Chapter 173 I Miss You
When Natalie had been gathering soil in the garden next to the ancestral temple, Kendrick had accompanied her, picked up a straw, and woven it into a delicate ring. He had dotted the ring with a blue flower after looking for it for a long time.
It was romantic for a rich young man with a net worth of hundreds of billions to give her a straw ring!
"Ms. Quinn, the ring is simple. I hope you won't dislike it!"
He had solemnly called her Ms. Quinn instead of Nat as if it were their first meet.
After Natalie had asked him if he liked her that day, he had thought about it for a long time.
He had never chased after her and had missed all the necessary rituals, so she felt insecure. Although they were married, they still needed a sense of ceremony in their life.
He added, "I'll give you a diamond ring soon. You just need to wait for it!"
He would buy a super big fancy-vivid level diamond ring. It would be at least 20 carats. Otherwise, it would not be worthy of Nat who was the best person in the world! But there had not been such a diamond at auctions recently, so he needed to wait.
He wanted to buy a pink diamond which was more suitable for a marriage proposal, but Nat seemed to prefer blue. Maybe he should buy two rings for her.
After thinking about it, Kendrick decided to keep a low profile and stay mysterious. It would be boring if it did not surprise her.
Once a man cared about a woman, he would naturally become romantic.
Natalie raised her hand before her eyes, pretended it was a real ring, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Look! It's shining!"
After putting her hand down, she said, "I will keep it in a box when we return home."
It was too exaggerated!
Kendrick laughed, "Why don't you boil it and make it a specimen?"
"Good idea!"
When the method for making leaf specimens in biology textbooks flashed through Natalie's mind, she accidentally saw faint bloodstains on his fingertip. It seemed he had gotten hurt when looking for the ring materials.
He was noble and cold, so he should not have used his hands to do such things.
She instantly held his hand up and blew it. She felt so distressed that she sucked his finger.
When her warm and humid mouth wrapped around his slightly tingling finger, he instantly raised his eyes in shock.
Natalie widened her eyes to look at him, unaware her action was a fatal temptation for a man.
Kendrick felt thirsty. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his deep eyes darkened.
After cleaning up the blood stains with the tip of her tongue, she wiped his fingers with an alcohol swab and said, "The cut is small, so it will heal soon."
He withdrew his hand and covered his eyes, suppressing his sexual urges.

Natalie arranged her domestic affairs, packed her luggage, and flew to Audale in the early morning.
Getting into the private jet, she once again felt nice to be rich.
Kendrick had bought this Gulfstream G650 the year before last for international long-distance business trips.
Seth was more tolerant toward Kendrick because of the latter's health condition. When Melvin had wanted to buy a private jet, Seth had objected. The old man was clear about many things but inevitably had limitations.
When the plane landed at the airport in Audale, Alin had come to pick her up after taking Kendrick's order. The mixed-race girl looked haggard. But seeing Natalie, she still smiled, "Nat, nice to meet you. I'm Alin. Kendrick's cousin!"
After a brief communication, Alin drove Natalie to the hotel. She would take her to visit Susan tomorrow.
Natalie then read the document from Owen to study Susan's condition in the hotel room.
The tumor had widely spread. They could only cut part of it and then remove the rest.
But it required accurate surgical skills. Any mistake could cause Susan's death. That was why the medical team was reluctant to conduct the surgery. No one dared to take the risk.
