In the face of such an unexpected confession, inexplicable emotions flashed across Natasha's eyes, but she did not say anything.
However, Kenneth only stared at her with a smile. “Let’s go.”
With that, he took her hand and put it on his arm.
When he held her hand, he noticed the bruises on her wrist and he frowned, seemingly concerned.
In the car, Kenneth gazed at Natasha and asked in a low voice, “Is that friend of yours a doctor?”
Surprised, Natasha turned around to look at him, and their eyes met. “How did you know? Do you know him?”
Kenneth pursed his lips but did not speak. His dark eyes fell on her wrist worriedly. “What happened to your wrist?”
Natasha lowered her eyes to look at her own wrist. It was dark inside the car, and the bruises were not visible. So, Kenneth must have already seen them a moment ago.
She pursed her lips. “It's nothing but some old injury.”
“Each time you go to Grecia Hotel, is it to seek treatment from him?” Kenneth's eyebrows were raised as he looked at her questioningly.
He remembered that the last time he met Natasha in Grecia Hotel, she did not look well. He had hurt her unintentionally when he grasped her hand. At that time, he had thought it was Gary who injured her, so he did not think too much about it, but he once again saw the bruises on her wrist today. So, he put two and two together.
Natasha did not deny it but rather nodded. “Yeah.”
Kenneth frowned. “Why didn't you tell me? I can recommend a better doctor.”
She curled her lips. “He knows everything about my injuries. If he cannot help, no one can. He is the best doctor for this!”
Natasha turned around to look him straight in the eye as she spoke.
Kenneth was not pleased to hear her complimenting another man, so he frowned, feeling upset.
“Why do you trust him so much?” Kenneth asked, looking at her. There were no changes in his facial expression but the jealousy in his tone was so obvious that even the driver could sense it.
Natasha was not insensitive, so she had detected it, too. However, she was uncertain as to how she should respond.
After some thought, she spoke. “Of course. He is my friend, so I do trust him.”
Kenneth narrowed his eyes, looking at her. “He's your friend? Just a friend?”
“Yeah. Who else do you think he is to me?” Natasha replied with a question. Her eyes were glimmering, making her look even more attractive.
After that, she seemed to remember something and said with sarcasm, “Oh, I almost forgot. To you, there might be many
types of 'friends,' but I'm not like you. To me, there is only one type of friend. A friend is just a friend.”
Even though he knew she was mocking him, Kenneth was not angry at all.
Instead, her method of explanation brought a smile to his face.
He knew how Natasha handled relationships.
She saw everything in black and white.
Although he was rather upset to see her walking out of Grecia Hotel with Spencer in the beginning, he could sense that there was nothing between them when he watched closely. The way Spencer looked at Natasha was different from the way Zachary did.
Although they seemed close, a man could tell what another man was thinking from his gaze.
In Spencer's eyes, there was no desire for Natasha.
Plus, when Kenneth took Natasha's hand, the look in her eyes was strange, but she didn't get angry.
Hearing Natasha make that explanation, he completely calmed down and felt at ease.
Kenneth looked at her, his usually low voice raised slightly, tinged with some pleasure. “In the future, I will follow your example. I'll only have one type of friend, and I'll listen to whatever you say.”
Natasha fell silent.
As she looked at his charming face and his deep eyes, she didn't know what to say.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Hotel Manor.
