The two overheard the conversation behind them clearly.
Natasha didn't display any emotions on her face, but her action of holding onto Kenneth's arm spoke volumes about her feelings.
Natasha believed actions spoke louder than words. She preferred to use subtle tactics to get rid of other people's ideas rather than engage in verbal arguments.
Bickering and talking endlessly was a waste of time, and Natasha disliked it. She preferred a straightforward approach like what she did.
Kenneth, however, was a little displeased. He had intended to confront her about her reaction once they were back home, but her act of holding his arm made him abandon that idea instantly as she had not only asserted her dominance but did so with great finesse. It was very Natasha as well.
Because of that, Kenneth disregarded the idea of punishing her. Oh, forget it. I should reward her instead once we are home.
He naturally took Natasha's hand and turned on his heels to head outside.
At that moment, he was eagerly anticipating the arrival of darkness.
As soon as Natasha got into the car and fastened her seat belt, Kenneth showered her with kisses.
After a long and passionate kiss that left them both breathless, Kenneth reluctantly released Natasha.
He held her chin and said with satisfaction, “You did great. You finally know how to stake your claim on me.”
Natasha appraised him with a single glance. She propped up her chin with one hand and gave him a look. “I didn't expect you to be into this kind of thing, Mr. Hamilton.”
Kenneth raised an eyebrow but didn't argue with her. He fastened his seatbelt and said, “You're right. I'm into this kind of thing. So keep it up, Nat.”
Natasha chuckled.
Kenneth gave Natasha another look, started the car, and drove home in silence.
What should I do now? My mind is filled with the enchanting gaze she gave me earlier.
Soon, he drove into the courtyard.
As soon as they got out of the car, Denise appeared out of nowhere and ran toward them.
“Daddy! Nat!”
Natasha stumbled as the little bundle of joy ran into her. She lowered her gaze and smiled as she asked, “Where did you come from?”
Denise pointed at a spot not far away, and both Benjamin and Anthony were standing there.
Natasha frowned. “What are you guys doing?”
“Mr. Dave said he's going to set up a shooting range over there for Tony and Ben to train their marksmanship,” said Denise.
Natasha turned to Kenneth, who remained expressionless, upon hearing that. He beckoned Denise over with his finger. “Denise, come here.”
“Daddy.” Denise quickly walked over to her father.
“Is there anything you want to eat, Denise?” asked Kenneth.
Denise nodded without any hesitation. “Yes!”
“What is it?”
“Pastries and desserts!” exclaimed Denise. “I want chocolate too, and anything sweet!” Denise looked as if she was about to drool at any moment when she listed the items.
Kenneth looked at his daughter with eyes full of affection. He reached out and lightly tapped her delicate little nose. “You are truly a little glutton.”
Denise chuckled. “So, Daddy, are you going to buy pastries and desserts?”
“Yup!” Kenneth nodded. “That's why we were a bit late on our way home. They're in the car. Go and get it.”
Denise's eyes lit up, and she rushed toward the car.
She hopped onto the backseat and rummaged around to find the desserts her father mentioned earlier. As soon as she saw them, she exclaimed in a sweet tone, “Wow! These are all my favorites! Thank you, Daddy, Mommy!”
“Don't eat too much, or you'll get a toothache,” Natasha said with a chuckle upon hearing the voice from inside the car.
“All right!” Denise responded.
Kenneth held Natasha's hand and walked toward Anthony and Benjamin.
