Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379

Even though a gun was pointed at her, Thalia remained silent and fearless. Not only that, but a smug smile also even formed on her red lips.

Her gaze turned sharp as she asked, “Do you really think you can kill me, Kenneth?”

“What do you think?” Kenneth raised his gun. His black eyes appeared as though it was covered under a layer of ice.

“Fine, go ahead and try.” She shot him a provoking stare.

His finger slowly pulled back the trigger. Just as he was about to fire, a voice rang out behind him.

“Daddy.”

Both Kenneth and Thalia turned to the origin of the voice the moment they heard that. They frowned when they saw the boys.

“Why are you two here?” she questioned.

“Were you expecting us to watch you two fight?” Anthony turned his unfathomable gaze toward his father. “Besides, I bet Daddy's doing it to force us to come out. Am I right, Daddy?”

Kenneth stared at his children silently with a complicated look in his dark eyes.

He was shocked, but the moment he saw them, he was also very calm, because he expected it to happen.

It was then Benjamin spoke up. “Daddy, this matter has nothing to do with Thalia. It was our idea. If you have any problems, you can confront us about it.”

Seeing how eager they were to protect Thalia, Kenneth narrowed his eyes and questioned, “Don't you know what kind of person Thalia is and what she does?”

“Daddy, since you already have your suspicions, you should know the people who showed up that night were us!” Anthony admitted.

Kenneth was stunned.

“We know what kind of person Thalia is because... we're the same as her,” Benjamin uttered word by word.

Kenneth's eyes narrowed even further. “You two joined Darknetz?”

“Yes!” Since the truth had been exposed, Benjamin found no reason to keep hiding and nodded.

Kenneth turned to face Thalia. “You did this?”

Thalia was a rebellious person. She wasn't the one who did it, but as long as she could piss him off, even if it posed a great risk to her, she had to admit it. “Yes!”

“How dare you do this to two children!” Rage filled his heart as he aimed his gun at her again.

Anthony quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Thalia. “Daddy, this has nothing to do with Thalia!”

Anger had blinded Kenneth. “Step aside, Anthony.”

“No!” The boy shook his head.

“No!” The boy shook his head.

Kenneth stared at his son with furrowed eyebrows.

Benjamin also walked toward Thalia, stood in front of her, and stared at his father.

Thalia was touched by the boys' actions as she gazed at them. While she knew Kenneth wasn't going to do anything to them, there was an indescribable feeling inside her heart as she saw the boys protecting her like that. It made her feel her efforts so far hadn't gone to waste.

Upon raising her eyes, she saw Kenneth's darkened expression, which made her feel happy. She stepped forward and pushed the boys aside before speaking to their father. “All right, that's enough. Children shouldn't get involved in adult matters. I did this, Kenneth, and I'll take responsibility for it. I don't want to hurt your relationship with your boys, so I'm willing to resolve the matter your way.”

“Thalia!” Anthony turned back to face her.

“Shut up!” she exclaimed while still staring at Kenneth.

The gun was still in Kenneth's hand as he gazed at them. Like an elegant cheetah waiting to spring into action, the lean muscles of his arms were coiled tightly. It was clear he was not to be underestimated.

“What if I say I want to take your life?” he asked.

“I'm afraid you can't do that!” Thalia retorted.

“Hah!” he sneered.

They were still at each other's throats.

It was then Benjamin walked over to Kenneth and planted himself in front of his father. Tugging on the latter's shirt, he said, “Daddy, you said before that you'll agree to do anything I ask you to do. I'm telling you to let Thalia go now. You can't fight with her!”

The man lowered his darkened eyes to stare at his son. “Why?”

“Because Tony and I will feel guilty for the rest of our lives if either of you got hurt!”

“Will you, if I'm the one who got hurt?” Kenneth examined him.

“You are our daddy, so we won't let anything happen to you. Besides, Thalia isn't going to attack you!”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes!”

Kenneth lifted his head, glanced at Anthony, then at Thalia.

Moments later, he put away the gun. “Okay, I'll listen to you.”

Benjamin was stunned for a second before he stared at his father in disbelief. “Really?”

He turned back to look at the similarly flabbergasted Anthony.

“Are you telling the truth, Daddy?” Benjamin asked.

“Do I look like I'm kidding?” Kenneth raised his eyebrow.

Benjamin looked at him with a smile. It was a genuine smile that came from the bottom of his heart. As though their blood relation had started a chain reaction, he found himself liking his father more without consciously realizing it. “Thank you, Daddy.”

Kenneth's hand suddenly stretched toward the boy's head before patting it.

The boy smiled, though his eyebrows were slightly furrowed when he saw his father holstering the gun.

“You two still need to give me an explanation as to what you were doing!” Kenneth demanded.

Of course, Benjamin knew there was no escaping it, so he nodded. “Okay. We will.”

He then approached Anthony and shot him a look. When Anthony saw that, his eyes narrowed. The younger boy arrived next to the older one and whispered, “We were tricked.”

“What do you mean?”

“There's no bullet in Daddy's gun.”

Anthony was stunned. “Are you sure?”

“I can tell from the way he holstered the gun. I'm very sure there aren't any bullets inside.”

Anthony swept his gaze over his brother. While he wasn't sure how his brother could tell, he felt that information was trustworthy.

“Daddy did that to force us to show up and give him an explanation!” Anthony said.

“It all depends on you from now on,” Benjamin uttered.

“It's pretty obvious that whatever you said had a significant effect on Daddy. It seems like he's biased toward you right now.” Anthony's eyebrows furrowed.

“But I'm not good at making things up.”

“And I am?”

“What do you think?” A faint smile appeared on Benjamin's face.

“Are you being polite?”

Thalia frowned when she saw the boys muttering with each other. “What are you two talking about?”

Anthony turned to his father and approached him.

As for Benjamin, he turned to Thalia and whispered, “The gun Daddy was pointing at you just now doesn't have any bullets in them. We suspect Daddy did it on purpose.”

Thalia raised her head to look at Kenneth, her eyes filled with doubt. “How is that possible? Your daddy wanted to kill me very badly earlier. Besides, how do you know there are no bullets inside?”

“I can tell!”


“Are you telling the truth, Doddy?” Benjomin osked.

“Do I look like I'm kidding?” Kenneth roised his eyebrow.

Benjomin looked ot him with o smile. It wos o genuine smile thot come from the bottom of his heort. As though their blood relotion hod storted o choin reoction, he found himself liking his fother more without consciously reolizing it. “Thonk you, Doddy.”

“You two still need to give me on explonotion os to whot you were doing!” Kenneth demonded.

Of course, Benjomin knew there wos no escoping it, so he nodded. “Okoy. We will.”

“It oll depends on you from now on,” Benjomin uttered.

Tholio frowned when she sow the boys muttering with eoch other. “Whot ore you two tolking obout?”

“I con tell!”
