Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 I Need A Sugar Mummy

The next day, Natasha bumped into Xavier upon arriving at the company.

Although he seemed to have something to say, Natasha averted her gaze and walked over to her desk.

Xavier furrowed his eyebrows, and his gaze was conflicted when staring at her.

At that moment, Thomas and Ross rushed over to Natasha and stared at her greedily, as if she was their prey.

“If you have something to say, say it.” Natasha did not even bother lifting her head.

“Do you have a thing for Xavier?” Ross asked.

Natasha lifted her gaze and glared at him murderously. “What do you think?”

“I think…. he doesn’t seem to be your type.” Ross smiled sheepishly.

“Good that you know.”

Thomas and Ross exchanged glances. Then, the latter tried to pry, “Why did you do that, then? It doesn’t make sense.”

“I have too much money and I have nowhere to spend them, that’s all,” Natasha replied simply.

Thomas answered after a moment’s hesitation, “If that’s the case, are you admitting to it?”

Natasha shot them a glare, and the duo quickly zipped their mouths and walked away.

Then, they walked over to Xavier and talked for a while. After they finished speaking, Xavier’s gaze seemed more conflicted when looking at her.

Natasha could only sigh. Thankfully, the two tattletales didn’t broadcast it to the entire company. Otherwise, there’s no way I can clear my name.

After lunch in the afternoon, Natasha went to the pantry to make some coffee. Then, she walked over to the balcony and got some air.

When it was time to head back, Natasha turned around and almost bumped into Xavier standing behind her.

“What?” Natasha’s tone was filled with displeasure.

“I have something to tell you,” Xavier replied.

Natasha furrowed her eyebrows, knowing he would not give up unless he got an answer. “Go ahead.”

“Did you really pay for the surgery fees?” he asked.

Without hesitating, Natasha nodded. “That’s right.”

Although he already knew the answer, Xavier’s heart could not help but skip a beat after hearing the truth.

“W-Why?” His usual dense expression was now clueless and anxious.

“What do you think?”

“Y-You really-” Xavier hesitated, for her question had caused him to feel awkward.

“Nope,” Natasha cut him off.

When Xavier looked at her, he saw that she was looking at him with sincerity.

“I have no feelings for you,” Natasha emphasized.

“Why did you do that, then?”

Natasha took a deep breath. “Firstly, it was indeed because of me that you couldn’t get your bonus. Although it wasn’t really my fault, I can’t just ignore what happened either. Next, I understand how it feels like to be a mother. Although you’re her brother, I can tell you cared for her just like a mother would. Besides, there was nothing more important than human life.”

After hearing that, Xavier took a long time to ponder before answering, “Is it really because of all these reasons?”

“There’s another reason, but you might not believe me.”
