Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449

Meanwhile, Natasha had just reached the hotel. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Boss said, “It's not safe around here lately. If you need anything, ask someone to get it for you. Try not to go out unnecessarily.”

Natasha turned around and looked at the man coldly. “Why? Are you going to start restricting my freedom now?”

“I'm just concerned about your safety,” Boss replied in a deep voice.

“There's no need for that. I will be responsible for my own safety,” Natasha said softly.

Boss felt a flash of irritation at how the woman was always keeping people at a distance.

He got out of the car and walked toward her. “Recently, there have been a lot of crimes happening. A foreigner like you would be an easy target. I'm doing this for your own good.”

“For my own good?” Natasha let out a chuckle when she heard. “But we are at most acquaintances, not even friends. Why are you so good to me?”

An unfathomable glint appeared in Boss' eyes as he looked at her.

A moment later, the man spoke. “What if I tell you it's because I find you attractive?”

“But there are so many attractive women in the world. Are you really good to me because of such a superficial reason?”

“Because you're not only pretty, you're also very sassy! I like that!”

“Sorry, but I don't! Besides, I don't think I'm sassy at all. I'm just good at rejecting people. I think it's quite sad if you consider that sassy. It means that there isn't a single genuine person by your side.”

Not only was the woman sassy, but she was also extremely sharp with her words.

However, even if that was the case, Boss still found Natasha extremely appealing, and he could not help but feel attracted to her.

“You're right. It's true that there aren't any genuine people around me, but I don't need that,” Boss replied slowly with a meaningful gaze.

“If you don't need that, don't try to act genuine toward me. I don't appreciate that.”

The man merely looked at Natasha without replying.

“So, when are you taking me to Vermillion Base?” Natasha asked directly.

When Boss heard that, he shut his eyes for a moment before saying thoughtfully, “I've already told you, General Will is occupied with some matters lately. I'll take you there after he's done with his work.”

“How long more will it take?”

“I'm not sure yet, but it won't be too long.”

“If that's the case, maybe I can come back again when he's free?”

A crease appeared between Boss' brows as he looked at her.

Natasha was well aware of her situation. It was clear that the man was keeping her under surveillance, but he was trying to act like her friend, telling her that he wasn't restricting her freedom when it was obviously not true.

Natasha did not know what Boss' intentions were, but she was clear that he was scheming something.

At that thought, she looked at the man and said, “I'll wait for two more days. If the situation is still the same, I'll be heading to Vermillion Base myself.”

Boss looked up at the woman incredulously and asked, “You want to go there yourself?” He chuckled. “Do you even know where it is?”

Natasha surveyed her surroundings. “If I guessed it correctly, it should be not too far from here, right? Around fifteen miles toward the east?”

A smirk, which was somewhat stiff, appeared on Boss' face as he looked at Natasha with a complicated expression.

A while later, he answered, “Nope.”

Natasha fixed her gaze on the man as the corners of her lips curled into a confident smile. “You hesitated for ten seconds before replying. That means you're lying!”

Indeed, Natasha was extremely smart. In fact, she was so smart that she could see through any pretense.

Boss stared at the woman and smiled. Feigning nonchalance, he said, “There's nothing you can do even if you know the location of Vermillion Base. Do you think you can walk through the gates freely? Or do you think you will be able to get close to General Will? Let me tell you, before you could even step foot into the compound, you would have already been shot dead!”

Even if what the man said was true, Natasha had already made up her mind. With a fearless expression, she said resolutely, “Even if that's my fate, I will be responsible for my own choice!”

“Aren't you afraid of death?” Boss asked, scrutinizing her.

“I am!” Natasha replied, smiling at the man faintly. “Of course I'm afraid to die. Otherwise, why would I look for you?”

Although it was just a subtle smile, Boss found it extremely alluring.

Taking a moment to compose himself, the man asked, “If that's the case, why do you still want to go?”

“It's natural for us to be scared when we're venturing into the unknown. However, being afraid should not stop us from doing what needs to be done,” Natasha enunciated each word slowly.

Boss looked at her with a strange glow in his eyes and asked, “Your father has already passed away for so long. Isn't it easier for you to let everything go and move on with your life? Why do you insist on finding out the truth?”

“Good question. Then why is there a need to have family or blood relations in this world?” Natasha asked in return.

Boss pressed his lips together when he heard the woman's reply. He knew that there was no way he would be able to convince her.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the man looked at Natasha and said, “General Will is not somebody to be trifled with. Let me give you a word of advice. It's better for you to stop pursuing this matter. I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, things might progress to a stage where no one will be able to save you!”

“Thanks for your kind advice. Please help to look into this matter as soon as possible. I don't want to wait any longer.”

Boss narrowed his eyes at her. “Sometimes, I really wonder if you are really not afraid of death or you are just pretending to be calm.”

“If you really want to know, why don't you just take me there?”

Boss looked at her and pursed his lips tightly.

“If there's nothing else, I shall head upstairs to rest now.”

“What would you do after finding out the real culprit behind your father's death?” Boss asked suddenly.

Natasha halted her steps and turned around to look at the man. After a brief consideration, she replied seriously, “I will do everything I can to kill him!”

“Just that?”

“Just that!”

“But what if the person you're looking for is already dead?”

Natasha froze when she heard that question.

That was indeed something she had not considered before despite having countless scenarios played through her head.

After a while, she snapped out of her daze and replied, “Do you know something?”

Boss shook his head. “Nope. It's just a hypothetical question. However, it's best that you consider every single possibility!”

“Thanks for your reminder. I will think about it. Anyway, I want to see his body no matter what!” Natasha said in a determined manner.

Boss looked at her with an unfathomable glint in his eyes. “All right. I understand.”

Natasha turned around and walked away without replying.

Meanwhile, Boss remained rooted to the spot with his eyes darkening as he stared at the woman's departing figure.
