Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Thinking About Possibilities

Benjamin, Anthony, and Denise sneaked into the room.

“If Mr. Lynch is acting like that, does it mean he’s chasing after Mommy?” Benjamin asked.

Denise nodded. “That’s how things usually play out in the television show.”

Anthony didn’t say anything because it was pretty obvious.

“What do we do? Do we go along with it or stop it?” Benjamin asked.

The other two stayed silent.

“Why aren’t you two saying anything?” Benjamin asked.

“Err, I quite like Mr. Lynch. He’s so handsome. But… I also like Mr. Handsome. What if he’s Daddy? I don’t know who to pick.” Denise was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Benjamin wasn’t counting on Denise to get an answer, so he turned to Anthony. “What about you, Tony?”

“I’m neither going along nor against it,” Anthony replied.

“What does that mean?”

“Putting aside the fact that we don’t know if Kenneth is our daddy or not, even if he is, why did Mommy leave him in the first place? If Mommy really doesn’t like him, do we really want to make her stay with him because it’ll make us happy? As for Mr. Lynch, if he can make Mommy happy and is stronger than Daddy, then I’ll accept him.” Anthony had really thought things through, as expected from the eldest sibling.

Benjamin nodded. “I understand what you mean.”

“So, we’ll see who Mommy picks. Regardless of who it is, as long as Mommy likes him, I’ll accept him.” Anthony expressed his opinion.

Benjamin nodded. “I agree with that.”

Denise thought for a bit and also nodded. “I agree too.”

Benjamin turned to Denise. “I know you like Kenneth, and whether he’s our daddy or not isn’t a fact we can change. You can continue to like him, but don’t force them together because of what we want. It won’t be good for anyone involved.”

“I understand.” Denise nodded.

Then Benjamin turned to Anthony. “Still no news from Kyle, Tony?”

“He’s on a mission, so I can’t contact him for now. I’ll try again later.”

“The suspense is really killing me,” Benjamin sighed. He had been thinking about it every day.

Anthony didn’t say anything because he was feeling the same way.

Denise was obviously even more anxious.

Inside the living room, Zachary stared at Natasha’s swelling ankle and asked, “Did you apply ointment on it?”

“Yes. Anthony applies it for me every day,” she replied.

He smiled when Anthony was being brought up. “He’s a composed, obedient, and thoughtful child.”

Natasha didn’t deny it because Anthony was the most mature and quiet of the three, but he was also the one who worried her the most.

Zachary thought about something and asked, “Are they Kenneth’s children?”

Natasha was stunned when she heard that and turned to look at him. A flabbergasted look flashed across her clear eyes before she asked, “Is it that obvious?”

That was undoubtedly a “yes” to Zachary’s question.

“It’s not obvious. I never thought about it like that, but after seeing him today at your office and how he treated you… It’s hard not to make the connection between you two. Besides, Anthony looks like a mini version of him,” he replied.

Natasha didn’t deny it nor provide an explanation.

Zachary pressed on. “He also doesn’t know the existence of the kids, does he?”

She nodded. “How do you know?”

“When I was heading downstairs, Kenneth was waiting for me. He asked me what’s my relationship with you, and I connected the dots in my mind.”

“You didn’t tell him, did you?” Natasha asked.
