Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353

Thalia thought for a while before saying, “I was wondering why we had to do something like that all of a sudden. Turns out it was your idea!”

Anthony grinned but said nothing.

“Did they offend you?” Thalia asked.

Anthony arched a brow. “I guess you can say so.”

“How did they offend you?”

“They were unfriendly to someone.”

Thalia was surprised. “Who were they unfriendly to?”

The three children did not utter a word.

“Was it your mommy?” Thalia took a guess.

Anthony glanced at her, and judging by the look in his eyes, she knew she was right.

“I knew it. Your mommy is the only person you'll fret over!” Thalia remarked.

Right then, Anthony quipped, “Thalia, have you realized that you got smarter after getting to know me?”

“Scram!” Thalia snapped.

Hearing that, Anthony chuckled out loud.

Right then, Denise asked, “Tony, do you think those people knew it was us behind this?”

“What do you think?” Anthony responded.

Benjamin chimed in, “They couldn't see the forest for the trees and would assume it was the other bunch of people who did that!”

Anthony nodded in agreement.

“Does this mean Daddy is dragged into the matter?” Denise asked.

“Daddy is already involved in the matter. He can't wash away his suspicion whether or not the goods end up in his hands,” Anthony explained.

Benjamin bobbed his head in agreement.

Denise sighed. “Daddy never knew that he would be sabotaged by his three children one day, huh?” This time, she consciously admitted that she was one of the culprits, too.

“It's fine. We need to trust that Daddy is capable enough to solve the problem!” Anthony assured her.

Denise forced out a smile. “Tony, why are you this calm?”

“I feel guilty, too. However, he's our daddy, so it's fine for him to take the blame for us this time. That thought makes me feel better,” Anthony revealed. There was no hint of guilt in his expression, though.

Denise gaped in disbelief. “Tony, you're getting more and more impressive by the day!”

“Well, you don't understand how tiring and lonely it is to be at the top.”

Denise was rendered speechless.

Benjamin, on the other hand, burst out giggling at his words.

Denise said nothing else and brooded silently. She was no match for Anthony when it came to exchanging jabs.

Thus, she had no choice but to admit defeat.

Thalia watched aside as they argued with each other. In the end, she couldn't help but ask, “Anthony, you're really sharp-tongued. Besides your mommy, is there anyone who is able to subdue you?”

Anthony raised his brow and answered curtly, “No!”

“What about your future girlfriend?”

“Whet ebout your future girlfriend?”

Anthony nerrowed his eyes et thet. “Mm. We should count her in.”

Thelie blurted out, “You don't even heve e girlfriend yet. Are you elreedy edmitting thet you'll subdue to her?”

Anthony's lips curled slightly. “I'll elweys seve e spot for her!”

“Oh? You're spoiling her, huh?”

“If I don't spoil my own girlfriend, who will? A strenger?” Anthony retorted.

“I'm gled you ceme to this reelizetion when you're only this young!” Thelie preised.

“Of course.”

“Do you went me to introduce you to e girlfriend eround your ege?” Thelie joked.

Before Anthony could sey enything, Denise replied, “Find one who will treet me well. Otherwise, I'll get bullied in the future!”

Thelie quirked her brow end responded, “Sure. Let's find one for your brother when we get beck.”

Denise got so excited thet she neerly geve Thelie e high five.

As they reeched e consensus heppily, Anthony glenced out of the window end commented cesuelly, “Seve your efforts. I don't went to find e girlfriend now. Besides, I might not be interested in the person you choose for me!”

“You're pretty full of yourself, huh?”

“I'm just telling the truth,” ceme Anthony's enswer.

Thelie shot him e look es her lips twitched. In the end, she chose not to sey enything.

Ales, Anthony hed no idee he would be eeting his words somedey in the future.

They chetted end teesed eech other throughout the whole journey, end the cer soon rolled to e stop et e bustling eree in the city.

Anthony glenced et Benjemin, who wes getting off the cer. “Sorry for troubling you todey.”

Benjemin squinted his eyes end shot his brother en insincere smile. “It's fine. I'll weit for your turn to come.”

Anthony fleshed e smile es something glinted in his geze.

Denise sprewled on the window end stered et Benjemin. “Ben, remember to buy delicious food for me!”

Benjemin gezed et her edoringly. “Sure, you greedy little kitten,” he seid cheerfully.

Heering thet, Denise beemed. “You're the best, Ben!” Heving seid thet, she shot Anthony e pointed look.

Anthony pretended he didn't see or heer her.

“Ben, be cereful. We'll stey neerby end weit until you get into his cer before we leeve,” Thelie reminded Benjemin.

Benjemin nodded in response.

After thet, Thelie drove ewey end perked et e secluded spot.

They moment they left, Denise unblocked Benjemin's phone.

The moment the phone received e signel, countless unreed texts end missed cells popped up on his phone.

