Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421

“Because he doesn't have the necessary requirements to compete with you!” Anthony interrupted before Benjamin could finish speaking.

At that, Benjamin couldn't help scoffing inwardly.

How fearful was he that I'd expose him? Oh well, I'll let him resolve it himself since it's his business!

He lowered his eyes, planning to listen to the conversation as he ate.

“What do you mean by that?” Kenneth pressed, his eyes fixated on Anthony.

“Well...” Anthony racked his brain for an apt description.

“Is he not a man?” Kenneth interjected.

At once, Benjamin burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, Anthony was dumbstruck.

He shot a glare at Benjamin, who pretended as though he didn't see it.

Kenneth's eyes remained pinned on them. “Why, is there a problem?”

Jolting back to reality, Anthony shook his head at the man. “No...” After musing for a moment, he clarified, “It has nothing to do with gender.”

“What else is there other than gender?” Kenneth riposted.

Hearing that, Benjamin couldn't resist chiming in at the side, “Actually, Daddy, gender isn't a problem anymore now.”

Looking at him, Kenneth mulled it over seriously for a while before nodding solemnly. “You're right. But Nat's sexual orientation should be heterosexual. I can still tell that much.”

Both Anthony and Benjamin went speechless.

What else can we say?

“So, what exactly are the requirements he lack?” Kenneth insisted, staring at them intently.

Verily, Anthony didn't quite know what to say.

Benjamin, on the other hand, arched a brow and waited to see how he was going to salvage things.

“Well?”

“For instance, age, height, and some force majeure elements... Anyway, Daddy, don't worry. Anonymous is absolutely not a threat to you,” Anthony maintained.

“Can age and height still be an issue when even gender doesn't matter anymore?” Kenneth countered.

Anthony gaped at him.

What else can I say? It seems that I have no way of salvaging this matter without revealing my identity now.

As Kenneth clocked his hesitance, understanding seemingly dawned upon him. “Okay, I understand now. You're not supposed to speak of him.”

“Actually, it's not that, Daddy.”

Out of the blue, Kenneth gazed at them solemnly and asked, “Is Nat with Anonymous right now?”

Anthony stared at him for a long while. In the end, he shook his head. “No.”

Seeing that they both appeared serious, Kenneth nodded. “Got it.”

The two boys wanted to speak further when Kenneth suddenly put his cutlery down and looked right at them. “I'm done eating. You two can take your time. After eating, you can roam around here, but don't sneak out. Do you hear me?” he queried.

When Anthony saw the man getting to his feet and leaving, he instantly inquired, “Where are you going, Daddy?”

“I'm going to look for Nat!” Kenneth replied without a backward glance.

Watching as his figure disappeared from the dining room, Anthony mumbled, “Did Daddy misunderstand?”

He turned to Benjamin, only to see that the latter was eating leisurely. His brows creased. “You're still in the mood to eat?”

“Why wouldn't I be in the mood to eat when this has nothing to do with me?” While saying that, Benjamin continued eating with relish.

Anthony remained frowning. “What do you mean this has nothing to do with you?”

“You're Anonymous, not me. If you're worried that Daddy misunderstood, go and explain things to him!”

“I wanted to lay my cards on the table earlier, but he cut me off,” Anthony argued.

“If you really wanted to do so, could he have stopped you?” Benjamin retorted.

Anthony was so irked that his brows scrunched deeply together. “I just couldn't bring myself to admit it right then.”

“Then, just let Daddy misunderstand Mommy,” Benjamin drawled.

In regard to that matter, he wasn't at all bothered.

Anthony glowered at him, his frown deepening.

If I were to simply tell him about it, I would appear to be bragging somehow.

After turning it over in his mind, he decided to tell Kenneth the truth when there was a suitable opportunity.

When they had finished eating, Anthony and Benjamin wandered around the castle. Precisely speaking, they were observing the surroundings and searching for Kenneth to pry information out of him.

Alas, all they encountered were the housekeepers. Neither did they make any discoveries.

Anthony had his phone in hand and glanced at his chatroom with Natasha every so often, but ultimately, there wasn't a single message from the latter.

His emotions were a jumbled mess.

He had already attained his goal of staying, but Kenneth had forbidden them to leave the castle.

“Do you have any idea?” Anthony queried, turning to Benjamin beside him.

“Yup!” Benjamin crowed.

Anthony turned to face him entirely.

Right then, Benjamin's gaze was on the figure a near distance away. He jerked his chin, motioning for his brother to follow his gaze.

When Anthony caught sight of Dave, his brows furrowed.

“We'll know if we go and ask him!” Benjamin suggested.

“Will that work?”

“Why not? Don't forget that we're just children!” As Benjamin said that, he took the lead and went over.

Anthony continued frowning as he stared at his brother's back.

He's always touted as mature and steady, but in reality, I know that he's the most reckless of us all! Thalia's judgment is really terrible!

Despite the thoughts running through his mind, he followed suit.

A stone's throw away, Dave alighted from the car. Benjamin trotted over to him. “Hello, Mr. Dave.”

Dave glanced back over his shoulder. When he spotted the two children, a strange look flashed across his eyes.

He would be lying if he were to claim that he wasn't envious. How I wish I suddenly had children of their age!

Gazing at them, Dave asked, “You're... Benjamin?”

Benjamin nodded. “Your memory is impressive, Mr. Dave.”

Beaming, Dave reached out and patted him on the head. Then, he couldn't help lamenting, “Kenneth is truly blessed. He's always a step ahead in everything.”

“What did you just say, Mr. Dave?”

Dave immediately flashed him a smile. “Nothing. What are you both doing here?”

“We're looking for Daddy, but we can't get through to him. We have no idea where he went,” Benjamin answered.

“You're looking for him, huh? Come, I'll bring you two along!” Dave offered.

Thus, Anthony and Benjamin instantly followed him after exchanging a look.

When Dave led them into the house, Benjamin asked, “Daddy is here? Did he not leave?”

“Yup, he's here! You'll know in a while!” Dave went upstairs while saying that.

Anthony and Benjamin followed closely behind.

They made several turns before they finally arrived at Dave's room. Anthony and Benjamin both frowned after stepping into the room.

“Why did you bring us here, Mr. Dave?” Anthony questioned.

Dave merely smiled without saying anything. He opened the door to the hidden room. The moment Anthony and Benjamin saw that there was a secret mechanism, a glimmer of puzzlement flittered across their eyes.

Dave turned to look at them. “Let's go!”

Snapping back to their senses, the two brothers promptly followed after the man.

Only when they had reached the hidden room and seen the equipment and computers did understanding dawn upon Anthony that it was the defense net they set up.

There were quite a number of people inside, and they were all busy in front of the computers.

Seeing that, Anthony scanned his gaze over them one by one.

When his gaze alighted a particular man, his lips curved into a smirk.
