Chapter 733 Hit And Run

Natasha decided to freshen up a little.

Just as she came out of the bathroom while drying her wet hair, a knock sounded on the door. She immediately went to open the door.

Benjamin stood on the other side of the door, a plate of food in his hands. His lips curved into a smile when he saw her. "Nat, I brought you breakfast."

Lowering her eyes, she swept her gaze over the plate he had brought before smiling and accepting it. "Okay. Thanks!"

"You're welcome," Benjamin replied.

When Natasha saw that he had no intention of leaving, she inquired, "Is there anything else?"

Benjamin pursed his lips before meeting her eyes. "Nat, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything but I was merely worried. Please don't be mad at me."

Natasha laughed and leaned against the door frame lazily. "Do I seem like such a petty person to you?"

Benjamin shook his head in response. "No. You're a big-hearted person."

"Since you already know that, why are you apologizing?"

Benjamin quirked an eyebrow. "Was I being too judgmental?"

Natasha nodded. "Yup."

"My bad."

"It's good that you are able to recognize your mistakes and try to do better," Natasha replied seriously.

Benjamin merely smiled in response.

Natasha, too, laughed as she looked at him. "Okay. I'll be taking a nap after I get a bite to eat. You can go play with Anthony."

"Okay, got it."

Benjamin only turned around to leave after he saw her smile.

"Remember to check in on Thalia when you have some free time," Natasha reminded him.

"I know. I've been doing that every day."

Smiling, Natasha watched as Benjamin leave. She then returned to her room and shut the door.

When she saw the food that Benjamin had brought her, a faint smile touched her lips. She sat down and began to eat slowly.

After she had finished, she felt incredibly sleepy. After a night without sleep, she wanted nothing more than to lie down and rest.

She stared at Kenneth who lay on the bed. After a moment of contemplation, she made up her mind and went over to lie down beside him.

Bleary with sleep, Natasha vaguely felt someone touching her. She would feel a wet and hot pressure on her lips one moment, and a tingly feeling on her body the next.

Finally, she couldn't bear it and wrenched her eyes open. The room had gone dark and it was only illuminated by a dim warm light on the ceiling.

Through the dim lighting, Natasha was stunned when she spotted Kenneth's chiseled features. "You're awake."

"Mhm," Kenneth grunted in response before placing a hand somewhere above her head.

Natasha stared at him. "How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?"

"Yes," Kenneth replied.

Before Natasha could move to get up, she found herself being held down by Kenneth.

"You!"

"I feel uncomfortable here," Kenneth murmured as he grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest.

He's probably still somewhat in a daze. Natasha frowned and leaned forward to check. "Were you also injured here?"

"Yes. I was heavily injured," Kenneth replied.

Natasha reached out a hand and felt around his chest. "I don't feel anything..." Lifting her head, her eyes met with Kenneth's eyes by chance. His gaze was dark and mesmerizing. At such close proximity, it made her feel as if she was suffocating.

I hate to admit it, but his looks are really...

Even Natasha, who was used to seeing handsome men, was mesmerized by Kenneth's good looks.

What can I say? His looks are totally my type!

At that moment, Natasha just stared at him and was lost in her thought.

When Kenneth noticed that she was silent, he lowered his gaze slowly. "Do you think I won't be mad just because you're staring at me so seductively?"

Natasha snapped out of her daze and hurriedly looked away. "I wasn't trying to seduce you."

"Are you sure? Then why are you staring at me so intently?" Kenneth questioned.

Natasha smirked. "Nothing. I was just lost in thought because of how good-looking you are."

Kenneth was rendered speechless.

Shouldn't I be the one saying that?

He felt somewhat awkward after hearing that from a woman.

That's Natasha for you. She never behaves in a way that let others understand what was going on in her mind.

At that, Kenneth pulled her into his arms and murmured, "Is that so? I guess you'll have to take responsibility for it."

"Whatever for?"

"Did you forget who was the one who ran away after sleeping with me?" Kenneth asked as he glanced down at her.

Natasha found herself unable to reply.

It was her turn to be speechless.

She had slept with him because she had assumed that she would not see him ever again.

However, it had all been for nothing because she somehow ended up being ensnared by him once again.

Natasha had never considered how she should face him or respond when he brought the matter up.

It was the first time something had gone so completely out of her control. The entire thing had spun off in a direction she did not expect.

Natasha pressed her lips together. She had not gotten a break since she had come back. Hence, she had never thought of how she should answer.

Kenneth's eyes gleamed when he saw Natasha fall silent. He asked, "Why aren't you speaking? Cat got your tongue?"

Forcing her thoughts back to the present, Natasha smiled faintly. "Nope."

"Shouldn't you give me a satisfactory answer?" Kenneth asked.

Natasha took a deep breath. "Maybe it was because of the effects of alcohol."

Smirking, Kenneth stared at her intently. "Are you really blaming it on drunkenness and not because of your own actions?"

His words rendered Natasha speechless.

Natasha sucked in a breath. Was it Spencer? We've been friends for years! Did he sell me out?

"You don't have to try to pin the blame on someone. Even if it wasn't for Spencer, I have other ways to the truth. Did you really think I would never replace out? Or do you really think I'd get drunk with just a bit of alcohol?"

Natasha focused her gaze on Kenneth's face. After mulling over it for a moment, she said, "Okay, I'll admit it. I was the one who did it..."

Seeing her self-righteous look, Kenneth sneered, "There you go! You've finally admitted to it!"

"I can't deny that. Since you already knew, why'd you ask?" Natasha huffed.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes at her. "Obviously I'm going to seek compensation from you. Don't you have anything to say or explain to me?"

Narrowing her gaze, Natasha shook her head in response. "I was in the wrong. No matter what you do to me, I won't have any objections."

Kenneth was beside himself. Is she really that clueless or is she merely putting on an act?

His chest heaved as he asked in a low voice, "Is that so? You'll have no objections no matter what I do?"

After a moment of hesitation, Natasha nodded. "Yes!"

An evil look flashed across Kenneth's eyes as he stared at her. "All right. You asked for it."
