Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “Why are you looking for him?”
“I have something to say to him,” she said.
He hesitated for a moment but eventually went along with her. “All right. I'll call him.”
“Kenneth, why don't you go look for Dave and discuss what comes next?” Natasha suddenly suggested.
Kenneth, who was in the middle of taking out his phone, paused in his tracks before shifting his gaze toward the woman, who looked back at him without a word.
Naturally, he could tell that Natasha was trying to send him away.
After a moment of hesitation, he nodded. “Okay. I'll go talk to Dave and get Anthony to come over while I'm at it.”
A smile lit Natasha's face up. “Thank you!”
Kenneth didn't say anything and walked out of the room after shooting her a glance.
The smile on Natasha's face froze as soon as the door closed.
Her eyes reflected an extraordinary calmness as she gazed out the window. Even though she knew she was currently too fragile to deal with anything, she had nothing to complain about and felt content.
She had at least ascertained many things after the recent incident—the cause of her father's death, Kenneth's feelings for her, and not only that, she even gained an unexpected friend.
I'm grateful for what I have. I've taken my revenge and loved the people I love without hesitation. I guess my only regrets are not being able to look after my grandpa personally and not being able to watch my kids grow up...
Natasha took a deep breath as those thoughts swarmed her mind.
Kenneth stood in the hallway outside, casting a glance at the door.
Even though he didn't know what Natasha wanted to say to Anthony, he had a few guesses in mind.
His gaze was dim as he hesitated for a moment before finally approaching Anthony's room and knocking on his door.
The door was soon opened from the inside, and there stood Anthony.
Anthony tilted his head askew. “Daddy? Is something up?”
Lowering his gaze to look at his son, the man said, “Nat wants to talk to you.”
Anthony nodded after a moment of silence. “Okay.”
With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Looking at the boy, Kenneth called out, “Anthony...”
Anthony turned around to look at his father.
At that moment, the words got stuck in Kenneth's throat, and he found it hard to say what he wanted to say.
“Daddy?” Puzzled, Anthony gazed at Kenneth.
Kenneth snapped back to his senses. “Nothing. I'm going to discuss something with Dave. You should spend more time with Nat.”
“Understood.” Anthony bobbed his head.
Kenneth wheeled around and left after that.
Anthony furrowed his brows in confusion and watched his father walk away before heading toward Natasha's room.
He knocked on the door. “Nat!”
“Come in!”
Having received permission, Anthony then pushed the door open and entered.
