    Chapter 906 Less Likely To Break Up


    Thalia gaped at him in disbelief. “Do you even know what you''re saying, Spencer? It has nothing to do


    with me, you said? How could it possibly have nothing to do with me? You did it for my sake. Logically


    speaking, it''s impossible for me to stay out of it!”


    Spencer lowered his gaze, his face still devoid of emotion. “I once said I would protect and take care of


    you forever. That was my promise to you. I''m merely fulfilling my vow. You really don''t need to make so


    many excuses for yourself.”


    Thalia was promptly stunned.


    It''s fine even if he''d said that he did it to keep me alive. But why did he say such a thing now?


    She looked at him with her eyebrows furrowed slightly. “What do you mean by that, Spencer?”


    “It means exactly what you think it does,” Spencer replied.


    Thalia stared at him nkly, her eyes carrying a hint of contempt and mockery. “Are you saying


    everything you''ve done for me is because of a promise you made when we were young? Is your


    treatment of me just out of a sense of duty andmitment?” Thalia asked, enunciating each word.


    Pursing his lips, Spencer remained silent.


    Thalia suddenlyughed, her voiceced with derision and self-deprecation. “I thought you had feelings


    for me. But it now seems that I was reading too much into things.”


    Spencer''s hands that hung by the sides of his body clenched into fists.


    After waiting for a moment without any rebuttal from him, Thalia knew that she had indeed been


    deriding herself.


    “It looks like I''ve forced you into all of this. Don''t worry, for I won''t do so anymore. And you don''t need to


    fulfill any d*mn responsibilities or obligations because of a promise you made when we were young,


    Spencer. I don''t need it. Our rtionship was nothing more than a chance encounter between


    strangers anyway. If I hadn''t pestered you, we wouldn''t have been acquainted for so long... From now


    on, let''s pretend none of this ever happened. I won''t bother you again!” With that, Thalia took onest


    look at him before turning around and walking away.


    When Thalia stepped out, Denise was standing right at the door. She did not arrive all that early and


    had only heard thetter part of the argument.


    At the sight of hering out, Denise frowned. “Thalia.”


    However, Thalia did not say a word, leaving with brisk steps.


    Following that, Denise shifted her gaze to Spencer. He stood rooted to the spot, clenching his hands at


    his sides so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.


    Denise looked at him. “You''ve truly hurt Thalia, Spencer.” After saying that, she likewise whirled around


    and sprinted in the direction where Thalia left.


    Only when everyone had left did Spencer gradually unclench his fists.


    His palms were all marred by the indents of his nails digging into the flesh.


    By the time Denise raced out, Thalia was already nowhere to be found.


    She darted her eyes around, but nothing was in sight.


    At that precise moment, Benjamin happened toe out of the house. Seeing that she was seemingly


    searching for something in the yard, he walked over. “What are you looking for, Denise?”


    Hearing his voice, Denise turned around. “Quick,e help me, Ben.”


    “What''s wrong?”


    With a sigh, Denise said, “I don''t even know where to begin. All I know is that Spencer and Thalia just


    had a fight. Thalia stormed out, and I can''t find her anywhere now.”


    At her words, Benjamin''s brows furrowed. “They fought again?”


    “Yeah!”


    “It''s okay. All couples fight. It''s perfectly normal,” Benjamin assured.


    “But it''s serious this time,” Denise countered. “From what Thalia implied, it feels like they''re never going


    to associate with each other again.”


    Benjamin adopted an air of sagacity and began, “When couples fight, it often seems like they''re


    breaking up for real. But when have they ever truly done so? It''s surprising that you, an actress, can''t


    even tell. Let me tell you this—the more intense they fight, the less likely they are to break up. On the


    contrary, it''s those who say nothing at all who are really heartbroken and want to end things.”


    Listening to his words, Denisebined them with everything she had seen in television series and


    concluded, “That truly seems to be the case.”


    “It''s precisely the case.”


    “But Thalia looked really upset.”


    “She has weathered many storms in life, but when ites to rtionships, shecks experience. A


    few more trials would do her good.”


    “But—”


    “Trust me. Everything will be fine,” Benjamin said.


    After a moment of thought, Denise nodded. “All right, then.”


    “At this moment, she must be sulking somewhere in secret. Once she''s done venting, she''lle to


    grips with things!” Benjamin analyzed confidently. But then, he suddenly turned to Denise. “Who''s to


    me for the fight?”


    Denise''s brows furrowed. “I''m not entirely sure about the specifics. By the time I arrived, they were


    already arguing fiercely. From what I gathered, it seemed to be Spencer who was at fault. It appeared


    that he had no feelings for Thalia.”


    “No feelings for her?” Benjamin narrowed his eyes. “That''s impossible.”


    “Thalia asked him outright, but Spencer didn''t deny it, so Thalia just took it for the truth,” Denise said.


    Benjamin thought for a moment. Then, he could not help but click his tongue, saying, “How arrogant of


    Spencer to act as he pleases just because he''s somewhat good-looking. He has no feelings for her,


    huh? No one would believe that. When Thalia got off the helicopter covered in blood, he was frantic


    and wouldn''t even allow anyone to touch her. What was that if not love?”


    Upon reflection, Denise suddenly eximed with an enlightened expression. “That''s right! How could I


    have forgotten about that?”


    “Even though I''m not sure why Spencer said what he did, I''m absolutely certain that he likes Thalia.


    There must be something he''s afraid to admit... Well, whatever it is, it doesn''t matter. The day wille


    when Thalia grows tired of ying this game with him, and that''s when Spencer will have something to


    worry about.”


    Hearing that, Denise nodded in agreement. “Exactly.”


    As she spoke, she looked at Benjamin. “Who would have thought you''re the silent but wise type, Ben!”


    With a proud quirk of his eyebrow, Benjamin gazed at her and said, “I didn''t expect you, an expert in


    idol dramas, to be so clueless about such a matter.”


    “I...” Denise wanted to argue, but she abruptly paused. “That''s because I''ve got something on my


    mind.”

    “What''s on your mind?” Benjamin asked. “Speak up. I''ll help you with it.”


    Right then, Denise looked up at him. “Ben, don''t you think Nat is...” She struggled to find an appropriate


    adjective but to no avail, even after a long time had passed. In the end, she could only say awkwardly,


    “Don''t you think she''s acting very strangely?”


    Speaking of that, the smile on Benjamin''s face faded slightly. “You noticed it too?”


    Denise nodded.


    “It''s not just Nat, but also Daddy and Tony,” Benjamin said with his eyes fixed on her.


    Upon hearing that, Denise nodded in agreement. “Yes, you''re right. It feels like they''re keeping some


    secret from us.”


    Benjamin fell deep in thought. He initially thought that it was only his impression, but since Denise had


    said the same then, it was clearly not just his figment of imagination.


    “I''m not worried about them keeping some secret from us. What concerns me is that Nat has suddenly


    lost so much weight. There must be a problem. It''s definitely not as simple as her being on a diet,”


    Benjamin murmured, his gaze growing increasingly indecipherable.
