Chapter 338
“All right. Jokes aside, there''s something important I need to tell you...” Anthony spoke with a
hushed voice while looking at Thalia.
Thalia turned around and said smugly, "I don''t want to hear it.”
Anthony continued, “But it''s something really important.”
Thalia looked at her from the corner of her eyes. “I''m not in a good mood to hear anything!”
Anthony went deep in thought for a moment before smiling at her.
“Thalia, you’re the most magnanimous among all the pretty women I’ve seen. You''re also someone
who looks at the big picture, and so I believe you wouldn''t hold a grudge against me, right?”
Thalia arched her brows and looked up at him with a scowl. “Between me and Nat, who''s the
prettier? Who''s more magnanimous? Who is more capable of looking at the bigger picture?”
Anthony was rendered speechless. “Is thisparison necessary?”
Thalia answered, “Of course!”
“You want to hear the truth?”

Words caught in Thalia''s throat after she heard that question.
Based on Anthony''s response, she knew what his answer would be. I guess he wouldn''t go against
his will to say nice things to coax me. After all, Nat is everything to him.
Thalia narrowed her eyes and responded with a faint grin. “Oh, forget it. You don''t have to say
anything anymore.”
“You''re not mad at me anymore, right?” Anthony asked.
Thalia took in a deep breath. “Who says so?”
“You''re the second prettiest woman I''ve ever seen! I swear!”
“Really?” Thalia asked.
Anthony nodded repeatedly. “Yes!”
“You mean what you said?”
“Of course! That''s exactly what I have in my mind! You rank the second!”
Thalia was pleased to hear that. “Fine.
So what do you want to tell me?”
Anthony nced at the surroundings and whispered, “You stay here for the night. I''ll tell you in the
evening when I have a chance.”
Thalia knew something was amiss upon seeing that suspicious look on his face. She nodded and
said, “All right.”
Meanwhile, all the guests at the banquet had a good time, and many of them had a few drinks.
When Liam was about to take another sip of wine, Keh stopped him.
“You''ve drunk a lot tonight, Grandpa.”
Liam instantly knitted his brows upon hearing that. “What do you mean by
I''ve drunk a lot? I''ve only had two sses of wine!”
When Liam insisted on taking another sip, Keh covered the winess with his palm. “You''ve
reached your limit, Grandpa. In fact, the doctor said you shouldn''t drink at all.”
“Hey-”
Natasha came over to defuse the tension. “You must take care of your health, Old Mr. Hamilton.”
Upon hearing that, Liam responded, “All right. I''ll listen to you, Nat!” Natasha turned to Terence and
said, “You should not drink too much as well, Grandpa.”
“My body is fine. I''m all right.”
Natasha red at him without uttering a word.
Terence had no choice but to give in. “All right! All right! I won''t drink much!”
He then put down his winess.
After a short pause, Terence looked at Liam. “It''s time to take your medicine, isn’t it?”
“Oh?” Liam looked over and met his eyes. He then nodded. “Oh, yes. I should take my medicine
now!”
“Let''s go! I''lle with you!”
“Wow. I''m surprised you remembered. Well then, I''ll give you a chance to keep mepany!” Liam
then stood up and was ready to leave. Seeing that, Terence quickly followed right behind.
Everyone could tell they were putting up an act.
Meanwhile, Keh waved at Dan, gesturing for Dan toe over.
Keh muttered a few words in Dan’s ear. Dan then nodded and replied, “Got it. I''ll take care of it.”
He then caught up with Liam and Terence.
Benjamin could not help but remark, “We don''t always get to see Gramps and Great-grandpa
getting along well, do we? What a rare sight.”
“But don''t you think their acting seems awkward?” Denise said.
Anthony responded, “It doesn''t matter. What matters the most is we get to leave now!”
Benjamin, Denise, and Anthony turned their attention to Natasha and Keh as if they were
waiting for theirmand.
Keh looked at them and grinned. “All right. It''s gettingte. Let''s go home and take a rest!”
Upon hearing that, everyone started leaving.
“Thalia, let''s go for a walk!” Denise suggested.
After taking a nce at Natasha, Thalia nodded. “Sure!”
The triplets then took Thalia away.
The corners of Natasha''s lips quirked up as she watched them leave.
There were now only two people sitting at the dining table.
Keh gazed into Natasha''s eyes. “How do you feel? Are you tired?”
Natasha nodded. “Yeah. A little.”
“Let''s go then. I''ll walk you back to your room, and you should rest.” Keh then stood up and
picked up his coat.
Natasha looked at the man and thought for a moment before leaving with him.
When they arrived at the room, Natasha turned around and looked at him. “Goodnight.”
“Aren''t you going to invite me in?”
Natasha sized him up but did not answer his question.
Keh smiled. “Don''t look at me like this. I won''t be able to do anything to you here.”
“Are you also staying here tonight?” Natasha asked.
“Yes!” Keh nodded.
“I thought you didn''t n on staying here?” “I''ve drunk a lot of wine tonight. I believe your grandpa
and mine won''t be cruel enough to see me leave in an intoxicated state,” Keh mumbled.
Natasha knew this was going to happen.
She smiled and entered the room.
“I''m going to take a shower now!” She then shut the door without hesitation.
Keh stood outside and stared nkly at the door.
The corners of his lips quirked up. He raised his wrist to check his watch. There''s still time.
He instantly put on a serious look and left the room.
As he was walking, he made a call.
“I''m going out now!"
Keh walked out and went straight into the ck car that had waited for him outside the
entrance.
The man in the driver''s seat looked at him and greeted, “Mr. Hamilton.”
“Let''s go. I must get back here before midnight.”
The man immediately started the car’s engine and drove off.
At the manor, Natasha felt cool and refreshed after taking a bath.
Natasha had not enjoyed the drinking session that night, as something had been bothering her.
After changing into something casual, she went out to get a drink.
As she was on her way out, she bumped into Dan.
“Ms. Watson, why aren''t you sleeping yet? It''ste now.” “Could you get me a bottle of wine,
Dan?” “You want to have a drink?”
Natasha nodded.
Dan thought about it before replying, “I''ll get someone to find a bottle of wine in the cer and send
it to your room. How about that?”
Natasha''s lips curled into a smile. “That won''t be necessary. Could you please bring the wine to the
pavilion over there? I''ll wait there.” She pointed at the pavilion in front of her.
Dan nodded. “All right. Please give me a minute. I''ll see to it right now!”
“Oh, please bring me an extra winess too.”
Dan froze for a moment before nodding in acknowledgment. “Sure, Ms. Watson.”
Natasha then walked to the pavilion and took a seat.
Soon, someone brought a bottle of wine over.
The moon was pretty that night, surrounded by an ethereal glow.
Natasha sat in the pavilion and poured herself a ss of wine. Suddenly, Thalia came up to her.
“Want a drink?” Natasha knew who wasing in her direction without lifting her head.
Thalia went over and sat down after ncing at her.
Natasha did not say much. She just poured Thalia a ss of wine.
Thalia somehow felt Natasha was aware of many things even though thetter always looked
composed and steady.
Thalia knew she was right when she saw the two winesses Natasha had prepared in advance.
“Were you waiting for me?” Thalia asked right away.
