Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 The Divorce

“Congratulations, Ms. Watson! You’re pregnant with twins.”

Natasha Watson was stumped. “I’m pregnant? With twins?”

“Yes, you’re the first at our clinic to be confirmed pregnant with twins this week. Congratulations!”

After coming out of the hospital, Natasha clutched the ultrasound image in her hand. To her, the image was a mere incomprehensible blur, and she was still reeling in from the shock.

I’ve only had sex once with Kenneth. How am I pregnant? And with twins, no less?

Before she could snap out of her surprise, her phone rang. She took a look at the message, and a photo caught her eye. It was an image of Kenneth Hamilton with a woman in a bikini on a yacht. Natasha’s eyes burned with fury.

She hailed a taxi and ordered, “Head to Glenport City!”

After half an hour, Natasha arrived at the yacht.

Upon spotting Kenneth and another woman laughing while clinking glasses of champagne, Natasha approached the two, snatched over the glass of champagne, and hurled it at the woman.

“Ah, what are you doing? You crazy woman!” the woman in the bikini let out a startled scream. After taking a look at Natasha, the woman in the bikini finally understood why the latter hurled the glass of champagne at her. She shot a derisive look at Natasha and chided, “What a country bumpkin. Doesn’t she know what kind of place this is?”

“I am the wife of this man sitting opposite you. Need I say more?” Natasha shot a frigid gaze at the woman. She was actually boiling with rage inside. However, Natasha somehow managed to conceal her feelings and appeared rather calm and composed instead.

“You-”

“Even if you want to become his legitimate wife, shouldn’t you at least wait until after I’ve divorced this man? Otherwise, you’re going to be the homewrecker. Or, I could just report you to the police right now.” Natasha took out her phone and shot the woman in the bikini a warning glare.

The woman in the bikini was about to make her debut in the entertainment industry. Hence, she did not wish for her reputation to be tainted because of this. She glanced at Kenneth, and the latter looked impassive.

“I’m going to go get changed!” the woman declared. Then, she turned around to leave.

Natasha walked over and sat opposite Kenneth. Her face was expressionless and cold. “Are you done fooling around?”

“As long as you’re here, I will never be done!” the man replied with a nonchalant smile.

“Do you hate me that much?”

“You’re just a country bumpkin. Do you really expect me to like you?” Kenneth retorted in a condescending tone.

Natasha furrowed her brows. She was never the kind of woman who was good at dressing up. Her plain face looked dejected as she asked, “Then why did you marry me?”

“If it weren’t for your grandfather and my grandfather being close, do you think we’d have the chance to sit opposite each other like this?” Kenneth was sick of restating the obvious.

“So, it’s impossible for you to like me, ever?”

“Don’t mention that. You’re only tarnishing the word.”

A defeated look flashed across Natasha’s porcelain-fair face. She clutched her fist tightly and declared, “Let’s get divorced then!”

Kenneth’s hand that was swirling the champagne glass paused in mid-air as he asked, “Are you willing to?”

“Since you’ll never like me, you’re never going to be loyal to this marriage either. What’s the point of me holding onto this marriage then?”

“You’re quite shrewd this time. But, on Grandpa’s side…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t mention anything. After we’re done with the divorce, you may explain it however you like.”

Kenneth saw her in a different light right then. Natasha was a country bumpkin, all right, and even though she was quite pretty, he thought she was too rigid and lacked liveliness. He did not think she was fun to be around at all.

He actually hoped that they could split on good terms. Hence, Kenneth made her an offer. “I’m going to compensate you-”

“That will not be necessary!” Natasha cut him off right away. “I don’t need more money, not especially from you.”

She’s quite strong-willed even though she’s young, huh? Kenneth did not insist and said, “All right, I’m going to respect your decision.”

The discussion came to an end. Natasha got up to leave. However, she stopped after taking just a few steps and turned around to look at the man. “What if…”
