Chapter 542


    Keh stared back at her. However, as soon as he met her eyes, he could not help but step forward


    and pull her into his embrace, hugging her tightly.


    Natasha''s long eyshes fluttered, for she was taken aback by his sudden actions. Even so, she could


    feel him shaking with anxiousness.


    “What''s wrong? What happened?” asked Natasha.


    Only after a long time did Keh answer, “Nothing. I just wanted to hug you.”


    Upon hearing that, Natasha smiled and let him continue hugging her instead of pushing him away.


    Nheless, he seemed to have no intention of letting her go even as the seconds ticked by. It didn''t


    take long for them to attract the passersby''s attention, making them turn their heads to look at the


    couple.


    Natasha did not mind their gazes, but she did not think they should hug each other like that for the rest


    of the night.


    “Keh, more people are going to stare if you don''t let me go,” said Natasha.


    “I don''t care,” responded Keh nonchntly.


    “But it''s getting hard for me to breathe, too.”


    When Keh heard that, he finally came to a realization and slowly let her go.


    His gaze was filled with guilt as he stared at her.


    At the same time, Natasha sensed his odd behavior, albeit not knowing what had happened to him.


    “What happened exactly?”


    Keh noticed her gaze and knew it would be hard to fool her if he did note up with something


    soon.


    After pondering for some time, he finally spoke. “It''s nothing. I just remembered the past and felt that


    I''ve failed you.”


    Eyeing him, Natasha queried, “Didn''t you say you regained your memories already?”


    “Most of it, yes, but I just remembered some details.”


    Upon hearing that, Natasha nodded thoughtfully while gazing at him. “Keh, you don''t owe me


    anything. You lost your memory because of me, so I didn''t me you for anything.”


    “But I do. I me myself for forgetting you, hurting you, and not being by your side when you


    encountered all that,” said Keh.


    “Says who? Weren''t you with me when I was in danger at the hospital? You even took several stabs on


    my behalf. I remember that moment very clearly. During that time, I felt your presence with me all the


    time, as if you never left.”


    At the mention of that, Keh leaned closer and held her face. “Really?”


    Natasha nodded, which put a smile on his face. However, his gaze darkened as he continued boring


    into hers.


    Natasha returned his gaze as well. For some unknown reason, she found Keh''s behavior odd that


    night.


    “Are you nning to stand here like this all night? Those three kiddos are still waiting for us, you


    know?” she reminded.


    Keh immediately looked up. Sure enough, the three children were staring right at them.


    The sight of them put a smile on his face.


    “Let''s go,” prompted Natasha.


    Keh nodded, and they walked over, naturally slipping their hands into each other''s as if they had


    practiced that a million times.


    Even when the duo returned to their seats, the children''s cheeky gaze never left them.


    The next moment, Keh turned to them and asked, “What is it? Just speak your mind.”


    Denise was the first to raise her hand. “I''ll go first.”


    Hearing that, Keh shifted his gaze and gestured for her to speak.


    “Daddy, you took advantage of Nat in front of a crowd. Don''t you think you should take responsibility for


    it?” questioned Denise.


    Keh nodded after hearing that. “I should.”


    “How are you nning to do that?” Denise interrogated.


    “What about marrying her?”


    “Deal!” Denise epted the answer in a heartbeat.


    Meanwhile, Natasha was dumbfounded. “Does my opinion not matter?”


    “Nat, it''s hard to find someone as handsome as Daddy. Besides, having someone like him at home will


    be a treat for your eyes. So why don''t you just take him?” Denise suggested, grinning mischievously.


    When Keh heard that, he nodded in agreement, whispering, “I don''t eat much, I''m good at making


    money, and I work hard. So why don''t you think about it?”


    Natasha frowned. Why do I have a feeling he meant something else when he said he''ll work hard?


    In the meantime, the three children''s gazes darted from Keh to Natasha.


    After pondering for a moment, Natasha gazed at him and nodded. “Okay. I ept.”


    Her answer was out of Keh''s expectations.


    He gawked at her. “Do you mean it?”


    Nodding nonchntly, Natasha answered, “Yes.”


    Yet, Keh still could not bring himself to believe her words.

    After all, he had asked her the question many times, and she never gave him a definite answer. Now


    that she had given him one, Keh merely thought she was joking.


    Despite so, he still felt excited.


    “Stop joking. I might think you''re for real,” Keh said, looking into her eyes.


    Natasha chuckled. “Take it for real, then.”


    Keh''s dark eyes narrowed as he stared at her inquisitively.


    “Anthony, Benjamin, Denise...” Keh spoke.


    “Huh?”


    “Close your eyes,” instructed Keh.


    The children froze momentarily, but they quickly closed their eyes as if knowing what Keh was


    about to do.


    Natasha nced at them and was about to say something when Keh suddenly leaned forward and


    kissed her, leaving her stunned.


    Just then, the children took a peek and grinned when they saw their parents kissing.


    It was a domineering and passionate kiss.


    Once the kiss ended, Keh held Natasha''s head gently with his fingers slipping between her hair.


    “Nat, I don''t care if you''re joking or being serious, but I''m going to take that as your final answer. You


    won''t be able to get rid of me for the rest of your life.”


    Natasha pursed her pink lips, the faint smell of tobo from Keh still lingering in her mouth.


    She stared at him with a gentle expression that reced her usual distant look. “So be it. Guess I''ll just


    have to make do.”


    Keh, too, cast her an unfathomable gaze.


    Unable to hold it in, the children finally giggled.


    Only then did Keh turn away and red at them. “What''s so funny?”


    The children shook their heads in unison.


    Feeling helpless, Keh muttered, “I shouldn''t have brought you kids out. You''re just getting in my


    way.”


    The trio were bbergasted.


    Weren''t we of great help to him? How dare hein that we''re getting in his way?


    “Huh? Did I hear you right, Daddy?” asked Denise.


    Keh nced at her and smiled. “Oh, I wasn''t talking about you. I was referring to your brothers.”


    Anthony and Benjamin cast Keh a baffled look.


    What does that mean?


    “Why us, Daddy?” asked Anthony.


    However, Keh said nothing to that.


    “Why do I have a feeling that he favors girls more than boys?” Benjamin asked.


    “Well, your feeling''s not wrong. That''s exactly what it is,” stated Keh.


    His word rendered the boy speechless.


    Can''t he at least tell a white lie?


    The others could not help butugh when they saw the boys'' expressions.


    It was a blissful and harmonious moment for the family of five.


    Unbeknownst to them, however, they were secretly watched by a pair of eyes in the shadows.
