Thea closely scrutinized the mother and daughter duo.
This girl does look a little like Kenneth. But then again, her expression is almost identical to Natasha's. They're equally annoying! No wonder I didn't like this girl when I saw her previously. Now I finally know why.
Thea started making snarky remarks. “Ms. Watson, is she really your daughter?”
Munching on her food, Natasha lazily cocked a brow upon hearing those words. “Is there something wrong with that?”
As though victory was well in her hands, Thea broke into a bright smile. “Then, why are you still clinging onto Kenneth when you already have a daughter?”
At that, Natasha's brows bunched up. But before she acted up, Kenneth suddenly walked up to Thea and grabbed her forcefully. “Thea, don't spout nonsense here!”
The latter furiously threw a glare at him. “I'm not spouting nonsense. That’s a fact. Kenneth, this woman already has someone else's child. Why can't you get over her?”
Fury burned in the man's eyes. “That's my problem, and it has nothing to do with you!”
“Are you crazy, Kenneth?” Thea looked at him in disbelief.
“As I said, that's my business, and it has nothing to do with you,” the man solemnly emphasized the sentence again.
Of course, Thea was unwilling to relent. “I don't know how this woman has bewitched you, but listen, Old Mr. Hamilton will never agree to it either!” She turned to Natasha and continued, “Back then, you aborted Kenneth's child; yet, you have a daughter now. Natasha, you'd better stop pestering him. No matter what tricks you have up your sleeves, Old Mr. Hamilton will never allow you to become a part of the Hamilton family again!”
Just when Kenneth wanted to retort her, Natasha suddenly sneered coldly. “Is that so?
With a smirk, Thea answered with conviction, “Of course.”
Natasha unhurriedly shifted her attention to Kenneth. Her almond-shaped eyes had a tinge of distant vibe in them. “Tell me, Kenneth. Will you agree if I say I want to marry you again?”
The man could not believe his ears.
“I'll only give you one chance. Will you agree to it?” Even though Natasha had popped the same question again in a gentle tone, her gaze seemed immensely aggressive.
As much as the man knew she had acted that way out of defiance, he somehow could not bring himself to turn her down.
Narrowing his dark eyes, he muttered, “I couldn't ask for anything more.”
The moment his words rang out, Thea scrunched her brows together. “Kenneth...”
“But what if Old Mr. Hamilton is against it?” Natasha popped another question.
The man's lips curled into a faint smile.
“You should know well that Grandpa couldn't be happier to learn about that.”
Even so, Thea refused to believe those words. “How is that possible? Old Mr. Hamilton-”
Without waiting for her to finish her words, Natasha interrupted, “Hear that, Thea? The Hamiltons can't wait for me to marry Kenneth. It's just that I don't have the intention to do so.”
With her eyes fixed on Natasha, Thea clenched her fists tightly in anger. “No way. That's absolutely impossible!”
“That's your problem if you don't believe it. However, keep this in mind and don't ever make a fuss in front of me again. I can tolerate you once, but that doesn't mean I'll do it the next time,” Natasha enunciated every word as a warning.
In all honesty, she could not be bothered to pick a fight with Thea. But since the latter kept taunting her in front of her child, she decided to let her get a taste of the true meaning of embarrassment.
Yet, Thea was still unwilling to admit defeat. “I will talk to Old Mr. Hamilton about this matter.”
She thought her words would frighten Natasha, but it turned out that there was not even a hint of worry on the latter's face.
“Please see yourself out.” Natasha bluntly gave an order to leave.
Seething with anger, Thea turned and was about to head out when Natasha spoke again.
“Oh yes, bring Kenneth with you. Don't always assume that others want exactly the same stuff you want. This man has been here for many days and refuses to leave no matter how I chase him away.”
