Anthony texted: Are you there?
Thalia replied: Yeah, I am.
Anthony sent another text: I need your help with something.
Thalia replied with a sneering emoji: You need to work on that attitude if you're going to ask someone for help, kiddo.
Anthony frowned as he texted reluctantly: My dear Thalia who's the prettiest woman on Earth, could you please help me out with something?
Thalia nearly spat out her drink when she saw his message. She couldn't help but wonder if Anthony had written that with a flirtatious smile or with clenched teeth.
Regardless, she enjoyed receiving compliments even if it wasn't sincere.
Thalia: Good boy. At least you've got the attitude part right.
Anthony: Pretty girls like you should protect kids like me!
Thalia: You'd have to be an ordinary kid for that to happen.
Anthony: So, are you going to help me out or not?
Thalia: I'll think about it.
Anthony sent the following message with a smiling emoji: Okay, in that case, I won't hold back anymore. If I recall, the person you offended previously is still hunting for you all over the internet. I don't mind sending him your picture, you know?
Thalia's eyes instantly went wide with shock as she replied: What the f*ck, Anthony? Have some boundaries, will you?
Anthony: That depends on the situation.
Thalia tightened her grip on her phone as she replied: I really hate being threatened.
Anthony: So?
Thalia: Keep in mind that I'm not doing this because I'm afraid of you. I'm just choosing to let you win this time. Now, tell me, what is it that you need help with?
Anthony chuckled when he saw her submit to him in the most defiant way possible.
Of course, he knew full well that Thalia was indeed letting him win. While it was possible for him to destroy her over the internet, she could also take his life anytime she wanted.
The only thing preventing that from happening was the fact that they were allies instead of enemies.
Not wanting to tease her any further, Anthony texted: Gramps brought me home today, so my mommy is all alone at the hospital. Could you help me watch over her?
Thalia: You're worried that the mysterious person will come for her tonight?
We haven't released that information yet, but I can't take any chances. With that in mind, Anthony texted: Yeah.
After giving it some thought, Thalia replied: Okay, no problem.
Anthony: Make sure to be discreet. I don't want my mommy to find out about this.
Thalia: D*mn, this is such a pain in the neck!
Had he not mentioned that, Thalia would've ranted about it to Natasha.
Of course, Anthony knew how difficult his request was and texted: There will be a huge reward for you after this is over.
As Anthony had always been very generous with his rewards, Thalia agreed to his request immediately and replied: Don't worry! I'll be sure to keep your mommy safe!
Feeling relieved after receiving her promise, Anthony texted: Thanks.
Thalia: No need to thank me. Just make sure to have that huge reward ready!
Anthony: Of course. You won't be disappointed.
Thalia: All right, I'll be heading out now.
A smile formed on Anthony's face when he
saw that.
“Who are you texting, Anthony?” Terence asked while driving.
“Oh, I was just having a little chat with Benjamin and Denise,” Anthony said as he put his phone away.
Terence didn't think much about it and nodded in response. “Does it feel different now that Denise and Benjamin are staying over at the Hamilton residence?”
Anthony shook his head. “Nope.”
“Don't you want to go be with them?” Terence asked.
“Gramps, do you think I'm jealous of them?” Anthony asked.
“Isn't it normal for kids like you to get jealous? Besides, they don't even know about your existence yet,” Terence replied.
“No, it's me who doesn't want them to know about my existence.” Anthony corrected him.
“Why is that?” Terence asked.
“I want to know what their true intentions are. If they really want to try and take Denise and Benjamin away, then I will have a chance at rescuing them. It's always better to have a backup plan,” Anthony replied.
Terence burst out laughing when he heard that.
“And if they aren't actually trying to take my siblings away, then finding out about my existence will come as an additional surprise for them,” Anthony added. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Honestly, I don't know what goes on in this boy's head. He can be so mature and smart that I have a hard time believing he's just a kid.
Terence reached out to pat the boy on the head. “With kids like you three around, I suppose I have nothing to worry about.”
Anthony flashed him a smile. “You mean both you and Mommy have nothing to worry about, Gramps.”
Terence nodded. “Of course. Even your great-grandpa said I'm truly blessed.” “You got that right!” With a warm sensation in his heart, Terence continued the drive home.
Meanwhile, Kenneth was driving the car while Liam played with the kids in the back.
Liam had a smile on his face the whole time as he stared affectionately at them.
Kenneth would glance at them through the rear-view mirror from time to time as he drove on.
Having recalled something all of a sudden, Liam said, “Kenneth, give our housekeeper a call and have them prepare the two bedrooms next to mine.”
Kenneth flashed him a confused look. “I'm occupying the room next to yours, though.”
“You can sleep in a different room tonight. On second thought, you'll be sleeping in a different room from now on.”
“Why?”
“Because I plan on renovating both of those rooms.
It became obvious that Liam was spoiling the two kids like crazy, but Kenneth was okay with the arrangement as long as they were happy.
Had Liam not been around, Kenneth would probably have been the one spoiling them instead.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the Hamilton residence.
The housekeepers were shocked when they saw Liam bringing two kids home with him, but they welcomed the kids warmly nonetheless.
The Hamilton residence instantly became a lot livelier with Benjamin and Denise around.
Plenty of fruits, both local and imported, had been laid out on the table just for them.
The butler and housekeepers liked the two kids just as much as Liam did.
“Why do they look so similar to Mr. Kenneth when he was a child, Old Mr. Hamilton?” Dan asked.
“It seems you're the only one with a sharp eye around here,” Liam replied with a smile.
“So, these kids really are...”
Liam nodded in response.
“My goodness! This is unbelievable!” Dan exclaimed in shock.
I know, right? This is so amazing that I feel like I'm dreaming! All I did was head out for a bit, and I get to bring home two greatgrandkids for my family!
Liam chuckled to himself at the thought of that.
