Chapter 531
On his way back to his room, Kenneth ran into Natasha. When the woman took note of his sullen look,
she expressed her concern. “What's wrong?”
“Nothing,” Kenneth replied before walking away in a huff. His reaction was no different from an overt
display of anger.
Natasha raised a curious brow. Kenneth has been clinging to me for the past few days, so what's with
this sudden change in mood?
Puzzled, she went after him. “Are you angry?”
“No,” he replied flatly.
Natasha pondered momentarily before nodding. “Fine.” Pretending to believe him, she turned to leave
without questioning him further.
However, Kenneth furrowed his brows at her response and reached out abruptly to grab her.
Turning around to be greeted by the scowl on his face, Natasha asked with a frown, “What's wrong? Is
there something else?”
Kenneth was filled with exasperation just by looking at her.
Suddenly, he pulled her back and pinned her against the wall.
As an innocent look glistened in her eyes, she stared at him. “What's bugging you, Mr. Hamilton?”
“Is it so difficult to pacify me when you obviously know that I'm angry?” he questioned in a deep voice
that was inexplicably enchanting.
“In that case, shouldn't you tell me what happened in the first place?” she remarked in a teasing tone
while blinking at him.
Reciprocating her gaze, he felt his heart pounding furiously as the urge to devour her and make her his
swelled within him. That way, no one else would be able to covet her anymore.
With a darkening gaze, Kenneth leaned in, his muscular body pressed against her tender figure. The

Amidst her bewilderment, he lowered his head for a passionate kiss.
When the surprised Natasha attempted to push him away, she felt him grabbing her hands and pinning
them above her head.
“Mmm...” she moaned.
Holding onto her slender waist, he lifted her up to bring her body closer to him. As he allowed himself to
be intoxicated by the sweetness of her lips, the frustration from earlier gradually dissipated.
It wasn't until a long while later that he finally released her.
With his forehead resting against hers, he stared at her body with turbulent emotions raging in his eyes.
As for Natasha, she clung to his chest, gasping desperately for air.
“Nat, can I?” he asked.
“I...” Natasha gave him a hesitant look. “Now isn't appropriate...”
Without another word, she continued fixing her gaze on him.
It took Kenneth a second before it dawned upon him what she meant. Subsequently, a sense of
resignation flashed across his lust-filled eyes.
“I'm sorry,” Natasha apologized.
Left without a choice, he held her tightly in his arms. With his chin resting on the top of her head, he
nuzzled her gently as if he couldn't wait to absorb her into his own body.
All she did was nestle in his embrace.
A while later, he finally spoke. “Nat, don't you have anything to say to me?”
She shook her head.
No.
He frowned at her. “Don't you want to know why I was angry?”
At the mention of the topic, Natasha raised her gaze and rested her chin against his chest. After
pondering momentarily, she nodded. “I do.”
“In that case, why didn't you ask?” Kenneth inquired with a strange glint in his eyes.
“What's bothering you then?”
He simply stared at her. If it weren't for the fact that he knew her temperament well, her response
would have driven him up the wall.
Taking a deep breath, he asserted, “Nat, you must be doing this on purpose!”
“What do you mean?” she countered.
He lowered his gaze. “You must be deliberately tormenting me!”
The woman's eyes narrowed. “What gave you that idea?”
Staring at her with his black obsidian eyes, he suddenly asked a candid question, “Nat, is he the
reason you're still not reconciling with me?”
Confusion reigned in Natasha's mind.
He? Who's he?
With confusion written all over her face, she clarified, “And who is this 'he' you're talking about?”
“Anonymous.”
In that instant, everything became clear to Natasha.
“Nat, do you have feelings for him?”
Um, of course I do! In fact, he's really important to me.
Nonetheless, Natasha kept those words to herself, for they would inadvertently reveal Anthony's
identity.
Unfortunately, her silence served as an implicit admission from Kenneth's perspective.
A wry smile broke out on his face. “I understand.”
Faced with his disappointment, she tried to comfort him by saying, “Kenneth, actually, the matter is a lot
more complicated than you think.”
The next second, he gazed at her, his eyes filled with resolve. “Even if you do, it's fine because it
happened before I came into the picture. Also, I have no intention of giving up on you.”

“I was the one who lost you first. Therefore, I should bear the consequences,” Kenneth explained.
As she looked at him, a cheeky idea popped into her head. “What if I have had a serious relationship
with another man? For example, what if I'm raising someone else's children right now?”
Kenneth's eyes seethed with jealousy at the mention of the topic.
Despite being cognizant of the murderous look in his eyes, she remained steadfastly silent.
A brief moment later, Kenneth's eyes darkened as he lowered his voice. “If that is the case, I'll still
accept it.”
“What do you mean by accepting it?”
Kenneth reached out to lift her chin with his fingers. “It means that I won't give up on you even under
those circumstances.”
“You really don't mind?” Natasha raised her brows.
“Compared to that, I'm more concerned whether you're mine now,” Kenneth answered.
As her lips curled into a smile, she simply lay in his arms in silence, a symbolic indication of her
dependence on him.
Nevertheless, the gentle gesture was enough for Kenneth to feel as if his soul was made whole.
“Kenneth...” Natasha finally spoke languidly.
“Yes?”
“My relationship with Anonymous... isn't what you think,” she explained abruptly.
As the man tenderly stroked her jet-black hair, she continued, “Similarly, his feelings for me aren't what
you pictured too.”
“But what other bond can you share that would make you sacrifice everything for him?” Kenneth asked.
“Perhaps it's a familial bond?”
He let out a sneer. “A familial bond? How is that possible? How can there be such a relationship
between a man and a woman?”
She stared at him in silence.
Just when he wanted to probe further, he suddenly narrowed his glistening eyes.
