Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 119

Liam sighed helplessly.

We may be the same age, but these are really massively different lives we’re living.

The kids of others usually made them proud, but his grandson only ever seemed to be the subject

of many eye-rolls.

Liam walked toward Terence and started attempting to comfort him. “Don’t be mad. It’s normal to

want someone as outstanding as Nat in your family, right? It would be weird if you don’t!”

Terence couldn’t deny that that was rather nice to hear.

“Well, you certainly have better taste than that grandson of yours!” Terence said haughtily.

Even a deaf person could hear the intention behind his words.

Liam wasn’t angry. On the contrary, he smiled and asked, “Could the young man who came by the

other day be the lucky guy you’re talking about?”

Terence raised an eyebrow. “You still remember him?”

“Of course! I practically remember everyone who hangs around Nat.”

Terence nodded, not hiding anything anymore. “Yes, it’s him.”

“Well… are they dating?” Liam asked.

Terence paused and replied, “They will soon. Besides, he definitely has feelings for my Nat. He

has already told me that.”

Kenneth looked at Natasha, who simply acted as if she hadn’t seen or heard anything.

It was as if she hadn’t heard anything that the two old geezers had been saying.

Liam nodded after hearing that. “So I take it that they aren’t dating?”

Terence frowned as he looked up at him. “Why do you sound happy about it?”

“Oh, of course not!” Liam shook his head and tried to stay serious. “Why would I be happy about

that? I just want to hear about who has their eyes on Nat, that’s all. That young man… hmm, he is

quite good-looking!”

“Of course,” Terence said proudly.

Benjamin tried his best to hold his laughter in.

He kind of felt that Liam was lying through his teeth.

Liam looked at Terence and said, “Don’t you worry. Nat may not be my granddaughter, but I will

treat her as my own! Everything I do is simply for the sake of her happiness.”

No one knew if he meant it, but it was definitely something nice to hear.

“Seems like you’re finally coming around,” Terence said.

“Of course.”

Terence checked the time and said, “Since you’re already here, why don’t we all have lunch

together?”

Liam couldn’t be happier at such a request. “Sure!”

Terence glanced at the two kids next to him and said, “Let’s go, kids. We’re going to eat with your

great-grandpa!”

“Yay!”

“What about mommy?” Benjamin asked.

“Oh, I’m alright. Don’t worry about me-”

“You guys can go ahead. I’ll stay here. Someone will deliver food in a bit,” Kenneth said before

Natasha could finish speaking.

Terence frowned, but Liam hurriedly answered, “Good! You just stay here. At least, I won’t lose my

appetite then.”

As he spoke, he pulled Terence out the door. “Let’s go!”

He didn’t even give Terence the time to refute as he called the kids next. “Let’s go, my little

sweethearts!”

Benjamin and Denise glanced at each other and knowingly gave them space.

To an outsider, it may have seemed like a wondrous coincidence.

In the corridor, Terence was frowning with worry. “Is it alright to leave the two of them alone in

there?”

“Why wouldn’t it? Besides, Nat is a patient now. What do you think could happen?”

“Liam, why do I feel like-”

“Let’s just go. Man, you’re really nagging more with age.”

–

The two people left alone in the hospital ward were stricken with a strange atmosphere the minute

the voices in the corridor faded.

Kenneth walked over to Natasha, who looked at him. “You don’t need to stay here for me. I can

take good care of myself.”

“It’s my duty to keep a promise I made.”

Natasha scoffed coldly. “Kenneth, this isn’t anything like you and you know it.”

“What exactly am I like, then?”

“Have you forgotten how much of an *ss you used to be?”

Kenneth stayed silent.

“I think Thea is right. You’re always here and I can’t even explain it.”

“There’s no need to explain anything.”

“You’re not thinking of coming back to me, are you?” Natasha asked. His weird behavior the past Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

few days hadn’t escaped her.

“So what if I am?” Kenneth asked, looking at her with his gleaming black eyes, making it hard for

anyone to tell if he was being serious or not.

Natasha paused, not expecting that answer.

After a brief pause, she continued, “Then, I’d advise you to forget about it.”

Kenneth smirked at her reaction. “Why? Are you afraid that Zachary will misunderstand?”

“This has nothing to do with him.”

“Do you like him?” Kenneth asked abruptly.

“That has nothing to do with you.”

“Natasha…” Kenneth trailed off, staring at her with those pitch-black irises of his that almost looked

like an infinite abyss.

Natasha didn’t reply. She simply looked at him with her pretty eyes filled with nonchalance and

distance.

“I don’t allow-”

Kenneth hadn’t finished speaking when his phone rang.

He paused before taking out his phone and frowned when he saw that it was a call from Fabian.

“What is it?”

“Mr. Hamilton, I’m outside the hospital ward right now. Can I come in?” Fabian asked softly.

Kenneth just hung up and glanced at Natasha before walking toward the door.

Fabian was right outside when he opened the door.

“Here’s your lunch, Mr. Hamilton.” Fabian raised up the bag in his hand.

Kenneth didn’t reply. Instead, he simply walked back into the room.

Um…

Fabian was slightly puzzled by his reaction.

Is this a bad time?

Despite that, Fabian still walked in behind Kenneth.

When he spotted Natasha, he smiled his trademark grin. “Ms. Watson! Nice to see you.”

Natasha smiled as she looked over at him. “Hello.”

“Today’s lunch is great!” Fabian said as he began taking all of the food out on the table. “Little

Marshmallow said these were all your favorite foods, so Mr. Hamilton specially asked me to go

there to buy them.”

“Little Marshmallow?”

“Oh! That would be your daughter, Denise! She’s so sweet and cute that I couldn’t help but come

up with this nickname for her.”

Natasha smiled at his response. “She probably loves that nickname too.”

Fabian chuckled.

So Natasha will smile to anyone but me?

Kenneth immediately began to feel annoyed and he turned toward Fabian. “Meet me outside for a

second.”

“Okay. Please enjoy your food, Ms. Watson. I’ll be right back,” Fabian said, immediately getting up

to follow Kenneth outside.

Natasha continued eating, not worried in the slightest about whatever they were about to say.

Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was constantly watching her every move.

What do I do to get everyone out of here?

…

Back in the corridor, Kenneth asked, “How’s that thing I asked you to investigate going?”

“I’ve already found everything that’s related to the case. I sent everything to your e-mail for you to

look at whenever you have time.”

“Did anything seem off to you?”

Fabian shook his head. “Not so far.”

Kenneth didn’t look very happy.
