Kenneth glanced at Natasha. “I'll send you back. Even if Old Mr. Watson found out, he wouldn't say anything, so aren't you overreacting here?”
Was I overreacting? But there's not only Grandpa at home. The kids are there too. It was uncertain if they would meet, but Natasha did not want to take the risk.
While facing Kenneth, she wore a calm expression. “I'm fine now, so I can return on my own. Don't you have something to do? You can do whatever you have to. We should keep our distance.”
The more she declined him, the more Kenneth wanted to send her back.
“Are you worried about me or scared that your boyfriend would see us and misunderstand?” he questioned.
Natasha sighed. “It's the same thing.”
“Easy. Either he comes to fetch you, or I send you back. You decide,” he replied.
Kenneth was curious what kind of man would cause Natasha to be this protective.
She was speechless.
If I really have a boyfriend, I would've called him here to fetch me now.
Unfortunately, where would I find such a person?
Looking at Kenneth, she smiled. “Thank you for your help.”
He was speechless.
Natasha changed her stance faster than one flipping the page of a book.
Although she agreed, he was still a tad upset.
He stepped forward and stopped before her. “Natasha, just what kind of guy is he that you wouldn't let him show up?”
Since Kenneth was so sure that a “boyfriend” existed, Natasha had to make up one such person.
After giving it some thought, she said, “He's just too perfect.”
“What kind of perfect?” “He keeps a low profile, treats others sincerely, takes care of me, and is very loyal. All in all, he's completely different from you, so you wouldn't understand,” Natasha replied.
When she thought of her children, she was relieved that she taught them well, so they did not turn out to be like Kenneth.
He remained silent, feeling that all she said was meant to jab at him.
Kenneth sneered, “Oh? There's such a man in the world?”
“Of course! Don't think it's impossible just because you've never encountered such people. There are plenty like this out there, but probably none in your circle, so you think they don't exist.” Seeing as Kenneth's expression was grim, Natasha was somewhat delighted.
After so many years, she could tell him these without cursing at him. It was quite satisfying on her part.
Kenneth stared at her. “I'm getting more curious and want to meet him after you say all these.”
“In your dreams,” Natasha rejected his idea immediately.
“Why are you so afraid of me seeing him? Unless you made up everything you just said?” he guessed.
She shook her head. “No. He's just so good I'm scared you'll take him away from me.”
He was speechless since she sounded more irrational.
As he did not know if it was the truth, Kenneth looked at her. “It’s fine. I'll get to see him sooner or later anyway.”
Natasha looked nonchalant. As if!
As she finished most of her food, Kenneth picked up the bag left on the side and said, “Let's go if you're done eating.”
Despite him leaving first, Natasha did not think much of it. She got off the bed and wore her shoes before following him.
Although she looked haggard, she was still a
beautiful woman.
After walking out of the door, they met Fabian.
He informed Kenneth, “Mr. Hamilton, everything's settled.”
Kenneth replied, “Go back to the company first. I need to go somewhere else.”
“Sending Ms. Watson home? Should I do it instead?” Fabian offered.
“I'll be in your care,” Natasha chimed in immediately.
