Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528

The scene was wholly witnessed by someone on the upper floor.

Kenneth was making a call by the window when he saw Miguel kneeling in front of Anthony.

He furrowed his brows as he watched on. What exactly is the matter that could make a young man kneel to a child?

As the distance was a bit far, Kenneth could only see that Anthony seemed to be denying whatever Miguel was saying to him. Moreover, Miguel's back was facing Kenneth, so the latter couldn't make out what he was saying.

Just then, Natasha walked over and saw Kenneth engrossed in something. She looked at him and asked, “What are you looking at?”

By the time Natasha followed Kenneth's gaze and looked down, Anthony and Miguel had just walked away.

Kenneth snapped out of his daze and looked at Natasha, revealing an innocent smile. “Nothing.”

Natasha nodded lightly.

“By the way, Nat, did anything happen while I was unconscious for the past couple of days?” Kenneth asked.

Natasha thought hard about Kenneth's question before looking up at him. “Yes.”

“What happened?” he asked.

She hesitated for a moment before answering, “Something happened to General Will of Vermillion Base. He should be dead by now.”

The man frowned when he heard that. “Dead?” He pondered for a bit and a thought came to his mind. “Was it Boss?”

Kenneth had a sharp mind; he was able to link things up fairly quickly based on a small clue.

Natasha nodded, acknowledging Kenneth's conjecture.

Kenneth smirked. “Well, only he is capable of pulling something like that.”

“He may be a crazy person, but I guess he sort of took revenge on my behalf...” Natasha murmured.

Kenneth kept his gaze trained on her. “Took revenge on your behalf?”

As that topic was brought up, she looked up at him, her flawless face shining brilliantly. With a smile, she said, “I've figured out what happened to my father during my trip to Vermillion Base.”

He looked at her skeptically. “Is that so?”

With a nod of her head, Natasha explained in detail, “It was true that my father was one of the earliest batches of hackers in Vermillion Base. However, later on, he thought of leaving the organization as he did not agree with their inhumane and ruthless ways of doing things. After he left, the general in charge back then issued the order to kill him.”

“The general in charge back then?” Kenneth rubbed his chin and did a mental calculation. “Based on the timeline, that general should be very old now. General Will's age doesn't match your story.”

“That's right. Although it was the general back then who gave the order, Will was the one who suggested killing my father. The general listened to Will as he was his most trusted aide!” Natasha revealed.

Kenneth took a while to digest the information. “Was Will the one who told you all this?”

“Not all of it,” Natasha responded. Now that the matter was settled, she did not want to hide anything from Kenneth anymore. “It was Boss who told me. He had a voice recording of him and General Will.”

Kenneth did not suspect the authenticity of the recording because he believed Natasha was smart enough not to be duped easily.

Scenes of his childhood flashed across his mind at that moment. If he remembered correctly, the child he met back then must be Boss. Boss' appearance at that place could not be a mere coincidence.

With that thought in mind, Kenneth sounded Natasha out. “Has it ever crossed your mind that the murderer might be someone else?”

“Those people back then are all dead, except for Will. I thought I will kill him myself but I did not expect him to die in Boss' hands,” said Natasha.

She paused momentarily and continued, “I guess that's fine as well. He might not have died in my hands, but ultimately, he's dead. With that, I can let go of this rock in my heart. I finally can lead a normal life and no longer be tormented by nightmares.”

Kenneth initially wanted to discuss more about this matter with Natasha, but after hearing what she said, he dropped the idea.

Now that Natasha could finally find peace with herself after such a long time, it would only worsen her pain if he were to dig further into this matter.

Moreover, it would be best for her to forget her painful past and live happily.

With that, Kenneth turned to look at Natasha with a tender smile. “You're right. The person is gone and so is your pain. From now on, you no longer need to torture yourself with this matter anymore. Just live a carefree, peaceful life. When we return, I will settle the company matters and fulfill my promise to you—be by your side, protect you, and travel with you around the world.”

Natasha smiled as Kenneth's words warmed her heart. “I'd like to pay my respect to my parents when we return this time.”

“I'll accompany you,” said Kenneth.

Natasha gazed at Kenneth and nodded in response.

At that moment, Kenneth reached out his hand. Natasha glanced at it and placed her hand in his palm.

The man gently tugged at her hand and pulled her toward him, leaving only a few centimeters of space between them.

“Nat, does that mean you've agreed?”

“Agreed? To what?”

“Agreed to reconcile with me.”

“Reconcile? What do you mean?” Natasha asked in perplexion.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “Are you going to play dumb now?”

Natasha looked at Kenneth playfully. Her pretty smiling face was as vibrant as the sun. “Kenneth, I don't recall you asking me anything. So what am I supposed to agree to?”

Kenneth caught her hint and proceeded to ask casually, “All right, let me ask you then. Do you want to be my woman?”

“What happens if I reject?” Natasha teasingly asked, narrowing her eyes mischievously.

Kenneth inched closer to her and whispered in her ear, “If you dare to reject, I'll just have to use force then.”

Natasha tilted her head upward to look at Kenneth, who was a lot taller than her. She then chided, “Kenneth, where is your chivalrous manner? You're behaving like a scoundrel now!”

“Well, I act according to the situation. It has been proven that being a scoundrel seems to be more effective when dealing with you,” said Kenneth, his eyes containing a deep and loving gaze.

“How shameless,” Natasha uttered in an unusually coy manner.

Kenneth chuckled. “So, what do you say? Do you agree or not?”

Natasha mulled over it for a few seconds. “Let me consider.”

“I already gave you time to consider yesterday.”

“Let me ask the children.” Natasha raised her brow.

“They don't have a choice. In terms of blood relation, I already have an edge,” Kenneth replied.

“Not necessarily,” Natasha retorted before breaking free from his embrace. “I'll go and ask them now. Wait for my answer.”

“If they object, will you do the same?” Kenneth grabbed her hand, unwilling to let go.

“Yup!” Natasha nodded, beaming at him.

With that, she struggled free from his grip and walked away.

The smile on Kenneth's face gradually disappeared as he watched Natasha walk away.

Nat, I want you to be happy every day, just like how you are now. Let me bear all your sorrows and take revenge on your behalf. Even if you were to know the truth someday, I'm sure you will not regret knowing that he died in my hands.

Kenneth turned his head to look outside. His face was filled with determination as an icy glint flashed across his ebony eyes.

Boss, I'm coming for you!
