Alexia stayed quiet, seemingly troubled by something.
Meanwhile, Denise leaned against Kenneth's chest and studied her.
She looks unhappy. That means my guess was correct.
At that thought, Denise raised her head. “Daddy.”
“What's up?” Kenneth looked down at her and asked.
With a pout, Denise complained, “So what you have with Mommy is true love, while I'm just an accident?”
Everyone turned their attention to her at that instant.
“What's wrong, my darling? Why would you say that?” Kenneth inquired.
“You didn't introduce me,” Denise muttered dejectedly.
Kenneth couldn't help but laugh at her remark while Natasha chuckled helplessly.
“Right. My dearest Denise is also here.” As Kenneth spoke, he stood up while carrying the girl and faced the group. “Everyone, let me introduce someone to you. This is my daughter, Denise.”
Denise's expression changed immediately as she chirped, “Hello, my dear friends. I'm Denise.”
“Friends?” Luke and Mike repeated, their brows raised in amusement.
“Of course. You seem to be just a few years older than me, so you're my friends,” Denise said with a sweet smile.
Luke and Mike were delighted to hear that. They were actually only a couple of years younger than Kenneth and Dave, so they were utterly flattered by Denise's words.
On the other hand, Alexia remained expressionless as she listened to the exchange.
Friends? With Denise?
To her, that word just widened the gap between her and Kenneth.
She did not like it.
As she looked at Denise, the latter happened to glance at her. At the sight of the taunting look in the girl's eyes, Alexia froze.
Was that my imagination?
When she looked over again, Denise was already chatting with the men.
“My goodness, you're so adorable. Not only are you pretty, but you're also such a sweet girl! It seems like you take after Natasha!” Mike remarked.
“I got both Daddy's and Mommy's best traits, unlike my two brothers. One of them takes after Daddy, while the other is just like Mommy.”
“Brothers?” Mike exclaimed.
“Yes. I have two big brothers.”
A hint of surprise flashed across Mike's eyes. “And they're both...”
“They're both their biological children.” Denise finished his words for him.
With a bashful smile, Mike clarified, “That's not what I meant. It's just that things seem to have gone faster than normal...”
People might think that Natasha was pregnant with someone else's kid before she got together with Kenneth!
“What are you talking about? My brothers and I were born at the same time.”
“You're triplets?” Luke asked.
Denise nodded. “That's right!”
Luke and Mike widened their eyes in astonishment and turned to Kenneth. “Boss, you're incredible!”
They actually got triplets? That's such a rare occurrence!
One would feel lucky to have twins, let alone triplets.
Moreover, judging from Natasha's figure, she didn't seem like someone who had given birth to three kids.
Meanwhile, Natasha sat at the side quietly.
It felt somehow embarrassing for her to receive compliments about having triplets.
After all, it was not like she had control over that; that was just biology working its magic.
Kenneth, on the other hand, curled his lips up into a smug smile. “I guess so.”
Natasha was rendered speechless.
