Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 657

Chapter 657

Anthony caught up with Benjamin, who was walking slowly, and said, "Benjamin, whatever it is you want to say, just say it. What's with that expression?"

"Nothing."

"Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking about?"

Benjamin side-eyed his brother and replied, "Is it what I am thinking about or what you are thinking about?"

Upon hearing his double-edged remark, Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Benjamin, did you secretly pick up mind-reading skills?"

Benjamin let out a chuckle. "So, are you finally admitting to it?"

Anthony sighed. "Why is it so hard to keep anything from you?" He nodded. "Yes, it's true that I have selfish intentions. I've been wanting to form my own hacker organization. His skills are not worse than mine, so I wanted to try to get him to join me."

Benjamin seemed to have expected it. He was not surprised at all when he heard that. He fixed his gaze on his brother and analyzed, "His skills are indeed not worse than yours, and it's definitely beneficial for your organization with him joining. But we don't really know him well, and considering his links with Vermillion Base, even if he pledges his allegiance to you, do you really think he will remain loyal?"

Anthony furrowed his brows. "I've thought about what you said as well. That's why it's just an idea. Let's see how it goes. Besides, he's not going to be the only person in my organization. I won't recruit him if I have any doubts about him."

Benjamin nodded and replied, "Mm. You should give it some careful thought. It's better to be safe than sorry. We can't afford this loss."

"I know." Anthony nodded, then looked at Benjamin. "So, do you want to be the first member of my organization?"

Benjamin chuckled. "Bye."

Staring at his departing figure, Anthony said, "Won't you even consider that? As long as we brothers unite, there's nothing we can't accomplish."

"I'm not interested," Benjamin rejected directly.

Knowing that his brother was not interested in this, Anthony asked, "Anyway, what are your plans?"

Benjamin thought about it for a moment and replied, "I don't have any plans yet, but no matter what it is, I will continue doing what I enjoy doing."

Anthony nodded. "All right. Our family is very democratic, and we will never stop you from pursuing your dreams. Although research requires a huge amount of time and money, our family is rich, so you don't have to worry. Besides... even if Daddy and Nat don't care, you still have me. I will always support you unconditionally!"

"Are you going to fund my research?"

"Are you going to fund my research?"

"Do you even have to ask?"

"Really?"

"Of course. It's a given."

Benjamin looked up at the sky at once as if he was searching for something.

Anthony looked up as well and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm trying to see if there are pigs in the sky."

Anthony was rendered speechless. He withdrew his gaze and said, "Seriously, Benjamin, you're so ungrateful!"

Benjamin flashed a cheeky smile and replied, "Is that not the case? After all, you have always been so stingy toward Denise and me. I'm just surprised at your sudden generosity, although it's only all talk at the moment."

"How could you call me stingy? I did all of that to help the two of you learn and make sure that your lives are fulfilling. It's all for your sake. Now that you have grown up well and are ready to take on the world, it's time for me, as your elder brother, to show you some love!"

"Is that so?"

"Of course!" Anthony stepped forward and put his arm around Benjamin's shoulder. "Maybe you should call me your big bro from now on. The more you call me that, the more funding you will get from me."

So this is what he's after.

Benjamin looked at Anthony with an innocent expression. "Really?"

"Of course. C'mon, try it." Anthony looked at his brother expectantly.

Benjamin inched closer to his ear and paused for a second before saying, "Anthony Watson, stop dreaming!"

Anthony did not expect that.

"You need to try harder if you expect me to believe your nonsense! Do you really think I'll buy that?" Benjamin left after saying that.

Anthony sighed in resignation as he gazed at Benjamin.

It's getting harder to fool Benjamin.

Following behind his brother, Anthony said, "Fine. It's okay if you don't want to call me that, but as your elder brother, I still want to let you know that, no matter what you choose to do in the future, I will always support you, both morally and financially!"

Benjamin cast a glance at Anthony. "Thalia said that there aren't many talents in this field. If I decide to venture on this path, I will definitely be a hot commodity, and money will come naturally."

Anthony frowned at the mention of that. "But we don't know much about this field yet. I need to replace out more about it and see if it's really as impressive as how Thalia described."

"No need. Don't worry. I can handle it myself," Benjamin said.

"All right, then. It's fine, as long as you know what you're doing." Anthony nodded.

"I've always known what I want to do," Benjamin said with determination flashing in his eyes.

Anthony fell into a daze as he looked at Benjamin.

Noticing that Anthony was looking at him with a blank look in his eyes, Benjamin asked, "What is it?"

"It used to upset me when people say that you take after Nat, but there was a moment earlier that you really reminded me of her, not only in terms of looks but also your expression and determination in going after what your want."

Benjamin raised his brows when he heard that and smirked. "Why? Are you jealous of me?"

"Yeah. I'm dying of jealousy."

"I can't help you with that. Maybe you'll have a better chance in your next life. Try negotiating with Nat and ask her to let you be her child again," Benjamin teased.

"Don't worry. Not only in the next life but in the life after next and every lifetime after, I will be Nat's son and your elder brother."

A crease appeared between Benjamin's brows. "Do you really hate me that much?"

Anthony smiled. "Maybe? Anyway, just be prepared for it."

"No. In the next life, I will be your elder brother instead."

"No way. You shouldn't even waste energy thinking about that."

"It's not up to you to decide what happens in our next life."

"You're speaking as if you are in control of it."

"God is fair!"

"I only believe in myself!"

"Sure, then. Let's just wait and see if you get to have a say in what happens in our next life!"

The two boys started fighting again.

Just then, Denise, who was walking ahead of them, turned around and glanced at her two brothers. A trace of exasperation flashed across the girl's adorable face. Why are boys so lame?

She shook her head and mumbled to herself, "How childish."

Ignoring her siblings, she headed upstairs.

Anthony and Benjamin continued bickering with each other. At that moment, bright and innocent smiles could be seen on their faces, just like kids their age were supposed to have.

They understood each other like no one else did and were also the best in their respective areas of expertise.
