My Disabled CEO Stood up And Kissed Me (Natalie) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 You Called Me Baby

The night in November was heavily frosty and moist. When the moon brightly shone outside the window, the wind was blowing the fallen leaves.

Natalie was crying in a faint voice in the house. She was suppressing her trembling sobs, sounding aggrieved and pitiful. She didn't want to cry.

She wept to the moon on the steps, thinking no one could see the trace after the cold wind dried her tears.

But Kendrick came.

The moment she saw him, complex emotions intertwined and engulfed her so violently that more tears welled up.

Then, he hugged her in his arms. She leaned against his chest, letting tears wet his shirt. He didn't ask the reason and hugged her in silence.

After she gradually calmed down, he pressed his lips against her forehead and gently wiped the tears off the corners of her eyes with a tissue. When he was about to speak, she suddenly asked in a muffled voice, "Do you like me?"

She had asked this question once.

This time, he gave the same answer, saying, "Who else can I like but you?"

He pushed her tear-stained hair behind her ears with his fingers and added, "You are my wife!"

They were eternal soulmates in a marriage. They understood each other and would grow old together.

Natalie scratched her head and clenched her fists, hesitating to speak. She almost had a mental breakdown, so she anxiously asked, "Is it the only reason?"

Kendrick thought about it in silence. After a long while, he slowly said, "You suddenly told me you did not want a divorce and would start to change. Then, you said we are the closest people in the world because we're married. That's when I started to seriously think about our relationship."

Before that day, he had just regarded her as a stranger who lived under the same roof as him. So, he had not paid much attention to her.

Then, he lightly brushed his fingers across her cheek with a trace of apology on his face and began to reflect on himself, saying, "Sorry, it's the first time I have fallen in love. I haven't seriously chased after a girl before. I'm sorry if I did anything that made you unhappy."

He had never dated other women before. She was his wife, so he had missed many processes. He guessed she was unhappy because she felt he did not respect her enough. Respect was the prerequisite of a good relationship.

Natalie had been upset with herself for a long time. Hearing him coax her, she felt much better. When a woman fell in love, it was hard for her to maintain 100% rationality. So, it was normal for her to split hairs.

Natalie said, "Grandpa said you spoiled me too much because you always make exceptions for me. He thinks you changed."

Kendrick faintly smiled, "He lectured me because he does not want me to be too emotional when doing things. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to take such words seriously."

He suddenly became solemn and continued, "Compared with what you did for me, what I did is insignificant."

He tightly hugged her as if being afraid of losing her. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Nat, it is not until now that I feel like a human being instead of a machine."

Thanks to her, he finally had the emotions of a normal person after living in the world for twenty years. She had taught him how to love, respect, and think for others.

Hearing his words, Natalie felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Anyway, it was fate that had brought them together.

If she hadn't come, he wouldn't have come so gentle and considerate. He would have continued to live like a cold and emotionless machine that could not feel the warmth of the world.

Fate was illusory and inaccurate, so their companionship and love were more important. Elsie Williamson would be no match for her! Natalie believed Kendrick wouldn't spare one more look at her.

She sniffed, recovered from the depression, and said, "Actually, I heard..."
