By the time Kenneth looked out the window again, the silhouette was already gone.
He frowned. Is there someone who looks more like me apart from Denise and Benjamin?
He smirked self-deprecatingly and drove off
The scene of Anthony and Kenneth walking past each other made Thalia realize something.
She pulled out her phone and sent Anthony a text using WhatsApp. It read: Wow! I just realized you look a lot like Kenneth!
After reading the message, Anthony frowned. He wanted to ignore it, but he feared she might start wondering. Thus, he replied casually: Maybe all handsome guys look the same.
Thalia: Pflft.
Although her reply sounded indifferent, she was still exclaiming on the inside. But they really do look alike, though!
Meanwhile, Natasha already had her breakfast in the ward.
“Nat.” Anthony walked over to her. “Did you get a good rest last night?”
Natasha looked at him and smiled. “I slept well, thank to you.”
Anthony fell silent.
He recalled the video from yesterday where Natasha saw Thalia.
Is there a hidden meaning behind her words?
Although Natasha did not ask him directly, her gaze seemed to say she knew everything.
Anthony smiled sheepishly and feigned ignorance, asking, “When are Denise and Benjamin coming back?” “Maybe a little later.”
“Then, I'll avoid them once they're back.”
Natasha glanced at him. “Don't you envy them?”
“What for?”
“Old Mr. Hamilton is your biological greatgrandfather. Now that he knows the existence of Denise and Benjamin, he pampers them like they're treasures. Don't you feel jealous?” Natasha asked, eyeing him.
Although they were more mature than ordinary children, it doesn't change the fact that they were still children who desired to be cared for and doted on.
“Gramps asked me the same thing yesterday.”
“Oh? And what was your answer?”
Anthony grinned. “It depends on what they're trying to do, of course. If they're trying to take Denise and Benjamin away from you, then I'm the lucky one. If they're not, they'll find out about my existence sooner or later. Ultimately, I'm the eldest great-grandson of the Hamilton family.
And that is a fact no one can change.”
After hearing his words, Natasha could not help but laugh. Since young, Anthony spoke the least. Never did she expect such words to come out of his mouth.
Looking at him, Natasha pondered for a while before saying, “Anthony, I've never viewed you three as mine. I truly respect your decisions. No matter who you three choose to follow, I'm happy as long as you can grow up healthily. Besides, Kenneth might not be a good husband, but he might be a great father.”
“Logically, if a man does a poor job at being a husband, he won't do well as a father, too,” said Anthony.
Natasha was stunned, as she found her son's words somewhat made sense.
Anthony said, “I'm fine with it. But for the sake of my siblings' physical and mental health, Kenneth still has to be tested.”
Natasha reached out and ruffled his hair, feeling a sense of relief.
“So, Nat, you don't have to compromise your principles just because of us. We respect your decision, too. If you meet a person you like in the future, then go with what your heart decides. Never make yourself suffer because of us.”
Natasha listened to his every word and nodded. “Don't worry. I'll definitely go with what my heart tells me.”
Anthony flashed her a smile.
His smile lifted Natasha's mood in an instant. She reached out and pinched his cheeks gently. “Now that's more like it. You should smile more. You look cute that way.”
Surprisingly, Anthony flushed with embarrassment. “I'm the older brother. I've got to be stricter on normal days.
Otherwise, it'll be hard to discipline Benjamin and Denise.”
“Yeah, I can see you've disciplined them well.”
