Chapter 18 Kendrick Stroked Away Natalie's Tears
"There's no reason for an elder to apologize to a junior. Besides, I slapped her in the face because..."
Nancy suddenly stopped talking, and raised her voice after a pause, "Isn't it because I was worried
about my father?"
Kendrick also lost his patience to continue talking to Nancy. He just kept silent, and his fingers folded
habitually.
Natalie wanted to speak, but before she opened her mouth, Kendrick held her hand, indicating that she
did not have to say more.
Today, he would make Nancy lower her noble head.
In addition, Kendrick would make Nancy realize that no matter what happened before, now and later,
he had the last word in the Ramsey's mansion!
"I'm not going to apologize." Nancy was still stubborn, "There is no reason to do this. Kendrick, it's not
your turn to be the boss here. When father wakes up... "
A loud slap fell on Nancy's face.
It was her husband Chad who slapped her in the face.
After that, the man turned to bow deeply to Kendrick, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you two on behalf of
Nancy."
Kendrick did not speak.
Chad kept bowing and looked very humble.
"You're bowing the wrong way." Kendrick said indifferently, "The person who should be apologizing to is
over here."
Chad straightened up and bowed again in Natalie's direction, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Ramsey. I apologize to
you."
At this moment, Nancy felt numb with shock.
Nancy could not believe that her husband dared to slap her.
Looking at Kendrick again, Nancy found he gave her a wry look as if he was laughing at her.
As for Natalie, she also looked a little dazed. She did not seem to understand why Chad suddenly Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
slapped Nancy in the face.
The burning sense of shame spread from the bottom of Nancy's heart, making her head almost burst.
She blushed with embarrassment. She gritted her teeth so hard, and then she rushed out with hatred.
Seeing Nancy leaving, Chad hurriedly said to Kendrick, "Nancy is very hot-tempered, I'll go and have a
look."
Kendrick said nothing but turned to take an ice pack to apply to Natalie's face.
Chad stood there, not daring to go out without Kendrick's consent. His forehead exuded fine beads of
sweat, let alone his back was already soaked in sweat.
Natalie gently tugged at Kendrick's sleeve.
If it went on, Natalie was afraid it was hard to wind this matter up.
They were in the Ramsey's mansion, not in the Quinn's mansion. Natalie had expressed her loyalty to
Seth just now, saying that she would consider the matter from the standpoint of the Ramsey's mansion.
She did not want to make a big fuss at this moment.
Enough is enough, which was another truth Natalie knew well.
Kendrick seemed to notice Chad at this time and then he casually hummed lightly in agreement.
After getting Kendrick's consent, Chad ran away immediately as if he were a pardoned man.
Natalie recovered from the shock. She covered her face and said, "I didn't expect Chad to do this."
Kendrick looked calm, "Chad is in my employ, so he understands who he depends on for his life."
Chad was not Nancy, who did not care about making money or did not understand the situation.
It was an opportunity given by Kendrick.
If Chad offended his wife, he could still have a way to live, and he would not die of starvation if he got
divorced.
However, if Chad offended Kendrick, he would come to the end of a blind alley.
Therefore, that slap was unexpected and reasonable.
Kendrick had vaguely guessed it, or even, this was the result he would like to see.
A slap in the face from Nancy's husband was more humiliating, which would make her angrier than
anyone else's.
Nancy was not going to swallow it in less than ten days or half a month.
Natalie looked at Kendrick with complicated emotions.
Kendrick was very good at cultivating popularity, but he was not as easy to get along with as he
appeared on the surface.
Natalie suddenly felt a little stressed.
"It seems that the swelling has gone down a bit." Kendrick's long, fingers brushed over Natalie's
cheeks, bringing her a cool touch, "I'll ask someone to fetch some ointment later."
"Sure." Natalie gave Kendrick an approving nod.
Natalie's nerves had settled a bit, but her eyes were still misty.
Kendrick raised to wipe away the tears from the corners of Natalie's eyes.
"Don't cry," Kendrick coaxed softly, "I can assure you that you'll get this slap back at Nancy with your
own hands one day."
Even Kendrick himself did not realize that he had had more mood swings today than he had when he
was in the Quinn's mansion.
Kendrick remained uncompromising in the face of his direct relatives.
Natalie said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to see Nancy again. If she dares to mess around again, I'll
make her lose face." She paused and said, "Nancy got slapped by her husband and was humiliated
today. Will it be a disadvantage for you?"
"Let's see what she got," Kendrick said.
Natalie soon realized that Kendrick was boss, so of course he had nothing to fear. She just worried too
much.
"Let's go to see Grandpa."
"Alright!"
"Luckily, I took a first aid course at college, otherwise I'm afraid it will be very dangerous this time."
"We are all grateful to you," Kendrick said sincerely.
"Never mind. Saving lives is what doctors should do... " Natalie said habitually, but then she hastily
changed her words because she felt something was wrong, "Actually, I was also very nervous at that
time. Fortunately, Grandpa was fine."
Fortunately, Kendrick did not ask any more questions.
Seth had come to his senses and was in no serious condition. He had taken medicine and rested at
this time, so it was inconvenient for Natalie to visit him.
The emergency doctor came over to ask Natalie for some information about Seth.
Natalie answered fluently.
The doctor immediately praised Natalie and said that thanks to her professional first aid technique and
quick response, Seth was saved from death.
Natalie wished the doctor would stop praising her because her husband would be suspicious about it.
--
Seth was absent from the dinner, and so was Nancy.
They heard that Nancy had driven back as fast as she could.
So there were only Brett's family, Kendrick, and Natalie at the table.
The atmosphere at the table was eerily quiet. No one spoke, even Maggie, who was always talkative,
was quiet, too.
The incident just now made people have countless complicated thoughts, even though they pretended
nothing happened on the surface.
Natalie had already applied ointment, but her hand was still too sore to hold a fork.
The main course was steak. When it was served, Natalie could not even cut it.
Seeing Natalie's aggrieved appearance, Kendrick cut up his steak and handed it to her, saying, "Eat
this." He glanced at her hand and asked, "Can you move your hand?"
His voice interrupted the silence at the dining table.
Natalie suddenly felt people's eyes fall on her face at the same time.
Maggie did not believe that Nat would ask Ken to help her to eat!
Brett thought Ken would probably not make trouble for him again because he had apologized to Nat!
Natalie shook her left hand and said, "This hand is fine. I can eat with it."
There were many people here, so Natalie was shy to let Kendrick help her to eat.
If it was just Natalie and Kendrick eating here, she would turn the charm on him and ask him to do this.
But there were so many people.
Just forget it.
--
After dinner, Grace said that the room had been cleaned up, and the clothes for Mr. Ramsey and Mrs.
Ramsey had been prepared.
Kendrick nodded and explained to Natalie, "We have to stay for one night in case grandpa has an
emergency."
"Sure," Natalie said in agreement, "I'll run a bath for you."
"Wait a minute, I have something to do now."
Natalie thought Kendrick was going to be busy with the company affairs, but just as she nodded, she
heard him say, "Didn't you want to see the koi fish?"
Natalie had forgotten it herself, but Kendrick still remembered it.
"Ask the kitchen staff to get you some fish food," Kendrick instructed, "and spray some mosquito
spray."
When Kendrick and Natalie left the hall for the rockery, Maggie sat on the sofa and said to Brett, "Ken
is scarier than you when he gets angry. I heard that he forced Nancy to apologize, but she refused, and
then Chad slapped her in the face to make amends to Nat. It was unprecedented for Chad to do this."
