You're Out Daddy

“You’re ungrateful, Natasha! Let me give you some advice. You’ll be abandoned one day if you don’t learn to control your temper,” said Kenneth.

“Thank you for your reminder. I will rather be single forever if I meet men like you.”

There was tension between the both of them.

With that, Natasha hung up the phone.

She was not angry, as she felt much better after shouting. She threw her phone to one side before closing her eyes to sleep.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was infuriated.

He called her as he was worried for her. Never would he thought that she would mock him.

This woman is really ungrateful!

He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. However, he remained frustrated.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became and felt that Natasha was a boring person.

At this moment, Thea walked in. “Kenneth.”

Seeing that Kenneth was smoking, Thea’s lips curled into a faint smile. “It’s not often that I see you smoking. What happened? Do you have something on your mind?”

Kenneth snuffed out his cigarette and replied, “It’s nothing.”

“Why are you smoking if it’s nothing? Are you trying to act cool?” Thea asked with a smile.

She had to admit that Kenneth’s smoking was mesmerizing.

His every action held elegance. Even if he was smoking, it only made him look even more mysterious.

Kenneth smiled and asked simply, “How’s the surgery?”

“It’s very successful.” Thea let out a sigh of relief.

Kenneth nodded. “That’s good. Then, he will be discharged from the hospital soon.”

Thea nodded. “That’s right. No matter what, I have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know what to do now.”

“You’ve already said that many times. If you’re grateful, show it with your actions.”

As Thea looked at him, a strange emotion flashed past her eyes. “How do you want me to repay you?”

“I’ll let you know once things are settled.” With that, Kenneth glanced at his watch. “It’s late. I’ll take my leave first.”

Even though she was reluctant to part with him, she knew she could not keep him here forever.
