Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Tell You A Secret

Neither of the kids was expecting Kenneth to bring Natasha in like that.

The four of them were gathered around and having a lively chat when Kenneth came in with Natasha.

"Nat, you're here!" Denise exclaimed upon seeing her.

"Yeah. It's getting late, so we should head back now," Natasha said.

Denise frowned. "But we haven't had desserts!"

I'm surprised she has the audacity to bring up desserts... No, she's my child, so I must remain calm!

With that in mind, Natasha forcefully maintained a smile on her face.

Kenneth shot her a glance and said, "We're in no rush. Let's have dessert before leaving. Denise, bring it over and we'll all share it."

"Okay!" Denise ran off happily to fetch the desserts.

Fabian seized the opportunity to approach Natasha and said, "Hi, Ms. Watson. Long time no see."

Natasha nodded slightly at him in response. "Long time no see."

,

Some people are simply born into a life of wealth, and Natasha over here is a good example of that. She's both beautiful and sassy at the same time! On top of that, she gave birth to triplets too! I must make sure to curry favor with her if I am to benefit from her!

"How are you recovering so far?" Fabian asked.

"Quite well, actually."

"Injuries are no joking matter, so you have to be more careful. Feel free to let me know if you ever need my help!"

Natasha nodded. "Thanks."

"Please, don't mention it."

Benjamin and Anthony rolled their eyes at him.

Ugh... Isn't he trying a little too hard?

Having divided the desserts, Denise handed them a piece each.

Fabian was shocked when she gave him one as well. "I-I get one too?"

"You've worked hard looking after Mr. Handsome, so it's only natural that you get a piece too!" Denise replied.

Oh, my goodness! For such a young child, she sure is incredibly adorable, well-mannered, mature, and likable! This must be the result of Natasha's amazing parenting!

Fabian was so overwhelmed by emotions that he didn't really know how to react. "T-Thank you, Little Marshmallow..." he mumbled while receiving the dessert from her. "You're welcome!" Denise said with a smile before making her way toward Kenneth.

Fabian then gestured at the couch. "Have a seat, Ms. Watson."

Natasha nodded and headed over to the couch.

Anthony and Benjamin immediately made their way over and stood guard beside her the moment she sat down.

It became obvious that the boys were closer to Natasha, and that Denise favored Kenneth more. In fact, she would probably glue herself to him if she could.

Of course, Kenneth was well aware of all that.

Anthony and Benjamin are always acting maturely like adults whenever they see me. Denise, on the other hand, would always melt my heart and make me want to shower her with love and affection. When faced with Natasha, however, Anthony and Benjamin act just like ordinary children. As for Natasha... She's always cold and distant but becomes incredibly gentle and warm whenever she's around her kids.

The look in his eyes softened as he looked at her from the side.

"Nat's pretty, isn't she?" Denise asked all of a sudden.

Kenneth turned around and flashed her a smile. "Yeah, she is."

Denise let out a helpless sigh. "It's a shame she doesn't realize that. She actually thinks she looks plain in this outfit! Can you believe it?"

Kenneth chuckled and patted her on the head. "You sure know a lot, huh?"

Denise took a bite of her dessert and asked, "Do you like Nat, Mr. Handsome?"

Kenneth paused for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, I do."

"Do you want to date her, then?" Denise pressed on.

Not wanting to lie to his kids, Kenneth replied without any hesitation, "I do."

Denise let out a giggle. "I knew it!"

Seeing how happy she was, Kenneth couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth.

But, so what if I do? Natasha already has someone else that she likes.

The next thing he knew, Denise stood on her tiptoes and whispered into his ear, "Let me tell you a secret, Mr. Handsome."

"What is it?"

"While we were on the way here, I asked Nat if she'd date Mr. Zach. Guess what? She said no!"

Kenneth froze upon hearing that and stared at her in silence.

"By 'Mr. Zach,' I mean Zachary Lynch!" Denise added.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes. "Is this true, Denise?"

Denise nodded. "It's true! Nat said it herself on the way here. She only sees Mr. Zach as a friend, nothing more. If you like her, then you must work hard to win her over!" Kenneth shifted his gaze toward Natasha.

If what Denise said is true, then why didn't Natasha deny it when I questioned her the other day?

"Just so you know, Nat has tons of suitors. I'm not sure why, but those suitors all ended up being her friends instead," Denise said with a confused look on her face.

Kenneth let out a chuckle when he heard that. "Nat is far too excellent for those ordinary guys, so they can only befriend her at best."

Denise's eyes lit up. "Oh, that makes sense! This is the most logical explanation I've heard so far! By the way, Mr. Handsome... Nat may seem cold and aloof on the outside, but she's really soft and easily moved. She doesn't really know how to get along with people because she hasn't been in a relationship before, so she tries to put on a tough front. If you really like her, then you must cherish her and keep her safe from harm!"

Her charisma was practically identical to that of Natasha's.

Kenneth shifted his gaze back toward Natasha as he said, "Yeah, I will. Don't worry; I won't let her down this time."

Natasha happened to look in his direction at the time, and their eyes met briefly.

Feeling uneasy from his scorching gaze, Natasha deliberately cleared her throat and said, "It's getting late, Denise. We should head back now."

"Okay!"

Denise then turned toward Kenneth and whispered, "I've got to go now, Mr. Handsome. I'll keep you posted if anything happens!"

Kenneth flashed her an affectionate smile. "All right."

"Bye, Mr. Handsome!" Denise waved at him before reluctantly returning to Natasha's side.

"We'll be on our way now," Natasha said.

"I'll give you guys a ride."

"That won't be necessary."

"I'll just walk you to the door, then."

Natasha made no further attempts to refuse him after that.

As he watched them enter the car outside the hospital, Kenneth felt a strong urge to go with them.

"It's really late now. Maybe I should drive you guys home."

"No, thanks," the three kids said to him in unison, much to Natasha's amusement.

Ha! I don't even need to say a word!

"You're still injured, Mr. Handsome. Right now, your main priority should be recovering from your injury. You'll have plenty of opportunities to drive us home in the future!" Denise advised him. Kenneth nodded. "All right, then. I'll do as you say, Denise."

He then glanced at Natasha as he continued, "Let me know when you get home."

Natasha nodded instinctively at him without saying a word.
