Chapter 141
Natasha was pinned against the wall, and her hands were in his grip.
She stared at him blankly and was utterly stunned. What did he say? What did he mean by that?
Did he just say what I think he said? No. That can’t be it.
At the same time, Kenneth was glaring at her. Does she really not get it, or is she just acting
dumb? She’s a smart one usually, but why does she seem so dull-witted now?
At that moment, Kenneth no longer knew how to express himself with words.
Hence, he glanced at her lips and gave in to temptation. He held her hands in the air and leaned in
to kiss her on her lips.
Just like that, the invasive kiss, laced with a hint of tobacco fragrance, landed on her lips.
Natasha froze on the spot. She widened her eyes and didn’t know what to do in response.
Her mind was a mess because she didn’t see it coming.
Kenneth only let go of her after an unknown period of time.
While staring at her lips with his darkened gaze, he uttered in a hoarse voice, “Do you get what I
mean now?”
Natasha regained her senses and warned, “Kenneth, if my hands were free, I would’ve given you a
tight slap across the face!”
Out of nowhere, Kenneth laughed. “I wouldn’t even retaliate if you were to slap me twice!” He then
put on a serious expression and said, “I truly regret my actions.”
Natasha stared at him and remained silent.
“Nat… I’m not asking you to give me a second chance because I’ll prove myself to you. But I’ll get
angry if you say such things again.”
Did he just call me Nat?
Natasha frowned. “Kenneth, be your normal self, will you? Don’t disgust me!”
Kenneth seemed to have gotten used to Natasha’s attitude. With a smile, he said, “It’s all right.
You’ll get used to it.”
Natasha started struggling to set her hands free. “Let go of me.”
Kenneth stared at her for a while before letting her go reluctantly.
In the next second, Natasha raised her hand and wanted to hit Kenneth. However, he managed to
act quickly and grab her hand.
“Nat, you can’t hurt me,” Kenneth said.
“Stop calling me that.” Natasha was uncomfortable with how he was addressing her. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“As I said, you’ll get used to it.” Kenneth seemed to have made up his mind about addressing her
so.
Natasha merely stared at him because she didn’t know how to deal with him.
Indeed, she was more used to giving in to coercion and not persuasion. Hence, she was
completely clueless as to what to do next.
She broke free and walked away.
However, Kenneth wasn’t ready to let go of her. He pulled her in once again and asked, “What did
Thea say to you today?”
Although he didn’t hear it, it didn’t mean he didn’t see it.
Natasha raised her head and glanced at the man, who was a lot taller than her. Despite the
darkness, she could see his alluring facial features clearly.
“Do you really want to know?” Natasha raised a brow.
Kenneth’s eyes darkened. “Don’t believe whatever she said to you. You just have to remember
what I say.”
“Oh? Didn’t you used to trust her a lot?”
“That was because I was a fool.”
Natasha was rendered speechless. Does he not have a principle? How am I supposed to deal with
him now?
Natasha struggled out of his arms and walked toward the bed. “It seems that you still have a clear
understanding of yourself.”
Kenneth followed her from behind and said, “Yes. I’m that amazing.”
Natasha was at a loss for words, and she felt helpless.
When she turned around and saw Kenneth following her, she frowned. “Are you not going back to
your own ward?”
“Don’t you want to chat?”
“I want to sleep.” Natasha wasn’t keen on chatting with him because she had nothing to say to
him. She just wanted to gather her thoughts.
Indeed, her thoughts were tangled at that moment.
Kenneth flashed a smile and said, “I can watch you sleep. That way, I can also protect you!”
Natasha turned toward him and smiled wryly. “Thanks, but no thanks.”
“Aren’t you scared?”
“I would be scared if you were around!”
Kenneth arched his brows slightly. After a while, he reassured, “Don’t worry. This is a hospital…
I’m not that monstrous.”
Natasha was speechless. I didn’t mean it that way.
Not wanting to continue the conversation, she got onto the bed and glanced at him. “Get out.”
Kenneth knew she would get furious if he were to continue teasing her. With his brows raised, he
said, “Okay. Get an early rest, then.”
Natasha ignored him and lay down in bed right away.
Kenneth’s lips curled into a smile when he stared at her back. He then wiped his lips with his
thumb. I can still taste her on my lips.
“Goodnight,” Kenneth uttered softly before getting out of the ward.
After closing the door, Kenneth turned around and saw Anthony standing in the corridor.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes when he saw Anthony.
In a convenience store that opened twenty-four hours a day nearby the hospital, Kenneth and
Anthony were sitting opposite each other.
As Kenneth was sizing Anthony up, he confirmed the fact that Anthony looked exactly like him.
Among the three of them, Anthony looks like me the most. When I walked past him outside the
hospital earlier on, I wondered how could someone look like me so much. Who would’ve thought
he would turn out to be my son? This isn’t just a coincidence. This is fate!
Kenneth’s lips curled into a smile as he pondered.
Meanwhile, Anthony had been trying to break the ice, but he didn’t know what to say. When he
saw Kenneth smiling all of a sudden, he frowned and asked, “What are you laughing at?”
He tried his best to appear calm.
Even though he was usually a mature kid, he was acting like a child again when Kenneth was
present. In fact, he was even acting coyly without knowing it.
Kenneth gazed at him. “I’m not laughing. I’m just feeling incredibly grateful.”
“Grateful?”
“Yes!” Kenneth nodded. He leaned closer toward him. “Anthony, do you know who I am?”
Anthony looked into his eyes and nodded after a while. “Yes, I do.”
“That’s what I’m grateful for!”
“D-Don’t you hate me?” Anthony asked, a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Upon hearing that, Kenneth felt as though someone had just put a dagger in his heart. He
narrowed his eyes and uttered, “Hate? Why would you say that? I can’t wait to shower you with
love! Why would I hate you? You have no idea how grateful I am to learn that your mommy
brought you guys into this world. I’m so glad you guys are all healthy and well.”
Although Anthony had a confused look on his face, he was elated within.
