Chapter 1070 Have You Lost Your Mind
Chapter 1070 Have You Lost Your Mind
“What did you say?” Thalia asked him in surprise.
“Didn’t I make myself clear, or you just don't understand?” Anthony asked as he looked at her.
Thalia took a deep breath. “I heard you loud and clear, and I understand perfectly. But I have no idea what's going on in your head. Have you lost your mind?”
“Do I look like I've lost my mind?”
“It doesn't look like it. That's why I asked you,” Thalia said.
Anthony looked at her. “I don't know if you'll believe me, but I have a strong intuition that what I'm looking for is there. I won't be satisfied until I go and see for myself.”
“But what if there isn't?”
“If there's nothing, then I've just made a fruitless trip, but there's no loss in that,” said Anthony.
Thalia looked at him and wanted to say something, but Anthony's gaze was incredibly resolute.
It seemed like if he did not make this trip, he would not be at peace.
After much thought, Thalia looked at him and said, “All right. I can accompany you on this trip. But you've just returned. Will your mom agree to this?”
“She will,” Anthony said.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes,” Anthony affirmed confidently, “Nat never interferes with what I do. Moreover, this is related to Daddy's reputation. If it can be clarified, it will be a good thing for our father. Therefore, Nat will not
stop me.”
Thalia looked at him. “All right. As long as Nat agrees, I'll accompany you on this journey.”
“Let's book the tickets first,” said Anthony.
“Sure.” Thalia pulled out her phone and asked, “For when?”
After a moment of contemplation, Anthony replied, “Tonight.”
What?
“Is there a need to be so hasty?”
“The longer I wait, the more changes there will be. I don't want to wait any longer. Besides, the sooner I leave, the sooner I can return,” Anthony said.
“But I...”
“We can leave a bit later tonight so as to give you time to say goodbye to Spencer,” Anthony said as he looked straight at her.
Her beautiful eyes were looking at him. Thalia wanted to deny something, but after thinking for a long time, she could not find the words to retort.
After a long while, Thalia nodded. “Fine.”
“After you book the tickets, send them to me,” said Anthony before he stood up and left immediately.
Watching his retreating figure, Thalia asked, “Where are you going?”
“Find Nat.”
“So swift and decisive?”
Without turning his head, Anthony said, “Don't pack too much. Travel light. The sooner we leave, the sooner we'll return.” With that, he walked straight out the door.
Thalia was still sitting by his computer. Watching his retreating figure, she sighed helplessly.
Just as she was deep in thought, her phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Spencer, she promptly answered, “Hello...”
When Anthony knocked and entered, Natasha was still reviewing the documents.
“Nat,” Anthony called out.
“Mm.” Natasha did not lift her head. She continued to look at the documents.
Upon seeing the situation, Anthony walked over. After he got closer and saw the documents in front of her, his brows furrowed. “Nat, what are you...?”
Upon hearing his voice, Natasha looked up at him. “Some company documents.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why are you looking at them?” Anthony asked.
Speaking of which, Natasha put down the documents. “It's nothing really. Your great-grandpa isn't in the best of health. I'm just looking into some company matters to help alleviate some of his worries.”
“Are you going to work at the company?” Anthony asked.
Natasha nodded. “You can say that.”
Anthony looked at her and was suddenly at a loss for words.
Looking at the peculiar expression on his palm-sized face, Natasha could not help but smile. “What kind of expression is that?”
Anthony was looking at her. “Nat, do you enjoy doing this?”
“It's not about my likes and dislikes. It's just something that needs to be done,” said Natasha.
A flicker of heartache suddenly passed through Anthony's eyes. “Nat, you clearly don't like doing these things...”
Natasha laughed. “I love to sleep, but I can't sleep all day, can I?”
“Nat, you know that's not what I meant.”
“I understand.” Natasha looked at him. “I do love computers and the virtual world, but I'm tired. I've spent the first half of my life investigating your granddad's death, so most of the time, I was filled with hatred. However, now that my great revenge is complete, I've long lost my initial passion. All I want now is to live the most peaceful life.”
“Really?” Anthony asked. He seemed to doubt Natasha.
“Otherwise? You thought I wanted to step back just to make things easier for you?” Natasha retorted.
Anthony did not speak, but his silence seemed to consent to this viewpoint.
Natasha laughed. “You're giving me too much credit. Even though you're my son, I don't have to give up what I love most for you. At the very least, we can be equals, can't we?”
Anthony remained silent with his lips tightly pressed together.
“I'm really tired,” Natasha said to him.
“In that case, I also hope you can do some things you enjoy.”
“I've spent the first half of my life tangled up in the pursuit of truth, so I'm not really sure what I truly like. But don't worry. I'll give it some thought in the days to come. Who knows... I might actually find something I enjoy?” As she spoke, Natasha held the documents and looked at him.
Anthony's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he looked at her.
“Indeed, after going through these materials, I've realized that running a company or a project isn't as simple as it seems. There are so many factors to consider and decisions to make. It's quite fascinating,” said Natasha.
Although he was not sure whether she was telling the truth or not, seeing her relaxed demeanor gradually put Anthony at ease.
Seeing Anthony remain silent, Natasha quickly changed the subject. “Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you need something from me?”
Speaking of which, Anthony's thoughts were brought back. He nodded at her. “Hmm.”
“What's the matter?”
“I want to go out for a bit,” Anthony said.
“Going out? Where to?”
“Epea.”
Upon hearing that, Natasha was slightly taken aback. “When?”
“Tonight.”
“In such a hurry?”
“I've found some clues about the matter, so I want to investigate further,” Anthony honestly stated.
“Who are you going with?”
“Thalia.”
Hearing that, Natasha nodded. “With her around, I do feel at ease.”
“So, Nat, you agree then?” Anthony asked.
Natasha looked at him. “You're now one of the leaders of a huge organization. What reason do I have to stop you?” She asked with a smile.
Anthony immediately rushed over and hugged her. “Nat, thank you.”
Natasha sat there and let Anthony hold her. After a while, she teased, “It seems I need to keep working hard. Only then can my son give me a big hug!”
“I'm just feeling a bit embarrassed. That's all.”
“So you're feeling comfortable now?”
“I realized it's not that hard,” Anthony said.
Hearing those words, a slight smile appeared on Natasha's lips. “Yes, love should be expressed bravely. There's nothing difficult or embarrassing about it. But if you don't express it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life,” she said.
