Chapter 87 Good Actress
Natasha had no intention of backing off from Kenneth. She looked him straight in the eye, shook her head, and replied, “No, I have nothing more to say to you.”
Kenneth let out a derisive smile and said, “How did I not notice earlier that you are such a good actress, Natasha?”
“Oh, really? That is great! I have another backup career choice then,” she jested.
Kenneth was exasperated and decided to play the bad guy.
He pulled a long face and said sternly, “Natasha, you know what I am talking about, and you obviously know what I am after. Cut the act and give me the answer!”
“What answer?” Natasha replied nonchalantly, keeping up with her innocent act.
“You…” Kenneth looked at her furiously and said, “Natasha, is Denise and the other child—”
“Kenneth, I am a patient now. Can you cut me some slack? Can’t we discuss whatever you have in mind after I get discharged?” Natasha cut him off, not giving him a chance to ask his question.
“Patient? You definitely don’t act like one, so pardon me for overlooking that!” he said.
Natasha lifted her hand and showed him her injuries.
There was no doubt she was injured, but Kenneth could not hold in his frustration any longer. He wanted to know the answer immediately.
“Just one question. You only need to answer one question from me, Natasha. Are they my children?” He looked at her with pleading eyes and asked.
“No.” It was a short and firm reply.
Kenneth could not accept that answer.
“Impossible! They are obviously my children!” He dismissed her reply.
Natasha took a deep breath and said, “I answered your question, but you refused to accept my answer. Why do you bother to ask me in the first place?”
Her gaze was firm and non-evasive, but Kenneth refused to take her word for it.
He enunciated, “I want the truth!”
She raised an eyebrow and challenged him. “So you only take the answer ‘yes’ as the truth?”
Kenneth stared at her, speechless.
“If you don’t believe me, then go for a paternity test!” she said.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and replied, “Do you think I won’t do that?”
Natasha merely gave a small smile, playing mind games with him.
Kenneth clenched his fist tightly and hissed, “Sure, we’ll get a paternity test done. If Denise is really my girl, I… I will not let this matter slide, Natasha!”
Natasha gave him a wry smile and said, “You said the same thing when I told you I did not keep the babies. Now, when you think the children are yours, you threaten me in the same manner. No matter what I do, you will not let me off, right? I am in a no-win situation, so what more can I say?” She stared at him, putting on an indignant look.
She made it look like she was the victim when she was the one playing games with his mind and frustrating him.
Kenneth’s eyes were burning with rage, but Natasha fearlessly stared back, undeterred.
The tense situation was diffused when police officers walked in through the door. “Is Ms. Natasha Watson here?”
Kenneth withdrew from the hostile confrontation with Natasha, turned around, and nodded to the police officers who were standing at the door. “Yes.”
“We have some questions with regards to the accident last night,” one of the police officers said.
