Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 1053 Farewell

It was as if Miguel already knew what would work on Anthony.

Without uttering a word, Anthony unwrapped the lollipop and popped it into his mouth.

Looking at Miguel, a roguish smile lifted from the corners of Anthony's mouth. "You better study hard and improve. If you don't meet the standards, you could be expelled from the master at any time." "Don't worry. I definitely won't give you that chance," Miguel said.

Anthony took a deep breath. "Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Anthony then turned his gaze toward Spencer and Dave, who were nearby. Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked away.

The time to part would eventually come.

Anthony was not one to express his feelings well, so even when it came to farewells, no matter how emotional he might be, he still wouldn't say much. "Master, have a safe journey," Miguel called out.

At that moment, Denise was still at the door, looking at Miguel. She directly reached out her little hand.

Upon seeing that, Miguel asked, "What?"

"Lollipops!" she exclaimed. "Don't you have any for me and Ben?"

"Um..." Miguel was taken aback. "I don't."

Denise immediately furrowed her brows.

"I was in such a rush when I came, so..."

With a cold huff, Denise withdrew her hand. "Yes! I know you only care about your master!"

Miguel didn't feel bad at all. He chuckled and replied, "Next time, okay? I'll make it up to you next time."

"All right. I'll remember it." With that, Denise withdrew her hand.

Looking at Miguel, then at Dave, she said, "The time has come. I really have to go now, Mr. Dave. Goodbye."

Dave looked at her and nodded.

Denise also withdrew his gaze and walked straight inside.

Seeing the situation, Benjamin just nodded at them.

At that moment, no amount of words could express the reluctance in their hearts, so they chose to remain silent.

Seeing that they had all gone in, Spencer looked at Dave and said, "I'll go now."

Dave nodded.

Just like that, Spencer also boarded the plane with them.

As the door gradually closed, the plane was then prepared to take off.

Dave, Miguel, and the people behind them stood there, watching the plane take off without leaving.

No one knew how much time had passed until they could no longer see the airplane in the sky. Only then did Miguel shift his gaze, glancing sideways at Dave. Dave still had his hands tucked in his pockets, his eyes raised to the sky as if his entire being had taken flight with the plane.

Seeing the situation, Miguel slowly moved toward him.

"Dave, why didn't you see Kenneth off?" Miguel suddenly asked.

Dave shifted toward Miguel. "What do you think?"

"I..." Miguel looked at him, muttering softly, "How would I know?"

Dave chuckled lightly. "Your intelligence and perception really do fall short compared to Anthony!"

"Dave, when you belittle me, are you also indirectly saying "

Before Miguel could finish his sentence, he met Dave's gaze and managed to hold back. "Anyway, you know what I mean."

"Is that all you can think about?"

"Dave, you must have some misunderstanding about me. As someone with such high emotional intelligence as me, I'm quite likable, aren't I?" Miguel asked.

Dave shot him a disdainful look and ignored him.

Dave then gazed in the direction where the plane had gone. At that moment, the look in his eyes became increasingly unfathomable and complex.

In truth, Miguel could tell that he was really reluctant to part and couldn't help but say, "Dave, if you really can't bear it, why not go with them? Leaving the headquarters for a few days won't cause any problems."

"Am I not giving you enough work?" Dave suddenly asked.

Miguel was taken aback. "Dave, we're talking about our emotions."

"Emotions? You know, I've been a bit short on cash recently... Does this mean I don't have to pay you this month?" Dave asked.

Miguel immediately went silent for a second.

"I'm heading back right now!" Miguel said.

Dave didn't speak. Instead, he just kept looking up at the horizon.

After taking a few steps, Miguel turned around, spun in a circle, and walked back toward Dave. "Dave, I don't mean to complain, but the excuse you've come up with is just terrible. How on earth did you think being short of money would be a believable one-"

Before he could even finish his sentence, he caught sight of Dave's nonchalant gaze and instantly shut his mouth.

"I'm leaving..." Miguel turned around, spun in a circle, and obediently walked away.

Watching his retreating figure, Dave sighed helplessly.

After he had walked far away, Dave retracted his gaze, once again looking up at the sky. Miguel is right. Being away for a few days is not a problem. The thing is that it won't change anything. Kenneth, will we have the chance to meet and get drunk together once again in our lifetime?

Meanwhile, the airplane ascended into the sky and gradually stabilized.

The private jet was vast, with ample space. It gave off a feeling of ultimate luxury.

A dedicated flight attendant came over to serve them. After they ordered red wine and coffee, she stepped away.

At that moment, Thalia was sitting next to Spencer. Seeing that Natasha remained silent, her thoughts unknown to everyone, the two exchanged glances. When they were about to say something, Anthony called out, "Nat."

Natasha snapped back to reality, her gaze turning toward him.

"What are you thinking about?" Anthony asked.

"Nothing." Natasha shook her head.

"Your unhappiness is written all over your face," Anthony said. "And everyone on this plane is watching you."

Hearing that, Natasha looked up at them.

Upon seeing the look in Thalia's and Spencer's eyes, she forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, really."

Everyone looked at her, unsure of what to say.

In an attempt to ease the tension, Natasha suddenly thought of something. "Hey, Spencer."

Spencer looked toward her.

"Aren't you going to do something about Thalia?”

"Huh?" Spencer was completely baffled.

Natasha took a deep breath and said, "Thalia always stands up for others without considering the circumstances. Aren't you afraid that she might get into trouble?"

Hearing that, they finally understood that Natasha was referring to the incident where Thalia stepped in to protect her in a moment of crisis.

Spencer glanced at Thalia, expressing helplessly, "I've already criticized her, but unfortunately, it didn't make any difference."

After that, Thalia immediately said, "I stood in the way because I knew Holden wouldn't shoot me. You don't need to be unnecessarily moved." Thalia wasn't fond of such melodramatic scenes.

She would risk her life for those who treated her well, but she simply couldn't handle the sentimental matters.

Natasha knew Thalia's character perfectly, so she retorted, "Who said I was touched? I was clearly criticizing!"

Thalia turned toward Natasha and said, "Natasha, can't you behave like a normal woman for once? Why do you always act so unpredictably?"

"That's because that's just who I am!" said Natasha.

Thalia looked at her helplessly and unsure of what to say in response.

After a long pause, Thalia finally nodded. "All right. Are you happy now that you've proven your point?"

"Of course! Now that you know how capable I am, don't always think about shielding me. I'm not that weak. I don't need to be protected," Natasha enunciated.
