Chapter 1072 How Easily The Lies Come


    An hourter.


    Thalia''s phone chimed. It was a message from Anthony.


    She spoke softly, “It''s time. I have to go now.”


    Spencer continued holding her from behind tightly, with no intention of letting go.


    Thalia twisted around to look at the person behind her and murmured, “I really have to go now.”


    In response, Spencer could only sigh helplessly. “This Anthony really is tenacious. You''ve just got


    back, and he''s already trying to whisk you away again.”


    Unexpectedly, upon hearing those words, Thalia immediately said, “Those who aplish great


    things are always very tenacious.”


    Spencer''s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that. “What, are you defending him?”


    Thalia immediately rified, “I was just telling the truth.”


    Spencer reached out, pulling her toward him once again. Hisrge hand rested on the small of her


    back, drawing her closer. His tone was suggestive as he leaned in. “But why does it sound like


    you''re ming me?”


    The two of them were nose to nose, so close that they could even feel each other''s breath. The faint


    scent of tobo on him made Thalia''s mind grow hazy.


    She murmured, “I''m not...”


    Spencer peppered light kisses on her lips. Then, he whispered into her ear, “Remember, from now


    on, you can only stand up for me.”


    Hearing that, Thaliaughed. “Are you jealous?”


    “Clearly, I am.”


    “But you''re jealous of the wrong person. Who would be jealous of a child?” Thalia murmured, eyes


    closed as she asked.


    Spencer''s gaze was focused on her. “I can''t be jealous of someone that doesn''t exist.”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Have you ever looked at anyone else but me?” Spencer retorted.


    Upon hearing this, even though it was the truth, Thalia couldn''t help but feel that he was somewhat


    narcissistic. She looked at him, her eyebrows furrowing. “How do you know that I haven''t? Besides,


    all the men around me are top-tier handsome.”


    “Are you referring to Kyle, Holden, or those brothers of yours from Darz?” Spencer asked.


    Thalia said, “Apart from them, I also know other people.”

    “Are you referring to the man who confessed his love to you three years ago, only to be beaten by


    you until he was left searching for his teeth?” Spencer questioned..


    Thalia shot him a surprised look. “How do you know about that?”


    Spencer merelyughed. “How I know isn''t important. What''s important is you rejected him!”


    Thalia suddenly became alert. She knew that Spencer had been keeping a close eye on her these


    past few years, but she never imagined that he would know even these things.


    Looking at him, an indescribable coolness suddenly filled her eyes “You—”


    Before she could finish her words, Spencer pulled her into his arms again. Nothing else mattered;


    what was important was that she was here with him now, in his arms. She was his.


    Thalia wanted to ask something else, but just then, her phone chimed again.


    She knew that it was Anthony urging her to hurry up.


    Atst, Spencer let her go. “All right, it''s gettingte. I''ll walk you out.”


    “No need.” Thalia half rose, watching him as she declined his offer.


    “Why?”


    “I don''t like the sight of you watching me leave. I prefer the sight of youing to greet me when I


    return,” Thalia said as she looked at him.


    Spencerughed. “All right.”


    And so, without any further ado, Thalia promptly stood up and put on her coat.


    As she picked up her backpack, ready to leave, the person lying on the bed spoke. “How long?”


    Upon hearing the question, Thalia turned to look at him. “I don''t know.”


    Spencer sighed morosely. “All right then. I guess I''ll just have to wait for you at home.”


    Thaliaughed. She walked over before her slender and fair hand gently caressed his face. “Be


    good and wait for me toe back. I''ll let you have something delicious then,” she said.


    At that moment, a glint shed in Spencer''s eyes. “Something delicious?”


    “Right!”


    “Okay!” Spencer nodded. “Then I''ll be waiting.”


    Thalia looked at him with an incredibly innocent gaze and smiled. “All right, I''m leaving now.”


    Spencer hummed in acknowledgment.


    At that moment, Thalia leaned in, kissing his lips lightly. “I love you.”


    Spencer didn''t say anything more. Thalia, on the other hand, got up and walked straight toward the


    outside.


    Spencer was half-lying on the bed, watching her silhouette, his gaze filled with an indescribable


    complexity.


    ...


    Anthony was leaning against the corridor wall, waiting.


    When Thalia opened the door and spotted him, she was stunned. “What are you doing here?”


    “If you hadn''te out soon, I was going to knock on the door,” Anthony warned her, looking at her


    intently.


    Thalia''s eyes darted around guiltily as she muttered under her breath, “What''s the rush? Isn''t it still


    early?”


    “Traffic tends to build up during this time, so we need to set off early!” Anthony said.


    “Oh. I''m not from around here, so I''m not very familiar with the traffic conditions,” Thalia exined.


    Anthony did not press the matter further as the two of them walked out side by side. Suddenly,


    Anthony shot her a sideways nce. “What''s the matter? Can''t bear to part with him?”


    Thalia was taken aback for a moment before she denied it, saying, “What are you talking about?


    That''s not true at all!”


    “Spencer must be cursing me behind my back, right?” Anthony spected.


    Thalia was lost for words and didn''t respond.


    “You two are in the honeymoon phase right now, and here I am trying to separate you. Spencer


    probably wants to punch me,” Anthony muttered.


    Even though that was the truth, Thalia couldn''t outright admit to it.


    “Not at all. Spencer isn''t that kind of person. He''s not as narrow-minded as you think!” Thalia


    denied.


    “This is human nature. How can it be considered narrow-minded?”


    “No matter what it is, he''s not like that. Besides, serious matters always take precedence. I would


    never let romance interfere with important affairs!” Thalia said.


    Observing her serious demeanor, Anthony chuckled. “All right, I understand.”


    With that, the two individuals headed downstairs.


    Just as they were about to leave, Terence happened toe out from the inside, unexpectedly


    running into them.


    Upon seeing Anthony carrying a bag and with Thalia apanying him, Terence''s eyebrows


    furrowed. “What is this about...”


    Anthony and Thalia exchanged a nce, and then Anthony asked, “Gramps, where have you


    been? Why did youe back sote?”


    “I was taking a stroll outside. What about you all? Where are you heading thiste?” Terence asked,


    scrutinizing them. After noticing their backpacks, he knew they were setting off for a long journey.


    Just as Anthony was about to say something, he suddenly remembered Natasha''s request. After a


    moment of thought, he uttered, “We need to go out to handle some matters.”


    “Go out? Where?” Terence asked.


    “Thalia''s friend''s house,” Anthony lied without skipping a beat.


    Thalia stood by, remaining silent.


    Terence frowned. “But why would you go to someone else''s friend''s house?”


    “Thalia''s friend has a child who is somewhat autistic. He would only asionally chat with me, so


    they wanted me to go over and see if I could get him to open up a bit more,” Anthony said.


    Thalia was rendered speechless at how easily the lies rolled off Anthony''s tongue.
