Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 He Is Getting Engaged

Natasha thought that her welcome ceremony was taking too long. I could have resolved their issue for far less time.

She had heard about their issues on the way there. Hence, she already had a basic understanding on the subject matter and managed to solve the issue in under twenty minutes.

Besides, she did delay some time in resolving the issue. After all, the issue did plague the whole department for quite some time. So, it would not have been nice to show that she could resolve it within a heartbeat. Natasha thought it better to be considerate toward others’ feelings and not stand out too much sometimes.

After resolving the issue, the project manager was astounded. “Ms. Watson, thank you for your hard work today. I’m going to treat everyone to dinner today. Take it as your welcome dinner to join us.”

The men in Programming Department were thrilled and eagerly invited Natasha to join them. After all, it was the manager’s treat, and they would be having dinner with a pretty girl. Nobody wanted to miss out on a chance like that.

However, Natasha rejected their offer. “Thank you for the warm welcome, guys. But I’ve just come back from overseas today, and my grandpa is waiting for me at home. So, I’ve got to go home today. But I could treat you guys to a meal after I’ve officially come into work next Monday.” Then, she flashed a megawatt smile at them all.

Her graceful manner sent the department into another round of frenzy.

The manager did not think it was appropriate to insist and said, “All right then. Let’s take a raincheck. I’m going to ask the driver to send you back home. We could gather when you come into work next Monday.”

Then, Natasha put on her mask and left.

She had rented a spacious condo with five rooms back in the country when she was still overseas, with two bathrooms, two living rooms, and a balcony facing the east with perfect sunrise view. There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window as well, and the layout was perfectly comfortable.

After getting inside, Anthony, Benjamin, and Denise started to unpack their things.

Anthony started with Natasha’s room before he cleaned out his own room. The condo was already cleaned prior to them moving in. Hence, they only needed to unpack their luggage and furnish it with their personal belongings.

Terence was glad to see that the triplets were able to take care of themselves and others. He was initially worried when Natasha decided to raise the children on her own. However, in retrospect, he realized that she had made the right decision, as she had given birth and raised three considerate children.

When the triplets were unpacking their luggage, Terence did not just sit around. He cooked scrumptious dishes that filled the dining table, all of which were Natasha and the children’s favorites.

Natasha was greeted by the warm sight upon arriving home. The table was laden with delicious dishes and her entire family was reunited.

It had not been easy for her when she was overseas. She missed her grandfather terribly, especially his home-cooked dishes. I am finally back.

This time, she would not have to be suffer from being separated from her family anymore.

“Grandpa!” Natasha called out to Terence softly.

Terence turned around, and his eyes turned red as he spotted his granddaughter. “You’re finally back.”

Natasha was overcome by her emotions and dashed forward to give Terence a big hug. “Grandpa, I miss you so much.”

Terence patted her gently on her back and was delighted, “You’re already a mother. Why are you still behaving like a little girl?”

Natasha said nothing as tears rolled down her cheeks. She had been an adult for far too long. Now, she just wanted to be a child.

Terence knew she had been through a lot and said nothing as he patted her back.
