Natalie believed he could protect her.His presence would make her feel safe and secure

Kent was a bit miffed by the way Natalie was looking at him.How could she act so differently in just a blink of an eve? She was still thanking him in earnest just a few moments ago.

“Is there anything more important than your own safety? If you really want to spend some time with me, then let’s go get a room.We can talk all night.”

He grabbed her by the wrist, fully intending to drag her away with him.

“I have nothing to talk to you.! have to stay here; it’s important.Don’t worry about me.” Natalie’s reply was blunt and firm, and her eyes flashed with determination.

“I want to deal with the person who orchestrated this trap.I am grateful for what you did just now, Mr.Perkins.But we should part ways here.”

“Are you sure you can handle it by yourself?” Kent asked, frowning.

Natalie was so small and frail; he doubted she could even go against a woman her own size.

“It’s none of your business anyway,” she retorted wryly, not appreciating his condescension.

Natalie had already made up her mind.

Even though she had clearly severed her ties with the Quinn family, Lauren and Cassie still persisted in making trouble for her again and again.She needed to settle this matter once and for all, and let them know that she was no pushover.

Kent rubbed his nose in frustration.He wasn’t a meddlesome person on principle, yet he had somehow broken his own rule several times in less than an hour.

“How can you expect me to just leave you alone? We have no way of knowing what might happen if you pursue this.” Natalie narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Stop messing with me.Don’t you have the exact same intentions towards me?” Kent let out a helpless sigh.
