Alexei leaned lazily against the banister, his eyes smiling as he reached out his hand to her. “Let’s go.”

Natasha rushed over excitedly. “What took you so long?”

She was honestly speechless. This family was so scheming, even the little kids were full of tricks.

Alexei glanced at the twins, who looked guilty as sin.

He felt that they probably figured Natasha looked young and easy to fool, so they sent the kids over to fish for information.

He chuckled softly. “Alright, let’s go.”

Nobody was worth for him to stop for a chat. The whole room just watched in silence as they walked away.

In the car, Alexei turned to Natasha.

He asked, “So, what were you chatting about with them?”

Natasha put on a dead–serious face. “How to handle a spy crisis.”
