Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 151

Chapter 151 They Are Her Hope

Natasha was just done freshening up herself when she saw people moving things into the house.

Just as she was starting to figure out what was happening, Terence and Liam walked in, still arguing with each other.

"Old Mr. Hamilton? What brings you here?"

Liam stopped quarreling with Terence and flashed a wide smile when he saw Natasha. "I'm here to see you and the three kiddos. Nat, why are you discharged before you've fully recovered?" He was concerned.

"I'm tired of staying in the hospital, and it was just superficial wounds anyway. Resting at home is the same," Natasha replied with a smile.

"I see. Anyway, health comes first, so do set that as your priority. I've brought you some highly nutritious supplements. Remember to eat them." "Thank you, Old Mr. Hamilton, but you shouldn't have spent that much money on me." Natasha smiled at the pile of things Liam brought. "You don't have to thank him. His pockets are deep, and he's willing to spend!" Terence interrupted before Liam could react.

"Terence, that's not how you give a compliment," Liam dissed.

"You can leave if you don't like how I speak!"

"I..." That drove Liam up the wall.

"Old Mr. Hamilton, why don't you join us for dinner?" Natasha suggested just in time, and it completely doused the rage within Liam in less than a second. "What a sweet lady you are, Nat. It's my pleasure to accept your invitation!"

"Have dinner at your own house, Liam. I'm not going to serve you." The thought of preparing dinner for him made Terence frown.

"Since when do I need you to serve me? I'm more than capable to help out in the kitchen!"

"Forget about it. Shoo! I'm sure you're going to set my kitchen on fire if you helped." Terence stopped Liam from progressing further when he saw the latter was already rolling up his sleeves.

"But-"

"Stand aside if you want to have dinner here."

"Okay. I'll do just that. In the meantime, let me look for my great-grandchildren!" Liam swiftly turned around and went looking for the triplets.

Terence looked up at Liam's waning figure, smiled faintly, and went back to making dinner.

Dinner was like a boisterous jamboree.

Terence and Liam never stopped throwing shades at each other, but the atmosphere was lively.

A wistful thought crossed Liam's mind. This is far better than having meals at home alone!

That was when he decided to pop by this residence every now and then to have a meal.

Not only could he fill his tummy, but he could also see his great-grandchildren. Terence would certainly be yapping in his ear, but it would be worth it.

After dinner, Liam stayed till very late. He said his goodbyes with a heavy heart.

Natasha and the triplets saw him out of their home. Just as the three children were about to head inside, Natasha called out to them, stopping them in their tracks. "Three of you, come to my room."

The triplets looked at each other before swirling their eyes to Terence. "Ehem! I'm going to bed." He bade them goodnight and went back to his room.

Their efforts in asking for help ended in vain, and they helplessly followed Natasha back to her bedroom.

"Nat, did we do anything wrong?" Denise carefully asked.

"You tell me." Natasha perked her brows, sweeping her gaze over the three of them.

Denise looked toward Anthony and then Benjamin. She chose to remain quiet eventually to avoid saying the wrong things again.

Natasha looked at the triplets, and thought for a moment, before saying, "It has been a roller coaster, and you guys must've been worried sick."

Hm? Isn't she going to going to give us a scolding?

The three pairs of gloomy eyes instantly brightened up.

"There are some things you already know. Yet, I'm still going to tell you face to face." Natasha looked at them intently.

The three kids looked back at her steadfastly without uttering a word.

"Kenneth... Kenneth is your daddy, and Mr. Hamilton is your great-grandpa. I guess you already knew about it?"

The three kids, again, exchanged glances and nodded.

"Our marriage wasn't a good one. Kenneth didn't know about you three when we divorced. I was the one who selfishly took you away, so we shouldn't blame him."

The triplets were paying full attention. This was the very first time Natasha talked about this.

"What I want to say is whatever happens between me and him or whatever the outcome is, our love for you will always be true. He was delightfully surprised when he knew about you three, so I believe he's going to be a good father."

"Nat..." Anthony looked at her and sort of knew what she was going to say after that.

"In other words, I'm not against you calling him 'Dad' or being close to him. I will respect your choices and accept them. You're free to choose to be with him or me."

"Nat, I only want you. I'm not going anywhere!" Anthony took a step forward and frowned.

"Daddy might be rich, but it's not as good as being with you, Nat. I want to follow you and not go anywhere," Benjamin remarked.

Seeing that her brothers had declared their positions, Denise didn't know what to do. She eventually dived into Natasha's embrace and whined, "Nat, I like Daddy very much, but I've never thought of leaving you. You're the one I love most! I'm not going anywhere. I'm coming with you!"

Natasha was pleased to see the triplets reacting in that manner.

Instead of saying that she gave life to them, she would rather say that it was them who gave her hope.

Her life became interesting because of them, and they made time fly.

"One more thing. You might be Watsons, but Mr. Hamilton is also your great-grandpa, and I could tell he loves you with all his heart. You have to treat him well like how you treat Gramps, okay?" The triplets nodded in unison.

Natasha was relieved after pouring her heart out. She could finally put down this burden that she had been carrying for years.

"All right! It's late. Go to bed now," Natasha said.

"Nat, can I sleep with you tonight?" Denise looked at Natasha with her puppy eyes.

"No!" Anthony pulled his sister away from Natasha.

"What are you doing, Tony!" The little girl knitted her brows.

"Nat has wounds on her body. Tony is scared that you might make them worse," Benjamin explained.

"That's not it. You're jealous that I can sleep with Nat!" Denise retorted.

The three little monkeys bickered as they walked out of Natasha's bedroom.

The uplifted spirit Natasha had a moment ago faded with the children's waning silhouette, though.

She knew that her children weren't like any other children. Like what she told herself, there were some things she didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Instead of setting boundaries around her triplets, strengthening herself would make more sense as she could be their support when they needed it.

At that thought, she picked up her phone and sent a message: I'll head over tomorrow.
