Chapter 248


    “To what degree are you trying to mesmerize me?” Keh murmured while surveying her with his


    scorching gaze.


    Natasha looked toward Anthony and Benjamin at that moment and found them trying to hide their


    smiles.


    When they caught Natasha''s eye, they gave fake coughs before getting into the car.


    Only then did she turn to smile at Keh. “You have demonstrated what it truly means to be


    shallow, Keh.”


    Keh did not deny her statement. “Everybody has an appreciation for beauty. What''s wrong with


    that?”


    “Nothing. I finally see how depraved you were before!”


    With a sudden movement, Keh pulled Natasha into his embrace and wrapped his arms around


    her waist. “I''ll tell you one more time: I was merely dissatisfied with having my marriage arranged for


    me. I''m not depraved!”


    He gently brushed a lock of hair by her ear as he spoke. “Besides, this face has not changed much


    from before.”


    Natasha was about to say something, but her heart skipped a beat when his hand brushed past her


    ear.


    “Were out in public, Keh,” Natasha muttered. “Are you intending on giving everybody a show?”


    Keh chuckled at her blushing face. “Hmm? Are you embarrassed?”


    “They''re looking from the car!”


    Natasha said sharply.


    “Let them look. Were not doing anything wrong.” Keh was not going to willingly relinquish the


    beautiful woman in his arms.


    Instead of speaking further, Natasha gave him a look that immediately caused Keh''s confidence


    to falter.


    “Okay,” he said dejectedly as he let go of her slim waist and did his best to look dignified. He was


    about to help her into the car when he turned around and saw Anthony, Benjamin, and Fabian


    looking out from the windows. When they noticed his stare, they hurriedly retracted their gaze and


    pretended as if they had seen nothing.


    Keh narrowed his eyes and reverted to his usual cold self as he opened the door for Natasha.


    Once she was seated, he entered the vehicle as well. Despite the amount of space in the limousine,


    he chose to sit beside Natasha without showing any sign of moving.


    The atmosphere in the car became awkward.


    It was more lively with Denise around.


    As the boys still idolized Keh to some extent, they were unable to truly rx in his presence.


    Benjamin smiled as he gazed around in search of a conversational topic. “Limousines just aren''t the


    same as regr cars. They feel morefortable.”


    Keh raised his brow. “Do you like it?”


    “Yes. It''s prettyfortable.” “Then I''ll leave this limo with you.


    When this is over, we''ll have the driver send you to school in this.”


    Benjamin was rendered speechless.


    Anthony shot his brother a nce. “Sometimes, keeping silent is not the most awkward thing to do.”


    Benjamin opened his mouth wordlessly.


    Man, people are mean. I''d better shut up.


    An indescribable weirdness hung in the air throughout the remainder of the journey.


    Anthony turned to Benjamin as he suddenly recalled something when they almost arrived. “By the


    way, we forgot to invite Thalia earlier. Could you ask her where she is?”


    Natasha looked up at the mention of Thalia. “You invited Thalia?”


    Anthony and Benjamin nodded as one. “Yes.”


    Natasha wore a curious expression.


    “Is there a problem?” Anthony asked.


    Natasha smiled mysteriously. “Nothing. It''s just that things are probably going to get interesting


    later.”


    The limousine soon arrived at the hotel. The passengers piled out of the vehicle and made their way


    into the building.


    There was a huge balcony at the venue, which had been decorated beautifully by a professional


    team. Apart from being tastefully done, the theme was one that appealed to children as it was both


    beautiful and lively.


    A blown-up photograph of the triplets smiling broadly hung above the entrance to the venue. Their


    looks alone gave the impression that the event was a fanmeeting for child stars.


    “Old Mr. Hamilton went all out, didn''t he?” Natasha remarked as she surveyed the scene.


    Keh smiled. “Grandpa is still not satisfied with this. He originally wanted to book the entire hotel,


    you know, but it was not doable. It was a good thing you mentioned wanting it to be a family-style


    birthday party, which prevented him from going out of control.”


    Natasha smiled at the sight of the boys running in. “I just hope that it''s an unforgettable birthday


    party for those three. It would be meaningless for them if it were too formal.


    Besides, all they want is for the entire family to be together.”


    The entire family...


    Those three words touched Keh.


    The sideways nce he shot her was deep and meaningful.


    Natasha turned to meet his gaze. “What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?”


    Keh leaned in closer, an intense look in his eyes. “No reason. It makes me happy to hear you


    refer to us as a family.”


    Natasha was dumbstruck.


    Did I say that? Even if did, I was referring to the triplets, not me and him.


    Keh spoke again before she could exin herself. “Don''t worry; we''ll spend every birthday from


    now on together as a family.”


    Natasha fell silent at once and gazed at him without speaking.


    She was forced to admit that Keh was taking apart the fortress she had built around her heart,


    one brick at a time.

    “Let go of me, Mr. Watson! Please, have some decency!”


    “Decency? Weren''t you the one who came on to me?”


    “I''m here to discuss matters with you. That doesn''t mean you can harass me!”


    “You obviously prepared yourself beforeing to me. Enough pretending, now. How many times


    have you been used by Keh? What''s one more time by me?” “Let go of me!” At that moment,


    the noise of a couple struggling was heard.


    Natasha looked up. Her eyes shed in amusement when she recognized them.


    Keh followed her gaze, and his eyes narrowed when he spotted the arguing couple.


    With a leer on his face, Kingsley was trying his best to pull Thea into his arms. The woman looked


    visibly reluctant as she struggled in vain.


    She froze in surprise when she looked up and saw Keh and Natasha.


    Upon realizing how gorgeous Natasha looked, she almost went mad with jealousy.


    To Thea''s disgust, Kingsley kept up his harassment. After a brief consideration, she pushed him


    aside and headed straight for Keh.


    “Help me, Keh!”


    To her surprise, Keh dodged her hand that was making a grab at him.


    Does he hate me to this extent?


    It was obvious that Kingsley did not expect to meet Keh here. Though a hint of guilt shed


    before his eyes, Kingsley steeled himself to approach them.


    “It''s been a while, Keh!” Kingsley cried with a jovial smile before being struck dumb when he


    saw Natasha.


    How lucky is Keh for having increasingly beautiful women at his side?


    “Who is this, Keh?”


    The lust in his eyes did not go unnoticed by Keh, who promptly ced Natasha behind him and


    met Kingsley''s gaze with a regally haughty expression.


    “None of your business!”
