Chapter 235
The atmosphere inside the office grew lively because of Natasha's return.
Natasha sat in her seat while Ross, Thomas, and a few other colleagues surrounded her as if a court proceeding was being held.
They had accumulated too many questions in their minds ever since the Hamilton Corporation's anniversary banquet. Although they had guessed the answers to the majority of their doubts, they still wanted to verify the truth with Natasha.
“So, the things reported in the news are all real?” Ross enunciated his question while looking at her.
Natasha grinned at them. “There are many things reported in the news.
Which are you referring to?”
Thomas leaped to his feet. “Of course we are talking about the matter regarding you and Mr. Hamilton. Are you two really married? Are those three you and Mr. Hamilton's children?”
Natasha glanced at them before nodding. “That's right. However, the media did not get everything right.”
“What do you mean?”
Natasha smiled faintly. “What I mean is that he's my ex-husband.”
Everyone was stunned.
They gaped at one another in astonishment.
“You two are divorced?”
Natasha nodded.
“W-Why?” Ross was under the assumption that Natasha and Kenneth were secretly married. Unexpectedly, their relationship was not as he thought.
“To be more precise, we divorced many years ago. As for the reason behind... I don't think I can tell you all,” Natasha said. She had nothing to hide since that matter had been exposed.
She was merely informing her colleagues of the facts.
“T-Then what are your relationship with Mr. Hamilton now?” Ross asked.
Thomas patted him. “Do you have to ask? Judging by their demeanor during the anniversary banquet, it is obvious that they have reconciled!”
Ross was about to let out a sigh of relief after hearing that. To his surprise, Natasha uttered, “For now, we are merely sharing the children's custody.”
Everyone fell into a daze once again.
“Y-You two did not reconcile?” Thomas was astounded.
She shook her head.
The others fell silent afterward.
Why aren't they back together? They are made for one another. Mr. Hamilton is an eligible bachelor, while Ms. Watson is beautiful and charismatic. Moreover, looking at their interaction, it seems unlikely that they aren't back together...
At that moment, one of Natasha's colleagues could not help but ask, “Ms. Watson, are you really a mother?” “Yes. That's real.” She nodded.
“A-Are they your biological children?” That colleague remained unconvinced. After all, Natasha did not appear as if she had given birth before, much less look like three children's mother.
She resembled a maiden more than anything else.
“But I can't tell that at all by taking in your appearance...
“That's because I gave birth to those children at a young age, and I had more time to recuperate,” Natasha said jokingly.
Everyone laughed. A divorce should be a sad and devastating matter, but that was not the case for Natasha. On the contrary, it seemed as though she was having the time of her life.
Right then, another colleague piped up, “Judging by Mr. Hamilton's
manner, he's probably wanting a reconciliation with you, right?”
Natasha did not feel it appropriate for her to answer that question. “That...”
Sensing her hesitation, Ross immediately bobbed his head. “That must be what's going on!”
However, before Natasha could say a word, Thomas began chattering, “Do you still remember that time when we went to the hospital for a visit? I felt something was wrong when I caught Mr. Hamilton staring at us in that unfriendly manner.”
“Yes, that's right. Besides, Mr. Hamilton's protectiveness toward Ms. Watson during the anniversary banquet was so obvious. I wouldn't believe it if he says he's not interested in Ms. Watson.” “Exactly!” After they were done talking, Ross and Thomas turned to look at Natasha.
“Did we say it right?” Thomas arched his brow at her.
Natasha beamed at them. “Whatever floats your boat.”
At that time, another colleague walked over and questioned Natasha mysteriously, “Ms. Watson, was Mr. Hamilton the one who drove you here earlier in the morning?”
Oops... Were we seen, after all?
Natasha was pondering on a proper way to respond when someone else asked, “How did you know?”
“Someone took a picture and sent it into our office group chat,” that colleague replied.
At that moment, Ross and Thomas took out their phones and searched for the picture that was sent into the office group chat.
The photo depicted a car stopped outside the entrance while Ross and Thomas each stood beside Natasha on her left and right.
The two guys were taken aback when they saw that image.
“T-The person sitting inside that car behind was Mr. Hamilton?” Ross lifted the phone and asked while staring at Natasha.
After contemplating briefly, she nodded. “He sent me to the office because he coincidentally passed by.”
It didn't matter to Ross whether Kenneth passed by by coincidence.
The important issue was that Kenneth was indeed sitting inside that car.
A bitter expression instantly spread across Ross' face as he was rendered speechless.
Taking in Ross' miserable look, Thomas asked naively, “What's with you? So what if that person was Mr. Hamilton? Doesn't that confirm our guess is correct?”
Ross regarded Thomas with an expression as if the latter were a fool. “Take a look at the picture. Look at us. Don't you think Mr. Hamilton will be jealous?”
Thomas was dumbfounded. Colors drained from his face when he turned to gaze at the image again.
Then, one of their colleagues beside him uttered in amusement, “Judging by the angle in this photo, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Hamilton should be
staring at you two from inside the car. I doubt he was pleased.”
Ross and Thomas' faces turned another shade paler.
“If Mr. Hamilton is jealous because of this, perhaps you two might just suddenly vanish without a trace from the surface of the earth someday.”
While the others continued to comment on that matter, Ross and Thomas shifted their gazes onto Natasha, their facial features arranged into a pitiful look.
“Ms. Watson...”
“It's fine. Be good!” Natasha smiled, looking at them in a motherly manner.
Ross and Thomas were stumped.
At that moment, even Xavier cooperatively let out a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, I did not behave over the line.”
The two guys turned to look at him simultaneously as if they were condemning Xavier's despicability. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Everyone gossiped for some time before dispersing.
Although that incident involving the exposure of Natasha and Kenneth's relationship caused quite a stir, Natasha remained her usual self. She did not become arrogant or complacent because of her connection with Kenneth. After all, she could have been Mrs. Hamilton. Even after the divorce, Natasha did give birth to Kenneth's children. She could still be the mother of Hamilton Corporation's heir in the future. Despite all those fixed privileges, Natasha did not flaunt her status. If that matter had not been uncovered, perhaps the others would not have known about those matters at all. Therefore, Natasha's colleagues could not help but admire her poise and composure.
One's attitude indeed plays a significant role in everything.
Natasha finally immersed herself into her work after the crowd scattered.
However, someone walked through the door at that instant. “Excuse me, is Ms. Natasha Watson here?”
“That's me,” Natasha instinctively responded. When she looked up and saw a deliveryman holding a large bouquet of roses, she fell into a daze.
The deliveryman strode up to her under everyone's watchful eyes. “These are from Mr. Hamilton. Please sign the proof of delivery.”
“Wow!” An uproar broke out inside the office the next second.
They were now convinced that Natasha's refusal to admit her relationship with Kenneth was a bluff.
Natasha hastily signed the delivery note. Then, the deliveryman said, “Mr. Hamilton also has a message for you. He wants to remind you not to overexert yourself at work, and he'll always be waiting for you to come home.”
With that, the deliveryman smiled and left.
Another round of cheers erupted inside the office.
Natasha, however, frowned. What is Kenneth doing?
