Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 I Will Cripple You

At such close proximity, they could almost hear the sound of each other’s breathing.

Kenneth had never observed her face so closely before. Her fair and bare face was flawless. Her gaze had a faint distant look, and her eyelashes were long and delicate.

Natasha’s perfectly-shaped pink lips glistened alluringly, arousing his desire to kiss her.

Under such an atmosphere, Kenneth gulped and gradually leaned forward.

However, at that moment, Natasha suddenly stretched out her hand and placed it between them. “What are you trying to do, Kenneth?”

Her voice pulled him back to reality.

Sensing his gaffe, Kenneth wiped the dazed expression off his face and stared at her. “What do you think I can do?”

“I don’t know what you can do, but I do know that if you dare to lay a finger on me, I’ll cripple you!”

Kenneth was rendered speechless.

She really can’t say anything sensual.

He backed away from her and could not help but say, “Natasha, your face has become prettier, but there is still nothing attractive about the way you speak and your temperament.”

She arched her brow upon hearing his remark. “It seems you’re still searching for romance even after all these years, Mr. Hamilton.”

Before he could respond, she continued, “What’s the matter? No one can satisfy you thus far?”

Kenneth fell silent.

“If that’s the case, I can only say it is because you do not deserve that pleasure!”

Kenneth remained quiet.

Natasha’s every word was harsh and unforgiving.

The next second, Kenneth suddenly leaned forward and pressed his body against hers again. “Have you forgotten how Denise and Benjamin were conceived? I remember you were extremely sensual that night.”

Natasha did not appear embarrassed or ashamed in the face of his teasing. Instead, she said with a smile, “Don’t you think I’m very professional? I thought you deserved my affection in the past, but I realized I was wrong. You are not worthy, after all.”

Natasha’s manner of speaking was indeed ruthless.

Kenneth was on the verge of exploding with rage, but he continued pretending to be nonchalant.

“I suppose that is my fault then. Why don’t I apologize to you, and you show me your gentle side again? What do you say?” he asked her with his brows raised.

“For me to make that mistake previously was God’s way of favoring you. Do you think I will repeat the same error?” Natasha asked.

Suddenly, Kenneth seized her chin. “Natasha, I do not deny that I treated you horribly in the past, but I’ve never done anything to wrong you.”

She chuckled. “Don’t you feel guilty when you utter those words?”

“I certainly don’t,” he said firmly while staring at her. “Natasha, we were not acquainted at that time. We did not understand one another and lived different lifestyles. We were forced to be a couple because of my grandpa’s order. Do you really think we would be happy when the marriage was not even voluntary?”

She did not fancy recollecting the past, but Natasha could not contain her urge to speak up under the current circumstance.

“I don’t know if we would be happy, but I expected my goodwill to be reciprocated when I treat someone wholeheartedly. I wanted to live an ordinary life. I can accept my partner’s flaws as well as a peaceful and honest separation, but I cannot accept any form of harm,” Natasha enunciated while meeting his eyes.

Kenneth was slightly taken aback as he listened to her words.

“You are right. I should not blame you. After all, I was hoping to have a home and a family at that time while you yearned for excitement and love. I was the one asking for too much.”

Despite their argument, his heart inexplicably ached after hearing her speech.

Kenneth was more or less informed of Natasha’s background due to his grandfather.

He found it unimaginable for Natasha to be as strong as she was even after she had experienced something like that.

At that instant, Kenneth did not know what to say. He fell silent for a long while before uttering, “I wasn’t yearning for excitement and love. Never mind. I don’t know how I should put it either. I admit that I did not handle that matter well too.”

It was rare for him to say something like that.

Natasha also felt they had spoken too much due to the atmosphere they were currently in.

“All right. It’s getting very late now. I want to rest.” With that, she lay in bed and prepared to sleep.

Kenneth watched her for some time. In the end, he walked toward the couch that was off to one side.
