Chapter 236
After the deliveryman left, Natasha''s phone rang.
Her colleagues stared at her, seemingly sensing the caller''s identity as they regarded Natasha
teasingly.
“Wow!”
“That must be Mr. Hamilton calling, right?” someone uttered yfully.
“You all are too nosy!” Natasha walked toward the pantry with her phone after saying that.
She answered the call after seeing no one else was around, “Hello.”
“Did you receive the flowers? So, do you like them?” Keh''s nonchnt voice sounded through
the speaker after the call was connected.
Natasha leaned against the wall and drawled, “Tell me. Why are you doing this?” “Why am I doing
this? I''m asserting my dominance, of course!” he replied.
“Dominance?”
“Those three guys seem pretty close . 99
to you.
Natasha thought her coworkers were just making a joke. Unexpectedly, Keh really did witness
that scene.
She curled her lips in amusement. “Mr. Hamilton, could you possibly be jealous?”
The tone of his voice sounded hoarser. “I do not consider this as an act of jealousy. Still, I must let
them know that you are already taken and belong to someone, so they shouldn''t even think of
coveting you.”
Keh''s words wereced with a strong sense of possessiveness.
Natasha''s eyes gleamed as she smirked. “Oh? What do you mean? To whom do I belong?”
“You''re mine, sooner orter,” he answered domineeringly.
Natasha fell silent for a few moments.
Her eyes shone brilliantly, reflecting the rays of sunlight filtering through the window.
“Why aren''t you saying anything?” Keh asked.
“It''s nothing. I have some things to do now. Bye.” With that, she directly hung up the call without
waiting for him to reply.
A gleeful look shed across Natasha''s eyes as she stared at her phone. Then, her lips curved into
a contented smile. She kept her phone in her pocket, turned around, and exited the pantry.
Meanwhile, Anthony and Benjamin apanied Terence to shop at the supermarket.
While Terence was carefully selecting the groceries, Anthony and Benjamin were exchanging
nces behind their great-grandfather''s back, seemingly able tomunicate without saying a
word.
Suddenly, Terence turned his head around and saw them gesturing silently at one another with their
eyes. He could not help but ask, “What are you two doing?”
Anthony quickly regained his senses and grinned at Terence. “It''s nothing.”
Benjamin smiled as well. “We are discussing what to buy...” Then, he strode forward cheerfully.
“Gramps, do you still need us to buy anything else?” “We should be almost done after purchasing
some fresh fruits.”
“Fruits, you say? I think the fruits are ced over there. I''ll apany you to choose them,”
Benjamin offered.
Terence beamed as they walked together toward the fruits section. Anthony trailed closely behind
them.
Anthony and Benjamin paced around Terence while thetter took his time selecting the fruits.
“Gramps...”
“Yes?”
“Are you still in a hurry to let Nat find a boyfriend?” Anthony asked.
Hearing that, Terence nced at him. “Why do you ask?”
“Aren''t you anxious about that matter previously? I sense that you are no longer as impatient these
days, so I decided to ask you.”
Terence closed his eyes for a few seconds. Then, he continued picking the fruits. “This matter
cannot be rushed.”
“Actually, I can see that Daddy is very dedicated toward Nat recently,”
Benjamin piped up as well.
At the mention of Keh, Terence immediately vaguely figured out the kids'' intentions.
“Gramps, did Daddy really cross the line in the past?”
“I don''t want to talk about him,” Terence uttered displeasingly. Despite his dissatisfaction with
Keh, he had never spoken ill of Keh in front of the kids.
“It seems like... Daddy''s behavior was truly uneptable!” Benjamin said.
“This is a matter between adults. You kids should not bother yourselves with this problem,” Terence
uttered.
Putting aside Keh''s ability to be a responsible man and a good husband, he had, without
a doubt, treated the three children very well.
“But I heard the outrageous things Daddy did to Nat previously were all fake,” Benjamin said.
Terence was taken aback upon hearing that. He shifted his gaze onto Benjamin. “Where did you
learn that from?”
“From Denise, of course!”
Only then did Terence look away. “What could she possibly know...”
“A few days ago, she went out to have a meal with Daddy and Mommy. They met with the female
celebrity who had a scandal with Daddy back then. I heard the female celebrity personally took the
initiative to rify her rtionship with Daddy to Nat, informing Nat that nothing actually happened
between her and Daddy,” Benjamin borated.
Terence was stunned.
At that moment, Anthony swiftly added, “Denise seems to be going to the set with the female
celebrity today. She mentioned something about acting.”
Terence furrowed his brows after listening to the two kids'' words.
Is that truly the case?
Sensing Terence''s resolution wavering, Anthony and Benjamin exchanged meaningful nces and
continued speaking.
“That''s why I''m wondering whether Daddy deliberately orchestrated all those rumors about him to
spread in the past. In fact, he''s not as bad as we imagine,” Anthony suggested.
“Not to mention, in the few years following Daddy and Nat''s divorce, there was no longer any
scandal about him circting. I think that hypothesis is highly usible,” Benjamin agreed.
Terence recollected himself. He gazed downward at the two children as they spoke. “What''s going
on? Are you two here as Keh''s spokespeople?”
“No!”
“How is that possible?”
They refused simultaneously.
“Cut that pretense. You two are obviously helping him with everything you''ve mentioned,” Terence
said.
“We are merely trying to verify this information with you.”
“That''s right. We are seeking your opinion, whether you think this scenario is possible.”
Anthony and Benjamin responded.
Terence replied, “Even if what you two said is true, even if he did notmit those disgraceful acts,
he did create those countless issues in the past on purpose to force your mother to divorce him,
right? This can''t be fake, too, I suppose? Therefore, at the end of the day, he''s just a...”
He forcefully stopped himself from finishing the rest of his sentence.
I cannot vilify Keh in front of the kids. I must notl
Terence repeatedly reminded himself internally.
Right then, Benjamin looked at Anthony in resignation.
Anthony added, “Gramps, I know you have Nat''s best interest at heart. We are just saying that this
might be a version of the truth... Besides, at the very least, this indirectly elucidated that Daddy is
not a yboy as his reputation suggested. Instead, he is a rtively loyal person. Perhaps he did
not harbor any feelings toward Nat back then... That''s all.”
“Hmph!” Terence snorted. “He so confidently dered his wish to marry your mother when he was
little. Otherwise, I would have never agreed to their marriage.”
Anthony and Benjamin were deeply intrigued by their great-grandfather''s statement. They slightly
arched their brows in curiosity. “Daddy fancied Nat since he was little?”
Terence realized he had spoken too much, so he pursed his lips and continued choosing the fruits
in silence.

The two kids would not give up on that opportunity to get more details on that subject. They
immediately asked, “Gramps, what did happen?”
“It''s nothing. Those are all in the past now.” Terence averted his gaze.
“Tell us, Gramps!”
“That''s right. Just tell us a little more.” They pestered him.
Terence knew if he were to divulge more information, he would certainly have to mention that matter
from twenty years ago.
