Chapter 305
Meanwhile, the three children were gathered in Benjamin's room.
Benjamin and Denise were talking about something or other while Anthony spaced out at the side.
At that particular moment, Denise swung her gaze at Anthony. “Tony?”
Snapping back to his senses, Anthony looked at them. “Huh?”
“What's wrong with you? You look distracted,” questioned Denise.
Speaking of that, Anthony frowned.
“Did you two notice that Mommy seems to be acting weird recently?”
“Weird? How so?”
“I can't quite put my finger on it either, but I can't shake off the feeling that there's something weighing on her mind,” Anthony replied.
“Indeed. Tonight, especially, she seems very much preoccupied!” Benjamin echoed.
Denise turned and glanced at him. “Really? She has been exceedingly tender tonight. She wouldn't stop smiling at us.”
“The problem is, when have you ever seen her being so tender?” Benjamin riposted.
At that, Denise was instantly dumbstruck.
Hmm, that makes sense. In the past, she had always given us a cool impression. Besides going to work and going to bed, she seldom cared about other matters. Even if we had dinner together, shed
return to her room to sleep after eating. Hever had she stayed and joked around with us, let alone gazed at us with such a tender look in her eyes.
Following that line of thought, she likewise sensed something amiss.
“Could it be that she changed a bit because something happened to the two of us?” Denise ventured, her eyes fixated on her brothers.
Benjamin said nothing, but his instinct screamed at him that the matter wasn't that simple.
Anthony, on the other hand, concluded, “That is indeed a possibility... No matter what, let's all keep an eye on her these few days!”
The other two children nodded in concert.
“All right, it's late now. Let's all sleep earlier!” Anthony urged.
“Good night!” Benjamin greeted.
Just as Anthony was going to leave, Denise grabbed him.
“What is it?” “Daddy and Nat are probably still outside!” Denise hissed.
“So?”
“Perhaps their relationship is developing rapidly at present. Aren't we going to ruin things if we were to go out now?” Denise uttered.
Hearing that, Anthony smacked her on the head. “What nonsense are you thinking about?”
“Am I wrong?”
“She's not an easy woman!” Anthony asserted.
“That has nothing to do with this. Daddy loves Mommy, and Mommy also has feelings for Daddy. Thus, physical intimacy between them is expected and natural!” Denise argued.
“How do you know that Nat has feelings for Daddy? Did she tell you that?” Anthony asked.
“I-I can tell! You know her temperament. If she had no feelings for him, she wouldn't have so much interaction with him. Although she didn't say anything, I could sense it!”
“Your judgment and instincts have always been dismal!” Anthony scoffed.
“This is a personal attack, Tony!”
“Nah, I'm just speaking the truth!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“I hate you!” Denise bellowed.
Upon seeing that they were bickering endlessly, Benjamin interjected, “All right, that's enough. The two of you are giving me a headache!”
The instant he spoke, Denise snapped her head at him. “What do you think, Ben?”
“Uh...” Benjamin never expected her to throw the question at him.
Lifting his eyes, he stole a peek at Anthony. No, I can't afford to offend him.
Then, he glanced at Denise. That goes double for her.
“Ben!” Denise stared at him.
Ultimately, Benjamin was defeated by her adorable face. After a moment's hesitation, he stammered, “Uh... I actually share Denise's sentiments. I also think that Mommy has a smidge of feelings for Daddy...”
As soon as Denise heard that, she jumped for joy. She then turned to Anthony smugly. “See? Ben feels the same way. The majority wins!”
Surprisingly, Anthony was calm and unruffled. That aside, he even sneered, “See? Only the weak need someone else to share the same sentiments. The strong never need anyone's affirmation!”
Both Denise and Benjamin were rendered speechless.
That single utterance placed them both on the losing end.
Seeing that neither of them was arguing further, Anthony arched an eyebrow triumphantly. “Good night, weaklings!” After saying that, he spun on his heel and walked out of the room elegantly.
“How arrogant!” Denise huffed.
“Exactly! He's simply too arrogant!” Benjamin seconded.
Denise then turned and glanced at Benjamin before declaring with her melodious voice, “I'll have Daddy teach him a lesson another day!” When she had finished saying that, she got up and left.
Benjamin couldn't help giggling aloud as he watched his siblings leave.
While he had been “oppressed” by Anthony for a long time, he had gotten used to it over time.
Most importantly, having dinner as a family tonight seems... pretty nice.
At that thought, he lay on the bed with a smile and closed his eyes in contentment, drifting into a deep slumber.
The next day, Kenneth found his arm numb when he woke up in the room.
Just when he was about to stretch it, he glimpsed the woman using his arm as a pillow as she slept. At once, he froze for a moment.
He recalled the events last night.
We chatted as we drank, deep into the night. In the end, we both dozed off as we talked.
Although nothing happened, their relationship was already different to him.
He studied her countenance as she slept. His gaze traveled over her fair skin to her rosy lips, prominent and dainty nose, and thick and long eyelashes. All of them highlighted her exquisite features.
She was already the mother of three children, but her supple skin was no different from that of a young lady in her early twenties.
As he gazed at her, he couldn't resist reaching out and caressing her face.
At that precise moment, Natasha opened her eyes. When she saw Kenneth, there was seemingly no surprise in her eyes.
“You're awake?” Kenneth inquired smilingly, with his eyes fixated on her.
“Nope. I still need to sleep for a while longer,” Natasha muttered lazily.
“Okay, go ahead and sleep for a while longer then. I'll go and prepare breakfast.”
“Okay,” Natasha murmured. Lifting her head off his arm, she rolled over and continued sleeping while hugging the covers.
The corners of Kenneth's lips curled to form a grin as he looked at her back.
She's indescribably cute when she's acting all coquettish. Who could imagine that she's Shadow Seeker, who has the entire hacker world going crazy ?
A flash of affection flitted across his eyes. He carefully retracted his arm and stretched it for a while before rolling out of bed.
After washing up, he opened the door and exited the room.
At that very same moment, Denise and Anthony walked out of their rooms.
The three of them opened their doors at seemingly the same time and spotted each other simultaneously.
The instant Denise caught sight of Kenneth coming out of Natasha's room, her eyes abruptly widened.
She was both surprised and elated.
Daddy didn't leave last night but s-slept with Nat?
Anthony also stared at the man, his brows knitting together.
What on earth is going on here? Has Nat really fallen for him?
