Chapter 317


    At the side, Terence stared at Natasha with pursed lips. He hesitated for a long while before asking,


    “Tell me the truth, Nat. Did you and Keh—”


    “No!” she cut him off before he could finish his sentence.


    Of course, he knew she wouldn''t lie to him, but after giving it some thought, he still said, “I don''t


    think Keh''s interest in you has gone down. If you really have no interest in him, you should tell


    him that.”


    “I was saying we haven''t reconciled yet, Grandpa!”


    “What do you mean?”


    “It means what you think it means!” She smiled.


    He understood instantly. “You made up your mind already?”


    “Not yet, but you know me, Grandpa. I haven''t changed. I''m still the same person as the little girl


    back then.”


    He knew, of course. The children of the Watson family are all cut from the same stubborn cloth.


    Once they make a decision, it''ll be difficult to change their minds. Even after Keh did that


    horrible thing, she could only default to not talking to him and wanting nothing to do with him.


    Nevertheless, it''s difficult for her to change how she feels deep down.


    And so he nodded at her. “I hope Keh will understand and won''t disappoint you again.”


    “If I don''t have high hopes, I won''t get disappointed, Grandpa!”


    “If you don''t have high hopes, then why do you want to get married?” Terence didn''t agree with that


    point of view.


    Natasha smiled. “Grandpa, in every romantic rtionship, everyone has the right to end it whenever


    they want. No one can predict or restrict it.


    What anyone can do is prepare for it. If that dayes, they''ll be able to ept it with grace.


    Maybe that day will nevere, which is yet another option. Regardless, as long as we don''t have


    expectations, we won''t be disappointed.”


    His eyebrows furrowed as he listened. He didn''t like what he was hearing, but he couldn''t deny it


    was wise.


    Humans were unpredictable.


    Even if someone made a rock-solid promise, so what? People could still change their minds one


    day, and there would be nothing anyone could do.


    While Natasha''s perspective was a little pessimistic, he was still d to hear it because it meant


    she wouldn''t fall into despair when that day dide.


    Terence stared at her. “Nat, I have been holding on to this belief that one day, I wouldn''t be able to


    take care of you anymore. It''s why I want to find someone to take care of you.


    However, I understand now. In reality, no matter who I hand you to, I won''t ever feel at ease. So, I


    won''t force you anymore. I believe you know what to do. Feel free to do what you want if you want


    to!"


    If you''re worried about me, you can take care of me for the rest of your life!” Natasha sniffled a little.


    “I want to, but I''m old now!”


    “Grandpa!”


    “All right, all right, I''m not old. I''ll take care of you for the rest of my life!” he uttered lovingly.


    That managed to make her smile.


    “Is it Keh''s idea to move?” Terence suddenly asked.


    That stunned her for a moment.


    Terence added, “Liam and that grandson of his sure work well with each other. Do they think I can''t


    tell? They''re probably having some ideas about you.”


    “I''ve considered it thoroughly, Grandpa. I hope you can stay with Old Mr. Hamilton. This way, both of


    you can take care of each other.”


    “What? You think the two of us can''t take care of each other while living together?”


    “I still need to work and asionally go on business trips, so I can''t always stay by your side. If you


    live with Old Mr. Hamilton and Dan, I''ll feel more at ease!”

    Terence sighed resignedly. “Fine. If it makes you feel better, I''ll do what you want.”


    Natasha smiled. “Don''t worry; I''ll stay there every now and then.”


    That prompted him to sneer. “If you live there, you''ll be fulfilling Keh’s wish.”


    She simply listened with a raised eyebrow instead of saying anything.


    Once their conversation concluded, they returned to where they came from.


    Liam stared at them, waiting to hear their decision.


    It was then Natasha spoke. “When do you n to move, Old Mr. Hamilton?”


    “I can leave whenever possible!”


    “Then feel free to pick a good day and move in with Grandpa!”


    He immediately asked, “You agreed to it, Terence?”


    “Of course I did. I can''t risk you ruining the house if you move in alone,” Terence replied.


    Liam wasn''t going to be petty about it.


    As long as Terence was willing to move in, he would be happy. “You''re right. If you don''t move in, I


    may tear the ce apart!”


    Terence smiled, but not genuinely.


    Nheless, at that moment, Liam didn''t care. He turned to face Dan. “Quickly, go and pick a good


    day for me to move in!”


    Dan responded swiftly, “I''ll go and do that right now!”


    “Just choose the most recent date!”


    “Understood!” Dan promptly left to pick a good day for Liam to move in.


    It was then Denise, who was watching from the sideline, asked, “So I''ll be living with Gramps and


    Greatgrandpa in the future?”


    “Yes, that''s the n!” Liam smiled.


    “This means I''ll get double the love every day from that day onward!” The girl sounded excited.


    Benjamin and Anthony really wanted their family to live together. In spite of this, they felt helpless


    when considering the possibility that one day, they might be forced to pick a side after the two old


    men argued while ying chess.


    The boys exchanged a nce with a faint smile.


    The edges of Natasha''s lips curved upward slightly as she watched.


    Inside a room within a hotel, the man that people called “Boss” was sitting on the sofa cross-legged.


    There was azy expression on his face as he yed with a small army knife. His yellow pupils


    were slightly constricted. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.


    In front of him sat a man. That man was staring at theputer, and he stayed silent for a long


    while before speaking up. “Boss, the news has


    arrived.”


    Boss returned to his senses and asked, “How was it?”


    “They failed...”


    “Failed?”


    “When they were infiltrating J''sputer, a skilled hacker interrupted them, so they failed.”


    “A skilled hacker?” Boss'' eyes narrowed.


    “Yes. ording to them, their position was even exposed!”


    Fury was rising in Boss'' heart, though he quickly suppressed it in order to analyze the situation


    calmly. “I can''t believe there''s someone that skillful by J''s side!”


    “Boss, what do we do now? J will definitely know we''re the ones behind the attack. We''ll be in


    danger here!”


    “What? Are you afraid?”


    “I am afraid. If we return withoutpleting the mission, the general won''t let us go!”
