Chapter 705


    The skies outside darkened gradually as twilight descended.


    Natasha sat in front of the window, seemingly deep in thought.


    Just then, the door to the room opened, and Keh entered the room.


    He could make out Natasha''s slender figure sitting there despite the dark lighting in the room. Her


    barely visible back appeared to be full of unspoken tales.


    At a nce, Natasha was a mysterious and cool beauty that drew people closer. They sought to


    understand her, seeking to peel away her mysterious exterior like a coat.


    Keh approached her and rested his hand on her shoulder. “Why aren''t the lights on?”


    Returning to her senses, Natasha raised her eyes to stare at him. “When did you get here?”


    “You must have a lot on your mind if you didn''t even hear mee in. What are you thinking about?”

    Keh inquired.


    Natasha gently swirled the wine ss in her hand. “I''m a little tipsy from the red wine, so my reaction


    was a little sluggish.”


    Keh picked up the half-empty wine bottle and stared at her. “What made you drink?”


    “No reason. I just felt like drinking,” Natasha replied as she smiled at him.


    Her smile pierced right through Keh''s heart as he continued to gaze at her silently.


    “So? Would you like some?” Natasha offered.


    “All right,” Keh agreed readily.


    “I''ll fetch you a ss,” Natasha said as she stood up.


    “You don''t have to trouble yourself.” Keh grabbed her hastily.


    The moment Natasha turned around, Keh suddenly stepped forward and pressed his lips against


    hers.


    Natasha stood rooted to the spot, her eyshes quivering slightly.


    A momentter, Keh released her. Giving her a once-over, he muttered, “Sweet.”


    Natashaughed softly. “I see you''ve gotten better at sweet-talking, Mr. Hamilton.”


    “Do you dislike it?” Keh asked.


    Sheughed again but did not borate. “I''ll go get you a ss.” Upon saying that, she went to the


    cab.


    Amusement colored Keh''s eyes as he gazed at her figure.


    Soon, Natasha came back with another ss and poured him some wine.


    ncing at Natasha, Keh said, “I''ll be going out soon, so I can''t drink too much.”


    “Okay. A little is fine.” Natasha picked up Keh''s ss and took a small sip.


    Natasha did all the things unconsciously. However, to Keh, each and every one of her actions was


    irresistibly attractive.


    “Is this okay?” Natasha asked.


    Keh strode toward her and epted the ss in her hand. “Nat, this isn''t a lot to me.”


    Natasha arched an eyebrow at him.


    Keh brought the ss to his lips and downed everything in one go.


    “Would you like more?”


    Keh picked up Natasha''s ss without speaking. There was still some wine left in hers. Raising


    the ss, he said, “This will suffice.”


    He turned his gaze to Natasha as he downed the contents of her ss.


    A hint of amusement permeated her indifferent expression as she gazed at him.


    “Where are you going?” Natasha asked.


    In a low voice, Keh replied, “There''s something Dave and I need to take care of.”


    Natasha nodded thoughtfully. “When are you leaving?”


    ncing at the time, Keh said, “In two hours.”


    Natasha nodded once again.


    Keh looked at her and asked, “What is it?”


    Pouring herself another ss of red wine, Natasha shook her head as she sipped her drink. “It''s


    nothing.”


    Keh scrutinized her.


    “Would you like some more? Onest ss?” Natasha asked as she looked at him.


    He couldn''t possibly reject her offer since she had asked so nicely. He could only nod in agreement.


    “Okay.”


    Smirking, Natasha filled his ss halfway.


    This time, Keh was not in a rush to finish his drink. He watched Natasha intently.


    Each and every move she made while drinking the wine was exquisitely graceful and pleasing to the


    eye.


    It wasn''t until Natasha finished did she notice Keh staring at her. “Is there something on my face?”


    “Yes.” Keh nodded.


    “What is it?” she asked.


    “Nat, you''re not acting like yourself tonight,” Keh murmured.


    “How am I different?” Natasha retorted.


    Keh mulled it over. “You seem to be smiling a lot more today. You''re also chattier than usual.”


    “So, you''re saying that I usually don''t smile and I talk less?”


    “I''m not saying that—it''s just a fact!” Keh dered.


    Narrowing her eyes, Natasha pondered for a moment before asking, “Do you prefer me this way?”


    Keh''s eyes were filled with love and adoration as he replied, “I like you no matter how you are.”


    Natasha gazed at him. “Won''t you stay and chat with me?”


    Keh nodded. “Sure. What would you like to talk about?”


    “Anything!”


    Keh ventured, “Nat, what do you think of a wedding at sea?”


    Hisment waspletely unexpected. “A wedding at sea?”


    Keh nodded in response. “I suddenly remembered that I own a small ind and a yacht. We can


    have the ceremony on the ind, then the reception on the yacht. What do you think?”


    Based on his description alone, Natasha could already picture it all in her mind.


    When Keh saw that she was not speaking, he added, “Nat, I know you''ve never enjoyed crowded


    ces. But I thought it over. It''s a once-in-a-lifetime event for us. I wish to give you a proper wedding


    ceremony. I promise you can act as you please on that day, but please let me hold a proper ceremony.”


    Natasha''s gaze softened as she pored over his handsome features. It was a long moment before she


    finally replied, “Keh, it may be a once-in-a-lifetime event for others, but it will be our second


    wedding.”


    Keh stared at her intently. “We were married byw, and this would be our first wedding ceremony.”


    His words made her smile. Yet, her clear eyes were filled with inexplicable intensity.


    “Don''t you want to?” Keh asked.


    Natasha stood on her tiptoes and nted a kiss on his lips.


    “I do,” she murmured. Perhaps it was due to the effects of the wine, for her eyes were unusually


    beguiling and her voice seductive. It fanned his desire.


    Keh''s Adam''s apple bobbed as his gaze visibly darkened.


    Natasha nced at him, seemingly having no intention of stopping there. She reached out and began


    to unbutton his shirt. “Keh, do you remember what happened thest time we both got drunk?”


    Upon saying that, she shifted her gaze to stare into his eyes directly.


    Keh drank her in with dark, heated eyes that concealed a burning desire. A burning urge surged up


    from his abdomen.


    “Of course I remember,” Keh replied hoarsely.


    “If I said I wanted to, would you be willing to continue where we left off the other night?” Natasha asked.


    The next second, Keh leaned forward. “With pleasure.” That said, he pressed her against the table


    and kissed her.
