Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 45

The conversation eventually ended there.

It was evident that Kenneth still couldn’t get over the matter.

After pondering for a while, Natasha looked at him and questioned back, “What about you?”

“I have never thought of giving the two children up!” Kenneth responded seriously, enunciating

every single word.

“I meant to ask if you regretted what you did to me,” Natasha replied.

Kenneth paused for a while before responding, “Those are two different matters.”

“It is the same thing!” Natasha said. “If you hadn’t treated me like that back then, I wouldn’t have

kept it from you either.”

Kenneth pursed his thin lips and fell silent.

“You’ve never thought of giving the two children up but would you have allowed them to stay with

me? Would you allow them to have a mother like me, whom you find to be such a disgrace? You

won’t,” Natasha continued with certainty. “So even if I did that out of my own selfish intentions, is

there any problem with that? Why should I keep your flesh and blood and make myself go through

the pain of parting with them?”

Kenneth remained silent.

Natasha went on, “So don’t just put all the blame on me. I admit that my actions were selfish, but I

have to say that it was the best outcome for both of us. There’s nothing tying us together, and we

wouldn’t have to deal with each other. And there wouldn’t be a need for us to be an indispensable

part of each other’s lives.”

“If they were still here, I wouldn’t mind,” Kenneth replied.

Natasha glanced at him and was stunned for a moment before saying, “I mind.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Kenneth’s gaze was full of doubts as he looked at her.

“I don’t have the upper hand in this matter, so I won’t choose to make myself suffer. If I had the

choice, I hope that the one who’s in misery is you.” Natasha’s words were frank and direct.

She couldn’t care less if he called her selfish or merciless, as that was exactly the type of person

she was.

In their relationship, she had no complaints about making sacrifices. But the moment she decided

to let go, she didn’t wish to become the one on the losing end.

Once Natasha finished speaking, Kenneth stepped on the brakes.

Natasha turned to look outside the window and saw that they were already at her house.

Natasha suppressed her emotions and looked at him. “I’ve already made myself very clear. I’m

sure you’ll understand. Also, thank you for yesterday, and thank you for sending me back today.”

With that, Natasha pushed the door open and got out of the car. She hoped that that was all there

was to her relationship with Kenneth in the future.

However, just as she stepped out of the car, Kenneth opened the door and got out as well.

“Natasha,” Kenneth called out. “If I’m given the choice, I would rather that we become an

indispensable part of each other’s lives than be in our current state.”

At this, Natasha glanced at him and gave him a faint smile. “What a pity. It’s too late now.”

Kenneth was just about to say something when a car stopped beside them.

Terence got out of the car and looked at them. Eventually, he cast a questioning look at Kenneth

and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Upon seeing Terence, Kenneth contained his emotions and greeted him politely, “Hi, Old Mr.

Watson.”

Terence’s gaze lingered and fell upon Natasha’s bandaged arm. With a frown, he asked, “Nat, are

you hurt? What happened?”

“I’m fine, Gramps,” Natasha replied.

There was still blood seeping through the bandage around her arm and her injury looked serious.

Terence glanced at Kenneth. “You rascal. Were you the one who did this? What did you do to Nat?

Let me tell you this. I don’t care whose grandson you are, but if you dare to hurt Nat, I won’t let you

off!”

When she saw Terence fly into a rage, Natasha rushed forward to calm him down. “Gramps, this

has nothing to do with him. He wasn’t the one who did it.”

“Who else could have done it besides him?” Terence glared at Kenneth.

The latter merely stood there in silence and didn’t try to explain himself. It wasn’t that he was

afraid, but it was out of respect toward Terence.

“Grandpa, it really isn’t him. An accident happened yesterday, and he was the one who saved me,”

Natasha hurriedly explained. If she didn’t make things clear then, there was a possibility that

Terence would end up beating Kenneth.

Hearing this, Terence looked toward Natasha. “Nat, don’t be afraid. Now that I’m here, no one can

try to bully you.”

“It’s true, Gramps. There’s no need for me to cover up for him,” Natasha replied.

“Really?”

Natasha nodded profusely to show that she meant her words.

It was only then that Terence was slightly appeased and looked at Kenneth. “If that’s what Nat

says, then I’ll believe you. But Kenneth…” Terence pondered for a while before continuing, “Nat is

the only descendant left in the Watson family. I don’t want any harm to happen to her. I hope you

can understand this.”

Kenneth nodded. “I understand.”

“That’s good.” As he said that, Kenneth glanced at Natasha again. “All right. Let’s go upstairs and

let me have a look. What exactly happened?”

“It’s just a minor injury, and I was the one who caused it.” With that, they headed upstairs amid

Terence’s worry.

Meanwhile, Kenneth stood downstairs. It was only after he watched them go in that he retracted

his gaze, got into his car, and drove off.

Upstairs, Terence held the medical kit and looked at her injury carefully by the side.

“The wound must be very deep. This won’t do. I think you should go to the hospital to get it

treated,” Terence advised her.

“Gramps, I’ve already treated it at the hospital. They’ve already applied the medication. It really

isn’t a big deal,” Natasha responded.

It was only then that Terence heaved a sigh of relief. However, he relentlessly continued to probe

further. “So what exactly happened?”

“Um… It’s difficult to explain. But don’t worry, Gramps. I’ll take care of this.”

“No. You have to tell me everything.”

Natasha knew that he wouldn’t stop pestering her until she made things clear.

After contemplating for a while, Natasha explained, “Yesterday, I went to negotiate a project deal

with Gaston from Prime Investment Corporation. He got rowdy… and I ended up hurting myself to

stay conscious. But afterward, Kenneth came to my rescue and even beat him up. He then sent

me to the hospital, which is how I ended up with this.” She gave a brief overview of the entire

process.

Although Natasha made it sound simple, Terence knew that it was not how the situation went.

However, when he heard that Kenneth saved her and even beat the guy up, Terence felt slightly

more satisfied. Besides that, his prejudice against Kenneth was also reduced by a little.

All of a sudden, he seemed to remember something and immediately switched on the television. At

that moment, the news was being broadcasted.

“At nine o’clock this morning, the International Trade Administration and the Major Crimes Unit

jointly went to Prime Investment Corporation and arrested Mr. Williams, an executive at Prime

Investment Corporation. Based on live reports, Mr. Williams has committed corporate crimes and

rape, among many other charges. They have now acquired conclusive evidence…”

After looking at the footage of Gaston being arrested on the news, Terence turned to look at

Natasha.

“Did you do this?” Terence asked.

Natasha immediately shook her head. “It’s not me. I haven’t even found the time to do it.”

Terence believed her. If she was the one who did it, she wouldn’t deny it.

“Then isn’t this such a coincidence?” Terence asked.
