Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 78

• The instant Anthony heard from Thalia that the car was gone, he almost collapsed onto the ground.

• Natasha's phone was disconnected, and he simply couldn't get in touch with her.

•

•

Having learned about the situation as well, Benjamin and Denise were so terrified that their eyes turned red-rimmed.

"S-Should we contact Mr. Handsome? Perhaps he knows Mommy's location," Denise suggested.

• Her remark seemingly ignited a spark of hope within them.

•

Benjamin promptly turned to Anthony.

•

Anthony went silent for a few seconds before he agreed. "Okay. We'll phone him right away!"

• At once, Denise whipped out her phone. She searched for Kenneth's contact in her WhatsApp and rang him up. Meanwhile, Kenneth was confronting Thea.

•

•

•

Pushing her away, he looked at her and stated, "Thea, I think you misunderstood."

"Misunderstood? What did I misunderstand?" Thea demanded with her eyes pinned on him while slightly intoxicated.

"I regard you as a friend, business partner, and family. I don't have any romantic feelings for you," Kenneth explained. Upon hearing that, Thea was stunned.

• "You drank a bit too much today. We'll talk further when you've sobered up." After saying that, Kenneth proceeded to leave.

• At that precise moment, his phone rang.

•

Taking it out for a glance, he saw that it was a WhatsApp voice call from Denise. With a frown marring his countenance, he answered the call. • "Hello."

• "Where are you, Mr. Handsome? Will you please save Nat? Please save my mommy."

• The furrow of Kenneth's brows deepened when he heard Denise's choked voice. "Tell me. What happened?"

• "I-I don't know how to put it..."

Just then, someone else took the phone from her. "Where are you right now, Kenneth Hamilton? Are you with my mommy?"

• When Kenneth heard that it was someone else's voice, he was all the more confused. "Who's your mommy?"

• "Natasha Watson. She is my mommy."

•

•

•

•

Goosebumps rose all over Kenneth, but still, he asked solemnly, "Natasha has children?"

"Yes. Is my mommy with you or what, Kenneth? She's now in danger. Her situation is perilous!" the boy snapped.

Hearing that Natasha was in danger, Kenneth frowned. "What exactly happened?"

"My mommy went to Hamilton Corporation to discuss work matters today. Someone saw her car being tampered with, but I can't get in contact with her now." While saying that, the voice on the other end o the phone broke.

Realizing the severity of the matter, Kenneth replied, "I got it. My phone has a tracking feature. I'll phone you when I manage to get in contact with her." After saying that, he hung up right away and got to his feet to leave.

Right then, Thea suddenly hugged him from behind. "Don't go, Kenneth!"

"I've got something to attend to. Let go of me."

•

"No, never! Once I do that, you'll leave!"

•

Kenneth said nothing, prying her hands off him directly. Then, he stood up and stalked off.

• At that, Thea broke down. With her eyes fixated on his back, she shouted, "Have you fallen in love with Natasha?"

•

Kenneth's steps faltered. He didn't turn back but answered, "I don't know. However, I know that I must go and look for her right now." Having said that, he opened the door and walked out.

• As Thea stared at his back, her hands clenched into fists.

• The sight of the dinner she painstakingly prepared was such an eyesore that she couldn't help charging forward and sweeping everything on the table to the floor.

• With a loud crash, the plates and red wine shattered all over the floor.

·

Gazing at the destruction, she slumped onto the ground.

• Why? Just why? I've already gone to such lengths, but why does he still not love me? In the past, I thought he had some feelings for me at the very least, but now, all my fantasies shattered the moment he rushed out. Natasha Watson! What's so great about that woman?

•

At the thought of Natasha, resentment swamped her. I'll never give up just like this!

·

After leaving, Kenneth lifted his phone and checked the car's location.

• The car was still on the move, and it was heading toward the suburbs. He likewise tried calling Natasha on his phone, but the latter's phone was still disconnected.

• Da*n it!

•

Getting into the car, he sped toward the location indicated on his phone.

• Out of the blue, something occurred to him, and he gave Fabian a call.

•

"Phone the headquarters of the car dealership and have them check the status of the car Natasha is driving. Also, send an alert out to the car's system and have her stop the car," Kenneth ordered. • "Huh? Why?" Fabian queried.

"Don't ask so many questions. Just do as I said immediately!" Kenneth was utterly panicked then.

• Fabian didn't dare ask further. "I'll make the call right away." When he had said that, the call disconnected.

• After hanging up the phone, Kenneth floored the gas pedal, racing toward the location of the car when he saw that it was still moving.

⚫ I hope nothing happens to you, Natasha! You'd better stay safe!

• A glimmer of determination glinted in his eyes, and he accelerated.

• As Natasha drove, she didn't replace anything amiss at first. But as time passed and the speed picked up, the brakes were seemingly malfunctioning.

·

Realizing that there was a problem with the car, she turned it around and headed toward sparsely populated areas.

•

However, Glenport City was still a huge city, so there were still a lot of cars despite it being nighttime and her heading toward the suburbs.

•

She wore a grim expression on her face as she clutched the steering wheel, doing her best to avoid every car.

• The further she drove toward the suburbs, the streetlights grew increasingly dimmer. Although there were fewer cars on the road then, every car appearing out of the dark was a challenge to her. • As she drove further, Natasha's confidence plummeted.

• By then, the brakes had completely given way. She glanced around for a place to force a stop, but there were no streetlights on both sides of the road. It was pitch-dark around her, and she couldn't see anything. She could only rely on the dim headlights as she searched.

•

•

At long last, she caught sight of a mound of soil at a corner. Just when she was trying to get a clearer look at it, a honk abruptly blared in front of her.

She swung her gaze forward, but it was pitch-black. There was no road at all.

• In the next second, however, a vehicle barreled out from the front right. Worse still, it was a truck. As soon as Natasha spotted it, she swiftly turned the steering wheel.

• The truck seemingly never expected a car to be in its path either, for the driver also turned the steering wheel sharply and jammed on the brakes.

•

•

Alas, Natasha wasn't that lucky. The brakes didn't work at all. She slammed headlong into the slope at the side. Perhaps the car was going too fast that it even flipped after crashing.

The car turned turtle and started smoking.

•

At home, Anthony was entirely restless.

•

·

The three children were aware that someone sabotaged Natasha's car, but they didn't dare tell Terence about it, afraid that he couldn't take it. Besides, they also didn't want him to worry or trigger him. They made up an excuse and stayed in the same room.

"Things should be fine. Mr. Handsome knows about it now, so he'll replace Mommy!" Denise reassured Anthony, also trying to calm herself at the same time.

Anthony said nothing, merely picking up the glass of water on the table. It was uncertain whether he was distracted or careless, but the glass fell onto the floor and shattered into pieces. When he picked up the shards, he suddenly pricked his finger and it started to bleed.

"Mommy," he muttered.

·

Benjamin and Denise exchanged a look.

• In that heartbeat, there was seemingly a telepathic connection between them. Denise broke down, and tears escaped her eyes.
