Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 117

Kenneth looked at Natasha silently.

When he saw Denise pouncing toward him, he opened his arms and picked her up.

“Mr. Handsome! I thought you left with that woman,” Denise said coquettishly. Her small arms

wrapped around his neck as her face lit up in a smile.

Kenneth smiled warmly. “How could I leave with you here, Denise? Not even a carriage of horses

could pull me away from here.”

Denise’s smile widened.

Daddy’s so cool! How did I end up having someone so cool as my daddy?

Natasha watched them in silence.

This little girl really is getting bolder about how much she likes Kenneth!

She wasn’t jealous, and she didn’t want to stop her from taking a liking to him. However, there

seemed to be some things she needed to teach Denise.

…

Back at the hospital, Thea returned to the ward all distraught.

She had never expected Kenneth to learn about that.

In fact, she had seriously thought about it plenty of times before deciding to use the drug. All she

wanted was to become his woman.

Surprisingly, Kenneth managed to hold back and even knew about everything she had done.

She immediately felt like her image in Kenneth’s eyes had been ruined.

What should I do? What should I do now? She began to panic, thinking about how much she had

messed up.

But then again, Natasha is already a mother. If Kenneth can accept that, why can’t he accept me?

All she did was love him and she was willing to do anything for him. What was wrong with that?

Yes! That’s exactly the case. Thea comforted herself.

The two of them had gone way back. Kenneth would definitely forgive her.

Thea took in a deep breath with that thought in mind.

Most importantly, she had to let Liam know that Natasha had a child. As long as he knew about

that and disapproved of her, her job would be much easier.

Thea immediately returned to her bed and took out her phone and dialed Liam’s number.

Liam’s house was still undergoing renovation with noises everywhere.

“You have to follow the blueprint right here!”

“Don’t worry, Old Mr. Hamilton.”

“Do you think we need to add something here? Doesn’t it look a little bit too simple?”

Right then, Dan walked over with his phone. “Old Mr. Hamilton, you have a phone call.”

Liam glanced at it nonchalantly, not reaching to pick it up. “Who is it?”

“She introduced herself as Ms. Jarman.”

Liam frowned. “Jarman?”

He passed the blueprint to one of the construction workers before picking up the call.

“Hello. Who is this?”

“Old Mr. Hamilton, it’s me, Thea. I’m Kenneth’s assistant,” Thea introduced herself.

Liam thought about it for a second before nodding. “I remember you. Anything?”

“Well, I actually do have something to talk to you about. It’s about Kenneth. Are you free right

now? I would like to talk to you about it in person,” Thea continued.

Liam frowned. “Sure. Where are you? I will go meet you.”

“No, that’s alright. I will go meet you instead.”

“I thought you were in the hospital,” Liam said.

“It’s alright. I’m allowed to discharge now.”

Liam thought about it for a second. He hadn’t seen his great-grandchildren since yesterday, so he

had been planning to stop by anyway. “No, it’s okay. I have to stop by the hospital anyway, so why

don’t we meet at the café nearby?”

Thea mistakenly assumed that he was doing so out of care for her, so she hurriedly replied,

“Alright then. Thank you for taking the trouble.”

Liam grunted in response before hanging up.

Only after hanging up did Thea begin to wonder how Liam had known about her being

hospitalized.

Did Kenneth tell him?

Hmm, it looks like sucking up to Liam has been useful after all. Now, he probably has a rather

good impression of me.

Thea knew she had to do better to impress him.

Her plan really counted a lot on Old Mr. Hamilton.

Liam went upstairs to change. When he came back downstairs, Dan asked, “Are you going out?”

Liam grinned. “I have something to do, but I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

“Look at that smile. You’re going to see Mr. Benjamin and Ms. Denise, aren’t you?” Dan chuckled.

Liam’s grin widened. “I can’t believe I miss them so much already after just one day. I just wanted

to stop by and see them, so I’ll be back very soon.” He glanced at Dan. “You don’t have to follow

me. Just stay at home and keep a close eye on the work here. Don’t let them stray from this

blueprint.”

Dan smiled. “Alright. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

Only then did Liam finally relax and strut out of the door confidently.

Thea changed and freshened up a little before she went to the café and waited for Liam.

She deliberately arrived ten minutes early and stood up abruptly when Liam arrived. “Hello, Old Mr.

Hamilton!”

Liam simply glanced at her before he sat down.

“Would you like to order anything?” Thea asked.

“No, I’m good. Just tell me whatever it is you needed to say,” Liam replied.

Thea hesitated for a second before calling for a waiter and ordering a simple cup of tea for Liam.

“I know you have heart problems, so instead of coffee, it’s better to have tea,” Thea said.

Liam just looked at her in silence.

She mistook his lack of a reaction for silent approval.

“Ms. Jarman, please continue with whatever you have to say,” Liam said.

Thea still hesitated for a second before saying, “I know it isn’t my place to talk about this, but I

can’t watch Kenneth getting kept in the dark for much longer.”

“Kept in the dark?” Liam frowned. “Who could possibly keep him in the dark about anything?”

“It’s about Natasha,” Thea said.

He paused. “Who, Nat?”

“Yes. I know that she used to be married to Kenneth, but there’s something you might not have

heard about her,” Thea said, looking extremely serious.

By then, Liam kind of expected what she was about to say, but he simply went along with it instead

of cutting her off.

“What exactly would that be?”

Thea continued hesitating here and there, putting on a great show of being reluctant to tell him and

doing her best to stoke the nervous atmosphere. Her whole plan was for him to think that she was

saying it out of kindness while at the same time being hesitant to poke her nose in their business.

“Do you know she has a daughter?” Thea asked.

Liam frowned slightly, observing the woman in front of him with his keen eyes. He already knew

what she was about to say next.

Still, he stayed silent and didn’t try to catch her in the act.

“I know it’s really inappropriate for me to be talking about this, but I can’t watch Kenneth get roped

into her act!” Thea said. “I know that he’s still caught up about the two children he lost before, but

that little girl isn’t his. If this goes on, what will become of the Hamilton family? How would

everyone react? Is he supposed to just accept her as his own?” Thea asked.
