Chapter 53


    Every second of Keh’s silence was torturous to Thea. His silence indicated that he was


    hesitant, or that he did not actually hate Natasha.


    “You don’t hate her anymore?” Although it was a question, it sounded more like an affirmative


    statement.


    Keh looked at her. “She was not the only one at fault for what happened back then.”


    “So you’ve forgiven her?” asked Thea.


    “It’s not about forgiveness. If I hate her, she probably hates me more,” exined Keh. “After


    all, she was the biggest victim.”


    An awkward expression crossed Thea’s face, but she still forced herself to smile. “You’re starting


    to defend her now… Doesn’t it mean that you have forgiven her?”


    “You don’t understand, Thea. Marriage cannot be exined clearly with a few sentences.”


    “Yeah, I don’t understand. After all, I’ve never experienced it. But I can tell that you’re treating her


    differently now,” said Thea as she stared at Keh directly, hoping to detect a small reaction that


    would deny what she had guessed.


    She could discover even the smallest detail.


    However, there was none of that.


    Keh did not deny it.


    Thea averted her gaze, trying her best to conceal her disappointment.


    “Keh, have you fallen in love with her?” she asked.


    Frowning, Keh denied it, “No.”


    “No?”


    “No,” he emphasized.


    Thea stared at him, still wanting to discover something from his gaze. However, she did not know if


    it was because his acting was too good, or if he really did not feel anything.


    Unable to find out anything, she felt extremely conflicted.


    Isn’t this the answer that I want? Why am I still suspecting him?


    Thea took a deep breath. “Okay, let’s stop talking about this. When are you free, Keh? My


    parents would like to treat you to a meal to express their gratitude. If you keep refusing to go, they


    might start to wonder about how I’m treated here.”


    Now that the conversation had changed, Keh felt much more rxed. He nced at the time.


    “What about tomorrow night?”


    “Are you busy during the day?”


    “I’m going to Baykeep for a business trip and will only be back at four in the afternoon,” replied


    Keh.


    Thea nodded. “Tomorrow night, then. Don’t stand us up anymore! Otherwise, my parents will bring


    me away.”


    When she said that, Keh raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “Be honest. Are your parents


    not worried about leaving you here?”


    “Of course they’re worried! But if I can find a boyfriend, they might be more relieved,” said Thea as


    she snuck a peek at him. Is this hint obvious enough?


    He thought about it seriously. “You’ll definitely find a good man.”


    Although Thea was disappointed, she said with a smile, “I think so too.”


    At that moment, Keh’s phone rang. He hesitated when he saw that it was from Liam.


    “Is it Old Mr. Hamilton?”


    Keh nodded.


    “Is he okay now?”


    “He has already been discharged from the hospital, so he’s fine.”


    Thea nodded. “Go ahead and receive your call. I’ll leave now.”


    Keh nodded again.


    After she left, he took a deep breath and epted the call.


    “Grandpa.”


    “You brat! Why didn’t you tell me that Nat got injured?” He was greeted with a harsh scolding from


    Liam the moment he picked the call up.


    Keh was so shocked that he quickly brought the phone away from his ears. After Liam was


    done scolding, he said, “It’s not a serious injury. She just got cut by a knife.”


    “What do you mean, she just got cut by a knife? Are you so heartless?” demanded Liam


    relentlessly.


    Keh knew that no matter what he said, he would never escape this scolding.


    “How did Nat get injured? What happened?” After scolding him, Liam calmed down and continued


    asking.


    Keh thought about it. He could not hide it from Liam, or it would be irreconcble.


    When Liam heard what happened, he became even more furious. “How dare that b*stard covet


    Nat? Is he tired of living? Where is he now?”


    “Pay attention to your health. Don’t let your blood pressure rise again,” reminded Keh.


    “My blood pressure will rise if I don’t kill him! Where is he? I must seek justice for Nat!” yelled Liam


    angrily.


    “You’re a step toote. He has already been arrested.”


    “Huh? So fast?” Liam was angry for nothing. He asked, “How did he get arrested?”


    “Fabian has a lot of evidence, so he just did what was right. He passed everything to the police,”


    exined Keh briefly.


    Liam was stunned when he heard that. If Fabian did it, it means that Keh instructed him to.


    Otherwise, what does Fabian have to do with any of this?


    Upon that thought, Liamughed. “You brat. You’ve finally done something humane.”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    “It’s got nothing to do with me.”


    “Stop denying it! Nat has nothing to do with Fabian. You’re bad at talking. That’s why you’re so


    unpopr with the girls!” said Liam.


    “I’m very popr with the girls!” emphasized Keh.


    “Really? Find a granddaughter-inw for me quickly, then!”


    Keh said, “That’s too much…”


    “You only know how to exaggerate,”ined Liam.


    Not continuing the argument, Keh said, “Don’t inform Old Mr. Watson about this, or he’ll be


    worried. Also, I didn’t tell anyone about this.”


    “Yeah, let’s not say anything hastily. If we make a huge deal over something that never happened,


    we might ruin Nat’s reputation,” agreed Liam.


    “Yeah,” said Keh.


    “Fine. You’ve finally done something good, brat. Since he has already been punished, I have


    nothing to worry about. I’ll visit Nat someday.”


    “Considering your health, you should rest at home.”


    “No way! If I can’t confirm that Nat’s fine, I will not feel relieved,” insisted Liam.


    “She has already returned to work!” said Keh.


    After thinking about it, Liam instructed, “Send the address of her workce to me. I’ll visit her at


    her office.”


    “Are you sure? If you go, you’ll…” Before Keh finished his sentence, he could already imagine


    the scene. He said, “Fine, I’ll send you the address.”


    “Are youing too?”


    “She probably doesn’t want to see me,” replied Keh.


    “You’re right. You shouldn’t go, or Nat might start to ignore me too.”


    Keh was speechless.


    “That’s it. I’m hanging up,” said Liam.


    Just when Keh was about to end the call, Liam suddenly asked, “Does Nat knows that you did


    this?”


    “About Gaston?”


    “Yeah.”


    “She knows.”


    “Was she very touched?”


    When Keh recalled how Natasha reacted, he smirked mockingly. “She told me to mind my


    own business and that she could’ve settled it herself.”


    Liam was silent for a while before praising, “That’s just like Nat’s personality. She’s so


    independent. Very good!”


    Keh was at a loss for words. Whose grandpa is he?
