The atmosphere instantly got so awkward that Natasha was at a loss of how to react.

Monitoring the evolvement of the situation and amidst concern that Zachary would be upset, Terence promptly intervened. “Come on, Liam. Let’s head outside for a chat.” Tilting his head, he motioned for the latter to follow.

Given the long history between the pair, Liam understood his counterpart’s intention at one glance. The sight of Zachary reduced Liam’s mouth to a pout. “Yeah, fine.”

On the way out, Liam turned and cast a glance at Kenneth. “You, stay here and take care of Nat.”

Whereas Kenneth nodded in acknowledgment, Natasha was rendered speechless.

The two of them did it on purpose, didn’t they?

From there, the room was left with just Natasha, Zachary, the two children, and Kenneth.

The atmosphere, too, was peculiar in its own way.

Regarding the two little ones, Natasha said, “Go and do your homework.”

In response, Benjamin and Denise nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Hence, off went the two of them.

Reacting to the situation, Kenneth went over to the pair of tykes. “I’ll help guide you along.”

Hearing that put a broad smile on Denise’s lips. She, however, reined herself in when she noticed the way Natasha was looking at her. “Thank you, Mr. Handsome.”

“Don’t mention it,” replied Kenneth with a warm smile. He then cast an eye over his own shoulder toward Natasha with his brows perked in an act of provocation.

Natasha rolled her eyes at him.

Childish.

All of that did not escape Zachary. Yet, he acted as though he was unaware while he addressed Natasha. “Would you like to have some fruits?”

Natasha was about to respond in the negative when Zachary picked up one. “Denise told me that oranges are your favorites.”

Natasha made no denial of that. “The little girl tells you everything, doesn’t she?”

Declining to reply, Zachary simply peeled an orange for her. “Try this one.”

Natasha inspected it before she took it from him. “Thank you.” Then, she popped it into her mouth.

“How is it? Is it sweet?”

Natasha nodded. “Very.”
