After hearing Dave's sigh, Kenneth's eyes slightly narrowed. “More than a decade... Why do I feel like you're implying that I'm old?”
Upon hearing this, Dave looked at him and asked, “How old are you? Don't you have any idea?”
Kenneth's gaze unconsciously shifted toward Natasha, and then he looked at Dave and said seriously, “What are you talking about? I'm still young!”
Dave couldn't possibly not know what the look in his eyes meant.
Upon hearing the sound, Natasha also lowered her gaze with a gentle smile.
His intentions were just too obvious.
Dave looked at him and said softly, “Have some shame, will you?”
However, Kenneth didn't care at all and looked at him. “Dave, with your emotional intelligence, it's no wonder you haven't had any friends all these years!”
“I've got enough trouble with just one friend like you!”
“True. After all, only I can put up with you,” Kenneth said, then turned his head to look at Natasha. “Nat, that's just how it is. Don't listen to his nonsense.”
At that moment, Natasha looked at him with a smile. “Kenneth, I'm only two years younger than you.”
Kenneth was slightly stunned.
Only then did they recall the memories of growing up together since childhood.
Natasha knew his age and everything about him like the back of her hand.
After a brief pause, Kenneth spoke up. “If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought you were just twenty years old!”
Even though Natasha knew that Kenneth was joking, she couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.
Recently, whenever she was with Kenneth, her smile never faded.
However, Dave, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. “Kenneth, enough already!”
Upon hearing that, Kenneth looked at him and asked, “What's the matter? Am I wrong? Or do you have a different opinion?”
Um. Isn't this just intentionally setting someone up for failure?
Dave took a deep breath and said, “I just feel that when those words come out of your mouth, they sound particularly hypocritical!”
Kenneth looked at Natasha again, stirring up trouble right in front of her. “Nat, what he's saying is that you don't look like it, and I'm telling lies!”
Dave said, “Kenneth, just be a good person.”
“Nat, see? That man deserves to be single,” Kenneth continued.
At that moment, Natasha smiled and said, “As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You see me with a filter, unlike Dave!”
With her casual remark, she dissolved the “hatred” in the air.
Dave listened, his gaze faintly shifting away from Natasha's body.
He laughed and didn't say much more.
However, Kenneth looked straight at her and said, “It's not a filter, it's real. In my eyes, you truly are the best in the world!”
Natasha looked at him, smiling.
In the end, Kenneth couldn't help himself and leaned in, planting a kiss on Natasha's lips.
Dave chuckled and said, “That's enough. If you keep showing off your affection like this, we won't be able to drink anymore!”
Kenneth then returned to his seat and whispered, “We're not showing off our affection, we're clearly making a public display of affection!”
“I'm done drinking!” With that, Dave stood up and left.
Upon seeing the situation, Natasha spoke up directly. “All right, all right, stop making a fuss!”
Kenneth sat there, looking at him with a teasing smile. “Don't stop him. Let him go. Let's see if he can bear to leave this wine!”
Dave returned to his seat and looked at him. “If I really leave, it would be just as you wanted. Don't even think about it!”
As they spoke, they began to laugh.
At that moment, Natasha also drank the wine in her glass and looked at them. “All right, I need to go upstairs and take a bath. You guys continue.”
Kenneth knew that she was intentionally leaving room for them, so he didn't stop her. He nodded and said, “Okay.”
Natasha looked at Dave and said, “Enjoy your drinks.”
