Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 131

Nevertheless, the implication of Kenneth’s words was evident to everyone present.

Terence couldn’t possibly fail to understand the situation. After all, Kenneth had been keeping

watch at the hospital for the past few days, refusing to leave. Coupled with the fact that he was

lying on the hospital bed because of Natasha, and his intentions were clear as day.

Although he was undoubtedly thankful to Kenneth about that matter, he wasn’t so moved that he

would tacitly entrust his granddaughter to him once more.

While emotional damage wasn’t physical, it was still very much real.

No one knew whether Kenneth would revert back to a scumbag one day. Thus, Terence definitely

wouldn’t forgive him so easily.

As though reading the man’s mind, Liam hastily changed the subject. “Okay, that’s enough,

Terence. Most importantly, Nat is fine, right? That’s the main point here!”

Terence retracted his gaze and shifted it to Liam. Wariness shone in his eyes.

He’s a cunning fox. After so many years, he knows my thoughts all too well! This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“What an old geezer!” he muttered.

Surprisingly, Liam wasn’t enraged. Instead, he leaned close to the man with a wide grin. “Let me

tell you this, Terence. I’m in a good mood today, so I’m not going to take any offense to your

words. No matter what you say, I won’t be angered!”

At that, Terence studied him dubiously. What does he mean?

Beaming from ear to ear, Liam proclaimed, “I’m now the same as you, also recognized as their

biological great-grandfather!”

At the thought that Natasha had admitted to it, he no longer had to restrain himself and conceal his

affection for the children.

The mere thought of it filled him with the urge to guffaw aloud.

As he spoke, something occurred to him. He added, “I’m their biological paternal great-grandfather

while you’re their maternal great-grandfather. I’m closer to them! Heh!”

The moment Terence heard that, his brows furrowed. “What do you mean by that, Liam? Back

when I told you about them, you promised not to snatch them away from me. What’s the meaning

of this now?”

“Things are different now! Back then, you were the one who told me. Now, however, it was Nat

who admitted to it personally. I don’t have to restrain myself and feign ignorance anymore!” Liam

couldn’t help the wide smile that split his face.

In a flash, Terence swung his gaze to Natasha. “You admitted to it, Nat?”

Natasha said nothing.

Now that things have come to this, it’s obviously unrealistic to keep it a secret anymore. But well,

seeing the two of them bicker is really… exasperating!

“Hey, don’t blame Nat. This had nothing to do with her!” Liam even defended Natasha.

When Terence heard that, he grew all the more chagrined. “I’m chastising my granddaughter, so

why are you butting in? You’ve got ulterior motives, Liam!”

“Nonsense!”

“Not only do you want to steal my great-grandchildren, but you even want to steal my

granddaughter?”

Truth be told, that was precisely Liam’s wish from the depths of his heart. He really thought so, but

he didn’t dare give voice to it.

Nonetheless, at the sight of the grin on the man’s face, Terence knew that he had hit the nail on

the head.

Even if Natasha has admitted to it, I haven’t agreed to it!

Pinning his eyes on Liam, he declared battle on him right then and there. “What’s the meaning of

this, Liam? Are you trying to steal the kids from the Watson family now? D-Do you have any

morals?”

Seeing that the man was panicked, Liam countered logically, “How am I immoral? Are the kids

yours alone? Besides, Nat has already admitted to it, so why are you getting mad?”

“I’m simply mad! Let me tell you that the kids belong to the Watson family! They all have the last

name of Watson, not Hamilton!”

“H-How unreasonable!” Liam shot daggers at Terence.

“Furthermore, how has the Hamilton family contributed in any way? Yet, you want to acknowledge

them now, calling yourself their biological paternal great-grandfather? So what? Their maternal

great-grandfather doesn’t agree to it!” Terence was all fired up when it came to bandying words.

Liam was promptly left without a retort.

“Even if they have the last name of Watson, they’re still children of the Hamilton family!” he then

argued.

“It’s always about the Hamilton family! If the Hamilton family wants children, go and have one

yourself! You’re great and mighty, no? These kids came out of Nat’s stomach, so don’t even dream

of taking advantage of it to have ready-made kids!”

“I won’t show you any more mercy if you continue acting in such a manner, Terence. I’m only

allowing you to have your way because I don’t want to infuriate you. But that doesn’t mean that I’m

easy prey!” Liam huffed.

“Allowing me to have my way? Do I need you to do that?”

Liam glowered at Terence, his eyes almost bugging out of their sockets.

After so many years, their friendship was about to crumble at that moment.

Anthony watched everything at the side.

That was the first time he witnessed them having a row for real. He turned his gaze to Natasha.

“Nat, should we… put a stop to it?” He was a touch uncertain.

Natasha was also contemplating that. She mulled it over for a while before answering, “Never

mind. It’s their business, so let them resolve it themselves.”

At that, Anthony nodded in agreement. Suddenly remembering something, he lifted the breakfast

he had brought. “Have breakfast, Nat. Come here. It’s quieter over here.”

In response, Natasha nodded and headed over right away.

Anthony first served her breakfast. After opening and putting out everything, he turned to look at

Kenneth on the hospital bed.

The man was seemingly accustomed to the two elderly men quarreling.

When Kenneth noticed Anthony gazing in his direction, he likewise fixated his eyes on the latter.

Anthony wavered for some time before walking over and placing another set of breakfast before

the man. Then, he opened the containers one by one and placed everything out just like he did for

Natasha.

Verily, he was exceedingly thoughtful.

Kenneth continued staring at him while the boy said nothing and kept his face tense, his thoughts

indiscernible.

After the boy had finished arranging everything, a side of Kenneth’s mouth lifted. “Thank you,

Anthony.”

“You’re welcome.” Having said that stiffly, Anthony got up and walked back to Natasha.

As Natasha watched their interaction from a stone’s throw away, a glimmer of something flashed

across her eyes.

Lowering her head, she continued eating.

When Anthony had walked away, Kenneth looked down at the breakfast in front of him. It was

merely plain oatmeal, but as he gazed at it and ate, he felt that it was the best and most delicious

breakfast he had ever had in his life.

He took big mouthfuls, his usual elegant image nowhere to be seen.

Anthony studied the man furtively. An imperceptible smile played on his lips when he saw Kenneth

eating happily.

Even then, the two elderly men were still squabbling.

Terence clearly had the upper hand. “Liam, I only told you about it previously because you seemed

pitiful. However, don’t test my patience! Did the Hamilton family contribute in any way? Do you

think just because you contributed the…” The words were right on the tip of his tongue, but upon

seeing so many people there, he swallowed them since they weren’t all that elegant. He changed

his wording, snapping, “Don’t think that the kids belong to the Hamilton family just because of that

paltry contribution. Let me tell you that there isn’t such a thing in the world!”

Liam’s blood boiled, but he felt that the man made sense.

Livid, he snapped his head around to glance back at Kenneth, who was still eating. He couldn’t

help lambasting, “This is your fault, brat! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t become the target of

criticism! Now, I can’t even acknowledge the great-grandchildren of the Hamilton family! How am I

to show my face in public in the future?”
