Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 736

Kenneth picked up the call in the corridor.

“Hello?”

“Kenneth, how are you? Are you feeling better?” Mike asked.

“Yes, I'm fine now,” Kenneth replied.

“I'm glad to hear that. I'll be at ease if you're fine.”

Hearing the underlying message in his words, Kenneth raised a brow and asked, “Is there something?”

“Uh, it's nothing big, really.”

“What is it?”

“It's... Alexia. She wants to meet you,” Mike replied.

It was only then Kenneth remembered Alexia. If not for her, Natasha would have been the one shot the night before.

With that thought in mind, Kenneth asked, “How is she?”

“The bullet didn't hit her vitals, so she's mostly fine. But she's quite stubborn and is refusing to take her medicine unless she sees you,” said Mike in a rather reluctant tone.

Kenneth mulled over it for a while. “I got it.”

“Kenneth, you'll...”

“I'll be there in a bit.”

“What about Natasha?”

Kenneth turned toward Natasha at that. She knew that he was on a call, so she halted in her tracks and waited for him.

His lips curled, and he said, “She'll be coming with me.”

Mike answered, “All right. I was overthinking. In that case, I'll be at ease.”

“Just relax,” was all Kenneth said before hanging up the call and keeping away his phone.

Natasha had her hands on the handrail of the stairs, and when she saw him walking toward her, she smiled.

“What's up?”

“Take a guess.”

Natasha hummed for a while before asking, “Who was on the other end of the line?”

“It was Mike.”

Natasha narrowed her eyes before cocking her head to the side. “Alexia, then?”

Kenneth's smile widened when he heard her answer.

“That's right.”

Kenneth reached out to hold her hand and led her downstairs. As they walked, he said, “It looks like it won't be easy to hide anything from you.”

“So what are you trying to hide from me?”

“Hm, maybe my secret savings?” Kenneth playfully arched a brow.

Natasha could not stop the laugh from escaping her.

Kenneth had an equally delighted smile on his face as he gazed at her. At that very moment, he was extremely glad that he had found Natasha.

He could not imagine his life otherwise.

The two of them headed to the dining room while holding hands.

“So, will you be going there later?” she asked.

“Yes. Just to take a look,” Kenneth replied.

Natasha nodded in understanding. “Yes, you should visit her.”

“Us, you mean,” Kenneth said.

Natasha stared at him in silence for a while before uttering, “Although she's young, the love she has for you is immense. Are you sure you want me there?”

“Isn't that exactly why you should be there?” Kenneth questioned.

“I'll be a third wheel if I'm there,” Natasha said.

Kenneth suddenly wrapped his arm around her thin waist. “Nat, are you confused? We are a couple and she's the third wheel.”

Natasha's gaze turned soft and merry as she looked at him.

At that very moment, she recalled a line from a book she read some time ago—Those who love you won't let you feel fearful of losing them. True love is straightforward and intense.

That was what Natasha felt at that moment.

She beamed and bobbed her head. “All right. In that case, I'll make time to go with you.”

“Thank you, my dear wife,” Kenneth whispered into her ear after leaning closer to her.

“I don't remember agreeing to marry you.”

Kenneth grabbed her hand and stared at the diamond ring on her finger. “But, Nat, you've already accepted my proposal.”

“But there's still a step left between a proposal and a marriage,” Natasha pointed out.

Kenneth ruminated about it before solemnly correcting himself, “Then, thank you, my sweet wife-to-be.”

Natasha averted her gaze and chuckled.

“Come on. Let's go and eat.” With that, Kenneth led her away again.

Perhaps that day was the day with the most people around in the dining room.

Dave, Spencer, Thalia, Kenneth, and Natasha were all there.

It was rare for them to all be present at the same time.

Thalia was in the middle of eating when she saw Natasha and Kenneth walking over. At the sight of them, she could not help but utter, “Oh my, some people are simply so hardworking both day and night.”

Natasha was rendered speechless, having not expected Thalia's dirty joke.

When Spencer heard Thalia, he lifted his head to give her a glance, but it was as if Thalia did not notice it. She continued to stare at Natasha and Kenneth in amusement.

He tore his stitches just for this. Unbelievable.

However, Kenneth seemed unfazed by her teasing.

He first pulled out the chair for Natasha and waited for her to sit down before he took a seat. As he looked at the woman in front of him, he asked, “What's the matter? Are you jealous?”

Thalia laughed. “Jealous, my foot! I've just never heard of something like this!”

“You've been living under a rock, then,” Kenneth responded, infuriating Thalia.

“You—” Thalia glared at him before studying him from head to toe. She huffed and continued, “You seem proud of something like that.”

“And you say you're not jealous,” Kenneth retorted. He then averted his gaze and turned his focus to Spencer instead. “Spencer, if your woman is jealous of another woman, you're not doing good enough.”

Spencer choked on his food at that.

Thalia's eyes flicked toward Kenneth. “What nonsense are you going on about, Kenneth?”

“What's the matter? Did I say anything wrong?”

“There's nothing going on between me and Spencer! We don't do those things that you do!”

Natasha, who had started her meal, coughed at that.

It was only then Thalia realized that she had accidentally attacked Natasha as well.

Hastily, she explained, “I don't mean to say that about you. He's my only target.” With that, she trained her eyes on Kenneth again.

Kenneth turned back to Spencer and said, “All men in this world should thank you for restraining this goblin.”

Thalia snapped, “Who are you calling a goblin?”

“Whoever just answered me.”

Thalia rolled up her sleeves. “I dare you to say it again.”

Unlike her, Kenneth remained seated, composed. “What can you do to me even if I were to repeat myself ten more times?”

“All right, you said it. If that's the case, let's fight! We'll settle the scores once and for all.”

Right as Thalia said that, Natasha and Dave stood up with their plates and moved away from Kenneth and Thalia.

Thalia was stunned by their actions. “You—”

“It'll be easier for you two to fight like this,” Dave explained.

Natasha gave her a smile. “Just pretend that I'm not here.”

Her words rendered Thalia speechless, and when Thalia turned to Kenneth, she saw that he was still sitting in silence.

Things had already reached that point, so she could not just stop halfway.

“Come at me!” she uttered.

In the next second, Spencer reached out to stop her. “Come with me.”

He then pulled her outside.

At that, Thalia hurled even more curses. “I'm telling you now! I've never been afraid of anyone! I dare you to stay there and wait for me to come back!”
