Chapter 644


    Even when they reached the second floor, Denise would turn around from time to time and peep


    downstairs.


    When the living room was finally out of sight, she said unhappily, “Nat, why were you in such a hurry to


    leave?”


    “Why? Do you have anything left to do there?”


    “No, but aren''t they Daddy''s friends? We can just chat with them.”


    “Were you really hoping to chat with them, or did you want to stay there to keep on taunting someone?”


    Natasha probed.


    Denise stopped in her tracks and peeked at Natasha. “Nat, you... noticed?”


    “You and Keh were being so obvious. How could I not notice?” Natasha gazed down at the girl and


    added, “Darling, huh? Don''t you find it cheesy?”


    Denise giggled at that. “Why? Am I not your darling?”


    “Stop it. I''m cringing,” Natasha said as she walked forward.


    Knowing that Natasha hated cheesy stuff, Denise grinned. “Nat, isn''t it nice of Daddy to cooperate with


    me? Are you happy?”


    Natasha did not answer her questions.


    “I''m sure Daddy yed along because he sensed something too.” Denise continued to mutter. She


    raised her head to look at Natasha and reminded, “Nat, I hope you don''t mind me saying this, but you


    should be careful. It''s nice that Daddy is self-aware, but you have to put up your guard as well. She


    even came all the way here, yet you still look like you don''t care.”


    Hearing that, Natasha nced at her. “How should I put up my guard?”


    “Um... You should at least teach her a lesson, shouldn''t you?” Denise said.


    “How do I do that when she didn''t even do anything?”


    “What do you mean she didn''t do anything? Mr. Mike and Mr. Luke both treated you with respect, but


    she didn''t. She''s tantly provoking you!” Denise imed.


    In response, Natasha chuckled and pushed the door open before walking into the room.


    At the sight of Natasha''s unbothered attitude, Denise ran forward and stood in her way. “Nat!”


    Left with no choice, Natasha told her, “All right, I got it.”


    “Really?”


    “Yes.” Natasha nodded.


    “Then what should you do next time?” Denise prompted.


    “Kill her?”


    “Nat!” Denise eximed in frustration when she realized Natasha still wasn''t taking this matter


    seriously.


    Natashaughed at her reaction and assured her, “Okay, I got it. Don''t worry. I know what to do.”


    “That better be the case,” Denise grumbled with a worried pout.


    “All right, that''s enough. Go and y with Thalia for a while. I''m going to take a bath and nap.”


    Denise knew that Natasha had a weak body. Not wanting to tire her mother out, she turned around and


    walked to the door without anyints.


    “Rest well,” she voiced.


    “Okay,” replied Natasha without even turning to look at her.


    Denise stood by the door, gazing at Natasha''s back helplessly.


    Nat has never cared much about things like this, so it''s unlikely she''ll listen to me. Good thing they


    have a clever daughter like me! I guess I should just take things into my own hands.


    At that thought, Denise spun on her heels and walked away.


    The conversation downstairssted for more than an hour.


    When it was time for the trio to leave, Mike expressed, “Dave, Boss, we''ll head back to prepare what''s


    needed. As for the other matters, we''ll wait for your updates.”


    Keh bobbed his head in return.


    “We''ll visit again another day.”


    “Do you actually think you cane here anytime you want to?” Dave quipped.


    Right away, Mike started throwingpliments. “Dave, I know you''re the most generous man ever!”


    “Don''t you try to butter me up.”


    “Dave is saying that you cane here without having to butter him up,” Luke interjected.


    “That''s what I thought so, too.”


    “Thanks, Dave.”


    The two men''s antics got an exasperatedugh out of Dave.


    “All right, we''re leaving,” Mike said atst, to which Dave responded with a nod.


    The former then urged, “Let''s go, Alexia.”


    However, Alexia stayed rooted to her spot and turned to Keh. “My savior, I have something to tell


    you.”


    Upon hearing that, Keh stared at her.


    As Mike and Luke looked back and forth between Keh and Alexia, they seemed to figure out


    something. “Alexia, we''re at Dave''s house,” one of them reminded.


    “I''ll be quick,” Alexia insisted. She just had to get some things off her chest.


    “Alexia—” Mike was about to persuade her, but Keh''s voice cut him off.


    “Go ahead and say it.”


    Since Keh already gave her his permission, the others were not in the ce to raise their


    objections.


    Instead of speaking, Alexia stared at the three men.


    Naturally, they understood what she wanted.

    “We''ll wait for you in the car,” Mike said and swiftly took his leave with Luke.


    On the other hand, Dave cast a look at Keh before sighing helplessly. “I''ll go talk to them regarding


    some things to note. You should... be careful.” Then, he strode away and left the two on their own.


    There was a cold and aloof look in Keh''s dark eyes as he stood tall with his hands behind his back.


    After a while, he spoke first. “What do you want to tell me?”


    Alexia had prepared a long speech, but at the sight of Keh''s icy expression, her mind turned nk.


    It took her quite some time to gather her thoughts again.


    Lifting her gaze to his face, she began, “My savior, I...”


    Even as she trailed off, Keh waited for her patiently.


    Alexia pursed her lips and finally mustered her courage to continue after some hesitation. “Savior, do


    you really not remember me?”


    Keh shook his head.


    It was an answer Alexia had expected.


    Although she was a little disappointed, she got herself together and spoke earnestly. “But I have always


    remembered you. If you hadn''t risked your life to save me back then, I wouldn''t be standing here today.


    You were the reason I joined DX Group. I swore to myself that I would repay you one day for saving my


    life.”


    Keh waited until she finished before saying, “Have you said everything you wanted to say?”


    Alexia nodded.


    “Okay, it''s my turn now.” Keh may seem gentle, but it was clear that he was keeping his distance


    with his hands behind his back. “Ms. Harper, I told you that you don''t have to call me your savior. I


    would have done the same for anyone else, so you don''t need to repay me. You can interpret it as


    simply a kind gesture. Also, if you joined DX Group because of me, I would advise you to leave and


    pursue the life you want. You''re a girl, and you should never do something you don''t like for the sake of


    anyone. It''s not worth it.”


    Alexia exined, “That''s not the case. I may have joined DX Group because of you, but this is


    something I want to do. I enjoy it a lot.”


    Keh nodded at her words. “I see. Then what is it that you want to do?”


    “I...” Alexia looked at him, her colored eyes full of determination. “I just want to repay you.”


    “What if I tell you there''s no need to?”


    “But why?”
