Chapter 585
Keh inched closer, cupped the back of her head, and nted a kiss on her lips. There''s nothing
a kiss can''t solve. If one kiss doesn''t work, I''ll give her another.
A breeze brushed through the courtyard beneath the starry night.
After kissing her for nearly ten seconds, Keh finally released Natasha.
Gazing into her eyes with affection, Keh said, “Nat, I know I''ve let you down, and I know nothing
I say can undo the damage I did to you. But I''ll make it up to you with the rest of my life and do
anything you say.”
Natasha was mesmerized by his dazzling eyes as they glistened in the night sky. To her, those were
the best sweet nothings.
She went up and reciprocated with another deep kiss. After pulling herself away, she gazed into his
eyes and whispered, “All right. Deal.”
Keh smiled upon hearing that.
Natasha, too, responded with a grin.
They continued talking for hours under the night sky.
Time went by quickly, but the love birds did not seem tired. They were so engrossed in the
conversation that they stayed up all night.
When the first light appeared in the sky, Natasha leaned against Keh and asked, “What about
you, Keh?”
“Me?”
“How have thest few years been for you?” the dainty-looking Natasha asked while resting her
chin on his shoulder.
Keh thought about it for a while. “You want the truth?”
“Yes.” Natasha nodded.
“Life in thest few years was meaningless as it was all about work. I''ve been trying to search for
what''s missing in life but couldn''t tell what it was. I basically lived like a zombie.”
Upon hearing that, Natasha tilted her head to look at him. “What about now? Have you found it?”
Keh nced at her from the corners of his eyes and said, “Yes, I have.”
“You found it?” Natasha gazed into his eyes. “What is it?”
“You!” Keh said while fixing his eyes on her.
Keh continued, “It''s you and the childhood memory I lost. Nat, I might find you annoying in the
past, but ever since you went away, I felt empty. Yet, I never thought the emptiness I felt had
anything to do with your disappearance. When I learned that you were pregnant, my restlessness
turned into anger, and I vented it on you. That was why I was always furious when we reconnected.”
Natasha nced at him and kept mum.
“The feeling of emptiness eventually vanished when you appeared. You drove me nuts, but
admittedly, I didn''t live like a zombie anymore. Though I was always thinking of ways to punish you,
somehow, you kept popping into my mind!”

Upon hearing that, Natasha teased him with a subtle smirk. After observing his facial expression for
a while, she asked, “Are you sure it wasn''t because you were horny?”
Keh did not deny it. He replied steadily, “You''re right. But I only have that feeling for you, not
anyone else!”
“Are you sure?” she asked.
“The moment you returned, I''d made up my mind to stick with you through thick and thin for the rest
of my life. I''ll not let you go again,” Keh said while looking at her.
The corners of Natasha''s lips curled up when she met his gaze.
She epted his exnation and responded with a contented smile before tilting her head and
leaning on his shoulder again.
“So tell me, would we still be at loggerheads had you not remembered your childhood days?”
Natasha wondered.
“You want to know if I''d still love you even if I hadn''t regained my memory?” Keh asked in
response.
Natasha stared at him and muttered, “You''re reading too much into my question, but since you
asked, let''s assume that''s what I had in mind.”
Keh''s eyes were locked on her. “Nat, remembering my childhood days did help me realize
you''re fond of me. It also gave me the courage to stop you from leaving. But that was not how I
ascertained my love for you.”
“When did you fall for me then?” Natasha was curious.
“Perhaps, it was the moment we reunited? Maybe the time you nearly got into an ident? Or
maybe when your life was at risk at the hospital? Nat, my feelings for you developed over time. It
didn''t just happen on the spur of the moment,” Keh exined.
Upon hearing those words, Natasha started to get teary-eyed.
“Had I not known you well enough, I would have thought you''d uttered these sweet nothings to
hundreds and thousands of women,” Natasha said while gazing into his eyes.
“Does that mean you know me very well?” Keh asked.
Natasha nodded in response. “I guess so.”
“How?”
Natasha went deep in thought for a moment before answering his question. “I came across your
interview on television when I was living overseas. Seeing you on-screen aroused my curiosity, so I
decided to read more news about you on the inte. That was when I realized you''d been all alone
since I left. Of course, I was also aware of Thea''s presence in your life.”
Keh''s eyes seethed with disdain when he heard that woman''s name.
“At one point, I thought she was the one for you,” Natasha said.
Keh cut in, “I never had any feelings for Thea. Yes, I admit I thought she might be the one for
me when she was working with me. I thought I would fall for her because she knew me well. But
soon, I realized I felt nothing about her. She had never driven me crazy or triggered my emotions,
and I would never give her my all. That was why I immediately told her how I felt about her.”
“How did you tell her your feelings?” Natasha asked.
Keh pondered on her question for a while before giving her an answer. “During one of the
dinners, I told everyone I''ll not marry and might not want any woman in my life.”
“But at that time, Thea was crazy about you, wasn''t it?” Natasha made an assumption.
Admittedly, Keh said, “I think so. Perhaps, I''m partially responsible for all the crazy things she
did.”
Natasha bobbed her head in response. “It''s a rude awakening, but I''m d you''re willing to
acknowledge that.”
Keh turned around and cast her a curious nce. “So all those years, you''d been secretly
observing me?”
“Just once—the interview you did,” Natasha replied.
“Just once? How did you learn about Thea then? She hadn''t appeared when I did that interview,”
Keh analyzed.
Natasha froze for a moment and replied, “Maybe twice? I can''t remember anymore. Anyway, I
hadn''t paid attention to you after Thea entered your life!”
Keh gazed at her affectionately. He was happy with how things had turned out, but at the same
time, he felt sorry for Natasha. Once or twice—it doesn''t matter. What matters most is that she still
cares for me.
Following that thought, Keh wrapped his hands around Natasha''s slender waist and whispered
beside her ear, “Nat, don''t you think we''re a match made in heaven? I was tortured for years, and
you were jealous for years. I say we call it quits, okay?”
