The next day, Natasha was woken up by Kenneth's ringing phone.
She opened her eyes to see Kenneth grabbing his phone from the bedside table.
“Okay, I understand. I'll be down right away.” Kenneth spoke in a low voice.
Natasha gazed at Kenneth sleepily. When she saw him return to the bed, she asked, “What's wrong?”
Kenneth immediately approached her upon noticing that she was awake. “Sorry, did I wake you?”
Natasha nodded.
“Why don't you sleep a little longer? I need to head out for a while to meet Dave,” said Kenneth.
Natasha froze momentarily at the mention of Dave. She blinked her eyes as she sobered up and looked at Kenneth. “No, it's okay. I'll get up and find something to eat.”
Kenneth nodded in response. “Okay.”
With that, Natasha got up and headed toward the bathroom.
While washing up, she froze momentarily when she glanced at the diamond ring on her finger.
Yesterday's scene flashed past her mind. Under the starry night sky, each sentence of Kenneth's seemed to have been ingrained into her brain.
Although there was no over-the-top location or so-called romantic ceremony, to her, last night's proposal was perfect and the most appropriate.
That memory was enough for her to cherish for the rest of her life.
When Natasha thought of that, she gave up on taking off the ring and continued washing up with it on.
A few minutes later, Natasha changed into comfortable clothes before going downstairs. Kenneth had already changed and was on the phone near the window. He wore a black shirt and black pants. It was rare for Natasha to see him in a pure black outfit. The color made his handsomeness pop. Natasha was never one to ogle at others, but when she saw Kenneth, she could not help but thank the Heavens for creating such a handsome man.
This man is simply the best of the best. He's also completely my type.
At that moment, Kenneth turned to look at her. “Are you done, Nat?”
Natasha returned to her senses and nodded. “Yeah, I'm done.”
Kenneth kept his phone in his pocket as he made his way toward her. He noticed the light makeup she had put on and asked, “I see that you're in a good mood today?”
“I guess.”
Kenneth's lips curled into a smile, and he held her hand. “Let's go.”
The duo soon headed out.
It was lively in the living room downstairs.
Natasha and Kenneth only noticed the people there when they arrived.
Mike, Luke, Alexia, and Dave were there.
At the couple's appearance, the people in the living room also turned to look at them.
In an instant, Alexia and Natasha's eyes met.
Natasha was surprised to see Alexia smiling the moment the latter met her gaze.
Naturally, she returned the smile.
As long as the other party had no ill intentions, Natasha generally would not mind it too much.
Kenneth held Natasha's hand as they continued down the stairs.
Mike could not help but stand up when he saw the couple walking toward them. “Kenneth, do you need to hold her hand while walking down such a small flight of stairs? Why are you showering us with PDA this early in the morning?”
When they reached the bottom of the steps, Kenneth replied, “I got used to it.”
Everyone was rendered speechless.
Too much PDA!
The others were trying hard not to roll their eyes at the couple.
Dave abruptly chuckled before standing up. “All right. It's great that you're used to it. After all, our J is now a changed man!”
Everyone stared at Kenneth in amusement.
The man ignored them and turned to look at Natasha instead. “We're going to discuss a few things, so you go and look for something to eat. I'll see you in a bit.”
