Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Shallow

Natasha’s phone rang while she was eating away.

She checked the screen and realized that the call was from Denise, so she got up and excused herself to go to the restroom.

In the corridor…

Natasha answered the call and sweetly asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nat, my brothers are taking advantage of you not being here and are bullying me,” complained Denise.

“Are you sure it’s not the other way around?”

“Nat, you don’t believe me? My gosh, do you know how terrible things are for me now?”

“So tell me. How terrible are things for you?”

“Uhm…. very?”

Natasha almost couldn’t stop herself from laughing aloud. Just then, she heard Benjamin’s voice from the other end of the line. “Oh, come on. Nat is enjoying a meal with others, so stop complaining, and I’ll go easy on you.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, in that case, I’m fine now, Nat,” replied Denise, who changed her mind right away.

Benjamin grabbed the phone and said, “Have fun, Nat. You don’t need to worry about anything at home because I will take care of everything.”

“Okay, that’s great.”

“Then do you love me?”

“Yes, I love you.”

“Then say I am your favorite baby,” requested Benjamin. The second he finished speaking, Natasha heard someone shouting from the other end of the line. It was Anthony. He said, “Ugh, stop being disgusting.”

“You’re just jealous,” replied Benjamin.

Natasha felt much more at ease to hear the kids causing a racket like that.

“Okay now. I will be back soon. Be good and wait for me at home, okay?” said Natasha, who hung up the phone after that.

She was going to go to the restroom, but when she shifted her gaze up, she saw Kenneth standing there.

He stood up straight, but he didn’t seem to be in good shape.

Natasha didn’t believe that their meeting that day was just a coincidence, but she pretended to be blind to the situation anyway. In fact, she walked past him to go to the restroom.

“Was that your boyfriend?” asked Kenneth all of a sudden.

Natasha was taken aback. Ah, so that phone call caused a misunderstanding? I guess that’s better than letting him know about the kids, though.

Natasha grinned. “He’s even more important to me than any mere boyfriend.”

Kenneth’s gaze dimmed. “Is that the same guy from the cafe?”

The cafe? A guy?

An image popped up in Natasha’s mind. Ah, so he saw us having a meal together the other day, huh?

Natasha grinned. She kept her head up and replied, “That’s a personal question, and I don’t need to answer that.”

She was about to walk away when Kenneth suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her toward the wall. His handsome face zoomed in right in front of her.

Natasha frowned as she looked right into Kenneth’s eyes, which were burning with rage. “Mr. Hamilton, are you into bullying others?” asked Natasha.

Kenneth was speechless.

“Or is there something about this position that you really like?”
