Chapter 95 I Love You
Natalie almost choked on herself.
Natalie thought, "Really?"
She had no relevant memories in her mind.
"Yes." Natalie first admitted it and then calmly explained, "But I'm gradually overcoming my fear. I can't give up chestnuts because of choking once."
Natalie was really good at mouthing off.
Besides, Natalie also thought on her feet.
Kendrick stared at Natalie silently.
The file beside Kendrick's hand was the information about Natalie that the Quinn family gave.
Kendrick hadn't read it carefully before.
Today Kendrick opened it and read it.
Then he found a long list of matters needing attention above.
Natalie disliked and wouldn't eat many kinds of food, including chestnuts.
However, cilantro was not on the list.
"What happened?" Natalie asked, "Did Reuben say bad things about me again?"
Natalie thought, "Reuben said bad things in front of me last time, and does he also want to say them to Kendrick behind my back?"
"No." Kendrick denied, "He came to me for the project today. He just said something about you incidentally."
Kendrick didn't hide it.
He told Natalie what Reuben had said.
"He has never cared about me or understood me." Natalie said calmly, "He suddenly cared about me just because I have some value. Don't pay attention to him and don't be soft on him."
After speaking, Natalie glanced at Kendrick and said in an injured tone, "When he showed partiality to his other daughters, you were also there and saw it in the attic of the Quinn's mansion last time. He ignored me and allowed his other daughters to bully me."
Kendrick certainly remembered it.
Suddenly, Kendrick had a frosty look.
Natalie continued, "I have nothing to do with him. If you are curious about my past, I will tell you personally. Don't learn it from other people, because the information is biased."
It was normal that people in love couldn't help wondering about each other's past.
Natalie knew about Kendrick's past.
Kendrick's previous life was gloomy, so he was restrained.
Kendrick was special to Natalie.
"Okay." Kendrick agreed and asked, "Did you often get bullied in the Quinn family before?"
Natalie walked over, hugged Kendrick's neck from behind, and put her face on his face.
This posture would increase a sense of trust and dependence on each other.
"Yes." Natalie whispered, "I got bullied because I was too young and no one helped me, but..." Natalie quickly changed her tone and said, "No one dares to bully me now because you will protect me."
That was emotional intelligence.
Even if Kendrick didn't understand romance, facing Natalie's gentle words, he would first let go of his doubts and comfort Natalie, "I will deal with the Quinn family."
Reuben never thought that his flattery would finally become the last straw of the Quinn family.
Natalie didn't move and continued, "I will protect myself. Don't you think I have changed a lot recently?"
Natalie stole a march on Kendrick.
Natalie thought, "Instead of being questioned, she'd better ask Kendrick in return."
Kendrick thought Natalie had indeed changed a lot.
For example, Natalie now dared to ask Kendrick in return, which made Kendrick feel they were nip and tuck.
Kendrick didn't have such a feeling even in business.
"Yes." Kendrick replied, "You are very different from before, or I didn't know you enough before."
The two hardly communicated even if they were married for a year.
They had different thoughts and different hobbies.
Besides, Kendrick was indifferent and cautious.
He never opened his mind to others easily.
If Natalie hadn't been proactive enough, they wouldn't have a story at all.
"Where?" Natalie asked tentatively.
...
Dinner was delayed until 7 p.m.
Natalie said, "The anatomic slices have been sent today. The results will come out tomorrow, and I'll keep an eye on it."
In fact, Natalie not only sent slices but also did experiments today.
The next week was a data observation period.
Owen would do it next week.
Kendrick was peeling shrimp for Natalie.
That was right.
Kendrick, who was used to being taken care of, was peeling the shrimp in person.
He probably didn't get back his composure because of Natalie's sweet words.
After hearing Natalie complain that the shrimp was so difficult to peel, Kendrick directly peeled the shrimp for her without speaking.
Although it was inappropriate for such pretty hands to peel shrimp, women couldn't always obey men's words.
Women should ask men to take the initiative to do something so that they would feel that they were needed.
Otherwise, unilateral efforts would make the couple too tired.
Ashlynn walked over with the soup. She had sharp eyes and saw many red marks on Kendrick's neck at a glance. Kendrick's neckline of the white shirt was slightly open, so the marks were more obvious.
Ashlynn watched Kendrick peeling shrimp and asked worriedly, "Mr. Ramsey, are you allergic?"
Natalie looked up at Ashlynn.
Ashlynn touched her neck and motioned to Natalie. Ashlynn continued, "There are a lot of red marks."
Natalie looked at Kendrick's neck and saw obvious marks.
They were obviously hickeys!
It was Natalie who made them.
Natalie couldn't help laughing.
As soon as the laughter came, Kendrick looked up at Natalie with a warning in his deep eyes.
