Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338

“All right. Jokes aside, there's something important I need to tell you...” Anthony spoke with a hushed voice while looking at Thalia.

Thalia turned around and said smugly, “I don't want to hear it.”

Anthony continued, “But it's something really important.”

Thalia looked at her from the corner of her eyes. “I'm not in a good mood to hear anything!”

Anthony went deep in thought for a moment before smiling at her. “Thalia, you're the most magnanimous among all the pretty women I've seen. You're also someone who looks at the big picture, and so I believe you wouldn't hold a grudge against me, right?”

Thalia arched her brows and looked up at him with a scowl. “Between me and Nat, who's the prettier? Who's more magnanimous? Who is more capable of looking at the bigger picture?”

Anthony was rendered speechless. “Is this comparison necessary?”

Thalia answered, “Of course!”

“You want to hear the truth?”

Words caught in Thalia's throat after she heard that question.

Based on Anthony's response, she knew what his answer would be. I guess he wouldn't go against his will to say nice things to coax me. After all, Nat is everything to him.

Thalia narrowed her eyes and responded with a faint grin. “Oh, forget it. You don't have to say anything anymore.”

“You're not mad at me anymore, right?” Anthony asked.

Thalia took in a deep breath. “Who says so?”

“You're the second prettiest woman I've ever seen! I swear!”

“Really?” Thalia asked.

Anthony nodded repeatedly. “Yes!”

“You mean what you said?”

“Of course! That's exactly what I have in my mind! You rank the second!”

Thalia was pleased to hear that. “Fine. So what do you want to tell me?”

Anthony glanced at the surroundings and whispered, “You stay here for the night. I'll tell you in the evening when I have a chance.”

Thalia knew something was amiss upon seeing that suspicious look on his face. She nodded and said, “All right.”

Meanwhile, all the guests at the banquet had a good time, and many of them had a few drinks.

When Liam was about to take another sip of wine, Kenneth stopped him. “You've drunk a lot tonight, Grandpa.”

Liam instantly knitted his brows upon hearing that. “What do you mean by I've drunk a lot? I've only had two glasses of wine!”

When Liam insisted on taking another sip, Kenneth covered the wineglass with his palm. “You've reached your limit, Grandpa. In fact, the doctor said you shouldn't drink at all.”

“Hey—”

Natasha came over to defuse the tension. “You must take care of your health, Old Mr. Hamilton.”

Upon hearing that, Liam responded, “All right. I'll listen to you, Nat!”

Natasha turned to Terence and said, “You should not drink too much as well, Grandpa.”

“My body is fine. I'm all right.”

Natasha glared at him without uttering a word.

Terence had no choice but to give in. “All right! All right! I won't drink much!”

He then put down his wineglass.

After a short pause, Terence looked at Liam. “It's time to take your medicine, isn't it?”

“Oh?” Liam looked over and met his eyes. He then nodded. “Oh, yes. I should take my medicine now!”

“Let's go! I'll come with you!”

“Wow. I'm surprised you remembered. Well then, I'll give you a chance to keep me company!” Liam then stood up and was ready to leave. Seeing that, Terence quickly followed right behind.

Everyone could tell they were putting up an act.

Meanwhile, Kenneth waved at Dan, gesturing for Dan to come over.

Kenneth muttered a few words in Dan's ear. Dan then nodded and replied, “Got it. I'll take care of it.” He then caught up with Liam and Terence.

Benjamin could not help but remark, “We don't always get to see Gramps and Great-grandpa getting along well, do we? What a rare sight.”

“But don't you think their acting seems awkward?” Denise said.

Anthony responded, “It doesn't matter. What matters the most is we get to leave now!”

Benjamin, Denise, and Anthony turned their attention to Natasha and Kenneth as if they were waiting for their command.

Kenneth looked at them and grinned. “All right. It's getting late. Let's go home and take a rest!”

Upon hearing that, everyone started leaving.

“Thalia, let's go for a walk!” Denise suggested.

After taking a glance at Natasha, Thalia nodded. “Sure!”

The triplets then took Thalia away.

The corners of Natasha's lips quirked up as she watched them leave.

There were now only two people sitting at the dining table.

Kenneth gazed into Natasha's eyes. “How do you feel? Are you tired?”

Natasha nodded. “Yeah. A little.”

“Let's go then. I'll walk you back to your room, and you should rest.” Kenneth then stood up and picked up his coat.

Natasha looked at the man and thought for a moment before leaving with him.

When they arrived at the room, Natasha turned around and looked at him. “Goodnight.”

“Aren't you going to invite me in?”

Natasha sized him up but did not answer his question.

Kenneth smiled. “Don't look at me like this. I won't be able to do anything to you here.”

“Are you also staying here tonight?” Natasha asked.

“Yes!” Kenneth nodded.

“I thought you didn't plan on staying here?”

“I've drunk a lot of wine tonight. I believe your grandpa and mine won't be cruel enough to see me leave in an intoxicated state,” Kenneth mumbled.

Natasha knew this was going to happen.

She smiled and entered the room. “I'm going to take a shower now!” She then shut the door without hesitation.

Kenneth stood outside and stared blankly at the door.

The corners of his lips quirked up. He raised his wrist to check his watch. There's still time.

He instantly put on a serious look and left the room.

As he was walking, he made a call. “I'm going out now!”

Kenneth walked out and went straight into the black car that had waited for him outside the entrance.

The man in the driver's seat looked at him and greeted, “Mr. Hamilton.”

“Let's go. I must get back here before midnight.”

The man immediately started the car's engine and drove off.

At the manor, Natasha felt cool and refreshed after taking a bath.

Natasha had not enjoyed the drinking session that night, as something had been bothering her.

After changing into something casual, she went out to get a drink.

As she was on her way out, she bumped into Dan.

“Ms. Watson, why aren't you sleeping yet? It's late now.”

“Could you get me a bottle of wine, Dan?”

“You want to have a drink?”

Natasha nodded.

Dan thought about it before replying, “I'll get someone to find a bottle of wine in the cellar and send it to your room. How about that?”

Natasha's lips curled into a smile. “That won't be necessary. Could you please bring the wine to the pavilion over there? I'll wait there.” She pointed at the pavilion in front of her.

Dan nodded. “All right. Please give me a minute. I'll see to it right now!”

“Oh, please bring me an extra wineglass too.”

Dan froze for a moment before nodding in acknowledgment. “Sure, Ms. Watson.”

Natasha then walked to the pavilion and took a seat.

Soon, someone brought a bottle of wine over.

The moon was pretty that night, surrounded by an ethereal glow.

Natasha sat in the pavilion and poured herself a glass of wine. Suddenly, Thalia came up to her.

“Want a drink?” Natasha knew who was coming in her direction without lifting her head.

Thalia went over and sat down after glancing at her.

Natasha did not say much. She just poured Thalia a glass of wine.

Thalia somehow felt Natasha was aware of many things even though the latter always looked composed and steady.

Thalia knew she was right when she saw the two wineglasses Natasha had prepared in advance.

“Were you waiting for me?” Thalia asked right away.
