Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584

A while after the helicopter left, Kenneth retracted his gaze and turned to leave.

However, the moment he turned his head, he saw the woman who was standing at a distance.

Natasha was dressed in black from head to toe, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. She was also looking up at the sky.

Kenneth froze when he spotted the woman, and his eyes narrowed.

Just then, Natasha looked away from the sky and fixed her gaze on Kenneth before walking toward him.

“Why are you not sleeping?” Kenneth asked the woman, who had stopped in front of him.

After taking a deep inhale, Natasha replied, “How can I sleep when you're feeling uneasy?”

Kenneth looked at Natasha and felt a surge of emotions, not quite knowing what to say.

“What happened?” Natasha asked.

“It's Spencer,” the man replied after a brief moment of contemplation.

“Spencer?” Natasha narrowed her eyes and questioned further, “What's the matter with him?”

“He and Thaila have been ambushed, and they need help now. Dave had gone to get them,” Kenneth replied.

When the woman heard that, a hint of worry flashed across her eyes as she asked, “How did that happen? What's going on?”

“I'm not sure of the details yet, but it shouldn't be too serious. After all, one of them is Darknetz Ace, and the other one is known as Miraculous Hands. I'm sure they'll be fine!” Kenneth answered.

“Will Dave manage all by himself?” Natasha scrunched her brows when she heard that.

“Don't worry.” Kenneth tried to reassure the woman.

Emotions surged beneath Natasha's eyes as she asked, “Did you not go because of me?”

“Also, because of our three little ones and everything here,” the man replied.

Natasha twitched her lips when he heard that. She fixed her gaze on Kenneth and remained silent for a long time before replying, “We will be all right here. Besides, with me around, I won't let anything bad happen to the kids...”

“But what if this is a part of Vermillion Base's scheme? Do you think I can bring myself to leave you guys in such a dangerous situation?” Kenneth asked.

Natasha pressed her lips together and did not answer.

“Nat, haven't we already discussed this? You said that you would try to depend on me,” Kenneth carried on.

“I'm just worried about Spencer.”

“Similarly, I'm worried about you too. In fact, to me, nothing is more important than you and the kids,” the man enunciated.

There was nothing else Natasha could say.

As such, she pursed her lips and kept quiet.

Looking at the woman, Kenneth said, “Don't worry. With Dave around, they will be fine. Trust me. Now, all we have to do is to have some patience and wait for them.”

“Okay.” Natasha nodded.

With that, the couple sat there and waited.

Natasha gazed at the night sky expressionlessly. It was hard to tell what she was feeling at that moment.

“When did you and Spencer know each other?” Kenneth suddenly asked.

When Natasha heard that, she retracted her gaze and started recalling the old times. “We knew each other when we were a lot younger. It has been a very long time.”

Kenneth merely stared at the woman.

“It was right after my dad died. I wanted to use the computer when Grandpa and I reached home after visiting you at the hospital, but Grandpa didn't allow me to. So, I bought a second-hand laptop with my savings. However, I met some swindlers, and they wanted to teach me a lesson as they didn't manage to cheat me. A few large men chased after me and hit me. When I was on the verge of death, Spencer suddenly appeared!”

Even though Natasha sounded casual and made it seem as if it was nothing serious, a cold glint flashed past Kenneth's eyes as he listened.

Narrowing his eyes, the man asked, “What happened after that?”

“After that, Spencer saved me. As such, he's aware of my secret all along,” Natasha replied.

“I meant what happened to those people who took advantage of you!” Kenneth asked between gritted teeth.

Natasha could tell that Kenneth was infuriated and smiled in amusement. “I went to look for them to take my revenge after learning one year of grappling techniques. One of them was crippled, another one was paralyzed in one arm, and a third one lost his sense of hearing. I think that was what happened. I can't really remember now.”

“You fought three of them single-handedly?”

“I went for them separately,” Natasha said before continuing, “I was still young at that time. I won't do anything that puts myself at a disadvantage.”

When Kenneth heard that, he visibly relaxed. Otherwise, he would certainly go after those people when he returned.

“Carry on,” Kenneth said.

“Then, Spencer and I continued to keep in touch. Sometimes, when he needed my help, I would help him. Of course, when I have any needs, he helps me too,” Natasha said.

“When you have needs?” Kenneth narrowed his eyes. He did not feel comfortable hearing those words.

Feeling speechless, Natasha stared at the man and said, “I don't mean that kind of need.”

Kenneth raised his brow and replied, “I understand what you meant. I just don't like the way you said it.”

Of course, Natasha knew that Kenneth was just being jealous. “So, so we continued keeping in touch. Although we are not that close, we probably knew each other best.”

Those words did not sound pleasant to Kenneth again.

With a crease between his brows, the man fixed his gaze on Natasha.

Looking back at Kenneth, Natasha said, “For many years, we only contacted each other whenever we needed help. It was only after a long time that we naturally became friends. We are friends who have each other's backs, but we are purely friends!”

Although Natasha had already explained her relationship with Spencer very clearly, Kenneth still felt very possessive of the woman.

“I am the only person who can have your back!” Kenneth said.

“My back is all yours from now onward,” Natasha replied, looking at the man.

“Also, I am the one who knows you best and vice versa,” Kenneth said.

Natasha took another deep breath, and in the same manner she would coax a kid, she replied, “Yes. We know each other best.”

“Also, I think it's best that you contact each other only when you need something from each other,” Kenneth said.

Natasha was unable to hold back and burst out laughing. “Kenneth, what happened to your maturity? What happened to being dignified and classy?”

Kenneth stared at Natasha intently and enunciated, “Those were all gone after I got to know you. Also, there are hardly any men who can remain mature, dignified, and classy when it comes to this. I am no exception.”

Natasha looked at the man and burst out laughing again. “I'm just trying to tell you that Spencer and I are purely friends and nothing more.”

“That's what you think. How do you know what he's thinking?” Kenneth asked. The smell of jealousy in the air was intense.

“The person he likes is Thalia. So, what do you think he's thinking?” Natasha asked.

Kenneth was momentarily stumped when he heard that. However, he was still unwilling to change his stance. “It's common for men to want to have his cake and eat it. You don't know for sure that he's not like that too.”

Natasha chuckled and sized Kenneth up before asking, “So, are you like that as well?”

“Of course not!” the man denied at once.

Natasha cocked her brows and questioned further, “If that's the case, how do you explain your actions during those previous few years?”

Kenneth was filled with regret at the mention of the past. It felt as though he had shot himself in the foot.

He had chosen the worst possible method to deal with things back then.

The man pulled Natasha into his arms and said, “I wasn't serious about that.”

Natasha nodded thoughtfully and replied, “Oh. You were just joking when you were forcing me to get a divorce...”

Kenneth was at a loss for words.

He knew that that was something he would not be able to avoid forever.

Indeed, what goes around comes around.
