Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 The Triplets Apologized

At the sight of Anthony switching off the computer, Benjamin, who was sitting idly, chuckled. “Don’t you think you’re overreacting? It should be fine to chat with them for a while. After all, you haven’t gone online for more than one month.”

“It’s best to keep our guards up,” Anthony emphasized.

“Don’t worry, Mommy is not back yet,” Benjamin stated matter-of-factly.

Staring at him sternly, Anthony warned, “Heed my advice. You’d better avoid logging into the page too often at home. Otherwise, I won’t care about you if Mommy finds out.”

Benjamin arched his brows and zipped his mouth.

Even though Anthony and Benjamin were twins, their temperament was a stark contrast to each other. Anthony had a sense of vigilance, whereas Benjamin was bolder, like how Natasha differed from Kenneth in terms of their characteristic.

Benjamin tilted his head to look at Anthony. “Have you ever given any thoughts to the result? Do you wish for a positive test result or the other way round?”

“I’ve never thought about that,” Anthony replied calmly.

“Come on! How could you remain unperturbed about it? He could be our daddy!” Benjamin gazed at him in astonishment.

Anthony shot him a glance and asked, “How about you?”

After pondering for a while, Benjamin piped up, “I hope the result is positive.”

“Why?” Anthony asked curiously.

“I guess I’m tired of searching for our daddy. Regardless of who he is, I have a hunch Nat must have left the city with us at that time due to something unpleasant. Instead of other good-for-nothing jerks, I would rather he’s the one. At least, he’s handsome,” Benjamin explained analytically.

Even so, Anthony remained silent.

“Most importantly, I sense that Denise likes him very much,” Benjamin added, pointing out one of his observations.

“To me, Nat’s feeling is the most important,” Anthony mumbled, squinting his eyes.

Unequivocally, he seldom expressed his points of view and feelings. Notwithstanding, he was the one who prioritized Natasha’s feelings among his siblings. Thus, Benjamin did not comment further.

Coincidentally, Natasha was back with Terence at that time.

The two brothers rose to step out of the room when their footsteps sounded.

Catching sight of Terence carrying bags of vegetables and ingredients, a quick-witted Benjamin stepped forward immediately. “Gramps, let me help you.”

Meanwhile, Natasha changed into slippers quietly before flinging herself on the couch.

Anthony dragged himself toward Natasha. In the meantime, Denise popped her head out of her room. After ensuring her two brothers were there, she finally mustered up her courage to step out of the room.

Moments later, Denise and Anthony stood guiltily in front of Natasha.

Sensing something awry, Terence walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

When Natasha shot Benjamin a glance, he stepped forward obediently to stand in line with Anthony and Denise.

“Apologize now,” Natasha stated somberly.

“Nat, we’re sorry,” the triplets opened their mouths in unison.

“You’ve apologized to the wrong person,” Natasha hinted.

Right that instant, the sharp-witted triplets looked at Terence and apologized earnestly, “Gramps, we’re sorry.”

Perplexed, Terence asked incoherently, “What’s the matter? Did anything go wrong? What on earth has happened?”

“Gramps, I lied to you that someone from our school would send us home. In actuality, we sneaked out to have fun elsewhere,” Benjamin piped up.

“It’s my idea,” Anthony tried to speak up for him.

Seeing her two brothers trying to take the fall for each other, Denise squeezed out a tear piteously and lamented, “Gramps, it’s not their fault. They offered to bring me somewhere fun because I’m feeling bored. It’s all my fault.”

The next second, she threw herself into Terence’s arms coquettishly. It melted the latter’s heart at once. He coaxed her, “It’s all right. Don’t cry, okay?”
