Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 I Am Going To Kill Him

Every second of Kenneth’s silence was torturous to Thea. His silence indicated that he was hesitant, or that he did not actually hate Natasha.

“You don’t hate her anymore?” Although it was a question, it sounded more like an affirmative statement.

Kenneth looked at her. “She was not the only one at fault for what happened back then.”

“So you’ve forgiven her?” asked Thea.

“It’s not about forgiveness. If I hate her, she probably hates me more,” explained Kenneth. “After all, she was the biggest victim.”

An awkward expression crossed Thea’s face, but she still forced herself to smile. “You’re starting to defend her now… Doesn’t it mean that you have forgiven her?”

“You don’t understand, Thea. Marriage cannot be explained clearly with a few sentences.”

“Yeah, I don’t understand. After all, I’ve never experienced it. But I can tell that you’re treating her differently now,” said Thea as she stared at Kenneth directly, hoping to detect a small reaction that would deny what she had guessed.

She could discover even the smallest detail.

However, there was none of that.

Kenneth did not deny it.

Thea averted her gaze, trying her best to conceal her disappointment.

“Kenneth, have you fallen in love with her?” she asked.

Frowning, Kenneth denied it, “No.”

“No?”

“No,” he emphasized.

Thea stared at him, still wanting to discover something from his gaze. However, she did not know if it was because his acting was too good, or if he really did not feel anything.

Unable to find out anything, she felt extremely conflicted.

Isn’t this the answer that I want? Why am I still suspecting him?

Thea took a deep breath. “Okay, let’s stop talking about this. When are you free, Kenneth? My parents would like to treat you to a meal to express their gratitude. If you keep refusing to go, they might start to wonder about how I’m treated here.”

Now that the conversation had changed, Kenneth felt much more relaxed. He glanced at the time. “What about tomorrow night?”

“Are you busy during the day?”

“I’m going to Baykeep for a business trip and will only be back at four in the afternoon,” replied Kenneth.

Thea nodded. “Tomorrow night, then. Don’t stand us up anymore! Otherwise, my parents will bring me away.”

When she said that, Kenneth raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “Be honest. Are your parents not worried about leaving you here?”

“Of course they’re worried! But if I can find a boyfriend, they might be more relieved,” said Thea as she snuck a peek at him. Is this hint obvious enough?

He thought about it seriously. “You’ll definitely find a good man.”

Although Thea was disappointed, she said with a smile, “I think so too.”

At that moment, Kenneth’s phone rang. He hesitated when he saw that it was from Liam.

“Is it Old Mr. Hamilton?”

Kenneth nodded.

“Is he okay now?”

“He has already been discharged from the hospital, so he’s fine.”

Thea nodded. “Go ahead and receive your call. I’ll leave now.”

Kenneth nodded again.

After she left, he took a deep breath and accepted the call.

“Grandpa.”

“You brat! Why didn’t you tell me that Nat got injured?” He was greeted with a harsh scolding from Liam the moment he picked the call up.

Kenneth was so shocked that he quickly brought the phone away from his ears. After Liam was done scolding, he said, “It’s not a serious injury. She just got cut by a knife.”
