Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Fall In Love

From the angle of the photo taken, they did seem intimate.

Kenneth wanted to pull Thea to a stand, but her body kept slumping against his. She couldn’t stand straight no matter how much he supported her.

“Kenneth, I’m sorry…” Her whole body went limped against his.

“Thea? Thea!” Kenneth tried to wake her up, but she didn’t respond. Without a choice, he picked her up and set her in the passenger seat of his car.

With her settled in, he rounded the car and got in the driver’s seat. With the click of his belt, he pulled away from the venue.

As he drove to Thea’s condominium, he didn’t notice the paparazzi following him.

Kenneth placed Thea’s finger against the condominium door’s sensor. After a couple of beeps and a buzz, he opened the door and headed straight to her bedroom. Since he had been there before, he knew his way around.

He was about to leave after depositing Thea on the bed.

“No! No! Get off me! Let go of me!” Thea suddenly shouted.

Kenneth looked over his shoulder and saw Thea flailing her arms as though she was having a nightmare.

He rushed back to her side and held onto her hand. “Thea? Thea, you’re okay. You’re safe now. We’re at your condominium.”

After a few bouts of comforting words, Thea finally opened her eyes. She looked into Kenneth’s eyes with tears swimming in hers. “Kenneth…” her voice cracked as she wrapped her arms around him.

“I’m scared! I’m so scared!” she sobbed as her grip tightened around Kenneth.

Patting her back gently, Kenneth comforted her. “You’re okay now, Thea. You’re safe.”

They remained in the position for a while. Kenneth wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but he gently unwrapped her arms from his neck when her weeping stopped.

“Thea, you should get some rest for the rest of the night. You don’t have to go to the office tomorrow,” Kenneth said.

Thea stayed silent and continued staring at him with a pleading look.

“It’s getting late, and I have to go now,” he explained as he got to his feet.

However, Thea grabbed onto his arm and put on a fearful expression. “Kenneth, can you stay here with me? I’m scared. Or at least stay here until I fall asleep, please? I don’t think I can sleep here alone tonight,” she pleaded.

Kenneth gave in and nodded. “Okay. I’ll stay here with you. I’ll be in the living room.”

Thea nodded, plastering a grateful smile on her face.

“Get some rest.” He got up and went to the living room after reassuring her.

Thea knew Kenneth was a man of his words. He would stay since he promised her.

When the door clicked shut, the fearful look was gone from her face. The pleading gaze had faded from her eyes and was replaced with a look of determination.

Kenneth, I’ll make you stay by my side using whatever means I can.

Thea finally came out of her room before dawn.

After washing up, she changed into a comfy silk pajama that was soft to the touch.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was stretched out on her couch in the living room with his eyes closed.

Thinking he was still asleep, she retrieved a blanket and walked over to him with light steps, wanting to cover him with it.

Right when her hands touched him, Kenneth’s eyes snapped open instantly.

“Did I wake you?” Thea asked.

It was such a close distance; Kenneth’s heart skipped a beat when he caught a waft of her sweet scent.

“Mm-hmm,” he grunted and quickly averted his gaze.

“I’m sorry for waking you up. I was worried you would be cold, so I wanted to give you a blanket,” Thea explained.

Kenneth’s brows furrowed as he looked at the news on the internet and listened to the report from his assistant.

“Mr. Hamilton, were you really with Ms. Jarman yesterday?”

“Are you calling me for gossip?” Kenneth asked instead of answering.

Kenneth didn’t take the rumor seriously because he had numerous scandals with Thea over the years. Another addition to the growing pile wouldn’t affect him either way.

“No, sir. I’m calling to inform you about today’s meeting schedule. I’ve already sent it to your phone.”

Kenneth glanced at his phone before hanging up the call.

Looking at the news, something indescribable glinted across his eyes.

Anthony had been staring dazedly at his phone since the early morning.

Benjamin came up and sat beside him. “What are you staring so intently at so early in the morning?”

Anthony merely turned the phone’s screen to him in response.

Benjamin was rendered speechless after reading the news. After a long silence, he asked, “He’s quite rich, isn’t he?”

Anthony shot him a disdained look. “I believe this woman is his fiancée.”

“So he’s about to get married?” Benjamin inquired.

“Just look at his scandals all these years.”

Benjamin took the phone and typed a simple query into the search engine. A long list of scandals popped up as the search result. Kenneth was a prominent figure with a handsome face. He was more good-looking than celebrities. Despite his lack of appearance in public, the masses would always pay attention to his every movement.

After going through all of them, the children noticed that although Kenneth did have numerous scandals affiliated with him in the past, Thea was the only one closely associated to him in the recent years.

“It looks like this woman is quite important to him. I don’t see any other scandals of him other than with her. If he’s really our daddy, does that mean we’re about to have a step-mom soon?” Benjamin questioned.
