Chapter 252


    “Am Ite?” Sharon asked, walking in.


    She was just wearing an ordinary long dress, but after years of experience in the entertainment


    industry, she still exuded a gorgeous vibe.


    Denise greeted her joyfully, “Sharon, you''re finally here! We were just about to cut the cake!”


    Sharon looked at her and said, “I came right after the shooting ended, and I didn''t even have time to


    pick up the gift. Jessica will bring it over in a while!”


    “Oh, that doesn''t matter. I''m already happy that you came!” uttered Denise.


    Pinching Denise''s cute cheek, Sharon remarked, “How sweet of you!”


    “Come! Come!” Denise then pulled her further in.


    On the other side, Natasha was slightly relieved the moment she saw Sharon.


    Keh, who was beside her, could feel the difference in her. He leaned into her ear and asked in a


    low voice, “What''s the matter? What are you worried about?”


    Looking at him, Natasha raised her eyebrows slightly. “Take a guess.”


    “Is someone elseing?” asked Keh, with his dark eyes looking at her, full of certainty.


    Natasha was stunned for a moment. Keh was indeed very keen, and it was not easy to hide


    some things from him.


    She hoped that Spencer would avoid showing up after he read the message.


    Seeing that Sharon hade, Liam thought everyone had arrived. Hence, he began to arrange the


    ns again.


    Just then, Anthony looked at Natasha and queried, “Oh right, Nat, didn''t you say that a friend is


    coming, and you want to introduce us? Where is that friend?”


    Hearing that, everyone looked at her.


    “Maybe something happened, and my friend can''te anymore,” Natasha replied lightly, still


    hoping that Spencer saw her message.


    “Oh, okay, then,” said Anthony, not minding it.


    “Who said I can''te?” A man''s low voice suddenly sounded at the door. Then, an elegant figure


    slowly walked in.


    Hearing that voice, Thalia, who wasughing with Benjamin, instantly stiffened. She stood rooted as


    though she was struck by lightning.


    Did I hear it wrong? This voice... Could it be him?


    Everyone immediately looked toward the door, spotting Spencer in ck attire, his hair loose. A


    faint, charming smile stered across his delicate face.


    “I just came a littlete to pick up the presents. Who said I couldn''te?” Spencer joked and


    walked in.


    Looking straight at the triplets, he approached them and introduced himself, “Hello, birthday boys


    and girl. My name is Spencer Teal. I have been friends with your mother for over ten years. I''ve


    been wanting to meet you guys, and I finally got the chance now!”


    Spencer''s appearance could indeed rival that of a woman''s.


    His lips were red, his teeth white, and he looked charming. He had tender skin and a pair of long


    and narrow eyes that could capture people''s souls.


    Looking at him, Denise remarked in a daze, “You look so beautiful!”


    Spencer was stunned for a moment. Although he preferred to be praised for being handsome rather


    than beautiful, he seemed to have gotten used to it after so long.


    stering a smile, he replied, “Thank you, but if it can be changed to being handsome, I''ll be


    happier!”


    “You''re also handsome. You''re handsome and beautiful!” Denise replied smilingly.


    Denise was unrivaled for being honey-tongued. Everyone would always be delighted after hearing


    herments.


    Spencer raised his eyebrows. “Thank you. You''re much cuter and kinder than your mother.”


    He was infinitely tolerant toward children, and with Natasha as aparison, he knew that her


    children would surely be like her.


    As he made thatment, Spencer threw a sarcastic look at Natasha.


    Thetter didn''t speak as she stared at Thalia, motioning Spencer to look in the same direction.


    Spencer didn''t realize anything yet, but after so many years of being her friend, he could read her.


    Hence, he shifted his gaze toward Thalia.


    At that moment, Thalia gradually


    turned around.


    The moment he saw her, the smile on Spencer''s face instantly froze as a hint of perplex shed


    across his eyes.


    Thalia didn''t say anything. She just stared at him as she balled her hands into fists.


    Her eyes were filled with resentment, hatred, and uneptance.


    Spencer''s heart was palpitating. Initially, he thought he could remain calm and unperturbed upon


    seeing her. However, right at this moment, he found he had overestimated himself.


    Withdrawing his gaze, he subconsciously looked at Natasha, who frowned helplessly.


    There''s no way Natasha would do this on purpose. Things must have gone wrong.


    Looking away, he remarked, “I suddenly remembered I have something else to do, so I''ll be leaving


    now.”


    With that, he turned around and left before anyone could say a word.


    It all happened abruptly, which made everyone confused.


    Looking at him, Thalia hollered, “Stop!”


    Spencer was stunned for a while before picking up his pace and left. He looked as if he was fleeing


    in a panic.


    “I said stop, Spencer!” Thalia bellowed, but Spencer had no intention of stopping. Aware that the


    man was trying to escape again, Thalia got to her feet and chased after him.


    “You''re such a coward, Spencer!”


    With Thalia chasing him, Spencer ran faster.


    As the two left, everyone looked at each other.

    What just happened ?


    Even Anthony was looking at Natasha in puzzlement. “What''s going on, Nat? Does your friend know


    Thalia?”


    Natasha didn''t know what to reply. After all, the situation was tooplicated to be exined. As


    she pondered for a moment, she looked at them and responded, “I''ll go check on them.” With that,


    she got up and went outside.


    Uneasy of letting her go outside alone, Keh chirped, “I''ll go with her. You guys stay here.”


    When he also took his leave, Anthony looked at Benjamin and Denise.


    The trio was seeminglymunicating with each other through their gazes.


    By the time Natasha was outside, Spencer and Thalia were no longer in sight.


    Looking around, she still couldn''t see them. She then took out her phone and called Spencer, but


    thetter didn''t pick up.


    Right then, Keh saw her and walked toward her.


    “Is this what you''ve been worrying about the whole day?”


    Raising her head, Natasha looked at Keh, not denying it.


    Seeing that she had no intention of exining, Keh didn''t pursue the matter. Instead, he just


    uttered, “Let them solve their affairs by themselves. Them meeting each other is fate, right?”


    Natasha stared at the man''s flickering eyes as thoughts of them appeared in her mind. That''s right.


    Weren''t we like this as well?


    Thinking of that, Natasha could not help but smile.


    “We should head back. The kids are still waiting to cut the cake,” said Keh, grabbing her hand


    and going back.


    When they were in the hall, several tall and muscr foreign men were walking in their direction.


    They were wearing ck T-shirts. They didn''t look any special, but as the two walked past them,


    Natasha suddenly noticed the tattoo on one of the men''s arms.


    That made her stop in her tracks.


    If Natasha remembered correctly, the tattoo was exactly the same as the one on her father''s


    shoulder.


    Turning around, Keh looked at her. “What''s wrong?”


    Not responding to him, Natasha shook his hand off, turned around, and rushed outside.
