Chapter 198 If You Were The One Who Wanted It

"Because of what?" Kenneth narrowed his gaze.

"I was blind."

Kenneth was stumped.

I shouldn't have expected anything nice to come out of that mouth of hers.

Nonetheless, he didn't feel slighted, for he knew her temperament well.

With a calm expression, he continued driving slowly.

"Actually, Denise takes after you," Kenneth commented abruptly.

"What?"

"Looks are important to her," he asserted while throwing her a glance from the corner of his eye.

Natasha sneered, "There's no need to praise yourself in such a roundabout way."

Curling his lips into a smile, Kenneth exuded an irresistible manly charm.

Subsequently, silence descended upon the car.

"Nat," Kenneth called out all of sudden.

"Hmm?"

"Thank you for letting them stay, and thank you for coming back," he confessed.

Briefly stunned, Natasha looked at Kenneth, who coincidentally did the same. As their gazes locked, his eyes seemed to glisten in the darkness. When her heart suddenly skipped a beat, Natasha averted her gaze and looked out the window. "Everything I did was for my own selfish reasons." "Whatever it is, you have given me the opportunity to make amends and learn how to care," Kenneth explained. "Therefore, thank you."

When he became all emotional, it made her feel unsettled.

Looking out the window, Natasha didn't say another word.

When he noticed the redness in her ear, as if she was blushing, Kenneth's lips curled into a knowing smile. Soon, their car arrived at Natasha's place. The moment it came to a stop, Natasha unbuckled herself right away. "Thank you for sending me home. I'm going up now. You be careful on your way back."

When she was about to leave, Kenneth reached out to grab her hand.

"Aren't you inviting me up for a chat?" Kenneth asked, looking at her.

Natasha turned around and scrutinized him. "What's there to chat about?"

"I'm fine with just having a drink."

"Go straight ahead and turn left. You'll replace a supermarket on your side. They sell plenty of drinks there. Bye!"

Even though Natasha wanted to leave, Kenneth refused to release his grip. "But I want to drink something from your place."

Natasha was dumbfounded.

"Why? Is there a problem?" Kenneth inquired.

Just when Natasha was about to reply, he asked with a smirk, "Don't tell me you're afraid that I might do something to you?"

"It wouldn't be strange even if I had such thoughts, would it?" Natasha retorted.

Grinning mischievously, he continued candidly, "It wouldn't because that's precisely what's on my mind."

Natasha stared at him in silence.

"It's normal for a man to have such thoughts in front of the woman they love, but don't you worry. Until the day you fully accept me, I'll respect your boundaries," he elaborated. "Is that so?" Natasha threw the question back at him.

Nodding in acknowledgment, Kenneth checked her out before suggesting with a cheeky voice. "However, it's a different matter if you so as desire it."

"Bye!"

Just as she spoke, Natasha retracted her hand and alighted from the car before closing the door with a loud slam.

Staring at her silhouette, Kenneth deepened his smile.

At that moment, his phone rang.

When he took it out and saw that it was Fabian, he answered it with a frown.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Hamilton, Zachary insists on speaking to you."

Kenneth narrowed his gaze at the news. "No."

"However, he said that if you refuse to see him, he will have no choice but to look for Ms. Watson."

With his expression turning grim, Kenneth pondered for a moment before replying, "Let him wait."

After ending the call, he looked up at the building.

He observed it for a long time and finally broke into a smile when one of its dark apartments had its lights turned on.

Taking out his phone, he sent Natasha a message before driving away.

Meanwhile, Natasha received Kenneth's message the moment she stepped into her home.

It read: Rest early.

Despite the brief message, the meaning it conveyed significantly outweighed the two words.

Briefly stunned, Natasha's mind recalled the events of the evening. Everything that happened felt like a dream to her.

Even though it clearly didn't make sense, it still happened in a way that felt natural.

Natasha didn't reply. Instead, she put away her phone, took off her heels, and headed to the bathroom.

At that moment, she needed a shower to help her regain her senses.

Meanwhile, Kenneth drove straight to the hotel.

By the time he arrived, only Fabian and Zachary were left outside.

Upon alighting from the car, Kenneth was quickly met by Fabian. "Mr. Hamilton, you're finally here," Fabian greeted before glancing at Zachary and lowering his voice. "He is probably here about what happened to Desmond and Erin."

After giving him a look, Kenneth didn't say a word until Zachary approached.

"Kenneth, you b*stard!" Without any warning, Zachary threw a punch in his direction.

Fabian cried out, "Mr. Hamilton, watch out!"

When Zachary's punch landed on Kenneth's face, a trail of blood spewed out of the latter's mouth.

Fabian was shocked. "Mr. Hamilton, why didn't you dodge?"

He could obviously have avoided it!

Merely smiling in response, Kenneth wiped the blood away from his mouth. Subsequently, he threw Zachary a glare and taunted, "Is that all you can do?"

As if he had gone berserk, Zachary lunged at Kenneth again. Fabian was baffled as to what Kenneth's intentions were, for Zachary was clearly no match for the latter. "Mr. Hamilton..." He closed his eyes in fright.

However, when Zachary's fist was half a foot away from Kenneth's face, the latter suddenly caught it.

"I let you have the first punch on Natasha's account. Zachary, do you actually think that you stand a chance against me?" Kenneth questioned him coldly.

Zachary glared at Kenneth, his eyes burning with hatred. "Kenneth, you shouldn't have humiliated my parents!"

"In that case, you should've kept them on a tight leash instead of allowing them to cause trouble everywhere." The moment he finished, Kenneth threw a punch at Zachary.

Upon impact, the latter felt as if his senses had been knocked back into him. He turned his head to face the man who threw the punch. "You never had the intention to work with Lynch Corporation. Isn't that right?"

"That's correct," Kenneth admitted. "Or else, did you actually think an insignificant company like Lynch Corporation can be associated with Hamilton Corporation?"

Zachary sneered, "In that case, have you been planning all these just for tonight?"

With a darkening gaze, Kenneth didn't deny it at all.

Zachary clenched his fists as the rage in his eyes burned with greater intensity. "You should have known when to stop, Kenneth. Now, you have gone overboard!"

"Gone overboard?" Kenneth let out an insidious laugh. "Zachary, I had assumed that you were someone sensible, but it's clear that I have overestimated you. Would all this have happened if your parents didn't cause any trouble in the first place? Even if I wanted to make life difficult for them, do you think I would have the opportunity to do so?"

"Kenneth, stop whitewashing your actions. It's obvious that you had set a trap and were just waiting for them to fall into it!"

"Yes, I did do that. However, if they hadn't walked into it, I won't have a hold on them. Besides, do you think that your parents are the only ones who deserve respect? Firstly, they bullied my children before causing massive humiliation to Nat at the banquet. In fact, you should count your blessings that I didn't have them thrown out. Zachary, if you can't keep your parents under control, don't blame others for putting them in their place!" Kenneth asserted in an icy tone.
