Chapter 643
Alexia stayed quiet, seemingly troubled by something.
Meanwhile, Denise leaned against Kenneth's chest and studied her.
She looks unhappy. That means my guess was correct.
At that thought, Denise raised her head. “Daddy.”
“What's up?” Kenneth looked down at her and asked.
With a pout, Denise complained, “So what you have with Mommy is true love, while I'm just an accident?”
Everyone turned their attention to her at that instant.
“What's wrong, my darling? Why would you say that?” Kenneth inquired.
“You didn't introduce me,” Denise muttered dejectedly.
Kenneth couldn't help but laugh at her remark while Natasha chuckled helplessly.
“Right. My dearest Denise is also here.” As Kenneth spoke, he stood up while carrying the girl and faced the group. “Everyone, let me introduce someone to you. This is my daughter, Denise.”
Denise's expression changed immediately as she chirped, “Hello, my dear friends. I'm Denise.”
“Friends?” Luke and Mike repeated, their brows raised in amusement.
“Of course. You seem to be just a few years older than me, so you're my friends,” Denise said with a sweet smile.
Luke and Mike were delighted to hear that. They were actually only a couple of years younger than Kenneth and Dave, so they were utterly flattered by Denise's words.
On the other hand, Alexia remained expressionless as she listened to the exchange.
Friends? With Denise?
To her, that word just widened the gap between her and Kenneth.
She did not like it.
As she looked at Denise, the latter happened to glance at her. At the sight of the taunting look in the girl's eyes, Alexia froze.
Was that my imagination?
When she looked over again, Denise was already chatting with the men.
“My goodness, you're so adorable. Not only are you pretty, but you're also such a sweet girl! It seems like you take after Natasha!” Mike remarked.
“I got both Daddy's and Mommy's best traits, unlike my two brothers. One of them takes after Daddy, while the other is just like Mommy.”
“Brothers?” Mike exclaimed.
“Yes. I have two big brothers.”
A hint of surprise flashed across Mike's eyes. “And they're both...”
“They're both their biological children.” Denise finished his words for him.
With a bashful smile, Mike clarified, “That's not what I meant. It's just that things seem to have gone faster than normal...”
People might think that Natasha was pregnant with someone else's kid before she got together with Kenneth!
“What are you talking about? My brothers and I were born at the same time.”
“You're triplets?” Luke asked.
Denise nodded. “That's right!”
Luke and Mike widened their eyes in astonishment and turned to Kenneth. “Boss, you're incredible!”
They actually got triplets? That's such a rare occurrence!
One would feel lucky to have twins, let alone triplets.
Moreover, judging from Natasha's figure, she didn't seem like someone who had given birth to three kids.
Meanwhile, Natasha sat at the side quietly.
It felt somehow embarrassing for her to receive compliments about having triplets.
After all, it was not like she had control over that; that was just biology working its magic.
Kenneth, on the other hand, curled his lips up into a smug smile. “I guess so.”
Natasha was rendered speechless.
Indeed, not everyone is susceptible to awkwardness!
“Boss, you're too humble,” Mike said.
Just then, Dave cleared his throat intentionally, snapping Luke and Mike back to their senses.
Mike cast a glance at Natasha and hurriedly explained, “I didn't mean anything by that. What I actually meant was—” He paused mid-sentence, unable to come up with an appropriate statement.
“All right, you should just stop talking,” Luke chimed in. He then looked at Kenneth and Natasha, asking, “Boss, where are the two boys then?”
“Right. Where are they?” Mike echoed.
“I don't know where they ran off to. Don't think we can find them now, though,” Natasha answered with a nonchalant smile.
“Oh, I'm sure they're also adorable. They must be good boys!” Mike said.
Good boys?
Upon hearing him, the few people who knew the two children couldn't help but smirk.
“What is it? Did I say something wrong?” Mike queried.
“It's nothing. You'll find out when you meet them one day,” Dave told him.
Mike was confused. “What do you mean?”
“He's saying that 'good' is not an adjective you can use to describe my brothers,” Denise piped up.
“Then what should I use instead?”
“Well, you can think about that when you meet them,” Denise said. She didn't think it was nice to talk bad about her brothers behind their backs.
Although Mike couldn't understand what they were trying to say, he still bobbed his head.
Thanks to Denise, the atmosphere livened up once again.
However, that did not apply to Alexia.
All the while, she watched from the side without saying a word.
Until now, she still could not bring herself to believe that Kenneth was already a father.
After the group conversed for a while, Natasha interjected, “Right, you guys must have things to discuss, so we won't disturb you anymore. I'll head upstairs to check on my friend.”
“Okay, Natasha. Go ahead,” Mike and Luke responded.
“Enjoy your chat. See you later.” Natasha flashed them a faint smile before turning to Kenneth. They exchanged glances silently, but Kenneth immediately understood what she meant and gave her a nod.
“Wait for me,” he said in a low voice.
Immediately, Mike and Luke arched their brows curiously.
There wasn't any other meaning behind Kenneth's words, but the atmosphere turned ambiguous due to the duo's reaction.
Nevertheless, Natasha simply smiled and looked at Denise. “Let's go. I'll carry you.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I don't want to go,” Denise whined as she snuggled against Kenneth's chest. She wanted to stay there and keep an eye on Alexia.
Naturally, her intention did not go unnoticed by Natasha. “Your daddy has business to talk about,” the latter prompted.
She threw Denise a look, and the girl got her message right away.
Left with no choice, Denise stretched her arms out so Natasha could take her.
“Why don't you walk on your own?” Kenneth suggested, putting Denise down on the floor.
“Daddy, all you care about is Nat,” Denise commented while looking up at him.
“Isn't that a given? She's my woman,” Kenneth retorted.
As Mike and Luke watched the scene before them, they were amazed.
Wow. Is he really the ruthless J who could kill ten enemies on his own on the battlefield? It's so hard to imagine that he could be so cheesy!
Denise pouted at Kenneth and finally gave in. “Okay. Since this is a special case, I'll go easy on you. I'm your dearest darling, after all.”
Kenneth smiled and stroked her soft hair.
Darling?
Noticing that the father-daughter duo was up to something, Natasha pursed her lips.
“Let's go,” she said. Denise then approached her and held her hand before the two of them ascended the stairs.
