Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Too Good

When Terence went to the balcony to make a call, Natasha could guess who he was calling.

That was why she was direct when Terence was leaving. She said, “I made the reservation for this weekend.”

Terence shot a look at the triplets. “What about them?”

Natasha turned her attention to the kids and said, “I need to go on a trip with Gramps this weekend—”

Before she could finish speaking, Anthony replied, “Don’t worry, Nat. We can take care of ourselves.”

Denise nodded when she heard that. “Just remember to get us some snacks on your way back.”

Natasha turned her attention back to her grandfather and smiled. That smile was practically screaming, “See? You don’t need to worry at all.”

Terence stared at the kids and was reasonably convinced that the kids could do anything.

Moments later, Terence nodded. “Okay, then.”

Thea rarely checked the office group chat.

She was rather bored that day and noticed there was quite a bit going on in the group chat, so she checked things out. That was when she saw someone talking about how Liam had dropped by the office.

She swiped up, and the more she read, the angrier she got.

Thea called her assistant right away. “Did someone by the name of Natasha Watson drop by the office today?”

“Natasha? Who are you talking about?” asked the assistant.

Thea took a deep breath and asked, “Did someone from Prosper Technologies drop by the office today?”

“Oh, yes. Someone was here. Old Mr. Hamilton came too. I don’t know why, but he had a great time talking to that lady. He even walked with her when she left,” answered the assistant.

“Is that for real?”

“Yes. Many saw them chatting together.”

“Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

The assistant sounded a little troubled when she replied, “Mr. Hamilton said you are sick, so I didn’t think it was right to disturb you.”

Thea was so angry that she hung up right away.

What is so great about Natasha? It’s bad enough that she has Kenneth’s heart wrapped around her fingers, but Old Mr. Hamilton, who has never cared about me, actually likes her.

Those thoughts made it impossible for Thea to stay home. She freshened up right away and changed her clothes to go to work.

At the office, Thea knocked on the door before entering.

When Kenneth saw her there, he raised a brow and asked, “Why aren’t you resting at home? Why did you come back to work so early?”

“It’s so boring at home. I think it’s better to work and fill up my time here,” replied Thea as she made her way to him and sat in front of the man.

Kenneth was busy working on the documents he had with him, and the look on his face when he was focused was mesmerizing.

Thea thought about it for a moment before she said, “So I heard that Old Mr. Hamilton dropped by the company yesterday. Is that true?”

“Mm,” replied Kenneth as he nodded without even looking up.

“Was something wrong?” asked Thea.

“No, nothing at all. It was just a routine check,” answered Kenneth absent-mindedly.

“I also heard that Natasha was here and that Old Mr. Hamilton had a nice time chatting with her.”

Hearing Natasha’s name prompted Kenneth to stop working and shift his gaze to Thea. He nodded and replied, “Yes.”

Thea felt disheartened instantly. The rumor was already spreading like wildfire, but she still prayed to hear from Kenneth’s mouth that it wasn’t true.

“Who would’ve thought that someone as picky as Old Mr. Hamilton would enjoy talking to Natasha so much?” commented Thea. She had a sweet smile on her face the entire time, but the sorrow had already taken root in her heart.

“Natasha’s grandfather is Grandpa’s close friend, so it’s not weird that they chat well,” replied Kenneth nonchalantly.

Thea grinned when she heard that. “I see. No wonder they are close. Does that mean that you and Natasha have known each other for a long time?”

“Mm,” replied Kenneth as he nodded absentmindedly again.
