Chapter 199 - 199 Ch. 199 The Twins’ Reason
walked away from the crowd into a corridor where no one was. Then they immediately looked at the tiny child who was still holding Richard.
“Baby girl, how do you know it’s me?”
Lori answered him by brushing her cheek against Richard’s, making
Richard laugh. “From your cheek. And your neck’s rim is slightly bigger than Uncle’s.”
“Now I understand why you hug my neck like that. It turned out you wanted to measure my neck,” Raymond guessed without being able to hide his amused tone. “Brother, your daughter is amazing.” Raymond’s compliment made Richard’s expression fill with priceless pride.
“But… did you aware of Anxia’s strange behavior? Her expression is similar to when we were at the Thames.”
Richard’s smile vanished when he heard his brother’s words. “I did. It Looks like an intruder has come here.”
“On that note, I also saw Sister Chleo here.” Raymond was sure Axelard was also here, considering the man would never leave his wife’s side.
.....
“Not only Sister Chleo, but I also saw Kenken.”
“Kenken? Did Uncle Leon also invite Uncle Kinsey?”
“I doubted that. Maybe Chleo brought Kendrich here.”
“Hhhh… Do you think Kenken will be able to guess us?”
“…”
They both remembered that when they played this game, the only person who could guess them was Kendrich Alvianc. Kendrich didn’t reveal it directly, but he always treated the two of them differently. From the beginning, Kendrich was closer to Richard than Raymond. So wherever Richard goes, Kendrich will follow him.
Miraculously, when the two of them were playing the game ‘which
one and which,’ Kendrich always asked Richard to talk and follow him as if the young man knew that the one he spoke to was Richard. However, when the twins asked this to Kendrich out of curiosity, the boy said he knew nothing and admitted that he enjoyed their game.
Richard and Raymond walked into the dance hall as promised after
letting Lori play with other kids her age in the children’s play area. Then one of them walked up to Anxia while his twin walked over to Michele
and led them onto the dance floor. As the four of them walked, Anxia held her dance partner’s right wrist gently and realizing there was no LYMT bracelet made her smile broadly.
“I know what you’re thinking.” the man guessed when he realized that Anxia’s big smile made the girl immediately lose her smile.
“You purposely held my hand to find out if I was wearing an anniversary
bracelet, right?”
“…”
“What if I had taken it off?”
“You took it off?”
“Who knows? It could be that I didn’t have it from the start or took it off as I said.”
Anxia bit her lip as she glanced at her dance partner’s twin brother, who was currently dancing with Michele. Did they even switch positions even though they were dancing with their wives?!
“If you are not my husband, I will kill myself. I’ve never touched
another man besides my husband since I got married.”
The man smiled broadly at that. “I’m sure your husband would
be proud to hear that.”
“I’m serious with what I said. Because we are from different countries, you may not understand. To us, touching a man who is not our husband is cheating.”
“Do you always act like this?”
“Didn’t Richard tell you?”
“We don’t need to tell each other what we already know.”
For the umpteenth time, Anxia bit her lip in annoyance. For a moment, she almost provoked the man to admit his name. However, her dance partner returned to neutral without giving a hint.
“Lady Calvin, the song has started. You can think of dancing with your brother if I’m not your husband.”
“Brother?” Anxia didn’t have an older brother before, so she didn’t know what it was like to have the attention of an older brother.
Anxia looked at the man’s open palms waiting for her to reach it. Hesitantly, Anxia placed her hand on the bigger palm. Instantly her hand was held firmly but not too tightly, warming Anxia’s heart. Now she knew this man’s real identity.
“Now I know the feeling dancing with an older brother feels like. Thanks for giving it to me, Raymond.” The man raised an eyebrow at the tone filled with confidence. “I know you’re not my husband—I could feel it when you grasped my hand.”
Raymond gave a gentle smile without providing any confirmation. At the same time, Michele also learned the identity of her dance partner in the same way. When their hands touched the gentlemen, the ladies did not feel the tickle of passion or excitement. Instead, they felt warmth as if they were holding hands with family members.
Even though the pair of twins could behave and give off the same vibe, their treatment of their wife and brother-in-law was very different.
“Brother Richard, do you still insist on making Harmonie sad?”
Richard sighed softly at his sister-in-law’s question. “Can we not talk about it? We’d better finish this dance peacefully.”
“I want that too, but you know I owe Harmonie one. Besides, I
love her, so I can’t stand to see her miserable like this.”
“You owe her?”
Just like Michele, who was looking for information about the
rejection of the twins, Anxia also did the same thing. “Even though the Heinest family seems filled with fakes, at least Andrew Heinest sincerely loves Harmonie. Why did you forbid them to be together?” Anxia asked relentlessly to pry into her brother-in-law.
After all, they weren’t dancing with their husbands, so they
could freely search for information. If it were their husbands dancing with
them right now, they weren’t sure if they could keep up with their husband’s puns.
Right now, Richard and Raymond would be meticulous in answering their questions because they would never treat their sister-in-law the way
they would with their wife.
In the end, Richard and Raymond decide to give up and give the
two girls an answer, leaving them muted. The twins’ reasons were quite acceptable, and now Anxia and Michele were having doubts about whether they should continue to support Harmonie or change sides.
