Chapter 168 She Is Just A Woman

Natasha answered on reflex.

When he heard it wasn't Zachary, Kenneth's furrowed brows eased a little.

Ever since they last fought, they had never seen or contacted each other. Kenneth felt he was about to go crazy from not meeting her.

Hence, when he finally saw her this day, he instantly felt his heart lightening up.

As he looked at her, his gaze softened. "If you're already here, why aren't you going in? Do you hate me that much?"

Instantly, a slightly displeased expression showed on his face.

"No."

"What do you mean, no?" Kenneth asked, his eyebrow raised.

"Actually, the trio was worried about you. They kept bugging me to let them see you, so I'm just their driver," Natasha explained.

His eyes flickered. "Then, what about you? Are you not worried about me? Even for a little?"

Natasha lifted her head and looked at his handsome yet cold face. Then, when she stared into his deep and fathomless eyes, she paused before saying, "No." Immediately after that, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.

However, Kenneth was not angry. He had expected this answer from her.

He also knew he couldn't win her over this easily and make her admit that she was worried about him over the short amount of time.

Nevertheless, he felt quite disappointed.

"You're heartless," Kenneth mumbled. His low voice sounded different-somewhat appealing to Natasha's ears.

Her ears reddened as she listened silently to what he said.

Kenneth stared at her. In the dimly lit car, she looked as beautiful as ever. "Did you buy that cake?"

"Denise wanted to buy it."

"But, how did you know I liked things that taste a bit bitter?" Kenneth suddenly asked and stared at her with a knowing look. Natasha kept her mouth shut.

I knew it! Denise sold me out again!

Natasha belatedly thought she shouldn't get roped in with her little tricks. After all, that little girl's intentions were as clear as day.

See what she got me into?

When Kenneth noticed Natasha had stopped talking, he inched closer. Instantly, the already small car interior became somewhat cramped.

However, Kenneth was tactful enough to keep a suitable distance, creating a vague tension in the air.

"Why are you not saying anything? Hmm?" Kenneth asked, his voice low and his lips curled upward in an enigmatic smile.

Natasha was slightly awkward. "I... I have heard it from Old Mr. Hamilton once in the past."

"In the past?" Kenneth seemed to have caught onto something.

A frown emerged on Natasha's face.

She regretted it the moment those words escaped her mouth.

I must have been crazy! Why did I say that?

"You've remembered them from long ago?" Kenneth asked in a low voice. He was perceptive because he could discern the tiny hint of concern for him in her words.

At his discovery, he was exceptionally excited.

At that moment, Natasha felt uncomfortable. She didn't want to be led by the nose like this. Therefore, she raised her head, looked at him, and nodded. "Yes. That's correct." Kenneth broke into a broad smile. It was apparent that he was in a good mood.

"As a programmer, one has to have a good memory. I can't help it. My memory is good," Natasha added.

Alas, no matter how Natasha tried to explain her way out, Kenneth would only believe what he wanted to.

He nodded. "Mm-hm. Got it."

Natasha was exasperated.

If he understood, what is that stupid grin doing on his face?

Instantly, Natasha was frustrated and looked elsewhere. "Where are the children?"

"Still inside," Kenneth answered.

"Then, why are you out here?" Natasha questioned.

"I'm here to see a certain heartless woman."

"You're the one to talk. Don't make personal attacks on me."

"Am I wrong?" Kenneth questioned. "Did you visit me after you have discharged from the hospital a few days ago? You didn't. Then, you refused to enter the building the time you did visit. If you're not heartless, who is?"

At this moment, she turned her head and looked at him. "Didn't you say that I don't need to be thankful for your help and repay your favor? If so, why are you saying I'm heartless?" Natasha retorted. Hm? Is she being vengeful?

Kenneth's face turned solemn. "Yes, I did say that. Although I told you that you need not be thankful to me and repay my kindness, I didn't say you are not allowed to visit me. Natasha Watson, you've never listened to me in the past. What made you listen now?"

"I know how to adapt to circumstances."

"Bullsh*t! I think you just want to piss me off!" Kenneth said.

God knew how hard he suppressed the urge to contact her. He was almost mad with the wait. If she hadn't gone there, who knew what he would do.

Right then, he calmed himself down and looked at her. "Natasha, you know very well that's not what I meant that day."

The sky had gradually begun to darken. But when she looked at him, she could see his face clearly. Especially his eyes, flickering in the dark, seemed as deep as the ocean.

"I'm just... too angry," he said.

He was afraid, afraid that she had developed feelings for Zachary.

But when he thought about it, he realized he was in no position to stop her from dating someone else. Ultimately, he did not have the right to demand anything from her. All he could do was court her again. However, he kept this to himself and looked at Natasha profoundly.

After a long time, she nodded. "I know."

"Are you still... angry at me?"

Natasha shook her head. "I've long forgotten about it."

Kenneth smiled at her answer. All the anguish he felt these few days were swept away, and his mood brightened.

His black eyes stared intently at Natasha's side profile. "I know what I've done in the past had undoubtedly left a scar on your heart. I also know I can't turn back time to erase all the hurt I've caused you but know this, Natasha, I will use the rest of my life to prove that I am serious about you."

At this promise, Natasha's heart trembled.

Kenneth didn't want to force her to do anything. So, he merely stared at her. "Thank you for being kind and bringing the three children to visit me."

When Kenneth acted emotionally, she didn't know what she should do.

When Kenneth looked at her, the corner of his lips curled upward. "Do you want to come inside?"

"No, I'm okay..."

"The three are still inside. Moreover, my grandpa's inside, waiting to have dinner with us," Kenneth said.

At this moment, Kenneth leaned closer, and she was hit by a masculine scent emanating from his body. Then, in the next second, a hand reached out and unbuckled her seat belt for her. "We should finish our desserts before returning, yeah?"

His deep voice lightened at the end, making it sound alluring to the listener.

As she stared into his eyes, Natasha's heart pounded in her chest. Her thoughts were in chaos.

"Also, you look gorgeous today," he added.

When his warm breath tickled her ear, Natasha was at a loss on what to do.

One had to commend Kenneth for being an expert in flirting with women. Only a few words and an amorous gaze were enough to spark a person's desire.

After all, Natasha was only a woman.

"Let's go." After that, Kenneth pushed the car door open and got down of the car.

As Natasha stared at the man, a thought ran through her mind. If I don't go inside, I'll look like an unreasonable person, won't I?

With that thought, she, too, pushed the car door open and got down the car.

Kenneth stared at the woman. Wearing a gorgeous one-piece dress, she was so ethereally beautiful as if she was an angel who had just come down from above.

As he looked at her, Kenneth broke into a wide grin.
