Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308

After sending the three children back to the Hamilton residence, Kenneth went upstairs to take a quick bath and get a change of clothes.

When he came downstairs and was about to leave, Liam was there waiting for him.

“Grandpa, I'm going out now,” Kenneth remarked casually before leaving without even turning back.

“Wait!” Liam called out to him.

As Kenneth stopped in his tracks and turned around, Liam sauntered up to him with the help of his walking stick.

“Is there anything else, Grandpa?” Kenneth asked.

Leaning closer, Liam lowered his voice and asked in a mysterious tone, “Did you spend the night at Nat's place yesterday?”

The stunned Kenneth swept his gaze toward the three children in the living room. Obviously, this is their doing.

Accepting that it was pointless to deny, Kenneth nodded in resignation. “Yes.”

A delighted Liam continued to ask, “Did you sleep in the same room as she did?”

Cognizant of what Liam had in mind, Kenneth nodded again. “Yes.”

“In that case, is the deed done?” Liam sniggered.

After giving it some thought, Kenneth explained. “Grandpa, both of us had a lot to drink last night—”

“Stop. I don't need the details,” Liam cut him off at once.

Kenneth was at a loss of words.

“Since Nat has finally accepted you, you have to work doubly hard to marry her. Given that both of you didn't even hold a wedding the last time you got married, you have to organize a grand one for her this time.”

A wedding?

Kenneth's eyes narrowed, as he had previously not given the matter much thought.

Now that Liam had brought it up, he was filled with a sudden sense of anticipation for it.

At that moment, the image of Natasha in a wedding dress flashed across his mind.

I'm sure she'll amaze everyone with her beauty when she puts on a wedding dress.

The thought itself brought a subconscious smile onto Kenneth's face.

Just when he was spacing out, Liam interrupted his thoughts, “Did you hear what I just said?”

Kenneth, upon regaining his senses, looked at Liam with a smile. “I understand.”

At the sight of Kenneth's smile, Liam, too, broke into a grin. “Nevertheless, don't get ahead of yourself. Let me warn you. If you make another mistake and disappoint Nat again, even I will sever my ties with you, let alone the three children. There's no question your family will turn its back on you!”

Faced with Liam's threats, Kenneth responded, “Grandpa, you have already repeated this countless times!”

“So what? Are you sick of hearing it already?”

“No, I just want to let you know that I, better than anyone else, know what the consequences are. Therefore, whatever you're worried about will not come to pass.”

“It had better be that way!”

“If there's nothing else, I'm heading out now.”

“Wait!” Liam stopped him again.

When Kenneth turned around, Liam pondered a moment before inquiring, “I saw the news today. Were you the one who did it?”

Kenneth shook his head. “It was Nat.”

Liam was briefly stunned before bursting out in laughter. “I expect no less from a member of the Hamilton family. Given how bold she is, I can rest assured that I'm leaving the Hamilton family in good hands.”

His words elicited a smile from Kenneth.

At that moment, Liam looked at Kenneth. “Nat did it so that you do not have to make the difficult choice. Nevertheless, we have to be considerate of her feelings and not allow her noble act to go unnoticed.”

“I understand, Grandpa.”

“I know that you have known Thea for a long time. If you can't bring yourself to do it—”

“Grandpa!” Kenneth interrupted and stared at him with a darkened gaze. “Grandpa, I will deal with it myself.”

When he saw the conviction in Kenneth's eyes, Liam nodded. “All right.”

“If there's nothing else, I'm heading out now.”

Liam nodded.

With that, Kenneth got to his feet and left.

He first went to his office to deal with some matters.

When afternoon came, Fabian walked in right after Kenneth had finished a meeting.

“Mr. Hamilton, I found something!”

Kenneth looked at him.

“They were taken to the hospital. After receiving emergency treatment, both of their lives were no longer in danger,” Fabian explained.

Kenneth's eyes narrowed upon hearing the report.

“Also, I learned that both of them denied everything and claimed they didn't know anything when the police tried to take a statement from them,” Fabian continued.

Fabian's words caused a cold glint to flash in Kenneth's eyes as a smirk broke out on his face. “Of course they're feigning ignorance. As long as they mention Nat or confess to their crimes, there would be no escape for them.”

Nodding in acknowledgment, Fabian stared at Kenneth. “In that case, what are your plans?”

An insidious look flashed across Kenneth's eyes. “It's been a long time since I've seen that old friend of mine. It's time I pay her a visit!”

Fabian added, “I'll go with you.”

Kenneth threw him a glance to scrutinize him. “Has your arm recovered?”

“Mmm-hmm. It won't get in my way,” Fabian replied with a grin.

Kenneth rolled his eyes in response.

It was nothing but a scrape, but he just had to put on an act and hang his arm like that. One might think that he has a fracture.

Nevertheless, Kenneth was in no mood to pay him any attention. Getting to his feet, he grabbed his jacket and headed out with Fabian following closely behind.

When they arrived at the car, Kenneth asked, “Should I be driving you?”

Fabian put his arm down the moment he heard the question. “I wouldn't dare allow it. I'll drive.” Just as he spoke, Fabian opened the car door attentively for Kenneth.

Kenneth threw him a glance before bending down to get in.

After closing the door, Fabian circled to the other side, took his seat, and drove off.

“Mr. Hamilton, has Ms. Denise recovered?” Fabian asked while driving.

“Mmm-hmm. She's fine now,” Kenneth answered.

“That's good. I heard that children can easily get traumatized by such events. But from the looks of it, Ms. Denise seems fine,” Fabian commented.

Suddenly, something occurred to Kenneth, causing him to look up at Fabian.

“Fabian.”

“Hmm?”

“What were you and Nat talking about at the door the other time?” Kenneth asked.

Fabian was stunned when the matter was brought up. He glanced at Kenneth through the rearview mirror. “Nothing. Nothing important at all.”

“Really?”

Fabian could tell from Kenneth's response that the latter already knew.

“D-Do you already know?” Fabian asked meekly.

Kenneth sneered, “You seem to have found a powerful patron, to the extent I can't do anything to you.”

A sheepish grin descended upon Fabian's face. “Mr. Hamilton, I did it out of your best interest. Or else, how would Ms. Watson know what you have done for her if you don't tell her anything? Without knowing, how can she then be grateful to you? Therefore, by letting her know through me, it will look as if you have been quietly making sacrifices for her all this while, which will touch her even more!”

“Are you saying that I should thank you instead?”

“That's not necessary. It's part of my job after all,” Fabian replied with a smile.

Kenneth rolled his eyes at Fabian again before shifting his attention to his phone.

Fabian breathed a sigh of relief when Kenneth didn't say anything further. Luckily, I managed to think on my feet. Otherwise, my year-end bonus would no longer be secured.
