Chapter 841 Public Display of Affection
After hearing Dave's sigh, Kenneth's eyes slightly narrowed. “More than a decade... Why do I feel like you're
implying that I'm old?”
Upon hearing this, Dave looked at him and asked, “How old are you? Don't you have any idea?”
Kenneth's gaze unconsciously shifted toward Natasha, and then he looked at Dave and said seriously, “What are
you talking about? I'm still young!”
Dave couldn't possibly not know what the look in his eyes meant.
Upon hearing the sound, Natasha also lowered her gaze with a gentle smile.
His intentions were just too obvious.
Dave looked at him and said softly, “Have some shame, will you?”
However, Kenneth didn't care at all and looked at him. “Dave, with your emotional intelligence, it's no wonder you
haven't had any friends all these years!”
“I've got enough trouble with just one friend like you!”
“True. After all, only I can put up with you,” Kenneth said, then turned his head to look at Natasha. “Nat, that's just
how it is. Don't listen to his nonsense.”
At that moment, Natasha looked at him with a smile. “Kenneth, I'm only two years younger than you.”
Kenneth was slightly stunned.
Only then did they recall the memories of growing up together since childhood.
Natasha knew his age and everything about him like the back of her hand.
After a brief pause, Kenneth spoke up. “If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought you were just twenty years
old!”
Even though Natasha knew that Kenneth was joking, she couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.
Recently, whenever she was with Kenneth, her smile never faded.
However, Dave, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. “Kenneth, enough already!”
Upon hearing that, Kenneth looked at him and asked, “What's the matter? Am I wrong? Or do you have a different
opinion?”
Um. Isn't this just intentionally setting someone up for failure?

Dave took a deep breath and said, “I just feel that when those words come out of your mouth, they sound
particularly hypocritical!”
Kenneth looked at Natasha again, stirring up trouble right in front of her. “Nat, what he's saying is that you don't
look like it, and I'm telling lies!”
Dave said, “Kenneth, just be a good person.”
“Nat, see? That man deserves to be single,” Kenneth continued.
At that moment, Natasha smiled and said, “As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You see me
with a filter, unlike Dave!”
With her casual remark, she dissolved the “hatred” in the air.
Dave listened, his gaze faintly shifting away from Natasha's body.
He laughed and didn't say much more.
However, Kenneth looked straight at her and said, “It's not a filter, it's real. In my eyes, you truly are the best in the
world!”
Natasha looked at him, smiling.
In the end, Kenneth couldn't help himself and leaned in, planting a kiss on Natasha's lips.
Dave chuckled and said, “That's enough. If you keep showing off your affection like this, we won't be able to drink
anymore!”
Kenneth then returned to his seat and whispered, “We're not showing off our affection, we're clearly making a
public display of affection!”
“I'm done drinking!” With that, Dave stood up and left.
Upon seeing the situation, Natasha spoke up directly. “All right, all right, stop making a fuss!”
Kenneth sat there, looking at him with a teasing smile. “Don't stop him. Let him go. Let's see if he can bear to leave
this wine!”
Dave returned to his seat and looked at him. “If I really leave, it would be just as you wanted. Don't even think
about it!”
As they spoke, they began to laugh.
At that moment, Natasha also drank the wine in her glass and looked at them. “All right, I need to go upstairs and
take a bath. You guys continue.”
Kenneth knew that she was intentionally leaving room for them, so he didn't stop her. He nodded and said, “Okay.”
Natasha looked at Dave and said, “Enjoy your drinks.”
Dave nodded.
Setting down her glass, Natasha then stood up and headed upstairs.
Once the person's figure disappeared, Dave picked up the wine and poured another glass, saying softly, “Enough
already, she's gone to her room. No need to keep watching.”
Kenneth finally looked away and turned his gaze to Dave. “You're just jealous.”
“I am jealous,” Dave suddenly said.
Kenneth looked at him, his figure pausing slightly.
He knew that there was another layer of meaning to this statement.
Dave looked at him and then said with ease, “Just wait until I find a girlfriend, and see how I'll show off to you.”
After he said that, Kenneth laughed. “Sure, I'll be waiting.”
As he spoke, Kenneth raised his glass, and Dave looked at him. The two clinked their glasses together.
After half a glass, Dave looked at Kenneth and said, “Kenneth, there must be at least one happy buddy among us.
So, you must be happy.”
Kenneth looked at him. “I accept your blessings. I will be happy, and so should you.” With that, Kenneth raised his
glass once more.
Dave chuckled lightly and raised his glass to clink with his companion's. However, he didn't rush to drink, but
pondered for a moment before saying, “As for me, it's probably difficult in this lifetime.”
“Life is still long, so how can we draw conclusions already?” Kenneth asked.
Dave thought carefully and looked at him, saying, “Because I probably won't meet someone who is willing to give
their all to love like you do!”
Kenneth thought for a moment and nodded. “That's true. Someone like Nat is indeed one of a kind.”
Dave squinted his eyes and looked at Kenneth upon hearing his words. “Shouldn't you be comforting me right
now?”
Kenneth looked at him and asked, “Do you need it?”
“Of course!”
“Actually, it's quite nice to be like you, who has been in multiple relationships but never been in love. After all, it's
truly enviable to have the joy of having several partners!”

“I didn't!”
“Whether you did or not, don't you know it in your heart?”
“That's all in the past now.”
“Fine, fine, whatever you say,” Kenneth said with a somewhat perfunctory tone.
Dave looked at him. “Kenneth, you did that on purpose, didn't you?”
“Mmm-hmm!” Kenneth took another gulp of his drink.
Seeing his reaction, Dave immediately interjected. “At this rate, you'll finish the bottle of wine in just two gulps!”
After saying that, he snatched the bottle away.
Noticing the situation, Kenneth said, “What should we do then? Should we keep it and drink it slowly?”
Dave looked at the bottle of wine and thought for a moment before saying to him, “You already have happiness, so
let me enjoy this bottle of wine by myself.”
“All this talking and explanations, is it just an excuse for you to hog it all for yourself?” Kenneth asked.
“Couldn't you have said that more nicely? Shouldn't you be comforting your injured buddy right now?” Dave said.
“Injured? Where are you injured?” Kenneth asked, then stood up, trying to take advantage of Dave's distraction to
snatch the bottle of wine away. However, Dave deftly dodged out of the way.
“What, do we still need to fight for it?”
As he realized what was happening, Kenneth immediately took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves halfway,
revealing his slender and strong arms. “From the looks of it, you still want to practice, huh?”
“No need for that, because I can subdue you with just one move,” Dave said.
When Kenneth heard Dave's remark, he chuckled lightly. “Although I'm no longer in the business, I haven't been
idle. Don't believe me? Want to give it a try?”
“Using force is so childish,” said Dave.
“What are you doing then?”
“Just one sentence will do.”
Kenneth looked at him and said, “Tell me.”
“In a moment, I'll tell Natasha that you really envy me for having the joy of having several partners. What do you
think her reaction will be?”
