Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 843 Making You Uncomfortable

People tend to be the most sentimental at night.

"You can't afford to get into trouble. You have a family, a loved one, and children. There are many happy days ahead of you. Unlike me, I'm single!" Dave looked at Kenneth.

"So you have already decided to sacrifice yourself, huh?" Kenneth asked, staring at him.

"No. Of course, I want to stay alive and live well. It's just that I'm afraid that something else might happen," Dave immediately explained.

"When did having no family become the standard for sacrifice?" Kenneth asked. There was a trace of gloom on his aloof and pale features. "Dave, you should understand that this is my matter. Even if anything happens, I'll be the one to take care of the consequences, not you."

"Of course I know that, but it's not just about you anymore. It's about DX Group and the lives and safety of many others now," said Dave.

Kenneth, however, was not buying it at all and stared at him coldly. "There's no need for you to put it that way. If you already have such a thought, I can immediately tell you the plan is on hold now. I don't need you, and I certainly don't need DX Group either!"

"Without DX Group and me, how do you help Natasha get the antidote?" Dave questioned.

"Even if I have to break in there alone and kill him, I'll get the antidote back no matter what!" said Kenneth.

Dave looked at Kenneth with his deep eyes.

He knew that the latter was a man of his word.

After hesitating for a while, he looked at Kenneth and said, "What I'm trying to say is 'what if.' Do you understand? What if something beyond our control happens? None of us want to sacrifice ourselves. I still want to live a long life."

Kenneth, however, remained silent.

That was because Dave's words had already touched his nerve.

In fact, he had been worried all the time ever since he got Dave involved in the matter.

Such words of Dave were undoubtedly making him wary.

Seeing Kenneth fall silent, Dave placed one hand on the former's shoulder and said, "All right. I take back my words. Is that okay?"

Kenneth remained silent as he grabbed the wine before him and took a sip.

"What with that look? Do I have to apologize to you?" Dave, raising his eyebrows, asked.

Suddenly, Kenneth turned to look at him. "Dave, if it really doesn't work, let's put the plan on hold."

Dave narrowed his eyes. "Kenneth..."

"I shouldn't have dragged you into this from the beginning."

"So, what, are you trying to sever ties with me now?"

"You know that's not what I meant."

"Then just shut up."

Kenneth was rendered speechless.

Dave took a deep breath and looked at him. "Kenneth, I know you've been upset for many years because of what happened with Zavier, but everything has already been cleared up. It wasn't your fault, and you should move on. Don't push yourself too hard or take everything so seriously. If you keep up like this, how are we supposed to communicate and talk in the future?"

Kenneth was unable to refute his words.

He admitted that Dave was right.

Even though what happened back then was not his fault, he still couldn't accept it.

"Kenneth, relax. Let the past be the past. I understand your thoughts. Don't worry. I will live well and even live longer than you. I want to see you holding your grandchildren with my own eyes. But remember, your grandchildren must also regard me as their grandpa. Even if we're dead, we should be buried together. Let your grandchildren take care of us in our old age and see us off."

Kenneth was at a loss for words.

Dave indeed got some skills.

At least when it came to comforting someone, he always knew how to hit the right spot and make the person helpless.

Kenneth gazed at Dave and did not know how to respond. The corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

"I never said I want to be buried with you!" He turned his head away and continued to drink, ignoring Dave.

Just then, Dave seemed to realize something suddenly. "Oh, that's true. Since you already have someone you love, how could you be willing to be buried with me?"

"I'm glad that you understand," Kenneth said coldly.

Dave continued, "But there's no other way. I've already thought it through. When the time comes, I'll have someone move Zavier's grave here too. We'll both be buried next to you, watching over you, making you uncomfortable."

Kenneth was rendered speechless.

In fact, he could already visualize the scene in his mind.

A hint of helplessness flashed across his eyebrows as he stared at Dave. "Can you say something more auspicious?"

"Isn't this auspicious enough? We are already dead by that time. What else do you want? Are you planning to live an eternal life like an old demon?" Dave asked.

Kenneth glared at him. He couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

Dave looked at him from the side and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"

"I can't afford to get angry. I'm afraid you'll annoy me to death later," Kenneth said faintly.

"It seems you do have some self-awareness, after all," Dave nodded.

Soon, only a little bit of wine left in the bottle.

Kenneth suddenly froze as he stared at his glass which was half full. "It would be nice if Zavier could taste this too."

Dave's eyes sparkled at that. "That's easy!" With that, he poured the remaining wine into another glass, picked it up, and walked out.

Kenneth frowned as he watched Dave leave. "Where are you going?"

"Why don't you come and replace out?" Dave said without turning his head.

After pondering for a moment, Kenneth picked up the glass in his hand and followed Dave out.

Outside the door, Dave looked at the moon in the sky and slowly began to speak. "There used to be a saying in my hometown that when someone dies, the person's soul will fly up to the sky and resides on the moon. Your loved ones can actually see you, but they can only come out to see you when you're asleep at night.

Having said that, he turned to look at Kenneth, who was standing beside him. "When I was a child, I didn't believe it when my parents told me about this. But I'm willing to believe it now. I believe Zavier's soul also resides on the moon, and he can see us."

Kenneth turned his head to look at Dave.

Right then, Dave raised the glass in his hand. "So, he will definitely see this cup of wine and drink it too."

If someone else had told Kenneth about the myth, he would have laughed at the person in disdain.

Now that the myth was mentioned by Dave and was related to Zavier, he, too, was willing to believe it.

He looked at the moon and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Zavier, if you can see and hear this, you must remember that we are buddies for life, forever and ever."

Then, he raised his glass and drained it in one gulp.

Standing on the side, Dave watched Kenneth's noble and elegant features and spoke in a deep voice a long while later. "He will definitely see, hear, and remember."

Kenneth turned to look at him. The corners of his lips curled into a smile.
