Chapter 531


    On his way back to his room, Keh ran into Natasha. When the woman took note of his sullen


    look, she expressed her concern. “What''s wrong?”


    “Nothing,” Keh replied before walking away in a huff. His reaction was no different from an overt


    disy of anger.


    Natasha raised a curious brow. Keh has been clinging to me for the past few days, so what''s


    with this sudden change in mood?


    Puzzled, she went after him. “Are you angry?”


    “No,” he replied tly.


    Natasha pondered momentarily before nodding. “Fine.” Pretending to believe him, she turned to


    leave without questioning him further.


    However, Keh furrowed his brows at her response and reached out abruptly to grab her.


    Turning around to be greeted by the scowl on his face, Natasha asked with a frown, “What''s wrong?


    Is there something else?”


    Keh was filled with exasperation just by looking at her.


    Suddenly, he pulled her back and pinned her against the wall.


    As an innocent look glistened in her eyes, she stared at him. “What''s bugging you, Mr. Hamilton?”


    “Is it so difficult to pacify me when you obviously know that I''m angry?” he questioned in a deep


    voice that was inexplicably enchanting.


    “In that case, shouldn''t you tell me what happened in the first ce?” she remarked in a teasing


    tone while blinking at him.


    Reciprocating her gaze, he felt his heart pounding furiously as the urge to devour her and make her


    his swelled within him. That way, no one else would be able to covet her anymore.


    With a darkening gaze, Keh leaned in, his muscr body pressed against her tender figure.


    The sight of the woman in his arms caused his Adam''s apple to bob up and down. “Nat, I''m tired of


    waiting!”


    Amidst her bewilderment, he lowered his head for a passionate kiss.


    When the surprised Natasha attempted to push him away, she felt him grabbing her hands and


    pinning them above her head.


    “Mmm...” she moaned.


    Holding onto her slender waist, he lifted her up to bring her body closer to him. As he allowed


    himself to be intoxicated by the sweetness of her lips, the frustration from earlier gradually


    dissipated.


    It wasn''t until a long whileter that he finally released her.


    With his forehead resting against hers, he stared at her body with turbulent emotions raging in his


    eyes.


    As for Natasha, she clung to his chest, gasping desperately for air.


    “Nat, can I?” he asked.


    “I...” Natasha gave him a hesitant look. “Now isn''t appropriate...”


    Without another word, she continued fixing her gaze on him.


    It took Keh a second before it dawned upon him what she meant. Subsequently, a sense of


    resignation shed across his lust-filled eyes.


    “I''m sorry,” Natasha apologized.


    Left without a choice, he held her tightly in his arms. With his chin resting on the top of her head, he


    nuzzled her gently as if he couldn''t wait to absorb her into his own body.


    All she did was nestle in his embrace.


    A whileter, he finally spoke. “Nat, don''t you have anything to say to me?”


    She shook her head.


    No.


    He frowned at her. “Don''t you want to know why I was angry?”


    At the mention of the topic, Natasha raised her gaze and rested her chin against his chest. After


    pondering momentarily, she nodded. “I do.”


    “In that case, why didn''t you ask?” Keh inquired with a strange glint in his eyes.


    “What''s bothering you then?”


    He simply stared at her. If it weren''t for the fact that he knew her temperament well, her response


    would have driven him up the wall.


    Taking a deep breath, he asserted, “Nat, you must be doing this on purpose!”


    “What do you mean?” she countered.


    He lowered his gaze. “You must be deliberately tormenting me!”


    The woman''s eyes narrowed. “What gave you that idea?”


    Staring at her with his ck obsidian eyes, he suddenly asked a candid question, “Nat, is he the


    reason you''re still not reconciling with me?”


    Confusion reigned in Natasha''s mind.


    He? Who''s he?


    With confusion written all over her face, she rified, “And who is this ''he'' you''re talking about?”


    “Anonymous.”


    In that instant, everything became clear to Natasha.


    “Nat, do you have feelings for him?”


    Um, of course I do! In fact, he''s really important to me.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Nheless, Natasha kept those words to herself, for they would inadvertently reveal Anthony''s


    identity.


    Unfortunately, her silence served as an implicit admission from Keh''s perspective.


    A wry smile broke out on his face. “I understand.”


    Faced with his disappointment, she tried tofort him by saying, “Keh, actually, the matter is


    a lot moreplicated than you think.”


    The next second, he gazed at her, his eyes filled with resolve. “Even if you do, it''s fine because it


    happened before I came into the picture. Also, I have no intention of giving up on you.”


    “Y-You really don''t mind?”


    “I was the one who lost you first. Therefore, I should bear the consequences,” Keh exined.


    As she looked at him, a cheeky idea popped into her head. “What if I have had a serious


    rtionship with another man? For example, what if I''m raising someone else''s children right now?”


    Keh''s eyes seethed with jealousy at the mention of the topic.


    Despite being cognizant of the murderous look in his eyes, she remained steadfastly silent.


    A brief momentter, Keh''s eyes darkened as he lowered his voice. “If that is the case, I''ll still


    ept it.”


    “What do you mean by epting it?”


    Keh reached out to lift her chin with his fingers. “It means that I won''t give up on you even


    under those circumstances.”


    “You really don''t mind?” Natasha raised her brows.


    “Compared to that, I''m more concerned whether you''re mine now,” Keh answered.


    As her lips curled into a smile, she simplyy in his arms in silence, a symbolic indication of her


    dependence on him.


    Nevertheless, the gentle gesture was enough for Keh to feel as if his soul was made whole.


    “Keh...” Natasha finally spokenguidly.


    “Yes?”


    “My rtionship with Anonymous... isn''t what you think,” she exined abruptly.


    As the man tenderly stroked her jet-ck hair, she continued, “Simrly, his feelings for me aren''t


    what you pictured too.”


    “But what other bond can you share that would make you sacrifice everything for him?” Keh


    asked.


    “Perhaps it''s a familial bond?”


    He let out a sneer. “A familial bond? How is that possible? How can there be such a rtionship


    between a man and a woman?”


    She stared at him in silence.


    Just when he wanted to probe further, he suddenly narrowed his glistening eyes.
