Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Feeling Annoyed

“How am I being sarcastic?” Kenneth questioned.

He merely felt annoyed by her reaction.

However, when Natasha was about to say something, her phone rang again.

The call was again, from “Big Darling”.

Almost immediately, Natasha kept her phone beneath her body like she was trying to hide something. She must not pick up the call in Kenneth’s presence.

This time, a look of thunder clouded Kenneth’s face.

“Do you need me to explain the situation on your behalf?” Kenneth asked with a brooding expression.

“No, there’s no need for that.” Natasha shook her head as she continued to press on her phone with her body weight, unable to relax.

“I’m your ex-husband so it’s not strange for me to show up in your ward,” he explained.

“Forget it.” Natasha shook her head with a smile.

Upon her reaction, Kenneth had a complicated expression on his face.

Natasha’s phone rang once again as if the caller was after her life. However, Natasha still had no intention of picking up the call.

Kenneth stared at her for a long time before leaving the ward.

When the door closed, Natasha finally let out a sigh of relief.

She immediately took out her phone and answered the call.

“Nat, what happened to you?” Anthony asked over the line.

“Nothing. Nothing happened to me,” Natasha explained as she kept her eyes on the door.

“You stayed out the whole night and did not respond to any messages and calls from us. We were worried sick,” said Anthony.

“I’m sorry for worrying you. I’ll be back in a while. Let’s talk about this tonight, all right?”

“Are you really okay?”

“Yes, I am. Aren’t I talking to you over the phone right now? Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Natasha reassured.

“All right then,” George heaved a sigh of relief. “Don’t come back too late.”

“Got it.”

“Nat, I love you.” Denise’s cute voice sounded from the other end of the line.

Upon hearing Denise’s gentle voice, Natasha could feel warmth bloom in her chest. She then smiled and gently replied, “I love you too.”

Meanwhile, Kenneth was smoking on the other side of the door.

He could hear Natasha’s talking on the phone loud and clear.

He felt inexplicably annoyed and unhappy when he heard her saying “I love you” to the other person on the line.

He then put out his cigarette and returned to the ward.

The moment Natasha saw him enter the ward, she acted as if nothing had happened and quickly kept her phone back in her bag, ready to leave.

“Why didn’t you ask him to pick you up?” Kenneth scoffed.

“No, that’s unnecessary. I can go back by myself.”

“It seems like your relationship with him is not as close as I thought,” Kenneth remarked.

He was trying hard to obtain some information about the other man from Natasha to make him feel better about himself.

However, Natasha merely flashed a smile at him and could not be bothered with his remark.

His mood got worse when he saw that smile of hers.

Suddenly, Kenneth’s phone rang.

He took out his phone and checked the caller ID before subconsciously directing his gaze toward Natasha.

When she felt his eyes were on her after checking the caller ID, Natasha immediately guessed who the caller was.

“Go ahead.” Natasha motioned for him to pick up the call. “Don’t worry. I won’t make a single sound.”

Kenneth hesitated for a moment before he replied, “I’m not like you.”

With that, he answered the call. “Hello.”

“Kenneth, my parents had arrived. They wanted to treat you to a meal, so they’re wondering whether you’d be free today?” Thea chirped over the phone.

He furrowed his eyebrows. “I’m busy today, so I can’t make it. How about another day?”

“Um, all right then.”
