Chapter 27
That weekend, Natasha and the others settled on a time for lunch.
Keh, who rarely showed up, went to the Hamilton residence early in the morning.
Liam was busy picking out his clothes when he saw Keh there. The former shot a look over,
then said sarcastically, “Hey, wow! Look at that. The elusive Keh Hamilton has graced us with
his presence. What brings you home?”
Keh satzily on the couch and replied, “It’s been a while since Ist visited, so I thought I’d
drop by to see how you’re doing.”
He never actually said what his intentions were, but Liam knew about them all too well.
“You don’t even pick up my calls, but now you’re suddenly interested in my wellbeing?” teased
Liam as he checked his own reflection in the mirror.
“I wasn’t deliberately avoiding your calls. The only reason I didn’t pick up was that I was in a
middle of a meeting.”
“Uh-huh, sure. You are simply that busy. Go ahead and work. You don’t need to worry about me at
all.”
Liam’s sarcastic tone rendered Keh speechless.
By then, Liam had finally picked out a nice outfit. He stared at the mirror for a while before nodding
happily.
He turned around and saw Keh sitting there like a deity. That prompted Liam to roll his eyes.
“Okay then, you’ve seen how I’m doing, so you can leave now. It’s almost time, and I have to go.”
After saying that, Liam walked right out without waiting for a response from Keh. “Let’s go,
Dan.”
Keh stared. That man definitely did it on purpose.
No one knew what Keh was nning when he was sitting on that couch, but out of nowhere,
Thea called him. “Keh, are you busy?”
“No. I can talk.”
“It’s nothing important, actually. It’s just that there are a couple of things regarding a few of our
projects, and I think it’s best if we discuss those matters in person. If you’re free, how about we
meet up and have a meal together? We can talk about work then.”
Keh didn’t reply.
“Oh, wait. I forgot you have ns for today. Uh, maybe we can meet up after that?” asked Thea.
“There’s no need for that. Didn’t you say you want to have a meal at Infinitium? Let’s meet there,”
suggested Keh.
Thea was taken aback, but glee filled her at the very next second. “Okay, then I’ll see youter.”
Keh hung up the call after that.
At Infinitium.
Keh was already there when Thea showed up.
She went the extra mile to doll herself up and was skipping with happiness when she thought
about how Keh remembered her wanting to try the restaurant out.
I guess a small part of him cares about me.
That day, Thea didn’t wear a formal outfit, which she regrly wore. Her get-up that day was
especially sexy.
As the two of them sat opposite one another, Thea asked, “Keh, what would you like to have?”
“I’m good with anything,” replied Keh. As he spoke, he kept his gaze on the door. It seemed he
was deep in thoughts.
“Okay, then I’ll do the ordering. They hired a new chef, and there are a few rmended dishes.
Let’s try them,” said Thea. After that, she ordered a few dishes, some of which matched Keh’s
tastes.
After she ced the orders, she turned her attention to Keh. Her eyes glowed with a hint of
seduction and femininity. “By the way, didn’t you say that you have ns for today? How did you
suddenly free up your time?”
“My ns changed at thest second,” replied Keh.
“Should we talk about work now or after our meal?” asked Thea.
“Let’s do that after,” answered Keh. He wasn’t in the mood to talk about work at all.
Thea nodded and replied, “Okay.”
She didn’t know why, but that day, she felt as though Keh truly cared about her.
She was about to say something else when Keh suddenly said, “I need to go make a call.”
Thea nodded. “Okay.”
Natasha and Terence were stuck in traffic, so they werete.
In the corridor…
Natasha could tell that Terence felt a little uneasy, so she said, “Grandpa, you’re simply having a
meal with an old friend, so rx.”
“I’ve known Liam for years, and he can read me like a book. I’m just worried that I’d slip up. What if
he learns about Anthony and the others?” said Terence, who was a little worried.
Natasha grinned. “Old Mr. Hamilton knows you well, but there is no way he can read your mind. No
one will know about the kids so long as you don’t mention them.”
Terence took a deep breath. “I know that. I just can’t seem to get my heart to stop worrying.”
As he spoke, he tilted his head up. That was when he saw the guy standing in front of him.
Keh happened to be there, and both Natasha and Terence felt a pang of guilt in their hearts.
Keh murmured something to end his phone call and hung up before he walked to them.
“Old Mr. Watson, it’s been so long,” greeted Keh. Given how calm he looked, it was likely he
didn’t overhear anything.
“Mm,” replied Terence. His response was half-hearted, and his smile turned upside down the
second he saw Keh there. It was clear that the old man wasn’t fond of the young one.
Natasha, on the other hand, didn’t look off. She turned to Keh and asked, “What are you doing
here?”
Before Keh could even answer that, someone opened the door to the private room from the
other side. Liam appeared at the entrance. He cussed internally when he saw the young man
standing right outside. D*mn it. I didn’t think he’d sneak his way in here.
Liam ignored his grandsonpletely and said, “Nat, you’re here! Come in,e in.”
“Liam, what is going on here?”ined Terence right away. He’s well aware of the situation, so
why did he let Keh tag along?
Keh didn’t want to put Liam in a difficult position, so he spoke up. “I am here for work, actually.
I didn’t expect to run into you either.”
Good, at least that punk isn’tpletely useless. Liam grinned immediately and said, “I have no
idea what is up with this kid and his schedule, either. We don’t need to care about him, though.
Just ignore him and share a meal together.” After that, he gestured for everyone to go in but
mercilessly shut the door in Keh’s face.
Keh was momentarily stunned behind the door. He then made his way back to his table.
The dishes were already served when Keh returned.
There was even a bottle of decanted red wine sitting there. “Keh, I heard that these dishes go
well with red wine. Let’s share a bottle today.”
Keh picked up the winess in front of him and downed everything in one go.
“Slow down. You should eat something, too.”
Keh’s mind waspletely elsewhere.

The ambiance inside the private room, on the other hand, was happy and peaceful.
Liam was attentive, and the dishes he ordered were the ones Keh and Natasha would enjoy.
The two elderly men were always arguing with each other, but it was nothing to be concerned
about. That was simply their way of interacting with each other.
“Nat, take a seat. I remember that you enjoy dishes like these, but I don’t know if you’ve changed
since then. If these are not to your liking, feel free to order something else,” offered Liam warmly.
Natasha grinned. “Thank you, Old Mr. Hamilton. I love them.”
“I’m d to hear that,” replied Liam before he turned his attention to Terence and frowned. “Stop
frowning, Terence. I ordered the food you like, too. Geez, why do you always look at me as though
I am a viin?”
Terence kept eating away, but he was scowling the entire time.
“Seriously, what is wrong with you, old man? Stop eating if you’re that unhappy to do so,” said
Liam, who tried to move the table away.
Terence’s temper rose as well. “Why should I stop eating? Just because you say so? Hah! I’m so
eating it. In fact, I’m going to eat so much that you go bankrupt!” growled Terence before he moved
the table closer to him again and chowed down.
Natasha grinned but didn’tin when she saw them arguing like they always had. It was as
though they had gone back in time.
