Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 615

Chapter 615

At that moment, Kenneth was standing outside the door.

Natasha's words cut his heart like a knife.

Instead of barging into the room, he smoked a cigarette by the door.

Meanwhile, Thalia looked at Natasha silently.

As a person who lived dangerously, she had never consoled others. Thus, for a moment, she could not come up with any comforting words.

It was only after a long silence did she speak. "Don't say that. Spencer is here. With his superb medical skills, you'll be all right!"

Natasha lifted her eyes to look at Thalia and flashed her a smile. "Yeah. I believe in his medical skills. I was merely preparing for the worst. Don't feel stressed out, okay?"

Bereft of words, Thalia could only bob her head in response.

Seconds later, Kenneth knocked on the door.

"Nat," he called out to her, gesturing for her to come out.

Natasha looked over her shoulder and glanced at him before standing up and getting out of the room.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

After contemplating for a moment, Kenneth replied, "I need to go out to settle some matter. I'll be back soon."

Natasha did not give him a response immediately. Instead, she stared at him without uttering a word.

"What's wrong?" he asked while locking eyes with her.

Regarding him with a contemplative eye, she asked, "Is it dangerous?"

That caused Kenneth to chuckle. "It's not dangerous. My buddies from DX Group want to meet me, so I'm heading over to see them."

It was only then that Natasha nodded. "All right. Come back soon."

He stepped forward and gave her a peck on the forehead. "I'll be back very soon, so don't worry."

At that, she inclined her head in acknowledgment.

Kenneth was about to leave when the three children came over.

They saw him kissing Natasha's forehead but found it nothing unusual as they had gotten used to it. All they did was exchange teasing glances with one another in silence.

Upon arriving before the couple, Denise looked up at Kenneth and asked, "Daddy, where are you going?"

When Kenneth turned around and saw the children standing behind him, he nodded and said, "I need to make a trip to DX Group!"

Denise nodded in response.

"The three of you must look after Nat and make sure she doesn't skip her meals. Got it?" Kenneth exhorted.

Benjamin and Anthony bobbed their heads in acknowledgment.

Kenneth took another glance at Natasha before leaving reluctantly.

Right after he walked off, Anthony, Benjamin, and Denise moved to stand beside Natasha. Staring at the man's retreating figure, Anthony clicked his tongue and commented, "I can't believe someone that old is behaving like a teenager who's madly in love!"

His remark had Benjamin knitting his brows. "Who are you calling old?"

"Daddy, of course," Anthony replied. "Nat is a natural beauty who will forever be as young as an eighteen-year-old!" The boy then looked in Natasha's direction, hoping to gain her favor.

Natasha nodded and gave him an affirmation. "You're very sophisticated."

Denise could not help but mumble under her breath, "Bootlicker."

Instantly, Anthony directed his gaze at her and asked, "What's wrong? Unless you think Nat is no longer young?"

The little girl did not fall for his trap, as she knew he was trying to provoke her to say the wrong things. With a slight smile touching her lips, she said, "What's so good about being eighteen? Nothing is charming about girls that age. I feel that Nat is now in her prime. She's smart, elegant, and beautiful. She is the embodiment of perfection."

Upon hearing Denise's remark, Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances and gave her a thumbs-up. She's the ultimate bootlicker.

Denise gave them the side-eye. "You two promised Daddy earlier that you'll make sure Nat won't skip her meals, so don't forget about it." With that, she turned around and walked to Thalia's room.

Anthony and Benjamin were at a loss for words.

Natasha eyed the boys and gave them a piece of advice. "This is why you should never mess with women, no matter how young or old they are!"

"Nat..."

She nodded at them before saying, "Trust me. You'll thank me in the future!" Then, she entered the room as well.

Anthony and Benjamin looked at each other, looking utterly helpless and confused.

"Come on. Let's go!" Anthony urged.

The two boys, too, went to Thalia's room.

Thalia was lying in bed when she saw Natasha walking in with the three children. At the sight of the other woman smiling and chatting as if nothing bothered her, complicated emotions welled up within her.

There's no way I could be as chill as her if I were in her shoes!

Thalia began to understand why Anthony held Natasha in high regard. He respects and adores her because she deserves it!

As she was staring blankly at Natasha, Denise's sweet voice resonated in her ear. "Thalia."

Thalia came to her senses and exchanged glances with Natasha, who flashed her a soft, gentle smile. The latter was behaving as though she was not the one who told her those pessimistic words earlier.

"Thalia?" Just then, Denise called out to her again.

Only then did Thalia tilt her head to look at her. "Yeah? What's wrong?"

Denise leaned over. Her exquisite little face was only a hair's breadth away from Thalia's. "I should be the one asking you that. Why did you keep staring at Nat?"

It had to be said that girls were observant.

Right after she uttered those words, Anthony and Benjamin glanced at Thalia before turning their attention to Natasha.

Denise's question stunned Thalia. Feeling a pang of guilt, she looked away and said, "Because she's pretty. We all like to admire pretty faces, right?"

Everyone chuckled at that remark.

Denise nodded in agreement. “I can't agree with you more, Thalia."

"Right? Who doesn't like to look at pretty girls?" Thalia concurred.

Anthony could not help but say, "Since you can now joke around, I suppose you're almost recovered?"

At the mention of that topic, Thalia tried to sit up in bed. "It wasn't anything serious, to begin with. Everyone is just making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Making a mountain out of a molehill, huh? Did you know you were covered in blood when they brought you back? Did you know Denise was so terrified that she couldn't stop crying?" Anthony asked.

A corner of Thalia's lips quirked upward. "That's why we're besties," she said, gazing at Denise.

It was then Denise started mocking the boys. "As if I was the only one crying. Didn't you guys secretly wipe tears off your faces?"

Thalia followed Denise's line of sight and looked at Anthony and Benjamin. "Really? You cried?"

These boys actually cried for me?

"No, I didn't!" Anthony denied. No one could force him to admit it.

Benjamin, too, came up with an excuse. "Dust got in my eyes, so..."

His answer rendered Thalia speechless.

Anthony instantly shot daggers at his brother. Hey, you've just indirectly admitted you cried!

Upon noticing his deathly glare, Benjamin explained further, "Dust got into my eyes because of the helicopter's rotor downwash when it landed..."

That explanation was a little far-fetched but not unreasonable.

Thalia looked at the boys and burst into laughter. "Come on! Just admit that you two cried! Don't worry; I won't make fun of you!"

Still, she could not hold back her curiosity. "Can you re-enact how the dust got into your eyes?" Once again, she split her sides laughing.

A pucker formed between Anthony's and Benjamin's brows. Didn't she say she wouldn't make fun of us?
