The meal was pretty okay, aside from Natasha eating her food absentmindedly.

After the meal, Zachary accompanied Denise for some time while Terence watched them happily at the side.

Anthony and Benjamin could see what was going on, but not Natasha, because she was planning something.

Sometimes Anthony was glad that his mother wasn’t great at romantic stuff. Otherwise, she would be greatly troubled by it.

After about nine in the night, Zachary was going to leave.

“It’s getting late, Mr. Watson, so I’ll be taking my leave now. I’ll come and visit you again another day,” Zachary promised.

Terence stood and responded, “All right. You can come and visit us whenever you want, Zach.”

“Okay.”

Terence furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Natasha was still deep in her thoughts. “Nat, you should send Zach back.”

Natasha snapped back and nodded. “Okay.”

Zachary quickly rejected, “There’s no need. Nat’s ankle is still swollen. I can head down myself.”

Terence waved. “It’s fine. If she can still go to work like this, she can send you out.”

Natasha was speechless as she stared at her grandfather. What is Grandpa thinking?

Zachary wasn’t sure what to say.

“I also want to send Mr. Zach out,” Denise uttered as she stepped forward. Terence grabbed her collar and stopped her. “It’s time for you to sleep.”

“Gramps.” She pouted.

“Be good, Denise.”

It was pretty obvious that Terence was trying to get Natasha and Zachary together.

Zachary could see that, though he simply smiled but didn’t reject the offer again. At least I know Terence is on my side. I’m getting closer to victory.

“I’ll take my leave now then, Mr. Watson.”

“All right, take care.” Terence bade goodbye at the elevator entrance.

Inside the elevator, Natasha and Zachary stood next to each other.
