My Disabled CEO Stood up And Kissed Me (Natalie) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Is This Indirect Kissing? 

Kendrick turned his face and stared at Natalie. 

Under the dark night, Kendrick could only see the contours of Natalie’s small and delicate face. Her eyes were shimmering with tears. 

To defend him? 

That was why she fought? 

These actions were all something that Natalie would never do before. However, she was doing them now. 

Kendrick was also surprised by Natalie's words in the Quinn mansion’s loft to break off her relationship with the family. 

Kendrick thought, "Perhaps, I never really knew her before?" 

"Or... Her previous weak and stupid appearance was all an act?" Kendrick was in his thoughts. 

Natalie blinked her eyes and looked at Kendrick sincerely. 

What she spoke was all from her heart. She wasn't deceiving him. 

"No, I should thank you for defending me." 

Even though Kendrick was saying words of thanks, his expression remained cold. 

Natalie chuckled, "I should also thank you for going back to stand up for me. Otherwise, I’d definitely be bullied by them." 

After knowing Natalie was making a big fuss at Quinn's mansion, Kendrick pushed off an upcoming international conference and turned his way back to help her. 

Natalie’s resistance had surprised Kendrick. 

"Since you’ve married me, I'll definitely fulfill my responsibility." 

Responsibility...... 

Was it just out of responsibility? 

"You broke off your relations with the Quinn family. Won't you regret it?" After a long silence, Kendrick asked. 

"No," Natalie said firmly, "I've thought for a day, no, many days. Today happens to be a good opportunity. I don’t want to be controlled by them anymore. I want to be myself." 

Kendrick pursed his lips and was in his thoughts. 

"Oh, I remembered something. Dear, can I ask you a question?" 

"Yes." 

"How did you know what happened to me in the Quinn family in such detail and managed to come timely?" Natalie paused and continued, "You have someone in the Quinn family, right?" 

Natalie believed that Kendrick must've arranged a spy in the Quinn family. 

In the original book, there was a slight description saying that the Quinn family was punished later by Kendrick and went bankrupt overnight. 

As soon as Natalie finished her words, Kendrick’s gaze turned piercing. 

The atmosphere instantly turned tense. 

"You can trust me completely," Natalie looked at him with sincere eyes, "No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side and face everything with you. I'll never betray you. You’ve also said this before, I’m yours." 

Kendrick returned calm and said lightly, "Knowing too much would do you no good." 

Kendrick had a cautious personality. He couldn’t yet open up fully to Natalie at this moment. 

Natalie didn't speak. Later, she asked, "I'm a little tired. Can I sleep on your shoulder for a while?" 

"..." 

Without waiting for Kendrick’s reaction, Natalie rested her head on his shoulder. 

Kendrick looked sideways slightly. In the night, Natalie’s curled eyelashes cast a shadow on her face. Her breathing was shallow as if she was really sleeping. 

A wisp of bangs landed on the tip of Natalie's nose. 

Kendrick raised his hand and gently tucked the bangs behind her ears. 

Kendrick stared at Natalie's fair face and frowned slightly. 

What kinds of things had happened? 

For someone to suddenly turned smart. 

... 

At night, Natalie was exhausted after taking a bath. 

She laid down on the bed and fell asleep without even blowing her hair dry. 

It was two o’clock in the morning when she woke up. Her stomach was growling. 

She was too focused on fighting during her time in the Quinn's mansion and didn’t have the chance to eat. 

Natalie handed the cutleries to Kendrick and said, "Be careful with the heat!" 

As Natalie saw Kendrick take a bite of the noodles, she hurriedly asked, "How is it? It's delicious, right?" 

Actually, one couldn't do much to cook instant noodles. 

However, Kendrick still nodded. 

"I knew it. My noodle cooking skills are superb," Natalie praised herself and sucked a mouthful of noodles but accidentally burned herself. She stuck out her tongue and fanned her tongue with her hands, "Ouch! Ouch!" 

Then, Natalie saw the iced bottled water on the table. She grabbed the bottle and poured the water into her mouth. After drinking half of the bottle, she realized something wasn't quite right. She turned to look at Kendrick with her eyes widen, "I accidentally drank your water." 

"It's alright," Kendrick said calmly, "It's alright if you don't mind." 

"I don't," Natalie smiled sweetly, "You're my husband. How would I mind it?" 

Kendrick couldn't answer her. 

Natalie put down the water and thought that this was what Kendrick had just drunk. Then, was this... indirect kissing? 

Natalie was a little shy. 

She told herself to stop thinking about it and eat noodles. 

Not only did Natalie finish the noodles, but she also drank all of the soup. If Kendrick wasn't here, she could caress her stomach and burp. 

"Are you done? I'll take you upstairs first. I'll come down and clean up later," Natalie stood up and said. 

"Leave them here to Ashlynn and the others." 

"Oh, right," Natalie thought. She was now Mrs. Ramsey, a noble lady who was served by the others. 

She wasn't the Natalie who was so busy in the laboratory and the operating room that could only afford to eat instant noodles to feed herself. 

Actually, Natalie really hated to wash the dishes. If it weren't for the pressure of life, who would want to wash dishes after eating? 

The villa had four floors in total plus the basement. There was an indoor elevator. Natalie pushed Kendrick's wheelchair into the elevator and pressed the second floor. 

Kendrick's bedroom was on the side. 

Natalie pushed open the door to send him in. She couldn't help but be amazed when she entered Kendrick's room. She thought that this was indeed a single man's room. The colors were all black, white, or gray. The decorations were simple but exquisite. It was a place with low-key luxury. 

It was embarrassing for Natalie to admit, but she was single for many years. It was the first time she had entered a man's room. 

"I'll help you to bed?" Natalie turned her face and asked Kendrick.
