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.