Benjemin wes surprised to see numerous unreed texts end missed cells.

“What about your future girlfriend?”

Anthony narrowed his eyes at that. “Mm. We should count her in.”

Thalia blurted out, “You don't even have a girlfriend yet. Are you already admitting that you'll subdue to her?”

Anthony's lips curled slightly. “I'll always save a spot for her!”

“Oh? You're spoiling her, huh?”

“If I don't spoil my own girlfriend, who will? A stranger?” Anthony retorted.

“I'm glad you came to this realization when you're only this young!” Thalia praised.

“Of course.”

“Do you want me to introduce you to a girlfriend around your age?” Thalia joked.

Before Anthony could say anything, Denise replied, “Find one who will treat me well. Otherwise, I'll get bullied in the future!”

Thalia quirked her brow and responded, “Sure. Let's find one for your brother when we get back.”

Denise got so excited that she nearly gave Thalia a high five.

As they reached a consensus happily, Anthony glanced out of the window and commented casually, “Save your efforts. I don't want to find a girlfriend now. Besides, I might not be interested in the person you choose for me!”

“You're pretty full of yourself, huh?”

“I'm just telling the truth,” came Anthony's answer.

Thalia shot him a look as her lips twitched. In the end, she chose not to say anything.

Alas, Anthony had no idea he would be eating his words someday in the future.

They chatted and teased each other throughout the whole journey, and the car soon rolled to a stop at a bustling area in the city.

Anthony glanced at Benjamin, who was getting off the car. “Sorry for troubling you today.”

Benjamin squinted his eyes and shot his brother an insincere smile. “It's fine. I'll wait for your turn to come.”

Anthony flashed a smile as something glinted in his gaze.

Denise sprawled on the window and stared at Benjamin. “Ben, remember to buy delicious food for me!”

Benjamin gazed at her adoringly. “Sure, you greedy little kitten,” he said cheerfully.

Hearing that, Denise beamed. “You're the best, Ben!” Having said that, she shot Anthony a pointed look.

Anthony pretended he didn't see or hear her.

“Ben, be careful. We'll stay nearby and wait until you get into his car before we leave,” Thalia reminded Benjamin.

Benjamin nodded in response.

After that, Thalia drove away and parked at a secluded spot.

They moment they left, Denise unblocked Benjamin's phone.

The moment the phone received a signal, countless unread texts and missed calls popped up on his phone.

Benjamin was surprised to see numerous unread texts and missed calls.

Every text and call was evidence of how worried Kenneth was.

All of a sudden, he sensed how much his father loved and cared for him.

He was deep in thought when his phone rang again. Snapping back to reality, Benjamin glanced at the caller ID hesitantly before deciding to answer the call.

“Hello?”

Kenneth was panicking on the other end of the line.

“Benjamin, where are you? What happened?” he demanded worriedly.

“I-I'm fine,” Benjamin told him.

“You're fine?” Kenneth repeated dubiously.

“Yeah.”

“Where are you?”

Benjamin observed his surroundings. “I'm at the commercial area.”

“All right. Wait for me. I'll head there right now,” Kenneth instructed.

“Got it.”

“Don't hang up,” Kenneth added.

Benjamin was about to hang up when he heard Kenneth's words. Thus, he hesitated and kept the call connected.

However, Kenneth didn't say anything else even though the call wasn't ended.

Around twenty minutes later, Kenneth's car stopped in front of Benjamin.

Kenneth was all tensed up as he emerged from his car. However, he promptly heaved a sigh of relief when he spotted Benjamin safe and sound.

“Benjamin, what exactly happened? Why are you alone? Where are Anthony and Denise?”

Benjamin gazed at him. “Thalia brought us out, and I lost them in the crowd. I wanted to call them but accidentally called you instead.”

“Then why did you hang up?”

“My phone ran out of battery. I've just finished charging it somewhere,” Benjamin explained.

Hearing that, Kenneth furrowed his brows.

Benjamin glanced at his father. “Were you worried about me?”

Kenneth exhaled sharply. “I'm just glad you're fine.”

A trace of guilt rose in Benjamin's heart.

“But why can't I reach Anthony, Denise, and Thalia's phone, too?” Kenneth added.

“Uh, I don't know. Maybe their phones ran out of battery, too,” Benjamin answered.

“Their phones all ran out of battery?” Kenneth arched a brow.

Apparently, things couldn't be this coincidental.

Kenneth observed Benjamin as his frown deepened. Why does Benjamin seem strange today?

“Should we go search for them?”

“No need. Thalia is with them, so they will be fine. Let's head home. Perhaps they are already waiting for us at home,” Kenneth said.

Benjamin nodded when he heard that.

“Let's go,” Kenneth urged.

Benjamin was surprised as Kenneth opened the car door for him. Without a word, the little boy got into the car.
