Kenneth glanced at her and nodded.
Pursing her lips, Natasha pondered for a moment before saying, “Okay. Be safe.”
“Aren't you going to ask me where I'm going to?” asked Kenneth as he quirked his brow.
“So, where are you going?”
“Nat, the order is completely wrong. You should've taken the initiative to ask me first,” commented Kenneth.
“But don't men hate being questioned and controlled?” Natasha countered.
“That applies to other men, not me. I like being controlled by you,” said Kenneth.
That put a smile on Natasha's face. Nodding, she said, “Okay, I'll ask you in the future. Don't you say I'm annoying when I do that.”
“How could I when it's exactly what I want?” With that, Kenneth pulled her into his embrace again and murmured into her ears, “I'll never find you annoying.”
Natasha merely smiled without saying a word.
After remaining in that position for some time, Kenneth finally released her. “I'm going out with Dave to deal with some matters. You should get some rest since it's going to take some time. Don't stay up and wait for me, okay?”
Natasha nodded in response. “All right.”
“One more thing. Remember to finish the supplements,” Kenneth reminded.
Natasha could not help but sigh heavily at the mention of that. “Okay.”
“You don't have to bother about other matters. Someone will take care of you on my behalf,” Kenneth added.
In response, Natasha glanced at him with a look of exasperation.
Right then, Kenneth's phone rang. When he fished it out of his pocket and saw the caller ID, he said, “I've got to go now.”
“Be careful,” reminded Natasha.
“Hmm... Is that all?” asked Kenneth mischievously.
Natasha knitted her brows in confusion. She was not feigning it, for she truly didn't know what else he was waiting for.
Seeing that, Kenneth stepped forward, cupped the back of her head, and gave her a domineering kiss that lasted for more than ten seconds.
Finally, he released her and gazed at her with those pitch-black eyes. “Do you get it now?”
“Yup,” Natasha answered with a chuckle.
Only then did Kenneth put on a satisfied smile and walk away.
The smile on Natasha's face remained even as she watched him leave. She did not return to the house until his figure disappeared from her sight.
Just then, Denise came up and said, “Hehe! I told you. Daddy will definitely nag Nat.”
“Why does Daddy behave like a completely different person?” Benjamin frowned.
Anthony, too, furrowed his brows. “Unbelievable.”
The trio's conversation made Natasha arch her brow. Before she could even say anything, Denise demanded, “There, there. Don't be sore losers and pay up.”
The boys took out some money and stuffed them into Denise's hand reluctantly.
Nodding happily, Denise stuffed the notes into her bag.
Natasha frowned at them in puzzlement. “What were you guys betting on?”
At that, Denise looked up at Natasha and explained, “We made a bet on whether Daddy would remind you to take the supplements.” A satisfied smirk formed on her lips as she spoke.
“Tsk. You three are getting more childish by the day.” With that, Natasha turned around, only to find the housekeeper holding a bowl while staring at her.
She was momentarily stunned, but she feigned ignorance and continued making her way upstairs.
Natasha's actions surprised Denise, who hurriedly ran after her mother. “Nat, no matter what you say, you still have to drink it. It's Daddy's instructions.”
