Chapter 344


    Seemingly prepared for this question, Natasha replied, “At Baykeep. Thepany is in


    coboration with one of the organizations over there. I''m going over there to follow up with them.”


    “How long will you be gone for?”


    “At the moment, I''m nning to stay there for a few days. It depends on the progress of the


    discussion. I might need to stay there for a few more days,” Natasha answered.


    Terence''s eyebrows furrowed when he heard that. “Why does your job require you to go on


    business trips?”


    “As long as I’m working, there will always be a possibility that I''ll have to go on business trips,


    Grandpa.”


    With his brows still knitted into a tight knot, Terence was worried about her.


    Liam, who was standing by the side, piped up, “Terence, Nat is already an adult. Why are you still


    so worried about her? She even lived abroad for a few years. She''s just going on a business trip.


    There''s no need to be so worried about her.” “So what if I want to worry about her?


    It''s none of your business,” Terence retorted.


    “I''m just giving you advice. I''m not interfering in your life,” Liam said good-naturedly.


    Terence ignored Liam and instead turned to look at Natasha.


    “Remember to take care of yourself. Call us if anythinges up,” he advised her.

    Natasha smiled softly. “I will, Grandpa.”


    “Okay, that''s enough. Hurry up and dig your pits,” Liam urged Terence.


    Terence rolled his eyes. He stopped bickering with Liam and continued working.


    Keh then walked back to Natasha''s side after ending the call. Looking at Natasha who was


    eating her food, he smiled. “How are you feeling? Does your stomach feel better?”


    Natasha nodded. “Yes. I feel much better.”


    Out of a sudden, Keh moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, “I shouldn''t have let you


    drink so much yesterday.”


    Natasha did not reply, but her ears turned slightly red.


    Keh''s lips curled into a small smile, and he sat opposite her.


    Gentleness filled his eyes as he gazed adoringly at her.


    Remaining silent, Natasha continued eating. When she looked up, she locked eyes with Keh,


    who was staring at her with intense affection.


    “Aren''t you going to the office today?” Natasha broke the silence.


    “I am,” Keh replied.


    “What time?” Natasha asked.


    “Why? You want to go?” he asked as he stared at her.


    “I want to go to the office, too. I''m just thinking of hitching a ride with you.”


    Noticing how reserved she was, Keh narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before


    replying, “Would you be ready to go if we leave now?”


    Natasha froze for a second. “Sure. But I''ll need to get changed.”


    Keh nced at the time. “Okay.


    We''ll leave in half an hour.”


    Natasha nodded.


    When Liam and Terence heard their conversation, both of them frowned simultaneously.


    “Are you leaving, Nat?”


    “Yes. I need to go to the office. Grandpa, Old Mr. Hamilton, I''ll pay you two a visit a few dayster,”


    Natasha replied.


    Liam nodded at that. “Okay.”


    Terence couldn''t help but remind her again, “Nat... No matter what, you must take care of yourself.


    Remember to call me.”


    “I will, Grandpa.” Natasha smiled.


    Even though he was still worried about his granddaughter, Terence knew that young people still


    needed their own space.


    “Okay, go on ahead,” Terence said solemnly.


    Natasha looked at her grandfather with a conflicted look in her eyes. In the end, sheposed


    herself and nodded her head solemnly. She then got up to go get changed.


    Keh, too, looked at the elderly duo. “I''ll get going as well, Grandpa, Old Mr. Watson.”


    “Okay, okay. Hurry up and leave,” Liam said as he waved his hand dismissively.


    Keh was at a loss for words as he noticed how straightforward his grandfather was.


    Regardless, Keh said nothing. He got up and left.


    In the car, Keh was driving while Natasha was sitting in the front passenger seat.


    “Where are the three kids? Why didn''t theye to say bye?” Keh started a conversation.


    “Denise said that Thalia was going to bring them out. They’ve probably gone out,” Natasha said


    tly as she looked out the window. Her gaze seemed unfocused.


    Hearing that, Keh nodded.


    Natasha pursed her lips tightly as mixed feelings rose in her heart.


    It was right then that the car came to a sudden stop. Shocked, Natasha whipped her head to look at


    Keh, who was leaning toward her.


    She instantly froze in her seat. “W-What are you doing?”


    “Are you deliberately keeping a distance from me, Natasha?” Keh asked with a frown. She


    knows very well that I would go through hell just for her without hesitation. So, why is she being so


    distant?


    “What?”


    “In front of Old Mr. Watson,” Keh added.


    Natasha stilled for a moment before realizing what he meant. “1 was just-being polite!”


    Polite? What a joke.


    A taunting smile formed on Keh''s lips as he stared at her. “Should I take some actions to


    remind you of our rtionship?”


    Natasha was rendered speechless. “There''s no need for that.”


    “Are you sure?”


    “Yes.” Natasha nodded. She was a person who knew her ce, after all.


    Regardless, Keh reached out and ced his hand behind her head, locking her in ce. He


    then pressed his lips against hers roughly.


    After he reluctantly let her go, he added, “This is just a warning. I won''t be this lenient next time.’


    Natasha remained silent.


    Keh was satisfied with her reaction and continued to drive.


    Both of them did not talk for the rest of the ride. That was because Keh kept answering


    iing calls. It was lucky for Natasha, for she did not know what to say at all. Therefore, she


    leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes to rest.


    The car finally came to a stop after more than half an hour.


    Natasha nced at him. “I think you''re probably going to be busy in the afternoon. I won''t be inviting


    you in, then.”


    Keh narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “Who said I''m busy?”


    “You had so many calls to answer on the way here. Aren''t you busy?”


    Natasha retorted.


    Keh narrowed his eyes and stared intently at her. “I''m more than willing to put all things aside if


    you invite me in.”


    “Keh, you can''t possibly be a man who will be blinded by lust, right?” Natasha red at him.


    “I am.”


    His words rendered Natasha speechless.


    “Haven''t I made myself clear after what I did for you?” Keh asked.


    Natasha remained silent for a moment before replying, “Be careful, Keh. You might end up


    falling to your death with how carnal you are.”


    “Let me exin myself further. I am attracted to only you and you alone. So, even if I end up dying


    in your hands, I will not regret my actions.” Keh did not bother concealing how much he desired


    her.


    For a while, Natasha did not know what to respond.


    “What now? Are you going to make me fall head over heels for you?” Keh questioned as he


    gazed at her.


    “How do you bring yourself to say such shameless words without batting an eye?” Natasha asked in


    exasperation.


    “It''s simple. I''ve been thirsty for too long. If I don''t let go of my pride, I don''t know when I will be able


    to quench my thirst.”


    Natasha was speechless.


    It was then that Keh''s gaze turned suggestive as he inched closer to her. In a hoarse voice, he


    asked, “Nat, aren''t you thirsty at all?”
