Chapter 183 Will You Sleep with Me Tonight
"Yes, she had the meals on time." Ashlynn parroted what Natalie told her, "Mrs. Ramsey said she didn't dare to skip any meals."
Kendrick was speechless.
Was Natalie still angry with him?
He covered his face with his hands, wondering if he should rush home now.
His mobile phone buzzed. He had a meeting in the afternoon. It was a replay meeting of the promotion campaign.
The news that Kendrick lost his temper in the morning meeting spread quickly. As a result, the staff from the Cosmetics Department was frightened. Natalie was absent, and no one could confront the angry president.
To their surprise, Kendrick seemed amiable at the meeting.
He praised them for working hard and exceeding their performance target.
Therefore, he doubled their team-building budget. As Natalie was not feeling well and was away on sick leave these days, the department would postpone the dinner party until she got better.
Kendrick was gentle and kind. Instead of picking on them and scolding them, he praised and encouraged them.
As a result, the staff was willing to work for the Ramsey Group for the rest of their life.
...
In the afternoon, Natalie watched a movie alone.
There was a constant buzz of texts on her mobile phone.
Her colleagues were concerned about her health.
They said Kendrick had doubled the team-building budget, and they would have a dinner party when she got better.
It could be seen that they were genuinely happy and hoped she could get well soon.
After Natalie replied to all the messages, she left the movie theatre on the basement floor and went upstairs, running across Kendrick who had just come back.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon.
He came back early.
Their eyes met, and he took the initiative and said, "Nat, hang up the clothes for me."
"Okay."
Natalie went up and took his coat, hanging it on the clothes rack.
He had just come back from outside, and his face was pale because of the coldness. As a result, his eyes looked deeper. She couldn't help reaching out to cup his face and warm him up.
Kendrick held her hands. He could feel the warmth of her palms on his face.
He handed her the chestnut pie hot from the oven and said, "It's still hot."
...
Kendrick bought Natalie a chestnut pie to coax her.
He also bought a big bouquet of lilies of the valley and put it in her room.
He even wrote the work plan of the first quarter of next year for her.
Finally, she offered, "I'll dry your hair tonight."
He leaned against her legs and listened to the hair dryer brushing his ears. The warm wind blew at his face, and her gentle fingers ran through his hair. At that moment, he thought it was cold to sleep alone.
He stretched out his arms and wrapped her waist, burying his face in her arms and whispering, "I won't force you from now on."
He wouldn't stress his dominance in the family.
He would forget about it.
Natalie wouldn't succumb to tough approaches, but her heart softened when Kendrick gave in and showed his compliance.
He used to impress her with his ruthlessness.
He seemed proud and aloof.
But now he lay in her arms and showed her his feelings and emotions.
Perhaps this was marriage.
They showed their imperfect sides to each other and tried to accept and tolerate them.
After all, one shouldn't only see the good side of his lover when falling in love.
Natalie asked, "When will the doctor come?"
In fact, she felt weak inside, wondering what problems the doctor would discover about her.
Kendrick propped on his arms and sat up, glancing at her and noticing the worry and fear in her eyes.
Everyone would feel frightened when facing something unknown such as a physical checkup, so they usually chose to escape.
