You're Out Daddy

Just when Kenneth was about to say something, Terence came back after dropping the kids off at school.

The two developed a tacit agreement that they would not bring up the matter and cause Terence to worry.

When the latter walked into the room and saw that there were only the two of them, he was rather annoyed. He strode toward Natasha and stared at her. “How are you, Nat? Feeling any better?”

“Yup, I’m all better now, Grandpa.”

“Do you feel any discomfort? Anywhere aching on your body?” Terence was concerned.

Natasha shook her head and replied, “Just some minor abrasions. Don’t worry, Grandpa.”

“Abrasions? Oh dear, any accident can lead to a major problem! You lucked out this time. If any mishap befalls you, what am I going to do?” Terence was fretting.

After mulling it over, Natasha said admittedly, “I didn’t think things through. Sorry, Grandpa, for making you worry. There won’t be a next time, I promise.” Then, she flashed a coy smile at him.

At that instant, Terence’s heart softened, and he did not have the heart to reprimand her anymore.

Meanwhile, Kenneth went into a daze as he stared at Natasha.

This woman can talk about anything to anyone. Sometimes, she jokes casually. Other times, she exudes an imposing aura. But actually, she can be all coy and playful too. Am I the only exception? When she’s in front of me, she has her guard up as though she’s ready to enter the war with me anytime. She makes me feel as if I owe her lots of money!

Then, Kenneth interrupted the silence. “Old Mr. Watson, I’m the one to be blamed. It’s with good intentions that Grandpa gifted Nat with a car, but I wasn’t able to stop the accident from happening. My bad.”

Nat?

Upon hearing that, Natasha lifted her head to look at him. She could not help but shudder when she heard him addressing her dearly.

Why does it sound so creepy when he calls me that?

It turned out Natasha was not the only one who was taken aback. Terence, too, turned to look at Kenneth with a meaningful look in his eyes.

He knew that Kenneth wanted to protect Natasha, but it was all too late now.

Had Kenneth done so many years back, Terence would not have been so angry at him.

Terence commented, “I understand the reasoning, and it’s not your fault…” After a brief pause, he continued, “Anyway, thanks for saving Nat. I’m sure that you’re a busy man, Mr. Hamilton. It’s getting late now, so it’s best I let you go. I’ll take care of the rest.”
