Chapter 98
At such close proximity, they could almost hear the sound of each other’s breathing.
Keh had never observed her face so closely before. Her fair and bare face was wless. Her
gaze had a faint distant look, and her eyshes were long and delicate.
Natasha’s perfectly-shaped pink lips glistened alluringly, arousing his desire to kiss her.
Under such an atmosphere, Keh gulped and gradually leaned forward.
However, at that moment, Natasha suddenly stretched out her hand and ced it between them.
“What are you trying to do, Keh?”
Her voice pulled him back to reality.
Sensing his gaffe, Keh wiped the dazed expression off his face and stared at her. “What do
you think I can do?”
“I don’t know what you can do, but I do know that if you dare toy a finger on me, I’ll cripple you!”
Keh was rendered speechless.
She really can’t say anything sensual.
He backed away from her and could not help but say, “Natasha, your face has be prettier, but
there is still nothing attractive about the way you speak and your temperament.”
She arched her brow upon hearing his remark. “It seems you’re still searching for romance even
after all these years, Mr. Hamilton.”
Before he could respond, she continued, “What’s the matter? No one can satisfy you thus far?”

Keh fell silent.
“If that’s the case, I can only say it is because you do not deserve that pleasure!”
Keh remained quiet.
Natasha’s every word was harsh and unforgiving.
The next second, Keh suddenly leaned forward and pressed his body against hers again.
“Have you forgotten how Denise and Benjamin were conceived? I remember you were extremely
sensual that night.”
Natasha did not appear embarrassed or ashamed in the face of his teasing. Instead, she said with
a smile, “Don’t you think I’m very professional? I thought you deserved my affection in the past, but
I realized I was wrong. You are not worthy, after all.”
Natasha’s manner of speaking was indeed ruthless.
Keh was on the verge of exploding with rage, but he continued pretending to be nonchnt.
“I suppose that is my fault then. Why don’t I apologize to you, and you show me your gentle side
again? What do you say?” he asked her with his brows raised.
“For me to make that mistake previously was God’s way of favoring you. Do you think I will repeat
the same error?” Natasha asked.
Suddenly, Keh seized her chin. “Natasha, I do not deny that I treated you horribly in the past,
but I’ve never done anything to wrong you.”
She chuckled. “Don’t you feel guilty when you utter those words?”
“I certainly don’t,” he said firmly while staring at her. “Natasha, we were not acquainted at that time.
We did not understand one another and lived different lifestyles. We were forced to be a couple
because of my grandpa’s order. Do you really think we would be happy when the marriage was not
even voluntary?”
She did not fancy recollecting the past, but Natasha could not contain her urge to speak up under
the current circumstance.
“I don’t know if we would be happy, but I expected my goodwill to be reciprocated when I treat
someone wholeheartedly. I wanted to live an ordinary life. I can ept my partner’s ws as well
as a peaceful and honest separation, but I cannot ept any form of harm,” Natasha enunciated
while meeting his eyes.
Keh was slightly taken aback as he listened to her words.
“You are right. I should not me you. After all, I was hoping to have a home and a family at that
time while you yearned for excitement and love. I was the one asking for too much.”
Despite their argument, his heart inexplicably ached after hearing her speech.
Keh was more or less informed of Natasha’s background due to his grandfather.
He found it unimaginable for Natasha to be as strong as she was even after she had experienced
something like that.
At that instant, Keh did not know what to say. He fell silent for a long while before uttering, “I
wasn’t yearning for excitement and love. Never mind. I don’t know how I should put it either. I
admit that I did not handle that matter well too.”
It was rare for him to say something like that.
Natasha also felt they had spoken too much due to the atmosphere they were currently in.
“All right. It’s getting veryte now. I want to rest.” With that, shey in bed and prepared to sleep.
Keh watched her for some time. In the end, he walked toward the couch that was off to one
side.
Looking at Natasha on the bed, his lips quivered, but he failed to express his mind in the end.
The bright moonlight filtered through the window into the room. Natashay awake on the bed for
a long time, unable to fall asleep.
Images from an incident in the past resurfaced in her mind. A little boy had risked his own life to
save her from a sea of fire.
Regrettably, he had forgotten all about that now.
Meanwhile, Thalia got into her car after she exited the hospital.
She picked up her phone and texted Anthony on WhatsApp: Keh Hamilton is not someone
who will harm your mother, right?
Anthony was usually a light sleeper, especially that night. Since he could not be by Natasha’s side,
he asked Thalia to help guard his mother’s safety. He felt ill at ease and would open his eyes
whenever he sensed the slightest sound or movements.
He frowned after reading Thalia’s message. Then, he replied: No, he’s not. What’s going on?
Thalia: Oh. Everything’s all right then. I made a blunder earlier.
Anthony: What blunder?
Thalia did not know how to begin. She hesitated briefly before typing: I thought he was there to
hurt your mother, so I attacked him.
Anthony asked: Are you injured?
Thalia retorted: Shouldn’t you ask if he’s injured? Hisment hurt her pride because she was
someone who had undergone various training.
Anthony questioned at once: Is he injured then?
Thalia: Well, he’s not.
Anthony did not say a word. Still, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thalia sent a contemptuous reply: This Keh Hamilton is indeed remarkable. His fighting skills
are on par with mine. No wonder so many people offered so much money yet still failed to end his
worthless life.
Anthony did not know what to reply to that.
Worthless life? If his life is worthless, then does that I mean I shouldn’t even be alive?
Thalia: Now that we’ve fought one another, this could be a legendary feat to boast about in
the future.
Anthony: Were you exposed?
Thalia replied: Nope. He doesn’t recognize me anyway.
Anthony: In that case, I can rest assured.
Thalia: Still, do your mom and Keh know each other?
Anthony: Yes.
He did not care to borate further. After all, too many people out there wished to kill Keh. If
they became aware that he was Keh’s son, his life could be in danger too.
Thalia: Are they in a rtionship?
Anthony: No.
Thalia asked: Then why did he go there to guard your mom’s safety at night?
Anthony was stunned upon hearing that.
He did not anticipate Keh to be there sote in the night. Perhaps Keh was not as
heartless as he thought.
His prejudice toward Keh gradually lessened.
Thalia: Hello?
Anthony regained his senses. He stared at his conversation with Thalia and replied: Oh. I almost
dozed off because I was too sleepy. Since there’s someone there, you can go back for now.
Thalia: All right then. I even purposefullyid my hands on a nurse’s uniform. Such a waste of
effort!
Anthony: What? Uniform?
Thalia: You should have seen the way Keh was looking at me! Tsk tsk. I reckon my beauty
must have enticed him!
Anthony: I’m going to sleep. Goodnight!
He wondered what would happen if Thalia became aware of his rtionship with Keh. Will she
kill me on the spot?
