Chapter 695

The next day, Natasha was woken up by Kenneth's ringing phone.

She opened her eyes to see Kenneth grabbing his phone from the bedside table.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be down right away." Kenneth spoke in a low voice.

Natasha gazed at Kenneth sleepily. When she saw him return to the bed, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Kenneth immediately approached her upon noticing that she was awake. "Sorry, did I wake you?"

Natasha nodded.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I need to head out for a while to meet Dave," said Kenneth.

Natasha froze momentarily at the mention of Dave. She blinked her eyes as she sobered up and looked at Kenneth. "No, it's okay. I'll get up and replace something to eat."

Kenneth nodded in response. "Okay."

With that, Natasha got up and headed toward the bathroom.

While washing up, she froze momentarily when she glanced at the diamond ring on her finger.

Yesterday's scene flashed past her mind. Under the starry night sky, each sentence of Kenneth's seemed to have been ingrained into her brain.

Although there was no over-the-top location or so-called romantic ceremony, to her, last night's proposal was perfect and the most appropriate.

That memory was enough for her to cherish for the rest of her life.

When Natasha thought of that, she gave up on taking off the ring and continued washing up with it on.

A few minutes later, Natasha changed into comfortable clothes before going downstairs. Kenneth had already changed and was on the phone near the window. He wore a black shirt and black pants. It was rare for Natasha to see him in a pure black outfit. The color made his handsomeness pop. Natasha was never one to ogle at others, but when she saw Kenneth, she could not help but thank the Heavens for creating such a handsome man.

This man is simply the best of the best. He's also completely my type.

At that moment, Kenneth turned to look at her. "Are you done, Nat?"

Natasha returned to her senses and nodded. "Yeah, I'm done."

Kenneth kept his phone in his pocket as he made his way toward her. He noticed the light makeup she had put on and asked, "I see that you're in a good mood today?"

"I guess."

Kenneth's lips curled into a smile, and he held her hand. "Let's go."

The duo soon headed out.

It was lively in the living room downstairs.

Natasha and Kenneth only noticed the people there when they arrived.

Mike, Luke, Alexia, and Dave were there.

At the couple's appearance, the people in the living room also turned to look at them.

In an instant, Alexia and Natasha's eyes met.

Natasha was surprised to see Alexia smiling the moment the latter met her gaze.

Naturally, she returned the smile.

As long as the other party had no ill intentions, Natasha generally would not mind it too much.

Kenneth held Natasha's hand as they continued down the stairs.

Mike could not help but stand up when he saw the couple walking toward them. "Kenneth, do you need to hold her hand while walking down such a small flight of stairs? Why are you showering us with PDA this early in the morning?"

When they reached the bottom of the steps, Kenneth replied, "I got used to it."

Everyone was rendered speechless.

Too much PDA!

The others were trying hard not to roll their eyes at the couple.

Dave abruptly chuckled before standing up. "All right. It's great that you're used to it. After all, our J is now a changed man!"

Everyone stared at Kenneth in amusement.

The man ignored them and turned to look at Natasha instead. "We're going to discuss a few things, so you go and look for something to eat. I'll see you in a bit."

"Okay." Natasha bobbed her head.

Before she left, Kenneth leaned close to her, whispering, "Prepare something tasty for me."

The man must have leaned in too close as he had nuzzled Natasha's hair. She subconsciously reached up to fix her hair before replying, "All right, I got it."

Just as she was about to leave, Mike suddenly yelled, "Wait!"

Natasha halted in her tracks, her gaze shifting onto Mike, who was behind her.

The others also shifted their gazes to Mike.

"What's wrong? You surprised me!" Luke exclaimed.

Instead of replying, Mike was intently staring at Natasha's hand. His eyes shone brightly in excitement.

Upon seeing that, Luke hurriedly inched close to Mike and muttered, "Mike, Boss will get angry if you keep staring at Natasha like that!"

"What are you talking about?" Mike retorted before asking Natasha, "Natasha, is that a diamond ring on your finger?"

Everyone else immediately shifted their gazes to Natasha's hand as soon as he said that.

There was a sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger.

How did we not notice that?

With that, Alexia's gentle expression turned grim.

Dave also stared at the duo.

Natasha held up her hand and glanced at the diamond ring. With a mere grin, she did not make a move to explain anything.

"Boss, I remember Natasha wasn't wearing a ring the last time I was here. But she's wearing one today. Did something happen between you two?" Mike peered at Kenneth and asked, a cheerful smile on his

lips.

Kenneth's lips curved upward as he looked at everyone staring at Natasha's hand. He said, "Despite not meeting for some time, it seems like your eyes are as sharp as ever!"

He grabbed Natasha's hand and gently caressed it before turning to them. "That's right. I proposed last night. I wanted to wait for things to settle down before telling you all, but since you guys have noticed it, you can start preparing wedding gifts."

Mike and Luke got excited when they heard that.

"Wait. Kenneth, did you propose in haste? Was there no romantic ceremony when you did it?"

"Was it in haste? I was very serious about it," Kenneth replied.

"That's not it. Was Natasha not mad at you for it?" Mike asked as he turned to look at Natasha.

Natasha said with a smile, "He knows that I don't like crowded areas. For me, his commitment is much more important than how he proposed. This is enough for me."

"Aren't you being too considerate, Natasha? How can you let him off the hook like that? We feel sorry for you!" Mike remarked.

Luke nodded to second his words.

In response, Natasha giggled. "Then what should I do?"

"Shouldn't you at least make him work for it?" Luke asked.

Kenneth turned to look at Luke, but the latter immediately averted his gaze and pretended not to see Kenneth.

Natasha chuckled and said, "Last night, he told me he'd give me all his assets. Does that count?"

Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at Kenneth in unison.

"Boss, d-did you really say that?"

"Kenneth, you must be joking, right?" Mike inquired.

Kenneth completely ignored them as he stared at Natasha and corrected her in a low voice, "That's your betrothal gift."

Although he had lowered his voice to say that, everyone still heard it.

Mike and Luke were surprised, but they still cheered for the couple.

"Ahh! Boss, I'm super curious. Can I ask what your net worth is?"

Kenneth did not respond to that, acting as if he had only Natasha in his eyes.

At the side, Alexia turned tense, her expression darkening.

Dave, on the other hand, curved his lips into a sincere grin when he heard what Kenneth said. Well, as long as they're happy together!
