Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419

Anthony and Benjamin exchanged a look before they glanced back over their shoulders helplessly.

As they stared at Kenneth behind them, they both nudged each other, signaling the other to speak.

Right then, Kenneth lifted his eyes and pinned his gaze on them. He murmured, “Well?”

“Of course, we're eating!” Anthony asserted with a smile.

Subsequently, they both headed over to the man.

Just when they had reached him, Anthony abruptly clutched his stomach. “Oh, no! My stomach hurts! You two go ahead and eat. I'll be back in a moment!”

After saying that, he sprinted off like an arrow without waiting for them to respond.

Left there all alone, Benjamin wavered between taking a seat and leaving.

Anthony Watson!

Inhaling deeply, he ventured, “I'm also—”

“Sit down!”

Following that, Benjamin plopped right down on the chair.

In the next instant, the housekeeper came with breakfast and placed it before Benjamin.

Kenneth continued eating his breakfast methodically, his movements exceedingly elegant with the knife and fork held in his long and slender fingers. He had his sleeves rolled up three-quarters, rendering his wrist an artwork beneath them.

At that very moment, he appeared just like those nobility on television.

Benjamin eyed him, having something to say yet hesitant to speak.

Just then, Kenneth cast a glance at him. “Are you not eating?”

Only then did Benjamin pick up his knife and fork and started eating as well.

Neither of them spoke, merely eating silently. Nonetheless, Benjamin knew that Kenneth must have something to say to him.

“How did you sleep last night?” Kenneth asked out of the blue.

“Terribly.”

At his answer, Kenneth lifted his eyes and looked at him. “Oh?”

“It's been a long time since I last shared a room with Tony. We fought over the blanket last night,” Benjamin replied.

When Kenneth heard that, the corners of his mouth turned up.

“Why did you arrange for me to share a room with him yesterday?” Benjamin questioned suddenly.

Speaking of that, Kenneth studied the little boy. “Is there a problem with that?”

“I think you've got something to say,” Benjamin remarked with his eyes trained on the man.

Instead of waiting for him to voice his questions, it's far better to take the reins and end this stalemate as soon as possible!

Sure enough, Kenneth studied him intently after he had said that.

Upon seeing that he was seemingly mulling it over, Benjamin knew that he had made the right choice.

A while later, Kenneth fixated his eyes on him. “Do you realize the gravity of the incident yesterday?”

Benjamin seemed to have surmised that he would bring that up. He pondered for a moment before admitting, “Yeah, I realize it now.”

At his easy admission, Kenneth's brows furrowed. “What did you realize, then?”

“The world is a dangerous place. As such, one has to be powerful enough. I've got to become stronger before I've got a say in things.”

Kenneth was promptly rendered speechless.

Contrarily, Benjamin wore a solemn expression on his face. “What's wrong?”

Kenneth took a deep breath. “Benjamin, I know the two of you might have learned plenty about the outside world with Thalia. It was your choice to join Darknetz, and I won't stop you from doing so. But regardless of that, you and Anthony are both my children. To me, your safety supersedes everything. Therefore, I can't disregard that.”

While listening, Benjamin nodded. “I know.”

“You're right in that one has to be powerful enough, and the incident yesterday proved that. Even if you both are sufficiently smart, you're still weak before absolute power. Thus, I hope the two of you only execute your plans if you can ensure your safety, no matter the situation.”

Benjamin merely stared at Kenneth without saying anything. He knew all those principles, but it was the first time someone ever laid it out for him so bluntly and clearly.

For a moment, he didn't quite know what to say.

“You may discount my feelings, but do you also not consider Nat's feelings? What is to become of her if something happens to either of you? And what is she to do?” Kenneth queried.

At once, Natasha's countenance popped into Benjamin's mind.

He was fully aware that she actually placed great emphasis on relationships despite appearing taciturn and indifferent. If something really happens to us... Verily, I can't imagine it.

At that instant, he was inexorably brought into an illusory atmosphere by the man.

After a brief pause, he murmured, “I understand what you mean now, Daddy. In the future, we'll first consider our safety at all times.”

It was only when Kenneth heard that did he nod in satisfaction.

“Then, I'll drive you both to the airport tonight after dinner,” he declared.

Benjamin was startled, his brows knitting together. “Huh? Why?”

Kenneth resumed eating without answering that.

Benjamin gaped at him. “Are you sending us home, Daddy?”

“Yup.” Kenneth nodded.

Anxiousness immediately seized Benjamin. “Daddy, you said so much just because you wanted to tell me you're sending us back?”

As though having anticipated his words, Kenneth uttered unhurriedly, “If Nat were here, she'd make the same decision as me.”

“But she already knows that we came over!” Benjamin blurted.

Hearing that, Kenneth was startled. “What did you just say?”

“We've spoken to her on the phone, and she knows we came over. While she also urged us to go back, she didn't force us to do so. Daddy, you can't do so when she didn't do so!” Benjamin enunciated with his eyes pinned on the man.

Kenneth regarded him with dubiousness written in his eyes. “You said, you spoke to her on the phone?”

“Yup! We even spoke to her twice!”

Kenneth's eyes abruptly narrowed into slits. “Calls can still get through to her phone?”

“She has probably set things up in a way that all incoming texts and calls are visible to her. But whether she's going to answer is a different story. We've been looking for her for a long time, and she only phoned us because she discovered that we had come over. But then, she disappeared again,” Benjamin explained.

All of a sudden, Kenneth chuckled coldly. “So, she can see all the incoming texts and calls, and it's a matter of whether she answers.”

Glimpsing the man's face that had turned furious and grim, Benjamin felt that he had probably stirred up trouble.

However, he couldn't be bothered about that at such a time. “Anyway, Daddy, I'm not going back. Neither will Tony agree to it. Even if you were to drive us to the airport, we'd figure out a way to escape. And even if you were to forcibly escort us back to Glenport City, we'd still make our way back here,” Benjamin announced resolutely.

Kenneth glowered at him.

Benjamin did the same, looking both worried and anxious. “Daddy, Nat is our mommy, so we're also terribly worried about her. If we can't find her, we can't stay at home with peace of mind. Hence, it's better to allow us to stay here than to have us wait endlessly. Perhaps we might be of help!” he argued.

“How can you both be of help?”

Just when Benjamin was going to answer, Anthony suddenly appeared from behind him. “We can help a lot. For instance, a few days ago, we found some leads about Nat's father, who's also our grandfather.”
