Chapter 114
Caroline returned to the ward, thinking about what she had just witnessed.
So Natasha has two children, and they address Kenneth as Mr. Handsome? Even though both of them look like him?
Caroline was puzzled by the scene.
Just that day, Old Mr. Hamilton was watching over the two children. If they weren't members of the Hamilton family, why would he be so close to them and allow them to stay by his side? More importantly, there's no way a family like the Hamiltons will allow Kenneth to have a relationship with a woman who has children of her own. As if that isn't shocking enough, Natasha and Kenneth are actually divorced. Therefore, can it be that those are Kenneth's children?
At that moment, Thea came out of the washroom, looking pale from not having slept the night before. Noticing Caroline's troubled expression, she asked curiously, “Mom, weren't you on your way to buy breakfast? Why did you come back?”
Caroline looked up at Thea, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
If those are really Kenneth's children, it will be difficult for Thea to become his wife.
“Mom?” Thea called out again when Caroline didn't respond.
“I-It's nothing.” Caroline forced a smile.
“Where's breakfast, then?” Thea asked.
“Oh, I forgot to bring my phone.” Caroline waved her phone as she spoke. “I just came back to grab it.”
Thea nodded without thinking much about It.
After dwelling upon the matter, Caroline couldn't resist asking, “Thea, did Kenneth and Natasha have any children together?”
Slightly stunned, Thea turned to look at her. “How did you know?”
Caroline walked up to the former with a serious expression. “It's true, then?”
Thea nodded. “Mm, back when they divorced each other, Natasha lied to Kenneth, telling him that she had aborted the children, who were rumored to be twins. That's the reason why Kenneth hated her.”
Caroline gasped in shock.
“Aborted?” she asked. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, Kenneth gave her much grief because of that.” Thea's tone was filled with disdain. “Despite declaring his hatred for her, he always ends up helping her instead. I really don't understand why he keeps doing it for her.” Thea clenched her fists as a vicious glint flashed across her eyes.
Caroline's face stiffened.
In that case, everything I saw just now can be explained. Natasha didn't abort the children at all. The number of children and their age all match up. Now that the Hamilton family is aware of their existence, all that's left to do is to officially acknowledge them. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Seeing that Caroline was silent, Thea asked, “Mom, what's wrong? Why did you bring this up all of a sudden? Also, how did you
know both of them had children before?”
Caroline stared at her foolish daughter.
She's still being kept in the dark and knows nothing! Back then, I already had the impression that Natasha was someone crafty. Now that I think of it, her actions are consistent with a well-laid plan. By using the divorce as a red-herring, she left with the children and raised them. And now, she has returned to claim what is rightfully hers. Heh, she has truly executed an amazing scheme. There's no way my clueless daughter stands a chance against her ruthless methods.
After pondering for a moment, Caroline looked at her. “Thea, are you sure you want to be together with Kenneth? To be honest, he's not as good as we imagined him to be. There are plenty of guys who are more exceptional than him overseas. When the time comes, I'll introduce them to—”
“Mom!” Thea interrupted Caroline before she could finish. “I already told you that Kenneth is the only person I want. There can be no one else. All of them can't even hold a candle to him!”
“But Natasha and Kenneth are so enamored with each other that you don't stand a chance of challenging her!” “I don't?” Thea was briefly stunned. However, as the words from the murderer the night before flashed across her mind, she broke into an insidious smile. “There's no need to challenge her. Soon, she won't be standing in my way, and I'll be allowed to have him!”
“What do you mean?” Caroline knitted her brows, sensing that Thea was hiding something from her.
Startled by the fact that she had let on more than she was supposed to, Thea regained her composure and smiled. “I don't mean anything. Mom, why do you have so many questions today?”
“I-I was just worried about you.”
“I understand, but I'm still hungry,” Thea purred.
Caroline had no choice but to give in. “Fine, fine. I'll go get you something to eat now. Just wait here. I'll be back very soon!”
Thea nodded with a grin.
Hesitating briefly, Caroline decided to get to the bottom of the matter before telling Thea about it.
With that thought in mind, she turned and left.
Once the door was closed, the smile on Thea's face gradually faded away.
As she looked out the window, a merciless glint replaced the warm glow in her eyes.
When night falls, everything will change. Natasha, don't blame me for what's going to happen. Blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have and just consider yourself unlucky.
Holding that thought, she sent Kenneth a message on her phone.
Thea: Kenneth, do you have some time? There's something I want to talk to you about.
Inside the other ward, Denise gasped in amazement at all the fresh flowers that filled the room as soon as she went in.
“Nat, what is all this about?” she asked curiously.
Natasha threw her a glance. “Someone has cash to burn.”
Kenneth's expression didn't change at all.
At that moment, Denise and Benjamin couldn't help but sneak a glance at Kenneth, who explained, “Since the smell of antiseptic is unpleasant, I bought some fresh flowers to neutralize it.”
Denise and Benjamin were speechless.
What an unbelievable excuse.
Furrowing his brows, Terence let out a snort. “This is such a waste!” He then began unpacking Natasha's breakfast for her.
Kenneth maintained his poise and didn't say a word.
Loving what he did, Denise stared at him with her eyes filled with admiration.
Daddy is a true romantic! Being surrounded by so many flowers makes the room feel like heaven!
Unable to restrain herself, Denise remarked, “I think they are gorgeous!” As she spoke, she walked forward to give the flowers a sniff.
With a fatherly smile, Kenneth walked over and stroked her head affectionately before crouching down in front of her. “Denise, do you like flowers too?”
Denise nodded with conviction. “Mm-hmm, I do.”
“In that case, I'll get them often for you, all right?”
“Really?”
“Of course. Going forward, I'll send them on your birthday and every other occasion, including the days you're happy and the days when you're sad.”
After being absent for so many years, I'll never miss any occasion with them ever again!
Brimming with joy, Denise nodded vehemently. “All right, Mr. Handsome.
Remember to keep your word.” She held out her pinkie.
In response, Kenneth reached out and crossed his pinkie with hers.
