Chapter 840 You Are Especially Charming Like This
Once they got on the car, Natasha''s phone rang.
Natasha picked up her phone and wanted to answer it. However, upon seeing the caller ID, her
eyebrows instantly furrowed.

Keh fastened his seatbelt, ready to set off, but noticed Natasha staring at her phone without any
reaction. He furrowed his brow and asked, “What''s wrong?”
Natasha looked up, and her eyes met his. She said, “It''s Boss...”
Keh paused for a moment, and his gaze shifted to her phone. The iing call disyed Boss''s
number.
Upon seeing this, Keh''s eyes slightly narrowed.
“Could it be that he knows we''re fine?” Natasha asked.
Keh pursed his lips and did not speak. He was also pondering the matter at hand.
Natasha thought for a moment and was about to answer the call when suddenly, Keh reached out
and stopped her.
“Let''s talk about itter.” Keh looked at her.
Thus, Natasha''s watched the phone screen flicker until it automatically disconnected.
Natasha took her phone, just about to unlock it, when suddenly, a new message appeared on the
screen.
I am sorry.
Upon seeing this message, Natasha''s eyebrows furrowed.
Natasha looked at Keh and asked, “What does it mean?”
Keh took her phone and saw the three words on the screen. A sarcastic smile appeared at the
corner of his mouth. “What else could it mean? He probably drank too much and is feeling guilty now.”
Natasha narrowed her eyes.
Keh looked at her and smiled. “It''s fine and actually better that you don''t understand.”
He certainly had a lot less to worry about now.
Natasha looked at him. “Why do I feel like you''re mocking me?”
Keh replied, “No, I''m genuinely praising you, Nat. You''re especially charming like this.”
Natasha adjusted her sitting position and looked straight ahead. “I don''t believe you at all.”
Keh smiled and then started the car and drove away.
“So, what should I do with this information?” Natasha asked.
Keh thought carefully and said, “If it''s as I thought, he now believes that he caused your death and
is filled with guilt toward you.”
“Why would he think that?” Natasha wondered.
“I''m not quite sure about that.” Keh shook his head.
Natasha narrowed her eyes. A hint of doubt shed across her delicate features, and her eyes showed
that she was pondering something.
At that moment, Keh suddenly held her hand in his palm. “Don''t worry, Nat. This time, we will
definitely get him!”
She asked, “Are you that confident?”
“Fishing is easy with good bait,” Keh said with certainty.
He knew the financial situation of Vermillion Base all too well. The offer Dave made to lure Boss would
definitely tempt thetter.
Upon hearing Keh''s words, Natasha did not say anything more but just took a deep breath.
As if sensing something, Keh turned his head to look at her. “What''s the matter? You can''t bear to
do it?”
Upon hearing this, Natasha turned her head to look at Keh and said, “Do I look like such an
irrational person that I would pity an enemy just because they show a little guilt towards me?”
“Then...” Keh trailed off.
“I''m just worried about this n. I''m afraid it might lead to unexpected consequences,” Natasha said.
“Nat, we''re luring someone into a well-designed trap. Even if there are unexpected incidents, Dave will
minimize the damage. Don''t worry,” Kehforted.
Natasha listened and nodded in agreement.
Keh knew that Natasha did not like to owe others favors. Now that DX Group had made such a
sacrifice to lure Boss, she must be struggling internally. With this in mind, Keh stopped talking and
only held her hand tightly in his.
There were some things she must get used to.
No words could work better than allowing her to adapt on her own.
Just like that, the car continued to cruise down the road.
Before nightfall, they hurried back.
Upon entering, they immediately heard Dave talking on the phone in the living room.
After they went in, Dave happened to hang up.
Seeing them enter hand in hand, a hint of obscurity shed in Dave''s eyes, and then he casually
looked away. “Where have you been? I haven''t seen you all day.”
“I just went out for a casual stroll,” Keh said, then walked directly to therge table.
Dave walked over to him. “Keh, can you have some pity? I''m swamped here. Can you go to the
base and give me a hand?”
However, Keh was unfazed and replied, “I wish I could, but after all these years of not handling the
matters, I don''t know how anymore.”
Dave knew it was just an excuse Keh came up with, so he red at Keh. “How shameless.”
Keh chuckled lightly, then took out a bottle of wine from a paper bag and ced it on the table.
Dave''s gaze gently swept across the room beforending on the phone. However, a momentter, his
eyes were drawn back to the bottle of wine, and upon seeing it, he hesitated for a moment.
He immediately picked it up and looked at it with some agitation. Dave turned to Keh and started,
“This is...”
“What?” Keh feigned ignorance as he asked in return.
“You know what I''m talking about!” Dave said excitedly.
At that moment, Natasha came over and exined softly, “Keh took me to the ce where you
guys started today and dug out this bottle of wine from under the tree. He said that it is the promise you
made to each other.”
Upon hearing Natasha''s words, Dave''s lips curled up, and he looked at Keh, “You sneaky little guy.
You actually went there without telling me!”
“I didn''t sneak off or anything. You see, the operation is about to begin, and I thought I''d take Nat for a
walk around. I couldn''t think of where to go, so I just took her over there to have a look and brought the
wine back for you while I was at it,” Keh said.
No matter what he said, Dave''s attention was focused on that bottle of wine. It was not just a bottle of
wine; it was a symbol of their promises and the passage of time.
Dave looked at it with a smile, and Keh was also watching from the side with a faint grin on the
corners of his mouth.
The two burly men looked at a bottle of wine, and although they were smiling, Natasha could feel their
excitement.
“I''ll get two sses for you guys,” Natasha said and then went to find the sses.
At this moment, Dave looked at Keh and asked, “So, should we finish it today?”
Keh also picked up the wine and looked at it. “I haven''t had this kind of wine in many years. Today,
I''ll... reluctantly apany you for a drink.” As he spoke, Keh raised his eyes and teasingly looked
at Dave.
Dave looked at him and could not help butugh.
At that moment, Natasha brought over two sses. As Dave opened the wine and was about to pour it,
he realized there were only two sses. He asked Natasha, “Aren''t you going to have some?”
“No, this belongs to you guys. I won''t participate!” Natasha refused.
However, at this moment, Keh directly grabbed her. “No, this belongs to us.”
With that said, he went straight to where she was to get a ss and ced it on the table.
Natasha watched with uncertainty about what to say.
At that moment, Dave voiced out, “Keh is right. This belongs to all of us. Since you''re with
Keh, you naturally get a share.” As he spoke, he directly poured half a ss for Natasha.
Then, the three of them sat together in a circle.
Dave looked at the wine in his ss, and his gaze grew increasingly profound. “I never thought time
would pass so quickly. Just like that, more than a decade has gone by...”
