After careful consideration, Nelly advised Thalia, "Thalia, I think it's best not to jump to conclusions about certain matters."
Thalia turned her gaze towards the nearby Spencer with excitement in her eyes. She responded half-heartedly after hearing Nelly's words, "What matters?"
Nelly pondered on how to remind Thalia and then recalled Alpha Kilian's intense reaction when she casually asked him a question.
Seeing that Spencer was just an ordinary guy, Nelly couldn't bear to let Thalia continue misunderstanding him in this way. She decided to hope that Spencer would also lose control and prove his innocence.
With that thought in mind, Nelly smirked and said, "It's nothing. I just want to tell you that you know him better than me. You should be familiar with his character. He won't admit to liking you unless the situation is desperate. Maybe he's facing difficulties that are hard to communicate, so you should be mentally prepared."
At that moment, Thalia turned her head and smiled at Nelly. "I'm already prepared for a long-term battle. He promised not to push me away again, no matter what. So I'm not worried anymore, regardless of the reason. Having him by my side is more important than anything."
Nelly raised an eyebrow lazily. "He made that promise?" "Yes," Thalia responded cheerfully.
"Spencer is a man of his word. It seems like you're close to winning his affection," Nelly's words greatly boosted Thalia's confidence. "You think so too?"
"Yes," Nelly nodded.
"I think so too," Thalia happily chirped. It was clear that she genuinely felt happy.
Seeing her like this, Nelly also flashed a faint smile. "Alright then, I won't interrupt you from gazing at him anymore. I'm going back to rest."
Sensing Nelly's intent to leave, Thalia quickly followed her and grabbed her arm again. "Actually, I have something to talk to you about."
Having gotten used to Thalia's physical affection, Nelly looked at her. "What's the matter?"
"Let's go inside and order some drinks while we chat. What do you think?" Thalia suggested. "Aren't you going to talk to Spencer?" Nelly asked.
"Dealing with him requires patience and time, like running a marathon instead of a sprint. There's no hurry for that. I can take it slow. For now, your matter takes priority," Thalia explained.
Hearing this, Nelly furrowed her brows. "What about my matter?"
"Let's go in and talk," Thalia said, linking her arm with Nelly's and leading her inside. Nelly felt a hint of oddity as she noticed their arms intertwined.
She never expected to have such an intimate interaction with Thalia. However, she wasn't repulsed by the change in their relationship.
Looking at Thalia, Nelly slightly smiled.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Thalia turned to Nelly. "Do you want wine or coffee? Let's have a drink and chat."
"I'll have coffee," Nelly replied.
Thalia instructed the housekeeper, "Two cups of coffee." The housekeeper nodded and left.
Thalia commented, "I thought you'd want to drink alcohol." "Someone warned me not to lead you astray."
A strange expression appeared on Thalia's face. "Are you talking about Spencer?" Nelly raised her eyebrows but remained silent, neither confirming nor denying Thalia's guess.
"Did he really say that?" Thalia seemed delighted. "Yes!" Nelly confirmed.
Thalia's smile widened. "I didn't expect him to care so much about me!" "You should have anticipated that."
"He treated me really well before he unexpectedly left..." Thalia paused for a moment before continuing, "But never mind. It's all in the past now. What matters is the future!"
Nelly nodded in agreement.
Thalia was about to say something when the housekeeper returned with their coffee.
Thalia thanked the housekeeper and waited until she left. Leaning forward, Thalia whispered, "I heard you have a love rival now?"
"A love rival?" Nelly froze. "Who?"
Thalia furrowed her brows. "Why are you asking? You should know who I'm talking about. I heard she's quite young, just came of age?"
Nelly chuckled. "Are you talking about Alexia?" "Is that the girl's name?" Thalia asked.
"Yes, there is someone like that."
"I heard she's part of the DX Group?"
Nelly lazily arched her eyebrows. "Yes, that's correct." "Did Alpha Kilian go to the DX Group alone today?"
Nelly raised an eyebrow lazily. "Yes."
"Aren't you worried?" Thalia asked anxiously, surprised by Nelly's calm demeanor.
