At such close proximity, they could almost hear the sound of each other’s breathing.

Kenneth had never observed her face so closely before. Her fair and bare face was flawless. Her gaze had a faint distant look, and her eyelashes were long and delicate.

Natasha’s perfectly-shaped pink lips glistened alluringly, arousing his desire to kiss her.

Under such an atmosphere, Kenneth gulped and gradually leaned forward.

However, at that moment, Natasha suddenly stretched out her hand and placed it between them. “What are you trying to do, Kenneth?”

Her voice pulled him back to reality.

Sensing his gaffe, Kenneth 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 to lay a finger on me, I’ll cripple you!”

Kenneth 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 become 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?”

Kenneth fell silent.

“If that’s the case, I can only say it is because you do not deserve that pleasure!”

Kenneth remained quiet.

Natasha’s every word was harsh and unforgiving.

The next second, Kenneth 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.
