Chapter 193 His Head Was Held By Her
Natalie, who would blush automatically when lying, hung up the phone and asked hesitantly, "You just ignore your grandpa when he has something to talk to you?"
Kendrick looked indifferent, as if he were a worker who decided to resign, "Look at the time now. How can he hold a meeting at this moment? He is just spoiled because of our reverence!"
She was speechless, "..."
She moved the corners of her lips, but for a while, she just couldn't find the right words to object.
Was it something that he would say?
He seems to slack off at work lately.
He put away his book and opened Twitter, finding that the enthusiasm for discussing Mrs. Ramsey was almost gone.
She was not some kind of star.
The Ramsey family was rather conscious of its reputation and just suppressed the heat with an iron fist. All the comments and posts were deleted.
Natalie wanted to explain, but Kendrick told her directly, "I don't need to know you from others' opinions."
He said so in a confident and even conceited manner, dispelling her anxiety completely.
Now the heat on the internet was all about the Ramsey Finance crisis.
Financial bloggers were analyzing who was behind the short selling, but no one had a clear answer.
Someone even suspected that it might be KC, the most mysterious baron in the financial circle.
They listed some clues and found that it might be him indeed.
However, KC was said to be in company with his wife and had not been involved in financial affairs for a long time.
Natalie was still a little worried and asked Kendrick, "What should we do if Grandpa is angry?"
"God knows!" He answered with such a casual tone, as if he had just let himself go to seed.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. He wouldn't want to leave the group, would he?
Recently, he was actually on the cusp of the crisis. Although he never talked about it, she knew that he was in a difficult situation.
He gave her a favor, but he got the favor from no one.
Besides, he couldn't manipulate the whole thing behind the scenes this time, could he?
"Why do you look at me like that?" He asked while he was lying on her lap and pinching her face.
"If you have made a plan, well, no matter what it is, I will support you." She pursed her lips.
She felt it was all right to endure hardship with him.
...
Seth couldn't help but compromise.
He swallowed his pride and came to visit Kendrick in person to ask for peace.
Kendrick looked respectfully and mildly, "Grandpa, please take a seat!"
"You know there is something happening in the financial business, don't you?"
"No, I don't."
Then couldn't you have some responsibilities? You knew nothing about it and you didn't even think about how to solve it?
Seth thought so in his heart. But he just asked his grandson, "Do you have any good solutions?"
"No!" Kendrick refused to answer simply.
"Are you angry with me?" asked Seth angrily.
"I am not."
Obviously he was!
Seth calmed down and said, "Well, I didn't consider your feelings that day when I said those words."
What he had said that day was actually driving a wedge between Kendrick and Natalie. He mentioned that Natalie would run away when she was not under Kendrick's control, which was unpleasant and harsh to the ear. He added that Natalie just stamped on Kendrick's head and his grandson had showed him no respect at all.
After all, it was Seth, Kendrick's grandpa.
No one else would dare to say so in front of Kendrick.
Kendrick remained silent.
"Don't be like that." Seth said in a deep voice. He relented after a while and said, "Tell me about your conditions."
There was still no good solution to that issue.
The financial business was rather extensive with so many parties involved and it was likely to endanger all the business of the group.
Seth was getting old and his character had been the same since he was young. Kendrick had no interest in telling his grandpa what to do, but he felt that it is still necessary to remind the old man.
"Don't speak ill of her in front of anyone again, nor force her to do anything."
It was his first condition.
He took it to heart.
"Well, you can give advice to me at work, but don't meddle in my personal relationships!"
Seth was speechless, "..."
Fine.
He didn't want to meddle in his affairs anyway.
"In all conscience, have I interfered before?" If it weren't for such a big mess this time, he would never stick his nose in.
Kendrick just turned a blind eye to his grandpa's grievances. If he didn't take a hard line, Seth would really take a mile and wouldn't take it seriously.
The following conditions were all related to Natalie, having nothing to do with the Ramsey Group.
Seth refused.
But Kendrick had already asked his grandpa to reconsider a suitable successor.
He just wanted to become Natalie's shelter. If she suffered because of him, certainly he would need to make new choices.
Kendrick recalled what had happened. Immediately, Seth was down in the dumps. His face turned gray and he looked desolate, refusing to say yes.
Kendrick took the hair dryer and asked, "Do I have your word?"
What?
Natalie remembered and said, "Oh, to keep you? Yes, you do."
She thought for a moment and asked, "Then how much should I give you on a monthly basis?" She frowned after calculating for a bit, "Well, you spend a lot of money." And then she whispered, "You need to lower your living standards." Well, just don't keep those expensive orchids. How about drinking regular water?"
Kendrick smiled and pinched her face, "You stingy girl!"
And then he restrained his look and held her habitually. He got close to her and whispered in her ear to say sorry.
In the morning, she was still thinking about her purpose in coming here. But she was rather certain about it now. She wanted to spend a whole life with him. Flowers? Wind and rain? Whether it was joy or sorrow on the journey, she would just experience everything with him.
"I'm not someone who cannot withstand setbacks." She comforted him, "Besides, life is not always going along nicely and we will face various difficulties and obstacles. We just have to face them instead of avoiding them. Actually, I thought about withdrawing a little at one moment, but you just chose me so firmly. At that time, I was not afraid of anything really. Therefore, there is no need for you to apologize to me. That is also my choice!"
She chose to stand firmly with him.
And she never changed that throughout.
She pointed to her heart and said, "It's beating very fast now and it tells me that I just make the right choice."
"Let me listen to it!" He got close to her chest seriously and began to listen to her heartbeat.
The button of her pajama was just undone.
He said that he could hear more clearly in that circumstance.
The second button was also unbuckled and he kissed her chest where her heart was.
In a panic, she remembered that she had to go to the hospital again tomorrow. She grabbed his hair and stopped him from doing something hot on her.
He looked up and said, "There is no mark."
Thanks to Nolan, now he had to control his kiss!
He looked aggrieved, poor and somewhat cautious, making her feel something strange. All right, just gave him some comfort.
She kissed his lips and said gently, "Let me kiss you then!"
She caressed his chest and abdominal muscles with her soft little hands and moved her hands all the way down.
His eyes just couldn't help but become deep, as black as ink.
!
His head was held by her.
