Chapter 168 You Called Me Baby


    Chapter 168 You Called Me Baby


    The night in November was heavily frosty and moist. When the moon brightly shone outside the


    window, the wind was blowing the fallen leaves.


    Natalie was crying in a faint voice in the house. She was suppressing her trembling sobs, sounding


    aggrieved and pitiful. She didn''t want to cry.


    She wept to the moon on the steps, thinking no one could see the trace after the cold wind dried her


    tears.


    But Kendrick came.


    The moment she saw him,plex emotions intertwined and engulfed her so violently that more tears


    welled up.


    Then, he hugged her in his arms. She leaned against his chest, letting tears wet his shirt. He didn''t ask


    the reason and hugged her in silence.


    After she gradually calmed down, he pressed his lips against her forehead and gently wiped the tears


    off the corners of her eyes with a tissue. When he was about to speak, she suddenly asked in a muffled


    voice, "Do you like me?"


    She had asked this question once.


    This time, he gave the same answer, saying, "Who else can I like but you?"


    He pushed her tear-stained hair behind her ears with his fingers and added, "You are my wife!"


    They were eternal soulmates in a marriage. They understood each other and would grow old together.


    Natalie scratched her head and clenched her fists, hesitating to speak. She almost had a mental


    breakdown, so she anxiously asked, "Is it the only reason?"


    Kendrick thought about it in silence. After a long while, he slowly said, "You suddenly told me you did


    not want a divorce and would start to change. Then, you said we are the closest people in the world


    because we''re married. That''s when I started to seriously think about our rtionship."


    Before that day, he had just regarded her as a stranger who lived under the same roof as him. So, he


    had not paid much attention to her.


    Then, he lightly brushed his fingers across her cheek with a trace of apology on his face and began to

    reflect on himself, saying, "Sorry, it''s the first time I have fallen in love. I haven''t seriously chased after a


    girl before. I''m sorry if I did anything that made you unhappy."


    He had never dated other women before. She was his wife, so he had missed many processes. He


    guessed she was unhappy because she felt he did not respect her enough. Respect was the


    prerequisite of a good rtionship.


    Natalie had been upset with herself for a long time. Hearing him coax her, she felt much better. When a


    woman fell in love, it was hard for her to maintain 100% rationality. So, it was normal for her to split


    hairs.


    Natalie said, "Grandpa said you spoiled me too much because you always make exceptions for me. He


    thinks you changed."


    Kendrick faintly smiled, "He lectured me because he does not want me to be too emotional when doing


    things. It has nothing to do with you. You don''t need to take such words seriously."


    He suddenly became solemn and continued, "Compared with what you did for me, what I did is


    insignificant."


    He tightly hugged her as if being afraid of losing her. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Nat, it is


    not until now that I feel like a human being instead of a machine."


    Thanks to her, he finally had the emotions of a normal person after living in the world for twenty years.


    She had taught him how to love, respect, and think for others.


    Hearing his words, Natalie felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes again.


    Anyway, it was fate that had brought them together.


    If she hadn''te, he wouldn''t havee so gentle and considerate. He would have continued to live


    like a cold and emotionless machine that could not feel the warmth of the world.


    Fate was illusory and inurate, so theirpanionship and love were more important. Elsie


    Williamson would be no match for her! Natalie believed Kendrick wouldn''t spare one more look at her.


    She sniffed, recovered from the depression, and said, "Actually, I heard..."


    She stroked her hair and frankly continued, "Grandpa and Edgar said you used to be engaged to Elsie,


    the youngdy of the Williamson family. They told me you two were a perfect match ording to the


    astrological result!"


    She had felt ufortable since hearing such words. After Elsie''s visit today, her mood became even


    worse.


    Kendrick frowned. He had heard of his engagement to the daughter of the Williamson family. But no


    one had mentioned it for many years, so he did not know the inside story.


    So, he exined, "I have no dealings with Elsie. And I have never heard of the engagement."


    He thought the two old men were too gossipy. Why had they suddenly mentioned the matter most


    people had long forgotten? He hoped they could close the door when exchanging gossip.


    He stared at her and softly said, "I don''t believe in astrology. I trust my judgment and know who is good


    to me."


    He believed his affectionate words deserved a kiss!


    Natalie lowered her eyes, feeling she was unreasonable and emotional. She thought it was wrong to


    cry for a man every day and felt annoyed. She used to scold such people. But now, she had be


    one of them.


    It must be because Kendrick was so charming that she had lost her wits for him. Otherwise, she would


    not have worried about losing him when they were leading a happy life together.


    She suddenly opened her mouth and bit his shoulder. After leaving a tooth mark, she reached out to


    pat him and hoarsely said, "You are annoying!"


    Kendrick froze because it was different from what he had imagined. He had thought they would


    affectionately look at each other and have a passionate kiss.


    Soon, she leaned over, pretended to be angry, and said, "You make me not like myself."


    Kendrick held her chin and said in a deep voice, "You did the same to me!"


    He used to be proud of his calmness, self-esteem, and principles. But she had removed all of them.


    Natalie puffed out her cheeks, looking cute and smart. She rubbed her face against his chest, raised


    her eyes, and rested her head on his shoulder, shyly whispering, "What did you call mest time?"


    Kendrick was a jerk. He had forgotten what he had said only a few days ago.


    She reminded him, adding, "In the hospital!"


    She had pretended to be cold and reserved then. But now, she wanted to hear him flirtatiously and


    dotingly call her baby in a deep voice again.


    But he was still trying to recall with a frown.


    She couldn''t take it anymore, so she said, "You called me baby!"


    Hearing this, he smiled, bit her earlobe, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Baby."


    She felt healed and sweat as if her heart was full of bubbling peach-vored soda. The pink and heart-


    shaped bubbles gathered together as if intending to raise her heart.


    Natalie regained her good mood, so she reached out and hooked an arm around his neck. When she


    was about to sweetly smile at him to express her love, a snot bubble popped out. After all, she had just


    cried badly.


    D*mn it!


    Kendrick held back hisughter and took out a tissue to wipe her face.


    He must notugh at her. Otherwise, she would cry again.


    When he lowered his head, he looked gentle and meticulous. Under the light, his handsome face gave


    him warmth.


    He was so patient and tolerant, so her uneasy and lonely heart calmed down a little bit. She instantly


    loved him even more, so she held his chin with both hands, imitated the way he had kissed herst


    time, poked the tip of her tongue into his mouth, and heavily licked the roof of his mouth.
