"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.
"Next Monday." Kendrick held her hands and said, "I'll go with you."
"What if..." She suddenly asked in a low voice, "There is a small problem..."
Owen said she suffered from congenital arterial stenosis.
She had just known about this.
Therefore, she asked Owen to get the medicines for her, lest something unexpected would come up.
Kendrick was taken aback.
The two of them had never discussed this before.
She wanted to show him her best and lively side. She loved him carefully.
"Then take treatments," Kendrick gave his advice.
He was wealthy. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
He was able to get the best medical resources in the world for her.
Looking at her clean face, he gave a faint smile and reached out to touch her face. "What problem can
you have? You're young and healthy. Don't scare yourself."
He smiled and continued, "Are you afraid I will abandon you if you are sick?"
Natalie was startled.
Kendrick stretched his arms and held the skinny girl in his arms, patting her back. "You never detested
me. You made a painstaking effort to cure my legs and took good care of me. I was angry that you hid
your problem from me, but I was angrier with myself for not being reliable in your eyes. Don't stress
yourself. Don't be afraid to trouble me. You can even lose your temper with me as you like."
Kendrick was a man of few words, and it was rare of him to speak so much.
"I was angry with you yesterday."
Kendrick said softly, "It was my fault. I didn't consider your feelings."
He thought she was a child neglected by her family, so she didn't dare to lose her temper when she
was angry.
"I love the good side of you as well as the bad side. In this way, our relationship can last long, can't it?"
His voice was gentle and deep.
It was the answer he came up with after long deliberation.
Natalie was always self-conscious in front of him. She only smiled at him and never told him about her
vexation and depression.
Natalie nodded in his arms.
"If you feel upset, tell me right away."
"Okay."
Kendrick put her on his lap and kissed the tears on her lips, asking in a soft voice, "Will you sleep with
me tonight?"
Natalie lowered her head.
After a while, she raised her face and kissed his lips. "Okay."
Kendrick was relieved.
"In fact..." Natalie ran her fingers through her hair, ready to tell him something about herself.
Suddenly, Kendrick's phone rang.
He picked up and said with a frown, "It's late. We are sleeping."
The person at the other end of the line said something.
Kendrick said impatiently, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Natalie heard the voice and guessed someone called Kendrick from Ramsey's mansion.
Kendrick hung up the phone.
He didn't want to go there.
Natalie tugged at his sleeve and asked, "What's the matter with Grandfather?"
"Nothing. Leave him alone." Kendrick pulled her in his arms and said, "Go to sleep."
He was not going anywhere tomorrow. He would just stay at home with her.
After a while, Natalie's phone rang. It was Seth calling.
She hung up the phone and said, "Grandfather asked us to go back."
Something big must have happened.
Otherwise, Seth wouldn't have called them at nine o'clock at night.
The two of them packed up and went to Ramsey's mansion under the cover of night. Before they got to
the living room, Natalie heard Reuben's voice in the distance. The voice was clear in the night wind of
December. "Mr. Ramsey, I'm sorry for keeping it from you."
