keeping from me?” Thalia demanded, staring him in the eye.

“That should be all for now.”

Looking at him, Thalia turned things over in her mind repeatedly. Ultimately, she forcibly suppressed the impulse within her.

I'll talk about this with him further when we get back tonight!

Throughout it all, Kyle observed them. From Spencer's gaze to his words and actions, it was clear that his feelings for Thalia were genuine.

Even though he didn't know what exactly transpired between them, he could tell that Spencer was not the one who sacrificed less in the relationship.

Following thought, he feigned a cough.

Consequently, the couple retracted their gazes on each other and turned their eyes to him.

Nonchalant, he met their gazes. “Indeed, several Doctors Without Borders saved our members when they were in danger a few times during missions. Someone even asked them if they were

from Darknetz. We didn't understand what was going on previously, but now, we know.”

Spencer merely looked at him without saying anything.

While he was on the legitimate path, his aura was far from weak.

One was the epitome of elegance, while the other exuded dominance. Surprisingly, they complemented each other well.

“Thank you for your assistance to the members of Darknetz,” Kyle said, his gaze fixed on him. “But let's be clear on this. I don't know much about your relationship with Thalia, Mr. Teal. But regardless of whether you knew her before I did or whatever the case may be, she is now part of Darknetz. Darknetz is her family. We don't object to you two being together, but if you ever mistreat her, I, along with the entire Darknetz, won't let you off the hook!”

At his words, Spencer's lips curved into a smirk. He then placed his hand right on Thalia. “Don't worry. You won't have that chance.”

“I don't wish for such an opportunity either, but Mr. Teal, I assure you that I'm not just saying this for the sake of it.”

“Understood.” Spencer nodded.

He allowed them, as members of Thalia's family, to threaten him.

As long as it was for her benefit, he had no qualms accepting it.

Kyle looked at Thalia. They had known each other for several years now. Apart from when they were on missions, they were almost always together, chatting and discussing matters.

They were inseparable.

Instead of colleagues or friends, they were like family to each other long before they realized it.

Hence, everything that had to do with Thalia concerned him as well.

Seeing her settle down with a good man, he rested much easier.

“All right, today's meeting has been a success.” While speaking, Kyle turned to Spencer and extended his hand once more. “Let me formally welcome you into the fold, Mr. Teal.”

At that, Spencer likewise reached out and shook his hand.

“Be good to our Thalia.”

“It's my Thalia,” Spencer amended.

Kyle was taken aback for a moment before he chuckled.

Listening on the sidelines, Thalia was very much delighted.

“Oh, come on, enough with that. You two are making me blush,” said Thalia. Then, she glanced around. “Why hasn't Holden arrived yet? Who has ever heard of an assessor being this late?”

“I'll give him a call.” As Kyle said that, he took out his phone to call Holden.

However, the call remained unanswered for a long time after connecting.

At that, Kyle's brows furrowed. “No one's answering. He must be almost here.”

“Okay, then. We'll wait a little longer,” said Thalia.

“What time is the flight in the afternoon?” Kyle asked.

Thalia glanced at her watch. “Twenty minutes to six in the afternoon. After meeting with you, I'll have to leave almost immediately. They are packing up right now.”

Upon hearing that, Kyle nodded.

Just then, his phone rang.

“It's Holden,” Kyle said, picking up his phone and answering the call.

“Hello.”

But after he heard the words from the other end of the phone, his brows abruptly furrowed. In a low voice, he urged, “Don't do anything impulsive, Holden.”

Thalia was eating salad when she heard this and looked up at him.

“Holden?” Kyle repeated, but the call had already been abruptly ended.

Thalia looked at him. “What's wrong? What happened?”

Kyle wore a somber expression. “Holden somehow got wind that Kenneth is leaving today and led men over to intercept him.”

Following his words, Thalia's eyes promptly widened.
