Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343

When Natasha woke up the next morning, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

She had slept so soundly that she could not even remember how she had returned to her room.

Right at that moment, the door to her room opened slightly. Denise poked her head around the door.

“Come in,” Natasha said lazily when she saw the young girl.

Denise then opened the door and walked in. “Nat, you're awake?” She grinned happily.

Natasha slowly turned to her side and propped her head up with a hand. “Yes,” she said as she glanced at Denise.

Denise walked over to her and smiled. “How much did you drink yesterday, Nat?”

Natasha instantly narrowed her eyes at that. “What about it?”

“Do you still remember how you came home yesterday?” Denise asked, staring at Natasha.

Natasha furrowed her eyebrows. Her mind soon recalled the image of her and Kenneth in the wine cellar.

Her face suddenly turned red.

“You forgot, didn't you?” Denise said with a mischievous grin.

“Did your father send me home?” Natasha looked at her.

Denise nodded. “Yes. He even carried you into the house. How romantic!”

“Romantic?”

“Yeah. I was with Tony and Thalia on the balcony upstairs. We could see from afar that Daddy was carrying you. You two even...” Denise trailed off, but her gaze was implying something.

Natasha looked at her in confusion.

“You two were...” Denise puckered her lips.

Natasha was speechless at her actions.

She really had no recollection of what had happened.

“Nat, it was such a public display of affection. Although there weren't as many people at night, and probably no one saw it, it was the first time I've ever seen you being so unrestrained.”

“I... I drank too much yesterday. I can't remember,” Natasha declared.

“Nat, are you trying to avoid bearing the responsibility? Is that why you came up with an excuse by claiming that you were drunk?” the young girl teased.

“W-What responsibility?” Natasha asked.

“You've already kissed Daddy. Aren't you going to take responsibility for your actions?” Denise asked.

“I... He didn't suffer any loss, did he? Moreover, it may not be me who initiated it.”

Denise nodded, agreeing that what Natasha said made sense. She then looked at her mother. “So, are you saying that you want Daddy to take responsibility for his actions, Nat?”

For a split second, Natasha did not know how to respond to it. “I don't need him to,” she exclaimed.

“Why not?”

“Taking responsibility is a serious matter. We have to give it some serious consideration.”

“Why not?”

“Toking responsibility is o serious motter. We hove to give it some serious considerotion.”

“Wow... Nat, you're getting better at making excuses,” Denise remarked.

“I could say the same thing about how nosy you are,” Natasha retorted.

The young girl smiled sheepishly. “I've noticed how much Daddy yearns for you, so I'm just helping him out.”

“Little brat, how could you side with an outsider?” Natasha lightly poked her daughter on her forehead.

Denise smirked and replied, “If you get together with Daddy, then he will no longer be an outsider to me, and I won't be at fault for siding with him. Am I right?”

“You've certainly given it a lot of thought.”

“You're right. So, Nat, would you consider accepting Daddy?” Denise asked with a hopeful expression.

“Hold your tongue.”

Denise stuck out her tongue at her.

Natasha stretched lazily. “Did you come here just to gossip about this?”

“Not at all. I'm here to ask for your permission, Nat.”

“For what?”

“Thalia wants to bring the three of us out tonight. Can we go?” Denise asked.

That made Natasha pause for a moment. She looked at Denise, who was looking back at her with an innocent expression.

After pondering over it, Natasha nodded. “Yes, you can. Remember to tell your gramps and your great-grandpa about it, lest they get worried.”

“Got it!”

“Remember to take care of your safety no matter what,” Natasha reminded her.

“I know,” Denise replied happily. “I'll go and tell Tony and Ben now.”

“Okay.”

“Love you, Nat!” Denise jumped into Natasha's arms and kissed her on the cheek. She then leaped off the bed and scurried away.

Just as she reached the door, Denise suddenly remembered something and turned back around. “Oh, right. Gramps and Great-grandpa are in the front yard, Nat.”

“All right,” Natasha replied.

Denise grinned at her and left through the door.

Natasha smiled as she looked at Denise's retreating figure. She then got up to wash up.

After taking a quick shower, she got dressed and headed to the front yard.

The front yard was an open space. When Natasha walked out, Terence was busying away in the yard barefoot, and Liam was helping him out by passing things over.

With her long hair cascading down her shoulders, Natasha, who was dressed in a casual outfit, walked over. “Good morning, Grandpa, Old Mr. Hamilton.”

After turning around to face Natasha, Liam greeted smilingly, “Oh, you're awake, Nat.”

Natasha nodded and walked over to them. “What are you doing, Grandpa?”

“He's too hung up on his manor located in the countryside, and so he insists on moving the plants here. He's currently trying to set a place up over there,” Liam replied instead.

Natasha smiled at that. “They're all Grandpa's treasures. He has spent a lot of time and effort on them.”

“Exactly,” Liam agreed.

“Do you need my help?”

“No need. Just have a seat. There's coffee by the side. If you're hungry, you can ask the housekeeper to prepare breakfast for you,” Liam offered.

Natasha nodded and went over to sit down.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold. She basked in the warm sunlight as she sipped her coffee.

As she looked at Terence and Liam busying around, she suddenly felt a sense of bliss and contentment. Natasha realized that happiness could come from the simplest of things.

Right then, Kenneth walked over. “I've been looking for you. I never thought that you'd be here.”

Natasha looked up at the sound of his voice. “What do you want from me?” she asked with narrowed eyes.

Right then, the housekeeper walked up to Natasha and placed a set of breakfast on the table in front of her. “You drank too much yesterday. It'll be bad for your stomach if you don't eat something,” Kenneth said.

Natasha looked at the delicious meal in front of her, and her gaze turned warmer. “You were looking for me just to bring me breakfast?”

“Why else would I be looking for you?” Kenneth asked in return.

For a while, Natasha did not know how to respond to that. It took a moment before she replied, “Thank you.”

Kenneth curled his lips upward.

Terence, who was standing at the side, watched as the two interacted with each other. Eventually, he said nothing and continued to get busy.

On the other hand, Liam had a contented smile on his face, as he realized Kenneth was becoming better and better at winning the girl's favor.

Natasha was eating her breakfast when Kenneth's phone rang. He glanced at it and said, “I have to take a call.”

Natasha nodded in response.

Kenneth got up and walked over to the side. Natasha, who was still eating, lifted her eyes. Her gaze turned grim as she glanced at his figure.

Right then, Liam called out to her, “Nat, are you going to stay here for a few more days?”

At that, Natasha averted her eyes from Kenneth and looked at Liam. “No. I'll have to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow. I'll be going back in a while to pack my things.”

“A business trip?” Terence straightened his back and turned to look at her. “Where are you going?”
