Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 426: Chapter 230: Drawing Talismans to Ward Off Peach Blossom Romance

A company’s financial data is almost the soul of that company and also its top secret.

Kenneth Osborne isn’t worried about Blake Leaf, but since he’s so close to Spring Spencer, he needs to be cautious.

There are some things Blake doesn’t know, but Kenneth is well aware of.

He personally stirred things up, causing Spencer Group to spend an extra four billion to buy an empty shell company, which might be one of the reasons Spring Spencer resigned...

Kenneth hopes he’s overthinking it, but as the boss of a company, if he doesn’t think about it, someone else should.

After handling this matter, Kenneth noticed his computer was already open and started writing some code to calm himself down.

A little after five in the afternoon, Lawrence Winters returned.

She came back alone by taxi.

Once inside, she changed clothes and went to find Kenneth.

Kenneth was focused, programming on the computer screen.

Lawrence smiled sweetly, admired Kenneth’s handsome face, and then softly said, ”Hi.”

Kenneth suddenly looked up to see Lawrence, smiling charmingly as she leaned against the door. Her gaze seemed filled with affection in his eyes.

He felt his fingertips trembling slightly, going numb.

Seeing his stiff expression, Lawrence quickly walked over, concernedly asking, ”What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere? Is the wound itchy again? Do you need to change the bandage?”

As she spoke, she tried to feel Kenneth’s forehead.

Kenneth slightly turned his head, with one hand pulled Lawrence into his lap.

Lawrence was momentarily stunned, and Kenneth had already lowered his head to kiss her lips.

For the first time, he kissed her lips, tasting like jelly, sweet but somewhat sour.

Lawrence was completely frozen.

She had kissed Kenneth’s cheek in the past, but it was nothing like the feeling of them kissing now.

She didn’t know how to respond and could only stay motionless.

It was also Kenneth’s first time kissing a girl’s lips; he was a bit clumsy at first, but quickly figured out the right way.

Not long after, Lawrence, who loves to learn and learns quickly, also mastered the technique. They kissed passionately in Kenneth’s room, forgetting the time.

Nick Zeller and Gabrielle Winters returned home together.

After entering the house, they each went to their rooms to change clothes.

Nick even checked the old Daoist’s room and discovered he went out and hadn’t returned yet.

He originally thought only Kenneth was home since Lawrence typically returned around six, so without much thought, he headed to Kenneth’s room.

And when Lawrence went to Kenneth’s room, they were alone at home, so she forgot to close the door.

Then Nick stood at the doorway, witnessing a scene he’d never forget in his life.

On Kenneth’s computer chair, he was tightly holding Lawrence, their lips so swollen from kissing...

Nick’s eyes widened, his mouth agape, staring blankly for a moment before yelling out: ”My eyes! My eyes! You owe me my eyes!”

He covered his eyes with his hands, yelling dramatically.

Kenneth snapped back to reality, quickly pressing Lawrence’s head against his chest, so she wouldn’t have to face such an embarrassing situation, then said to Nick, ”Uncle Nick, could you please close the door?”

”Close... the door?! What else do you want to do?!” Nick suddenly dropped his hands, eyes wide as copper bells, ”Lawrence! Get out here!”

Lawrence instinctively wanted to leave Kenneth’s embrace.

Kenneth held her tightly, smiling at Nick, ”Uncle Nick, Nora and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. It’s perfectly normal for us to kiss.”

”Who knows if you’re just kissing?!” Nick waved his arms, roaring angrily, instantly imagining Lawrence ”pregnant before marriage,” ”You better take responsibility, I’m warning you! Or I’ll ruin your life! Bring your business down!”

Kenneth was amused and quickly said, ”Of course I will. Uncle Nick, don’t worry, I can marry Nora right away.”

”No, no, no! I’m not ready for marriage yet!” Lawrence, still lying in Kenneth’s arms, shouted anxiously.

She really wasn’t ready to get married. She was only twenty and definitely didn’t want to be called an ”Auntie” so soon...

Nick finally patted his chest, looking relieved, and reached out to Lawrence, ”Lawrence, come here. You two have had your fun; now it’s time for dinner. Go, help your mom with dinner.”

Lawrence actually didn’t want to leave Kenneth at that moment.

She knew him so well, yet this embrace felt different from all the others.

She yearned for that warmth filled with possessiveness and dependence.

This feeling was both novel and special; she had never experienced it before.

Nick, however, couldn’t stand watching these two closely intimate, finally huffing as he entered and pulled her from Kenneth’s arms, saying, ”The elders are here, what does this look like? Is this how your uncle taught you?”

Lawrence pouted, unhappily saying, ”But Brother Kenneth is my boyfriend; what’s wrong with being affectionate with him?”

Nick was dumbfounded, staring at her for a long while before saying, ”You’ve grown bold now! Even daring to talk back to your uncle?! Are you going or do I tell your mom?!”

”I’m going, I’m going!” Lawrence was most afraid of her mom, and instantly panicked, ”Uncle, I’ll listen to you, please don’t tell my mom...”

”Hmph, that’s better.” Nick looked a little pleased, glancing at Kenneth.

Kenneth’s lips were slightly swollen, but it didn’t affect his handsome appearance at all, adding a touch of allure.

Nick glared at him again.

Sure enough, a male seducer!

Only knows how to lure his pure and lovely girl!

Once he takes Lawrence back, he needs to prepare her a talisman to put under her pillow to fend off admirers...

Nick quickly dragged Lawrence out of Kenneth’s room.

Lawrence, being pulled along, stumbled, occasionally glancing back at Kenneth, her eyes showing a hint of longing...

After Kenneth calmed down, looking at Lawrence again, he finally separated her from the familiar image he had from childhood.

Now she was the person he truly loved.

Maybe all childhood sweethearts have to go through this stage to end up together.

If they can’t separate from the childhood images, childhood sweethearts cannot truly experience a resonating love.

Kenneth was quite certain that he and Lawrence were truly ”together” from today.

Maybe he could really consider buying a house and getting married...

They could wait a few years to have children, but a life unperturbed by others with Lawrence was what he longed for most...

As Kenneth thought, he stood up with his temporary crutches and headed to the bathroom.

When he went to the bathroom to wash his face and saw his slightly swollen lips, he felt a bit embarrassed too.

No wonder Nick reacted so strongly. If his daughter were held by a man kissing her, he’d probably explode too...

As Kenneth thought about it, he couldn’t suppress the grin on his face.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang, an unknown number he had never seen before.

Kenneth hesitated for a moment but decided to answer it.

The voice on the other end was a bit old but carried an unconcealable joy: ”Hello, is this Kenneth Osborne?”

Kenneth nodded, ”Yes, may I ask who’s calling?”

The person on the other end laughed heartily, ”I’m Cameron Spencer, and I’m calling specifically to tell you that you’re an uncle!”

Kenneth: ”???”
