Chapter 248 Remaining Silent
“To what degree are you trying to mesmerize me?” Kenneth murmured while surveying her with his scorching gaze.
Natasha looked toward Anthony and Benjamin at that moment and found them trying to hide their smiles. When they caught Natasha's eye, they gave fake coughs before getting into the car.
Only then did she turn to smile at Kenneth. “You have demonstrated what it truly means to be shallow, Kenneth.”
Kenneth did not deny her statement. “Everybody has an appreciation for beauty. What's wrong with that?”
“Nothing. I finally see how depraved you were before!”
With a sudden movement, Kenneth pulled Natasha into his embrace and wrapped his arms around her waist. “I'll tell you one more time: I was merely dissatisfied with having my marriage arranged for me. I'm not depraved!”
He gently brushed a lock of hair by her ear as he spoke. “Besides, this face has not changed much from before.”
Natasha was about to say something, but her heart skipped a beat when his hand brushed past her ear.
“We're out in public, Kenneth,” Natasha muttered. “Are you intending on giving everybody a show?”
Kenneth chuckled at her blushing face. “Hmm? Are you embarrassed?”
“They're looking from the car!” Natasha said sharply.
“Let them look. We're not doing anything wrong.” Kenneth was not going to willingly relinquish the beautiful woman in his arms.
Instead of speaking further, Natasha gave him a look that immediately caused Kenneth's confidence to falter.
“Okay,” he said dejectedly as he let go of her slim waist and did his best to look dignified. He was about to help her into the car when he turned around and saw Anthony, Benjamin, and Fabian looking out from the windows. When they noticed his stare, they hurriedly retracted their gaze and pretended as if they had seen nothing.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and reverted to his usual cold self as he opened the door for Natasha.
Once she was seated, he entered the vehicle as well. Despite the amount of space in the limousine, he chose to sit beside Natasha without showing any sign of moving.
The atmosphere in the car became awkward.
It was more lively with Denise around.
As the boys still idolized Kenneth to some extent, they were unable to truly relax in his presence.
Benjamin smiled as he gazed around in search of a conversational topic. “Limousines just aren't the same as regular cars. They feel more comfortable.”
Kenneth raised his brow. “Do you like it?”
“Yes. It's pretty comfortable.”
“Then I'll leave this limo with you. When this is over, we'll have the driver send you to school in this.”
Benjamin was rendered speechless.
Anthony shot his brother a glance. “Sometimes, keeping silent is not the most awkward thing to do.”
Benjamin opened his mouth wordlessly.
Man, people are mean. I'd better shut up.
An indescribable weirdness hung in the air throughout the remainder of the journey.
Anthony turned to Benjamin as he suddenly recalled something when they almost arrived. “By the way, we forgot to invite Thalia earlier. Could you ask her where she is?”
Natasha looked up at the mention of Thalia. “You invited Thalia?”
Anthony and Benjamin nodded as one. “Yes.”
Natasha wore a curious expression.
“Is there a problem?” Anthony asked.
Natasha smiled mysteriously. “Nothing. It's just that things are probably going to get interesting later.”
The limousine soon arrived at the hotel. The passengers piled out of the vehicle and made their way into the building.
