My Disabled CEO Stood up And Kissed Me novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Just a Kiss?

The once reserved Kendrick started learning how to take care of others.

In a marriage, the feeling of being needed was crucial, especially for men who tend to value that sense of importance, essentially a manifestation of presence.

Balancing the boundaries between the need to feel and the feeling of being needed was essential to sustaining a relationship.

"Good," Natalie nodded.

She entered the bathroom, tossing a small rubber duck into the water.

It served as her temperature control indicator.

It would turn colors if the water was too hot.

The rubber duck also doubled as an stress-reliever as she could squeeze it during a bath.

This marked the first time Kendrick earnestly took care of someone. He cleared his throat and suggested, "You undress first, and I'll adjust the water temperature."

Natalie, somewhat shy, turned away with deliberate slowness.

Taking her clothes, Kendrick teased, "Are you feeling shy?"

Upon saying that, he suddenly recalled something and said, "Didn't see you blushing so easily before."

He recalled the past teasing moments. Her courage was far greater then.

Laughing softly, he added, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Natalie was left speechless.

"Hey, stop talking!" Natalie threatened, "Or you'll be sleeping alone tonight."

Effective strategy, indeed.

Kendrick casually changed the subject and asked, "Want to wash your hair first?"

As he tugged at her hair tie, he accidentally pulled a few strands out. He mustn't let her notice that.

It was Kendrick's first time washing someone's hair, and he didn't disappoint her.

He successfully got shampoo foam into her eyes.

Oh well, dealing with her hair being caught in the blow dryer was bearable. What else couldn't she endure?

Natalie was cursing inwardly, "Are you here to torment me, huh?"

However, the words from Natalie were totally opposite, "It's okay. Just rinse it off."

...

Exhausted after the bath, Natalie collapsed onto the bed.

Soon, Kendrick pulled her over to blow-dry her hair.

Midway through, she remembered she hadn't finished her homework.

It was the final assignment for film and television appreciation, and she couldn't afford to slack off.

The teacher might report her progress to Seth!

Realizing tonight was the deadline, Natalie fought off drowsiness to open her laptop and start working.

After writing a thousand words, exhaustion took its toll.

She groaned and snuggled into Kendrick's arms and said, "I can't write the remaining 500 words. My brain's run out of ideas."

"Aren't you required to write around a thousand words?" Kendrick glanced at her assignment, "You've already got 1500. That's enough."

"I checked with Serena, and she mentioned that this teacher evaluates assignments based on word count." Natalie reclined on his lap, saying, "So, I have to write two thousand words... On top of that, the school director will report my academic progress to Grandpa. It's just so unfortunate."

Kendrick took her laptop and glanced at it, saying, "I'll make up the rest for you."

Ah, finally there was someone to help with the homework!

Natalie quickly added, "Control your writing style, try to keep it consistent with the previous text. Otherwise, it'll be suspicious if they find out, you know."

Kendrick was left speechless.

Just 500 words, and Natalie had such high standards for a ghostwriter.

Apart from mandatory university courses, Natalie also had etiquette classes. Starting next month, world champions would come to teach her chess, horseback riding, archery, and more.

The Ramsey family was dedicated to grooming her as the future mistress of the household.

Courses like social etiquette were indeed essential for an elite lady.

After all, the circles she would be mingling in the future were all top-tier celebrities and dignitaries.

When Seth brought up this matter, he was afraid she wouldn't be happy about it, so he mentioned the benefits of learning more.

The moment Natalie heard that she could spar with world champions, she immediately agreed.

Seth clarified, "I'm not expecting you to be perfect at everything, just broaden your knowledge."

Natalie then replied, "Well, Grandpa, I promise to excel at everything."

That left Seth speechless.

After helping her with the homework, Kendrick saved it. Seeing her nearly dozing off, he covered her with a blanket.
