Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 All Of Them Are So Shrewd

Terence glanced at her. “Have you ever hated me, Nat? If it hadn’t been for the betrothal to the Hamilton family, you wouldn’t have…”

“I married him willingly! It was my choice to divorce him too. Grandpa, you’ve never forced me to do anything,” assured Natasha.

Terence still felt guilty.

“Nat…”

“It’s okay, Grandpa. Everything’s in the past. You don’t have to feel guilty for me. Furthermore, regardless of who we marry, we’d never know if we will stay together with that person forever. Isn’t it great that God has given me three adorable kids?” asked Natasha.

She knew that she was consoling herself too, but she needed to move on with life. Terence nodded. “You’re right. No matter what, the kids belong to the Watson family too. I’ll make sure that I can raise all of you no matter what it takes!”

Natasha walked over and held his arm. She rested her head on his shoulder. “Grandpa, you don’t have to do that. I’ve earned some money while I was abroad, so that should suffice. You should move out of your old house and stay with us.”

Terence turned his head around and glanced at her.

“The money’s definitely legal! It’s legitimate!” Natasha quickly assured him.

Only then did Terence heave a sigh of relief. “Don’t blame me, Nat. I can’t possibly experience what I’ve gone through in the past again.”

“Don’t worry. I always listen to you. I’m living well, working hard, and keeping you company.”

He laughed. “I’ve never seen you acting coy with me before. You’ve learned how to do that now, huh?”

“Denise said that women who know how to do that have the best lives.”

On Monday, Terence had just woken up and was about to make breakfast when he realized that the three kids were already dressed up.

Denise ran to Natasha’s room and took out her clothes. “Nat, wear this battle suit! Most of the people in the Programming Department are guys. Since they like cute and sexy styles, they won’t put you in a tough spot. Good luck today!”

Natasha threw a pillow at her, who dodged it agilely. She continued, “Let’s talk again at night! I’ll go now!”

Natasha pulled the blanket over her face and continued sleeping.

When Denise walked out, she said, “Gramps, Nat will only wake up when her alarm rings. We can leave immediately after eating breakfast.”

Gazing at the three obedient kids, Terence’s heart melted.

After breakfast, he took the kids to school. On the way there, he could not help but ask, “Denise, if your names are given according to alphabetical order, why does yours start with D instead of C? You’re the third child, aren’t you?”

Benjamin burst out laughing. “Mommy doesn’t like the letter C! She gave that name to a dog we raised in Lightspring, so…”

“Keep talking and I’ll get mad, Ben!” yelled Denise.

“All right, I’ll shut up.” Benjamin kept quiet, knowing that she would give him a tough time if he made her angry.

Terence immediately understood what happened and laughed alongside them.

“Gramps, does Mommy disliking the number three have anything to do with Daddy?” asked Anthony all of a sudden.

Stunned, Terence glanced at Anthony, who looked just like Kenneth, through the rearview mirror. Although this kid looks so quiet, he’s extremely thoughtful and observant.

When Denise and Benjamin heard that, they fell silent and stared at Terence.

Although Terence did not want to lie to the kids, he did not know how to answer the question. “I don’t really know. If you want to find out the answer, you have to ask your mom.”

“Gramps, you probably know who our Daddy is, right?” asked Benjamin.
