You're Out Daddy

“But what?” Kenneth asked.

“But Denise has never been apart from her brothers. If you only take her away, I don’t think she’d be easy to handle. Even if the kid reluctantly goes with you, you can forget about hooking up with other women in the future. Otherwise, she will make your life a living hell. So, I strongly recommend that you drop that idea if you don’t want your philandering lifestyle to be affected,” Natasha earnestly advised.

“Philandering lifestyle? Natasha, have I been involved in any scandals since we divorced?” Kenneth retorted, eyes narrowing at her choice of words. My goodness. Do I have to spell everything out for her? Can’t she see for herself?

“Sorry, I haven’t been paying attention since then.”

“Well, I can tell you it’s a big fat resounding no!”

Natasha raised her eyebrows as she suddenly thought of someone. “Does Thea not count?”

A frown instantly crept across Kenneth’s face. “She and I merely had a platonic friendship.”

“In that case, you sure have loose boundaries with your friends, Mr. Hamilton,” Natasha answered with a half-smile.

“I admit I’ve taken advantage of the rumors she and I had to avoid unnecessary trouble. But I swear I’ve never crossed the line with her,” Kenneth stressed as his gaze grew dark and stern.

Natasha instinctively closed her eyes, not wanting to meet his.

Although Kenneth hadn’t made himself explicitly clear, he had dropped enough hints that even she could pick up on.

However, after having been bitten once, how could she still bring herself to trust the man who had failed her?

It wouldn’t make a difference even if he were telling the truth.

“Truth be told, you don’t have to go out of your way to explain your relationship with her. I was only making a passing comment,” Natasha said calmly.

Kenneth stared intently at her as he spoke. “Be that as it may, I still feel the need to make things clear to you. Also, I have no intention of finding another woman for the rest of my life…”

With that, there was no doubt he had made his intentions clear.

Natasha, however, merely continued to eat, pretending not to have heard or understood his words. On top of that, she didn’t give any reaction away either.
