Chapter 739 They Share The Same Priorities


    Alexia was lying on the bed inside the room with a distracted look on her face.


    She immediately turned around when she heard someone open the door, only to lower her gaze in


    disappointment when she saw who it was.


    “Why are you here?” Alexia asked.


    “I brought you these,” Natasha replied casually as she walked up to her and ced some flowers


    and chocte down on the table.


    Alexia nced at the gifts and furrowed her brows in disdain. “I don''t want them. I''m not a child


    anymore, and I don''t like chocte.”


    “Keh was the one who paid for them,” Natasha added.


    Alexia paused and stared at the flowers and chocte in disbelief. “Really?”


    “Duh! Did you really think I''d buy you this stuff?” Natasha replied.


    Alexia broke into a smile after hearing that. “Fair enough.”


    “Well? Do you want them or not? I could throw them out for you if you like!” Natasha asked while


    pretending to reach for the stuff.


    “Don''t you dare! Those are from my savior! You have no right to throw them out!” Alexia yelled


    anxiously.


    “You said you didn''t want them, right?” Natasha asked.


    “Even if that is the case, I should be the one to throw them out!” Alexia argued.


    Natasha let out a chuckle and released her grip on the chocte and flowers.


    She then sat down on the chair next to the bed.


    Alexia shot her a hostile nce and asked, “Where''s my savior?”


    Instead of answering her question, Natasha simply eyed her from head to toe without saying a


    word.


    Hmm... She looks rather pretty. The world outside has toughened her up a little, but she still has a


    hint of innocence in her. If I recall correctly, I was about her age when I married Keh back then.


    Alexia frowned when she saw Natasha staring at her in silence. “What are you looking at?”


    Having been snapped out of her train of thought, Natasha shed her a smile and said, “Nothing. I


    just thought you look rather pretty, that''s all.”


    Alexia furrowed her brow in confusion.


    What is this woman ying at? Why is sheplimenting me?


    “Don''t think I''ll give you two my blessings simply because youplimented my appearance. As I


    said before, you do not deserve him!” Alexia said with a cautious look on her face.


    Natasha let out a chuckle and asked with a yful grin, “Who else would deserve him if not me?


    You?”


    Alexia was not expecting her to say something like that, so Natasha''s response caught her


    completely off guard. All she could do was stare nervously at Natasha in silence.


    “Ms. Harper, I know you are grateful to Keh for saving your life. Gratitude is indeed a good


    thing, but you should be careful of how you manage it. If you are not careful and end up crossing


    lines you shouldn''t have, then it will only bring you harm in the long run. Do you understand what


    I''m saying?” Natasha continued.


    Alexia looked up at Natasha in shock, but thetter simply maintained a harmless smile as though


    nothing had happened.


    Alexia felt as though Natasha had exposed her deepest and darkest secret.


    After taking a moment to regain herposure, she asked, “How are you so sure that I''m the one


    in the wrong here?”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “I''m sure you know the answer to that question,” Natasha said.


    “As far as I know, nothing is certain until the very end. I believe in fighting for what I want. That''s the


    only way to get the man I want in life.”


    “So, you''re saying that you want to continue fighting, then?”


    “I have thought about giving you two my blessings and moving on, but your actions have


    disappointed me to the core. He deserves someone better than you! He deserves someone who


    loves him more!”


    Since Natasha didn''t feel the need to prove anything, she remained calm as she asked, “Ms.


    Harper, do you know what matters most to him?”


    For some reason, Alexia found herself unable to answer that question.


    “Also, do you know how he prioritizes the people around him?” Natasha pressed on.


    Alexia continued to remained silent.


    “I''ll tell you the answer. Ensuring the well-being of those he cares about is what matters most to him.


    The sequence goes like this—family, friends, lover, then himself.”


    Alexia had wanted to say something in response, but the words seemed stuck in her throat.


    “You look surprised. What''s wrong?” Natasha asked.


    “Lovees third for him? Does that not make you angry?” Alexia asked with a doubtful look in her


    eyes.


    Natasha shook her head. “Why would I be angry?”


    “But he ces his friends before you! How are you okay with that?” Alexia refused to believe that a


    woman would be fine with such a ranking.


    “I''m not angry because that''s how I prioritize the people who matter to me.”


    Alexia couldn''t bring herself toprehend what she had just heard.


    What? How is this possible?


    “Keh and I may not be as close as we were before, but we both know that we would never


    me each other for our actions. Besides, he would be really depressed if he failed to protect me.


    To live on with all that guilt would be such a torture that death would''ve been a more pleasant


    option,” Natasha exined.


    Alexia wasn''t sure if Natasha was telling the truth or if she had made that up.


    “The reason you think I don''t deserve him is exactly why he will never fall in love with you, Ms.


    Harper. You will never win his heart over,” Natasha added.


    “I...” Alexia was desperate to prove herself, but she didn''t know what else she could say.


    She prioritized Keh above everything else, but he did not feel the same way about her.


    Natasha''s words had really made a huge impact on her. After a prolonged moment of silence, she


    shot Natasha a doubtful look and asked, “You''re just making this up, aren''t you?”


    “If you insist on taking it that way, then so be it,” Natasha replied.


    That''s it. I told her everything I had to say. The rest is up to her.


    “Did youe here just to tell me all that?” Alexia asked.


    “Of course not. He insisted that I stake my im on him, so I have no choice but to do this,”


    Natasha replied nonchntly.


    Why do I get this feeling that she''s just trying to show off? Alexia''s forehead creased at the thought


    of that.


    Natasha arched an eyebrow at her. “What, you don''t believe me?”


    She then turned toward the door as she continued, “Oh, well... I''ve said what I came to say, so I''ll let


    him take over from here. Come on in!”


    As it turned out, Keh and Mike had been eavesdropping outside the door the entire time.
