At the sight of Kenneth's slight smile, Natasha pointed out, “You seem pleased.”
Kenneth lifted a brow, his spirits lifted, but still, he said in a miserable tone, “No, but I never thought it would affect you that much... To be honest, back then, she and I
Before he could finish his sentence, Natasha interrupted, “I don't like the letter C because I don't like to be reminded of my terrible past.” Then, after fixing her gaze on him, she continued, “Moreover, C is the first letter of the word 'cheater,' and the mistresses are shameful people, are they not?”
Just as she said that, Kenneth's eyes darkened.
Natasha went on, “That's why I've given the name starting with a C to the dog we have overseas. Its name is Chester.”
Kenneth was at a loss for words.
He could imagine how much Natasha
despised him when she named the dog.
Her words were spiteful, but Kenneth did not feel angry at all.
She said that she doesn't want to be reminded of her terrible past, so that means she has never forgotten about it. Doesn't that mean that I still affect her?
That thought was what saved him from having a downright foul mood.
Kenneth smiled as he looked at her. “Then will you think about that terrible past when you interact with your dog?”
“I've learned to let go of the matter after having to face it every day.”
“Is that so?”
Natasha knew what Kenneth was trying to find out. She flashed him a smile and replied, “Of course, but I've forgotten that you quite like this, Mr. Hamilton. I don't think you'll think the same way as I do.”
A grimace appeared on Kenneth's face. “Natasha, does it hurt you if you don't hurl personal attacks at me?”
“I'm just stating the facts,” Natasha corrected him, the smile still on her face.
For a moment, Kenneth was lost in his thoughts as he stared at her smile.
She was dissing him, but the smile on her face was such a sweet one. She had no makeup on her fair face, and her skin was as smooth as a baby's bottom. And her dark long hair was leisurely cascading down her sides.
She was absolutely attractive.
Sometimes, Kenneth found himself lost in a different world when he stared at her face.
Right then, he abruptly grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him.
Caught off guard, Natasha fell into his arms. When she lifted her head to look at him, she frowned.
“Kenneth, what are you doing?” It seemed as if there was a trace of discontentment in her pure eyes.
Kenneth continued staring at her for a long while before he finally whispered, “Natasha, I have to admit that I was a douchebag to you in the past, but the truth is that you've never really known who I am.”
Natasha narrowed her eyes, seemingly contemplating his words.
When her eyes flicked from one side to the other, Kenneth's heart skipped a beat.
He studied her from the top of her head to her button nose before finally stopping at her pink lips.
Kenneth gulped as his eyes darkened.
Just then, someone pushed open the door.
“Nat!” came Denise's voice from outside.
Natasha snapped back to her senses upon hearing her daughter's voice. After taking a glance at Kenneth, she instantly moved away from him.
However, Denise was already by the doorway; she had seen what Natasha was doing.
Uh... Are Daddy and Mommy kissing? Are things speeding up so quickly? Did I not come at the right time?
Right then, Natasha cleared her throat.
Unlike her, Kenneth seemed unfazed. Once he saw Denise, he smiled and said, “You're back, Denise.”
“I am!” Denise nodded stiffly as she tried to pretend to keep her cool.
She was now certain that she had returned at the wrong time.
But I don't think it's right of me to exit now.
Before she could dwell further on that, Terence and Liam entered the ward, arguing the entire way.
