Chapter 738 Henpecked

On their way there, Natasha got out of the car to buy some flowers when they passed by a florist.

Kenneth glanced at the bouquet in her hands. "Is that necessary?"

"Come on. We should act accordingly when visiting someone. Besides, she got hurt because she was trying to save us. Regardless of her intention to repay your kindness or otherwise, we should do our part," Natasha explained.

"When did you learn about all these things?" he asked.

From what he knew, Natasha had always been indifferent toward things like that.

Natasha's mood brightened as she gazed at the fresh flowers in her hands. Hearing his question, she looked up. "Although I don't fancy doing this, that doesn't mean I'm ignorant in this aspect."

Kenneth slightly arched his brow in response.

"What kind of food does Ms. Harper prefer?" Natasha piped up.

"How do I know?" Kenneth retorted while knitting his brows in displeasure.

Natasha pondered upon it. Sensing his inquisitive gaze on her, she asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nat, are you sounding me out?”

She smiled. "You don't have to be so sensitive, Mr. Hamilton. I'm just asking."

"That'd better be the case."

Staring at the opposite shop, Natasha chirped, "I suppose young girls like Ms. Harper like to eat chocolate, right?"

Kenneth frowned in disdain. "I'm not sure."

"Let's go." She wrapped her arms around his and walked toward the shop to purchase some chocolates.

After selecting the items, she gestured for him to pay when they were at the counter.

Kenneth took out his wallet in reluctance. "Why should I pay?"

"Ms. Harper got hurt because she was trying to repay your kindness, so it's only right for you to foot the bill."

Despite his unwillingness, he still paid for the chocolates. He placed the cash on the countertop and said, "Keep the change."

With that, Kenneth left the shop with Natasha.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to buy?" he asked her after they exited the store.

He didn't mind who they were buying the things for. What he enjoyed was the process, as he was able to hold Natasha's hand while shopping together.

The only thing that mattered to him was that they were spending some quality time alone.

Natasha wasn't fond of shopping and buying things either. After purchasing sufficient items, she said, "No. Let's go."

Kenneth led her into the car in silence.

After starting the vehicle, Natasha picked up her phone, seemingly watching some content. Sizing her up while driving, Kenneth thought she appeared more enthusiastic and cheerful than before.

It was a genuine form of happiness borne from the depth of her heart.

Compared to her previous indifference and nonchalant demeanor, Natasha not only seemed gentle, but she also gave off an indescribable sense of toughness now.

She didn't become dejected or stagnant in life because she was poisoned. Instead, she did her best to live every day with no regrets.

Kenneth had always wondered why he was attracted to her. Only at that instant did he realize he was drawn to that aspect of her temperament. She had never complained or grumbled, regardless of the troubles she faced. Conversely, she worked hard to live every day to the fullest.

At that thought, an inexplicable feeling bubbled within Kenneth.

No matter how challenging or tumultuous their future path might be, he would continue to hold her hand and move ahead.

With that resolution made, he suddenly reached out to pry open her half-clenched fist, gradually squeezing his hand into her palm until their fingers were tightly interlocked.

Natasha was playing with her phone using her other hand. Noticing his gesture, she shifted her eyes onto him.

At the sight of their interlocking fingers, she glanced at him. He focused on driving while she couldn't help curling her lips into a smile. This moment is a beautiful moment.

Soon, the car came to a halt at the base.

Mike and Luke immediately approached the vehicle. "Kenneth, Natasha!"

She nodded at them.

At that moment, the two focused their attention on Kenneth. "Boss, how's your injury? Are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine."

"I'm glad to hear that."

Seeing that, Mike couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes. "Boss, he's asking if you're healthy enough to go and pick up the car. He's curious when will that be."

Hearing that, Luke immediately retorted, "That's not what I meant!" After saying that, he looked at Kenneth. "Boss, that's not what I meant."

Kenneth couldn't care less.

He gazed at Luke and said, The car will arrive this afternoon. Wait for it. There will be some money coming together with the vehicle."

Luke was unsure if he should be excited or not after listening to Kenneth's answer.

"B-Boss! That's really not what I meant."

Kenneth glanced at Luke and patted the latter's shoulder. Then, he held Natasha's hand and walked away.

"Boss..."

A conflicted expression spread across Luke's face as he stared at Kenneth's leaving figure from behind. Should I laugh or not?

At that moment, Mike walked up to him from behind and said, "Laugh if you wish. It'll be bad for your health to suppress it."

"You-"

Mike grabbed Luke's outstretched finger and lowered it, uttering sincerely, "You should thank me. If it weren't for me, perhaps your car wouldn't arrive by this afternoon."

"Thank you very much, indeed!" Luke replied sarcastically.

"You're welcome. Remember to treat me to some drinks." With that, Mike ran after Kenneth without waiting for Luke to say another word.

Luke would be lying if he said he wasn't thrilled at that moment. I'm about to receive the sports car of my dreams because of an unintentional act. This is no different from hitting a jackpot!

A grin gradually spread across his face. However, he immediately wiped the smile off his face, fearing others might notice how elated he was.

He cleared his throat and regained his composure. Then, he strode in the direction where Kenneth had left.

"Kenneth." Mike caught up to Kenneth. He gestured to the room behind them and said, "Here."

Kenneth nodded.

Natasha gazed at him. "Perhaps you should go in first?"

Kenneth narrowed his eyes after hearing that. He stared at Natasha as if he had misheard her. "What did you say?"

She beamed. "Shouldn't I allow you two to spend some time alone?"

"Are you that generous that you will allow another woman to spend time with your man?" he asked.

She flashed a faint smile. "You could've said so if that wasn't necessary."

"Nat, that wasn't what you mentioned when you came." I've been hoping and yearning for this. Why is everything different now?

“I suppose you're the only man in this world who wants your girlfriend to be jealous.”

"So?"

"In that case, you shall wait here while I enter the room first."

"Does that mean I won't be able to see it?"

She narrowed her eyes to throw him a sign of warning.

Seeing that, Kenneth uttered at once, "Okay. I'll wait for you outside."

Natasha averted her gaze satisfyingly after that. "You can only enter after I give you permission."

"Okay." He nodded.

She turned around and went into the room while holding the flowers and chocolates.

Mike's jaw dropped as he took in the couple's interaction. I can't believe Boss is a henpecked husband.
