Chapter 237


    He didn''t want to bring up the dark past, nor did he want them to know about it.


    Terence shifted his gaze toward Anthony as he said, “You didn''t approve of Keh before, so why


    were you defending him so much today?”


    I can''t afford to mess around if I want to make this work. I''ll have to bring out some legitimate facts


    as well.


    With that in mind, Anthony said, “I disapproved of Daddy before because I didn''t know him that well.


    After spending some time with him, I realized that he wasn''t as bad as I had imagined. I can see


    he''s putting a lot of effort into winning Nat over. On top of that, finding out that those incidents were


    fake also helped me


    view him in a different light.”


    Terence didn''t know what to say after hearing Anthony''s sincere reply.


    “Gramps, I know you care deeply about Nat and don''t want her to get hurt. However, there''s no way


    to guarantee that she won''t get hurt dating someone else,” Anthony added.


    Benjamin chimed in as well, “Take Zachary, for example. He is a decent person, but the same


    cannot be said about his family. I can''t imagine what would happen to Nat if she dated him!”


    Terence frowned upon hearing them mention Zachary.


    I used to try really hard to pair them up with each other... Now that I''ve seen Zachary''s mother and


    what happened to the Lynch family, I''m d things didn''t work out between him and Nat! She


    would''ve ended up in a worse situation than she did with Keh! These two do make a good


    point. In this modern age, dating feels like a gamble regardless of who you choose. You never know


    what will happen in the future, let alone see a person''s true nature from their appearance. It''s


    almost like a blind audition.


    Noticing that Terence was in deep thought, Anthony continued, “Gramps, I know you still have some


    issues with Daddy. To be honest, we haven''t fully approved of him just yet. However, we believe


    he''s a candidate worthy of consideration. The three of us wouldn''t approve of him if he were still the


    same person from before, but he might''ve changed. If that''s the case, then he would be a decent


    option. With how much you know him and the three of us around, I don''t think Daddy would dare


    cross the line.”


    Terence looked at them and asked,


    “What are you two suggesting, then?


    What should I do?” “Not much, really. Just don''t stop them from being together. Let nature take its


    course,” Anthony replied with a smile.


    Terence chuckled. “Heh, so this is why you two wanted toe shopping for groceries with me? Go


    on, then. Tell me, how did Keh convince you two to take his side?”


    “He did no such thing!” Anthony said.


    “We swear!” Benjamin added.

    “You mean you two are doing this of your own ord?”


    “We just want Nat to be happy!” Anthony replied.


    “Yeah! That way, she''ll have someone around to look after her when we''re gone!” Benjamin added.


    “Gone? Where will you kids be going?” Terence asked.


    Anthony shot him a fierce re in response.


    Do you not think before you speak ?


    Realizing that he had almost let it slip, Benjamin quickly made up an excuse on the fly. “To school,


    of course! Besides, we won''t be kids forever! Eventually, we''ll all grow up and have our own stuff to


    do, so we won''t be around Nat all the time.”


    Yeah, that makes sense. They''re still kids, so where could they possibly go anyway ?


    Not thinking much about it, Terence said with a nod, “All right, I understand what you two are trying


    to tell me. I''ll take this into consideration.”


    Anthony and Benjamin felt relieved when they saw him give in. “You''re the best, Gramps! We knew


    you''d want the best for Nat!”


    “Of course! She''s my granddaughter, after all!”


    “Gramps, could you tell us why Daddy divorced Nat if he had liked her since they were kids? Was it


    really because he found her too unfashionable?” Benjamin asked. He had seen pictures of Natasha


    from a few years ago. While it was true that she looked unfashionable, it wasn''t bad enough to


    warrant a divorce.


    Anthony, too, looked at Terence curiously after hearing that.


    Despite Terence''s attempts at avoiding the topic, Benjamin had led the conversation right back to it.


    Not wanting to talk about it, Terence tried to change the topic. “These cherries are really nice. We


    should buy some for your mommy. She needs more fruits in her diet,” he said while pointing at a


    fruit vendor.


    “Don''t try to change the topic, Gramps! Come on, tell us!” Benjamin protested.


    “Is there some kind of secret we don''t know about?” Anthony asked.


    D *mn it, why are these two so persistent? Terence thought to himself as he continued picking the


    fruits in silence.


    “Forget it. Gramps must have his reasons for not telling us. We should just ask Nat about it instead!”


    Anthony said.


    “Do not ask her!” Terence warned them the moment he heard that.


    The two kids simply stood there staring at him in response.


    “Fine, I''ll tell you... But you mustn''t bring this up again when we get home, okay?” Terence said with


    a sigh.


    Anthony and Benjamin nodded profusely.


    Terence then gave it some thought and said, “He spent a lot of time around your great-grandpa


    when he was little. It''s true that he fell for your mommy then, but he lost his memories in an


    ident. By the time he regained consciousness, his personality had changed drastically. It was as


    if he had be apletely different person...”


    As Keh had gotten injured trying to save Natasha''s life, Terence couldn''t me him entirely for


    his actions.


    The two kids were utterly shocked by what they had just heard. “What?


    Daddy lost his memories?” Benjamin asked.


    “What a dramatic twist!” Anthony eximed in disbelief.


    “It''s all in the past now. Make sure to keep this a secret, okay? Don''t tell anyone else about it, or


    your mommy will get very upset.”


    “Does Mommy know about this?”


    Terence nodded. “Yes, she does.”


    “So, Mommy married Daddy even though she was aware of what happened?” Benjamin asked.


    Man, these two sure have a lot of questions...


    Terence nodded.


    “That means Nat is actually into


    Daddy, right?” Anthony asked.


    Terence pursed his lips and kept quiet as he didn''t know what to say.


    Noticing the look of hesitation on his face, Anthony pressed on, “Gramps, is there something you''re


    not telling us? Nat doesn''t seem like the irrational . 1,


    type.


    Realizing that it was impossible to keep secrets from them, Terence told them the truth. “Keh


    lost his memories trying to save your mommy.


    Anthony and Benjamin exchanged nces after hearing that exnation.


    Everything makes perfect sense now! This means Daddy isn''t entirely to be med for what he did!


    Regardless of whether Nat actually likes him or if she''s just trying to repay him, it is undeniable that


    fate has brought them together.


    “In that case—”


    Unable to take any more of their questioning, Terence cut him off, “All right, that''s enough. It''s time


    for us to head back now.”


    Terence then quickly pushed the shopping cart out of there as if he was fleeing the scene.


    Anthony and Benjamin broke into mischievous grins when they saw his response.
