Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Anthony's expression stiffened when he heard Kenneth's name.

The originally relaxed expression instantly turned serious.

A moment later, looking at Kyle, Anthony said, "It's getting late. Let's go. It's time for lunch." Without waiting for a response, he turned and started walking away.

Watching Anthony's retreating figure, Kyle knew he had touched a sore spot. He lowered his gaze, turning to look at Benjamin, whose little face had also tightened. Sighing, Kyle said, "Let's go. We should eat first!"

"Okay!" Benjamin nodded.

Just as Benjamin was about to leave, his gaze swept across the room. Upon seeing the person asleep on the sofa, he slightly furrowed his brows. "I'll go wake up Thalia!" "No need to wake her up!" Kyle said. "She gets cranky when she doesn't get enough sleep. Let her rest!"

After some thought, Benjamin nodded.

"Let's go!" With that, the two of them headed outside.

At that moment, Anthony was already waiting for them outside.

After they left, Anthony looked at Kyle and asked, "Where should we go for lunch?"

"How about my room?" Kyle raised an eyebrow.

Anthony lifted his gaze, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"The ambiance is perfect for a chat. Let's go," he said and took the lead.

Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances, then followed suit.

It was important to note that their base was built beneath a hotel. Although there was a connection, the exterior and interior were self-contained, like two separate worlds. Under Kyle's guidance, they took several turns before finally entering the elevator. They then pressed the button for the top floor.

The three of them stood in the elevator, none of them speaking.

After the elevator reached the top floor, they stepped out.

The entire top floor consisted of only a few rooms.

After Kyle stepped out, he walked a few steps inward and arrived at a room. After a facial recognition scan, the door automatically opened.

Turning around, Kyle looked at the two people behind him. "Come in."

Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances, then slowly began to walk inside.

Looking at their expressions, Kyle laughed and said, "What's the matter? Are you worried I might harm you?"

Anthony turned his head and glanced at him. "If you really want to do that, there's always a chance. You don't have to wait until now."

Kyle smiled. "Why are you looking at me like that, then?"

"I thought the room you were talking about was downstairs, but it turns out, it's really your room," Anthony said.

Kyle laughed. "This is the top floor, with only a few rooms. We occasionally stay here, but it's usually vacant all year round."

With that, he added, "But rest assured, someone will clean regularly. It's very tidy."

Anthony glanced at him without saying a word, and the group proceeded to walk inside.

While it was referred to as a room, it was more accurate to describe it as a spacious flat. It was vast and open, equipped with everything one could possibly need, including facilities for golfing and working out. Upon entering, Anthony looked around, his expression revealing no surprise whatsoever.

Kyle had always been a person who enjoyed life to the fullest. It was not an exaggeration to say that he could make the place feel just like home.

At that moment, Kyle said, "There are two vacant rooms next door. You both are welcome to move in anytime."

"No need," Anthony flatly refused. "Also, I probably won't get this chance again."

"Why?"

"In a few days, we'll be heading back to Glenport City."

Kyle squinted his eyes. "Are you guys leaving?"

"Yes!"

"What's the point of going back?"

"That's our hometown. Now that everything is over, it's only natural to return home," said Anthony.

Kyle furrowed his brows when he heard that.

When the time came, he glanced around and noticed that lunch was already set on the table. He said, "Let's go. We can eat and talk at the same time."

Upon hearing that, the two little ones followed Kyle to the dining table.

Upon seeing a table full of exquisite lunch dishes, all of which were their favorites, both Anthony and Benjamin were momentarily stunned.

Kyle was the first to pull out a chair and sit down in the middle. Looking at them, he uttered softly, "These are all dishes that Thalia said you all enjoy. Try them and see how they taste." Anthony and Benjamin each took a seat on either side of Kyle.

"It's been a long time since I've had Chanaean cuisine, and this looks pretty good!" Kyle picked up his fork.

Seeing that, Anthony and Benjamin also started eating.

Having taken a bite, Kyle nodded. "After all these years abroad, I almost forgot what Chanaean cuisine tastes like." He then turned to Anthony and Benjamin. "How about you two? Do they taste authentic?" Anthony nodded. "Yes. Not too shabby."

"Does this hotel serve Chanaean cuisine?" Benjamin asked.

Kyle shook his head. "No."

"So, these are "

"I sought it out on purpose," Kyle said. "It's been a while since I've had it, and today I just suddenly craved Chanaean cuisine. Plus, today's head chef is a chef from a five-star hotel back home. It cost me quite a bit."

Listening, Anthony murmured, "You always know how to enjoy yourself."

"How can you say I'm enjoying this? I'm doing it all so you can eat well," Kyle replied.

Upon hearing those words, both Anthony and Benjamin were momentarily taken aback.

"Did you specifically look for this for our sake?"

"If not?" Kyle retorted.

Anthony looked up, his gaze meeting with Benjamin's once again.

"In this foreign land, being able to eat food from home brings a sense of comfort," Kyle murmured.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Anthony and Benjamin, who showed no reaction. He furrowed his brows. "Shouldn't you at least show some touched expressions at this moment? Otherwise, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?"

"Have you ever thought about the fact that we actually eat quite often?" Benjamin asked.

"Often?"

"Coincidentally, Mr. Dave is also a man who enjoys life to the fullest. He has all sorts of chefs at home, including those who specialize in Chanaean dishes. So, we often eat a variety of dishes, never repeating the same one," Benjamin said.

Kyle frowned when he heard that. I thought they would appreciate my thoughtfulness! Who would've known that they could easily get all these dishes?

With that in mind, he further knitted his brows. Kyle then muttered under his breath, "Oh, Dave... It's one thing for him to oppose me normally, but why does he have to compete with me at this time?" He was clearly annoyed.

He casually mentioned Kenneth and Dave in his conversation, showing no signs of the deep-seated hatred between them. However, they seemed more like old rivals. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Upon hearing that, both Anthony and Benjamin gradually began to relax. If he's so open about it, we can also do the same.

Suddenly, Benjamin looked at Kyle, "But still, all the dishes today are ones they've never made before. It's quite refreshing." Kyle looked up at them. "Really?"

"Yes!" Benjamin nodded.

Kyle clearly seemed skeptical, turning his head to look at Anthony again as if seeking some sort of confirmation from him.

However, at that moment, Anthony suddenly put down his fork and looked at Kyle. "You invited us here for lunch. It can't just be for this, right? Kyle, get straight to the point. Whatever you want to say, just say

it."
