Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

Anthony's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

Did she notice something?

He asked her, “What's not right?”

“I keep forgetting to ask you. Why did Nat come all the way here by herself? Also, why did she have to be so stealthy about it?” asked Thalia.

“Uh, didn't I tell you?”

“If you already told me, will I still ask?” Thalia asked in return.

“Oh.”

Thalia looked at him. “What do you mean 'Oh?' Tell me!”

Anthony explained resignedly, “As a beautiful woman, can't you be more gentle like Nat?”

When she heard that, she questioned, “Are you sure that Nat is gentle?”

“I think... she is quite gentle!”

“Are you blinded by your love for her? Or did you forget what Nat did in the hospital?” Thalia queried.

Anthony couldn't agree with her. “She was forced by someone!”

“I was forced by you, too!” retorted Thalia.

Anthony was rendered speechless.

“What? Isn't that the truth?”

“How am I capable of doing so?”

“Don't underestimate yourself. You are indeed capable!”

Anthony looked at her and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only flash her a wide smile. “Whatever you say.”

Thalia snorted victoriously.

That was the first time she defeated Anthony in a war of words. It felt great.

She leaned back lazily and looked at the boy with arrogance. “Say it!”

“Say what?”

Her eyes narrowed into slits. “Anthony Watson, if you're acting dumb again, don't blame me for being rude!”

“How are you going to be rude?”

“So, you're forcing me to pull out my trump card?”

Anthony stared at her, looking forward to what her trump card was.

Thalia bobbed her head, rolled up her sleeves, and stood up.

She took a glance at Benjamin, who was sitting beside them, and said, “Get out of the way, Benjamin, so that you don't get splattered with blood!”

Benjamin immediately got up and gave way. “Make it fast, or I'll feel sorry for him as his brother.”

Anthony looked at Benjamin in disbelief. “How can you say that?”

“You brought this upon yourself, so you'll have to face the consequences!” After finishing his sentence, Benjamin immediately went and sat opposite them.

“Just you wait, Benjamin!” said Anthony.

Benjamin merely arched a brow and didn't care.

When Anthony was about to say something, Thalia interrupted him, “Stop looking at him! You should worry about yourself.”

Anthony turned and saw that Thalia was already sitting beside him.

“What are you going to do?” he asked.

She stared at him, and in the next second, she suddenly reached out her hands to tickle the boy.

He didn't see that coming at all and jumped up from his seat.

“H-How did you know this?” he asked with a bewildered expression.

Thalia felt very pleased of herself when she saw his reaction.

“What do you think of my trump card?”

At that moment, Anthony looked at his brother.

Sensing his glare, Benjamin immediately defended himself, “It wasn't me! I won't do something like that!”

“If it isn't you... Could it be, Denise?” Anthony guessed.

Only Nat, Benjamin, and Denise know about this. Nat won't tell, Benjamin doesn't lie, so it must be Denise who always uses this trump card to “beg” me.

Anthony looked at Thalia and asked, “Did Denise tell you?”

Thalia looked down at her slender hands and asked, “Does it matter? You're not afraid of me when I'm holding a knife and pointing it at you, but you're afraid of me when I'm not even holding a weapon. That's amazing.”

Anthony was rendered speechless.

Thalia looked at him and asked, “So, what do you think? Do you want to try again?”

No matter how angry Anthony was, he had to endure it.

“N-No need!” he replied.

She smiled and felt extremely satisfied.

“Come, sit!” She beckoned him over with her finger.

“It's okay. I'll just sit next to Benjamin,” said Anthony.

At that moment, Thalia looked at him and put on a smile that didn't reach her eyes. “I said, sit.”

He had no choice but to do as told when he saw her threatening smile. Hence, he walked over and sat down next to her.

As soon as she raised her hand, he jumped and reflexively lifted his arm to block her.

She said, “Don't be so anxious. I won't do anything to you.”

“Are you sure?” he asked uncertainly.

“Of course. As long as you are obedient, I won't bully you!” Thalia sounded like the cunning wolf in The Little Red Riding Hood.

“Thalia, I have something I don't know if I should say or not!”

“Go ahead.”

“What you're doing is immoral, and you won by playing dirty!” he said, hoping that she still had a little bit of a competitive streak left in her.

“So?” she asked.

“What you're doing is too insulting to your title as one of the best hackers in Darknetz! It lowers your status!”

“So?” she asked.

“What you're doing is too insulting to your title as one of the best hackers in Darknetz! It lowers your status!”

She smiled coldly and looked at the boy. “It doesn't matter, because it's just a title. Besides, if I keep you under control, you'd give me anything I want!”

Anthony was rendered speechless.

“Am I right?” Thalia asked.

“Can I say no?”

“Try me!” After saying that, Thalia stretched out her slender hands again and bent her fingers. Her beautiful nails looked very threatening.

Anthony fell silent.

Forget it. I must know how to adapt to the situation, and now's not a good time to be going against her.

He took a deep breath and looked at her. “How would I say no? I'm just joking.”

She curled her lips, satisfied to hear that. “Yup, that's more like it. What a good boy. Remember to behave like this in the future!”

He took another deep breath to keep his emotions in check.

“Okay, time to eat!” she said.

Anthony had no choice but to accept his fate. As he picked up his cutleries and began to eat, he saw Benjamin's gloating expression. He then narrowed his eyes as a warning, but Benjamin arched an eyebrow and completely ignored his brother.

After all, it was rare for Anthony to act so cowardly. Benjamin reminded himself to keep that scene etched in his mind so he could tell Denise about it.

As the two brothers were glaring at each other, Thalia suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Anthony. “Oh yeah, what were we talking about earlier?”

Anthony went silent and gave Thalia a side glance. Oh no, I thought she forgot, but she's bringing this up again!

Thalia pondered for a while before saying, “We were talking about why Nat came here, right? Please continue!”

Knowing that there was no way to avoid it, Anthony cleared his throat and was thinking about what to say. Suddenly, he had an idea and glanced at Benjamin, who was sitting across from him. “Benjamin, why don't you tell her?”

Benjamin lifted his head and looked at them when he heard that.

At that moment, Anthony looked at his brother with an amicable smile, and his eyes were full of mischief.

Benjamin glanced at him, knowing that he did it on purpose.
