Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399

At that moment, both Anthony and Benjamin looked at her simultaneously.

“What does that mean?” Anthony questioned.

Benjamin also kept his eyes trained on Thalia with puzzlement and anticipation.

Thalia pondered for a moment and slowly said, “I know someone from Vermillion Base. I can try and see if I can get some info.”

The two brothers were excited to hear that.

“You know someone there?”

“Kind of. I rescued him when I was on a mission a few years ago. He is very grateful to me and even insisted on getting my contact information. I can't say no, so I gave him my number... But I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, so I don't know if I can still reach him.” Thalia took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts.

Anthony and Benjamin watched expectantly.

After a while, Thalia narrowed her eyes at one of the contact numbers. “I found it.”

The two brothers stared at her quietly.

Thalia looked at the number. “It should be this one. I'll make a call first and see if I can get through!”

When Thalia was about to make the call, Anthony suddenly grabbed her hand.

“What's wrong?” Thalia asked.

Anthony stared at the woman, wondering what he should say.

Then, he asked, “Thalia, are you sure you want to be a part of this?”

Although they were members of the same organization, they had only known each other for a while. Thalia had already helped him a lot, but the situation this time was different. Their opponent was not just any typical bad guy, but a group of vicious villains.

If something happened, Thalia will definitely get into trouble, and even...

Thalia's lips curved to form a smile. “What do you mean?”

“You have helped us a lot, but this time, our opponents are people from Vermillion Base. You know the stakes better than I do,” said Anthony.

“So you're saying that I'm only capable of defeating ordinary people and not the powerful ones?” Thalia asked.

“This isn't what I meant!”

“If it isn't, then shut up!”

“Thalia, I just want you to think clearly because I'm afraid that you will... regret it,” said Anthony.

“Regret? How would I know I'd regret it if I haven't even done it?”

“That's why I want you to think it through!” Anthony said.

“Then I'm done thinking!” said Thalia.

Anthony was speechless and confused.

“So, can I make the call now?” asked Thalia.

Anthony said, “You're too rash!”

“Anthony Watson, since when have you become such a coward?”

“I'm not a coward!”

“Of course you are!” said Thalia. She then suddenly thought of something and questioned, “What's wrong? Are you moved by my kindness and feel guilty for the way you treated me?”

Anthony was dumbstruck for a moment before a hint of embarrassment flashed across his immature face. “No. I just don't think it has anything to do with you, and I'm afraid that you'll get into trouble because of us...”

At that moment, Thalia saw a word written all over his face.

Duplicity.

She leaned over and stared at him. “Oh, really?”

“Of course!”

“Get into trouble? Ha, I eat trouble for breakfast since the day I met you, so you don't have to worry about that. Don't you think it's a little too late for you to be saying that?” she asked.

Anthony said, “You can't put it like that...”

“Then how should I put it?”

Anthony looked at her and suddenly had no idea what to say.

Nevertheless, he knew that Thalia was just saying that to shut him up.

Thalia said with a smile, “Also, if you're really touched, then treat me nicely. When I'm old, the three of you must look after me.”

Even though he was really moved, Anthony was a stubborn person. “If the three of us are going to look after you, then what about your child? What should he or she do?”

“Who said I'll have a child?” Thalia asked.

A bitter smile appeared on Thalia's face as she continued, “How can I have a child if I can't even find a man right now?”

While Anthony was thinking about how he should reply to that, Thalia looked at him and said, “Okay, stop dilly-dallying. Are you letting me make the phone call or not? If not, then I really don't care anymore!”

Anthony stared at her and finally let go of her after moments of hesitation.

Thalia smiled and made the call.

Anthony and Benjamin watched while holding their breaths in anticipation.

A series of beeping sounds came from the phone.

“I can still get through!” said Thalia.

The two brothers' eyes flashed with joy.

They then continued to wait until the phone was connected after three to four beeps.

“Hello? Is this my savior?”

Thalia smiled when she heard someone speaking. “That's me.”

Thalia smiled when she heard someone speaking. “That's me.”

The two communicated in Capstonese. Anthony and Benjamin, who were beside her, watched nervously while clenching their fists.

After a brief conversation, Thalia hung up the phone.

Anthony looked at her. “I didn't expect you to know how to speak Capstonese!”

“I have to learn everything in this line of work, and these are just the basics. I am not very proficient in Capstonese, though. I only know some simple dialogue,” said Thalia.

“So what did he say?” Anthony asked.

“It's quite inconvenient to talk about these on the phone, so I asked him to meet me tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Anthony nodded. “That's true. What we know about Vermillion Base is only one-sided, and we don't know what's going on at all. It is the safest this way!”

Thalia looked at him. “So, what do you think? Am I useful?”

Anthony started flattering her again. “Of course. Your existence has always been important.”

Thalia threw him a glare. “I see, so you're only praising me because I helped you, right?”

Anthony beamed and felt like worshipping Thalia. “I'm not praising you! I'm merely stating the truth!”

Anthony was indeed impressive, for his words could anger people and please people at the same time.

Thalia glanced at him, “Ha, what a smooth talker. Are all men like that?”

When she was about to continue eating, she noticed Benjamin staring at her.

She asked, “What's wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Benjamin shook his head.

“Then why are you staring at me?” Thalia asked.

“I just wanted to tell you that not all men are the same.”

Thalia was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. She then said with a smile, “Of course. You're nothing like your brother.”

Benjamin nodded with satisfaction. “Yup.”

Knowing that they were criticizing him indirectly, Anthony spoke. "We came from the same womb, so what's the difference?”

“All children are different. You are exactly like Kenneth, but Benjamin is like Nat, who is serious and dedicated.” Thalia grinned while looking at Benjamin as if he was a rare treasure.

Benjamin looked at Thalia and said after contemplating, “In the future, whether you have children or not, I will look after you when you're old.”
