Chapter 128 I Love Only You
Seeing Natalie back, Kendrick closed the book and asked, "Have you solved it?"
"It's almost done. Haylie deleted the tweet. After the testing results come out tomorrow, she will
cooperate with us to clarify it."
Natalie let out a sigh of relief and said, "It has nothing to do with our cosmetics. The allergy is caused
by her jewelry."
Seeing her little face turn pale with cold, Kendrick held her cold hand. But Natalie naughtily pulled it out
and stuck it to his neck. He shrank his neck because of the cold. However, he did not push her away
but let her press her hand on his neck.
Natalie quickly withdrew her hand and put it back in his palm.
Kendrick held her hand until it got warm and said, "Go upstairs to take a shower. It's getting late. Let's
talk about it tomorrow."
"Aren't you going upstairs?"
"I'll stay here for a little longer."
Natalie didn't force him but went back to her bedroom to take a shower.
She was sleepy but excited. Fortunately, she had a keen eye and enough experience to tell it was a
metal allergy. If she handled it properly, it would not have any negative influence on the promotion but
would bring unexpected gains.
Was it because of her good luck?
Not really. It relied on her capability!
Natalie was proud of herself, hummed a song, turned off the shower, wrapped herself in a towel, and
left the bathroom.
When she put on her pajamas before going to bed, there was a knock on the door. After opening the
door, she saw Kendrick holding a glass of hot milk outside. He had stayed downstairs to warm the milk
for her.
She secretly apologized to him for having thought he was a bad man and immediately let him come in
with a smile.
The temperature of the milk was just right.
She downed it in one gulp, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said, "Haylie did not maliciously intend to
frame us, but her tweet caused damage to our brand image. We can sue her. But I think this is a good
marketing opportunity."
If they sued Haylie, the lawsuit would take a long time, and Flower Face might not necessarily take
advantage of it.
But if they made use of the twist to market their products, it would bring a win-win result. After all,
Haylie had a lot of followers.
Kendrick said, "A win-win situation is the best."
"Do you also think so?"
Natalie blinked. After getting his support, she became more confident and said, "I will persuade her into
cooperating with us."
Natalie yawned and threw herself on the bed with her hair wrapped in a shower cap.
Kendrick immediately frowned, "Get up and dry your hair."
She mumbled, "But I'm too sleepy!"
She was so sleepy that she would fall asleep as soon as closing her eyes.
Kendrick helplessly asked, "Where's the hair dryer?"
"I don't know. Somewhere in the bathroom."
While she was resting with her eyes closed, he whispered in her ear, "Lie here. I will help you blow your
hair dry."
When she opened her sleepy eyes, she found he had brought the hairdryer over. Although she was
sleepy, she still moved her head to him and mumbled, "Turn on the second gear."
When the warm air blew on her hair, she felt indescribably comfortable. She had washed and dried her
hair by herself for years because she used to be single. Now, she felt as if walking on cloud nine.
When Kendrick was carefully drying her hair, he ran his fingers through her thick and smooth hair,
letting it slip between his fingers.
Natalie suddenly said, "Honey."
"Yes?"
"Why are you so nice to me?"
Kendrick was amused by her question and asked, "Who else do you think I should be nice to?"
After his gentle voice reached her ears with the warm wind, she asked again, "You love me too, don't
you?"
She kept her eyes closed as if asleep, and her voice was soft.
He laughed, "Who else can I love?"
"Answer my question! Do you love me?"
While speaking, she accented the word "me".
Kendrick nodded, "Yes, I love you."
She felt satisfied and muttered a few more words, but he didn't hear what she had said.
After a while, Kendrick put away the hair dryer. When he was about to leave, she grabbed his sleeve
and asked, "Where are you going?"
She didn't open her eyes but put forth a lot of strength in her hand.
"I'm going to bed," he replied.
"Okay."
Natalie moved a little inside, patted the place beside her, and said, "Sleep!"
Then, she threw a pillow at him. There were two pillows on her bed. She often rested her head on one
and held the other while sleeping.
Kendrick held the pillow and smelt her fragrance on it. After he turned off the light, the room fell silent.
As soon as he lay down, a small head appeared in his arms.
She rubbed her face against his chest while talking in her sleep, saying, "Men are all jerks."
He thought she was scolding him in her dream. But she soon added, "I think she is wrong. You're a
good man. But I couldn't refute her words at that time."
She then muttered about the allergy.
Kendrick ventured, "How did you know it's a metal allergy?"
Natalie paused for a second and vaguely replied, "I've seen it before."
"Where?"
Natalie didn't reply because she had fallen asleep.
--
When Natalie woke up at eight in the morning, there was no one beside her. But she remembered Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Kendrick had slept next to her last night. He must get up early today.
She had been so sleepy last night that she only remembered he had helped her dry her hair.
Natalie washed up and put on make-up. When she went downstairs, Kendrick was having black coffee
at the dining table. He needed coffee to make him more energetic.
Natalie said good morning, sat down beside him, and said, "I will go to the hospital later."
"The testing results have come out."
"Show me!"
Kendrick motioned for her to finish her breakfast first. So, she stuffed the sandwich into her mouth, took
a sip of milk, and said, "I'm done."
She then looked through the electronic testing report. Sure enough, the necklace was not sterling silver
but had other metal impurities which had caused Haylie's allergy. The hospital also said her condition
had significantly improved after she had taken the medicine. After all, the rash had almost disappeared.
When Natalie rushed out without hesitation, Kendrick stopped her and said, "Put on your trench coat."
He was worrying about her all the time.
Natalie put on her windbreaker and said, "I'll be back after solving the problem."
--
Brock got to the hospital before Natalie and showed the testing report to Haylie.
It was not a sterling silver necklace but contained other impurities. It was a knockoff.
"It must not be a fake!"
Haylie said in disbelief, "He said he bought it in the shopping more! And there is a receipt!"
But she had long thrown the receipt away.
"Do you remember the date and time? I can help you check it," Brock said.
Haylie carefully recalled it. It was an anniversary gift after they had dated for three years. He had made
a special trip to the shopping mall to buy it and shown her the receipt. Because it was expensive, she
felt very moved then.
She had never expected it to be fake.
Brock was efficient, so he soon found out Haylie's boyfriend had indeed bought a necklace at T's
counter. There was a consumption record. And the counter must not sell knockoffs.
So, why had she received a fake?
