Natasha gaped at Liam.
Despite knowing that his remark was meant as a consolation to her, she still felt exceedingly grateful.
“Thank you, Old Mr. Hamilton,” she murmured.
“Why are you treating me like a stranger when we're a family?” Liam countered with a smile.
Natasha's gaze remained on the man, but she said nothing further.
A family?
Upon hearing that, Kenneth arched his brows slightly and turned his gaze to Natasha.
When he noticed that she wasn't denying it, the corners of his mouth lifted imperceptibly.
Just then, Liam walked over to Kenneth and glowered at him. “Brat, you didn't even bother to inform me when such a serious thing happened, huh? If it weren't for Zeke, I'd still be in the dark!”
A smirk tugged at Kenneth's lips. “I just regained consciousness as well. I was going to tell you, but I didn't have the opportunity to do so.”
“If it weren't in consideration of the fact that you did something decent and saved Nat, I would have severed all ties with you!”
“Can you really bring yourself to do that?”
“Why not?”
“If you sever all ties with me, then you can't acknowledge Denise and Benjamin as your great-grandchildren anymore. I'll take them away with me,” Kenneth drawled.
In response, Liam frowned. “Why are you so delusional? I've already told you that those two kids have nothing to do with you!”
“That's not for you to decide.” While saying that, Kenneth looked at Natasha.
A faint smile hovered over his lips, and the look in his eyes was incredibly amorous.
Startled, Liam swung his gaze to Natasha as well.
“What's this, Nat?”
Natasha deliberated for a while before admitting, “Old Mr. Hamilton, they... are indeed the children of the Hamilton family. I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark for so many years.”
Her admission meant that Liam could also be openly affectionate with the children and shower them with love without restraint.
Like Terence, I'm also a recognized greatgrandpa for real! In the future, I no longer have to take my cue from him to be affectionate with the two kids! Gosh, I'm thrilled at the mere thought of it!
However, when he glimpsed Kenneth's smug expression, he lamented in exasperation, “Why did you admit to it so easily?”
Kenneth was instantly rendered speechless.
His smile faded, and a frown marred his countenance. “You seem dissatisfied with this result?”
Liam scowled at him. “I don't want to be threatened by you!”
“I'm afraid I've got to disappoint you, then.” At the thought that Natasha had finally admitted that the two children were his, Kenneth couldn't help the upturn of his lips.
At that exact moment, however, something abruptly occurred to him.
At the last moment yesterday, a child rushed out. Not only did he rain blows and kicks on Gary, but he also almost stabbed him.
His eyes narrowing a fraction, he studied Natasha. “Don't you have something else to tell me?”
Natasha froze for a moment with her eyes pinned on him. “What is it?”
“There was another kid yesterday. What's up with that?” Kenneth's gaze fixated on her.
Upon hearing that, Natasha pursed her lips.
Liam was stunned for a moment, and he alternated his gaze between the two of them. “What's this about another kid? What does that mean? What are you two talking about?”
Kenneth said nothing, merely staring straight at Natasha.
He had glimpsed the child's face, and it was at such a time to boot. Alas, he didn't have time to speak much last night, but that didn't mean that he was entirely ignorant and harbored no suspicions.
Natasha remained silent.
I thought he would miss that, but it ultimately didn't escape his attention.
“Aren't you going to explain about that?” Kenneth questioned with his eyes trained on her.
After pondering for a while, Natasha nodded. “Yeah, it's exactly as you reckon.”
