Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 I Intend To Pursue Her

Meanwhile, Kenneth was still around when Zachary came downstairs.

Although, it would be more accurate to say the former was waiting for the latter.

“You’re still here, Mr. Hamilton?” asked Zachary, who had approached by then.

That was when Kenneth locked eyes with him and spoke without beating around the bush. “How long have you been with her?”

Zachary’s brows twisted into a frown. “You mean Nat?”

It was evident that Kenneth was referring to her from the way he fell silent and seemed irritated by that nickname.

Hence, a chuckle came from Zachary as he then explained, “Mr. Hamilton, you seem to have misunderstood. Nat and I aren’t dating.”

“Really?” Kenneth appeared shocked upon hearing that.

“Yep.” Zachary nodded.

Darkness left Kenneth’s face as his mood improved, and he spoke with less hostility. “So, you guys are-”

Zachary looked at him while interjecting, “Pardon my candidness, but may I ask what your relationship with Nat is, Mr. Hamilton?”

At once, Kenneth’s eyes narrowed to slits as he responded, “What do you think?”

“Mr. Hamilton, if you wanted to keep your relationship with her private, was it really necessary to come over and interrogate me?” Zachary retorted. While he was not involved in the corporate world, that did not mean he would allow others to walk all over him.

Kenneth walked over while locking eyes with Zachary. An arrogant countenance radiated from the former as he stated, “She and I used to share a deeply intimate relationship.”

Not a trace of annoyance or anger showed on Zachary’s face upon learning that. Instead, he slightly raised a browed while asking, “You’re her ex-husband?”

Kenneth’s eyes narrowed even more. “You’re aware that she was once married?”

“Is that so shocking?” Zachary chuckled amusedly.

Kenneth scrutinized Zachary, thinking the latter was not as much of an open book as his appearance suggested.

A grin curved on the former’s face as he replied, “It is.”

Zachary placed both hands in his pockets, his tone coming off casual and languid. “Since you’ve been nothing but honest with me, Mr. Hamilton, I won’t bother hiding the truth. Nat and I are currently friends.”

“Currently?” Kenneth fixated on him.

Another chuckle came from Zachary. “Yeah. I intend to pursue her.”

Once more, Kenneth murderously narrowed his eyes.

“That’s why we’re friends for now. I’ll soon give my all into pursuing her.” Zachary put on a look of utmost seriousness than he ever showed before at that moment.

Not a word came from Kenneth, but one could clearly see the treacherously growing disbelief and warning in his eyes.

Sometimes, men did not need words to communicate; All it took was one glance.

Zachary was no match for Kenneth in terms of having an influential and money background.

“You’ve asked quite a lot of questions, Mr. Hamilton. You’re not still hung up and planning to get back with Nat, are you?” asked Zachary.

Hearing that, Kenneth chuckled. “So what if I am? And so what if I’m not?”

“If you are, then from this moment on, we’re enemies. However, if you’re not, I hope you won’t interfere too much with Nat’s life because I’ll be looking after her in the future,” Zachary stated smilingly as if he were a charming gentleman.

Despite having the same height and build, the men exuded utterly different auras; One seemed so sincere like a ray of warm sunshine, while the other was aloof like an icy blizzard.

Both would be equally matched if they had a face off.

“Don’t get too cocky. I doubt you can lock her down,” said Kenneth.

“My goal isn’t to lock her down. What I want is to give her all the happiness and joy in this world. I intend to make her feel bliss like never before.” The innuendo in Zachary’s words did not go unnoticed.

A sneer came from Kenneth. “Let’s hope you remain this confident in the long run.”

“I will.” Zachary confidently nodded under Kenneth’s gaze.

It was then that Zachary’s phone rang, and took it out to look at the caller ID. However, he did not intend to answer it.

“Well, Mr. Hamilton, I’ll be on my way if there’s nothing else.”
