Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 1068

Thalia furrowed her brow. “I just talked about this with Natasha.”

“Natasha?”

“Yes, the mother of the three kids,” Thalia explained.

“You're close to her?” Kyle asked suddenly, his memory flashing back to their encounter at the airport. Her presence had left a strong impression.

Despite being a mother to multiple children, she didn't emit the typical maternal aura. Instead, her gaze and demeanor were quite in line with theirs.

Thalia didn't know what was going through Kyle's mind, but as an observer, she was well aware that Natasha was the person Kyle had been searching for several years.

If he were to discover Natasha's true identity...

She didn't dare to imagine.

However, she had promised Natasha to keep the secret, so she wouldn't disclose anything. Therefore, the question had to wait for Kyle to uncover the truth on his own.

After taking a moment to think, she responded, “It's fine.”

Kyle couldn't help but crack a smile. “Just 'fine'? Coming from you, that should be quite positive, right?”

Thalia retorted, “Why, do you think that when someone looks good, there must be an ulterior motive?”

“Come on, what am I saying? She's Kenneth's partner; what motive could I possibly have?” Kyle stated, frankly.

“You're right.”

“I can't help but notice a sense of familiarity in her gaze, and don't you feel she's not the least bit intimidated by individuals like us?” Kyle inquired.

Not only was she unafraid, but it appeared as if she already knew everything about them when interacting with them.

Thalia held her phone and, as she listened to Kyle's speculations, softly commented, “That might suggest she's a well-traveled individual.”

“What does she do for a living?” Kyle suddenly inquired.

“Um, well...” Thalia hesitated for a moment, her thoughts racing. “I don't have a complete picture. I know she used to work as an employee at a company, but I haven't delved into the specifics.”

“An employee? And Kenneth fell for her?” Kyle was intrigued.

Thalia countered, “What, employees can't be attractive? Do you really think someone's job should be the determining factor in choosing a partner?”

“I certainly don't, but someone like Kenneth, coming from an aristocratic background, often takes social compatibility into account, right? How could he be drawn to her?”

Thalia found the tone of “choosing” in his words quite irksome as if women were inherently meant to be chosen.

She furrowed her brow and said, “If he didn't mind her free-spirited nature, that's what matters. Plus, she's capable and self-sufficient, so why should family background be a factor?”

“Why do I get the feeling that your words are more of a defense than a critique?” Kyle asked.

“Who else does he have, and what's wrong with being attracted to beauty?” Thalia countered, her words serving as both an implicit and explicit defense of Natasha.

“Why are you so invested in this?” Kyle asked.

“I'm not overly invested,” Thalia replied.

“Are you sure about that?” Kyle inquired, recalling how she had been willing to protect that woman at the scene, a surprising display of solidarity considering Thalia's strong self-preservation instinct.

The entire situation was thought-provoking.

“Kyle, don't you think that regardless of her profession, the fact that she can make Kenneth desperately want to be with her suggests she must possess extraordinary qualities. And, as Kenneth's partner, she's likely had ample exposure to the world, making her unafraid of people like us,” Thalia reasoned, then hastily added, “And she's the mother of children like Anthony, Benjamin, and Denise. How could she be ordinary?” She was worried that Kyle might become suspicious and rushed to provide an explanation.

Indeed, her argument left little room for criticism.
