Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 974

As Natasha was sleeping, she was suddenly jolted awake by a nightmare.

“Kenneth.” She opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on the ceiling.

Denise was by her side. Upon hearing her stir, she immediately moved closer. “What's wrong, Nat?”

Natasha's gaze shifted to Denise. When she made her daughter out, her brows furrowed slightly. “What are you doing here, Denise?”

“Everyone at home is out now, leaving just you and me here. Daddy asked me to come over and keep you company,” Denise answered.

Hearing that, Natasha looked at her and asked, “What time is it now?”

Denise lifted her wrist to check the time. “It's already four o'clock in the morning.”

“Are your daddy and Anthony home?” Natasha asked.

Denise shook her head. “If Daddy is home, I certainly won't get to stay here anymore.”

She knew that pretty well.

At her reply, Natasha felt a sense of dread deep within. She lifted her head and snagged her phone from the bedside table.

Denise looked on, then asked, “What's wrong, Nat?”

“I'm going to give your daddy a call,” she said, calling Kenneth right away.

After she had made the call, no one picked up on the other end as time ticked away by the second.

Following that, Natasha's brows knitted together.

Hanging up, she tried calling again.

Watching her at it, Denise murmured, “Perhaps things aren't going as smoothly, and Daddy might still be busy, Nat.”

Speaking of that, Natasha was taken aback for a moment.

Yes, that's true. What's wrong with me? Have I lost all reason over a dream?

Seeing that Natasha had fallen silent, Denise added, “Just half an hour ago, Tony sent a message to the group chat that he's safe.”

“Is that so?” Natasha asked.

Denise immediately took out her phone and tapped open their group chat. Anthony had indeed sent a message there that read “Safe.”

Upon seeing that, Natasha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“All right, Nat. I know you're worried, but Daddy and Mr. Dave will definitely be fine since they're so incredible. The same goes for Tony. Just rest assured.”

Natasha listened and nodded. “Yeah.”

“If you can't sleep, I'll stay close to you. Just sleep with peace of mind, Nat. With me by your side, everything will be fine,” Denise said. Then, she leaned in, resting her forehead against Natasha's.

Basking in the faint, soothing smell unique to Denise, Natasha felt much more at peace.

She closed her eyes and repeatedly told herself that it was just a dream.

And so, she gradually calmed down.

“Denise.”

“Hmm?”

“Remember to wake me up when your daddy and brother are home,” Natasha murmured.

“Got it,” Denise replied.

Thereafter, Natasha closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

She was utterly exhausted and weary then. Her body had long since gone beyond its limits, and she would become unbearably weak if she exerted even the slightest effort or concentration.

After Denise watched Natasha fall asleep, her eyes, which sparkled just a moment ago, instantly dimmed.

There might no line when it came to Anthony's phone, but the same could not be said of his watch.

At that point, Anthony and Thalia had long since already converged and had left that place. However, they hadn't returned yet, and where they had gone remained unknown.

But her intuition told her that there must be something going on.
