Chapter 584
A while after the helicopter left, Keh retracted his gaze and turned to leave.
However, the moment he turned his head, he saw the woman who was standing at a distance.
Natasha was dressed in ck from head to toe, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders.
She was also looking up at the sky.
Keh froze when he spotted the woman, and his eyes narrowed.
Just then, Natasha looked away from the sky and fixed her gaze on Keh before walking toward
him.
“Why are you not sleeping?” Keh asked the woman, who had stopped in front of him.
After taking a deep inhale, Natasha replied, “How can I sleep when you''re feeling uneasy?”
Keh looked at Natasha and felt a surge of emotions, not quite knowing what to say.
“What happened?” Natasha asked.
“It''s Spencer,” the man replied after a brief moment of contemtion.
“Spencer?” Natasha narrowed her eyes and questioned further, “What''s the matter with him?”
“He and Tha have been ambushed, and they need help now. Dave had gone to get them,”
Keh replied.
When the woman heard that, a hint of worry shed across her eyes as she asked, “How did that
happen? What''s going on?”
“I''m not sure of the details yet, but it shouldn''t be too serious. After all, one of them is Darz Ace,
and the other one is known as Miraculous Hands. I''m sure they''ll be fine!” Keh answered.
“Will Dave manage all by himself?” Natasha scrunched her brows when she heard that.
“Don''t worry.” Keh tried to reassure the woman.
Emotions surged beneath Natasha''s eyes as she asked, “Did you not go because of me?”
“Also, because of our three little ones and everything here,” the man replied.
Natasha twitched her lips when he heard that. She fixed her gaze on Keh and remained silent
for a long time before replying, “We will be all right here. Besides, with me around, I won''t let
anything bad happen to the kids...”
“But what if this is a part of Vermillion Base''s scheme? Do you think I can bring myself to leave you
guys in such a dangerous situation?” Keh asked.
Natasha pressed her lips together and did not answer.
“Nat, haven''t we already discussed this? You said that you would try to depend on me,” Keh
carried on.
“I''m just worried about Spencer.”
“Simrly, I''m worried about you too. In fact, to me, nothing is more important than you and the
kids,” the man enunciated.
There was nothing else Natasha could say.
As such, she pursed her lips and kept quiet.
Looking at the woman, Keh said, “Don''t worry. With Dave around, they will be fine. Trust me.
Now, all we have to do is to have some patience and wait for them.”
“Okay.” Natasha nodded.
With that, the couple sat there and waited.
Natasha gazed at the night sky expressionlessly. It was hard to tell what she was feeling at that
moment.
“When did you and Spencer know each other?” Keh suddenly asked.
When Natasha heard that, she retracted her gaze and started recalling the old times. “We knew
each other when we were a lot younger. It has been a very long time.”
Keh merely stared at the woman.
“It was right after my dad died. I wanted to use theputer when Grandpa and I reached home
after visiting you at the hospital, but Grandpa didn''t allow me to. So, I bought a second-handptop
with my savings. However, I met some swindlers, and they wanted to teach me a lesson as they
didn''t manage to cheat me. A fewrge men chased after me and hit me. When I was on the verge
of death, Spencer suddenly appeared!”
Even though Natasha sounded casual and made it seem as if it was nothing serious, a cold glint
shed past Keh''s eyes as he listened.
Narrowing his eyes, the man asked, “What happened after that?”
“After that, Spencer saved me. As such, he''s aware of my secret all along,” Natasha replied.
“I meant what happened to those people who took advantage of you!” Keh asked between
gritted teeth.
Natasha could tell that Keh was infuriated and smiled in amusement. “I went to look for them to
take my revenge after learning one year of grappling techniques. One of them was crippled, another
one was paralyzed in one arm, and a third one lost his sense of hearing. I think that was what
happened. I can''t really remember now.”
“You fought three of them single-handedly?”
“I went for them separately,” Natasha said before continuing, “I was still young at that time. I won''t
do anything that puts myself at a disadvantage.”
When Keh heard that, he visibly rxed. Otherwise, he would certainly go after those people
when he returned.
“Carry on,” Keh said.
“Then, Spencer and I continued to keep in touch. Sometimes, when he needed my help, I would
help him. Of course, when I have any needs, he helps me too,” Natasha said.
“When you have needs?” Keh narrowed his eyes. He did not feelfortable hearing those
words.
Feeling speechless, Natasha stared at the man and said, “I don''t mean that kind of need.”
Keh raised his brow and replied, “I understand what you meant. I just don''t like the way you
said it.”
Of course, Natasha knew that Keh was just being jealous. “So, so we continued keeping in
touch. Although we are not that close, we probably knew each other best.”
Those words did not sound pleasant to Keh again.
With a crease between his brows, the man fixed his gaze on Natasha.
Looking back at Keh, Natasha said, “For many years, we only contacted each other whenever
we needed help. It was only after a long time that we naturally became friends. We are friends who
have each other''s backs, but we are purely friends!”
Although Natasha had already exined her rtionship with Spencer very clearly, Keh still felt
very possessive of the woman.
“I am the only person who can have your back!” Keh said.
“My back is all yours from now onward,” Natasha replied, looking at the man.
“Also, I am the one who knows you best and vice versa,” Keh said.
Natasha took another deep breath, and in the same manner she would coax a kid, she replied,
“Yes. We know each other best.”
“Also, I think it''s best that you contact each other only when you need something from each other,”
Keh said.
Natasha was unable to hold back and burst outughing. “Keh, what happened to your
maturity? What happened to being dignified and ssy?”
Keh stared at Natasha intently and enunciated, “Those were all gone after I got to know you.
Also, there are hardly any men who can remain mature, dignified, and ssy when ites to this.
I am no exception.”
Natasha looked at the man and burst outughing again. “I''m just trying to tell you that Spencer and
I are purely friends and nothing more.”
“That''s what you think. How do you know what he''s thinking?” Keh asked. The smell of jealousy
in the air was intense.
“The person he likes is Thalia. So, what do you think he''s thinking?” Natasha asked.

Keh was momentarily stumped when he heard that. However, he was still unwilling to change
his stance. “It''smon for men to want to have his cake and eat it. You don''t know for sure that
he''s not like that too.”
Natasha chuckled and sized Keh up before asking, “So, are you like that as well?”
“Of course not!” the man denied at once.
Natasha cocked her brows and questioned further, “If that''s the case, how do you exin your
actions during those previous few years?”
Keh was filled with regret at the mention of the past. It felt as though he had shot himself in the
foot.
He had chosen the worst possible method to deal with things back then.
The man pulled Natasha into his arms and said, “I wasn''t serious about that.”
Natasha nodded thoughtfully and replied, “Oh. You were just joking when you were forcing me to
get a divorce...”
Keh was at a loss for words.
He knew that that was something he would not be able to avoid forever.
Indeed, what goes aroundes around.
