Chapter 809 I Am Anthony Watson
Chapter 809 I Am Anthony Watson
After some contemplation, Thalia looked at him and asked, “I suppose you haven't eaten? Let's get you something to eat. It's my treat.”
Kyle narrowed his eyes, observing Thalia. “Tell me. What's going on?”
“Nothing.”
“I'm not hungry. I just want to see him.”
Thalia was stumped for words.
“Is there a problem with that?” Kyle added.
Thalia took a deep breath and finally revealed, “I haven't told him about your visit.”
It was then that Kyle understood what was going on. “What do you think you're doing?”
“Could you wait for a bit, Boss? He's not prepared to meet you yet. I don't want him to be caught by surprise.”
Kyle scoffed at the reply. “Caught by surprise? Why can't he take a surprise? It's not like he's a kid.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“He is, to be honest...” Thalia murmured.
“What did you say?”
Thalia shook her head at him. “*It's nothing, Boss. Let's get a drink. I promise I'll make this trip worth it for you.”
“Oh. Do you think a drink is enough then?”
“I'll do whatever you ask.”
“I don't have any special request. I want to see him,” Kyle insisted, still thinking he should meet this person face-to-face since he had put aside all his work for that trip.
This man has got to have something to be acting so enigmatic.
“Boss,” Thalia tried persuading.
“I'll go on my own if you refuse to lead the way,” Kyle refuted, walking past her. However, after a few steps, he froze where he was, squinting at the three children walking toward him.
“Boss, you should try not to scare him...” Thalia's voice trailed off when she realized Kyle had stopped.
Slowly turning back, she braced herself for the worst.
“W-What are you guys doing here?” she asked with her brows stitched in a frown when she saw the children, who remained silent at her question.
Miguel looked at the frowning woman and replied in the children's stead, “Well, we didn't want to put you in a tight spot.”
Thalia narrowed her eyes, trying to discern the look on Anthony's face as the boy stared at Kyle.
To Anthony, Kyle seemed more domineering than he had imagined. Although he looked harmless at first sight, Anthony could tell he was the kind to be very decisive when he had to kill someone.
Meanwhile, Kyle glanced at Thalia with dark eyes, hoping to get answers, but she evaded his gaze.
As if he had understood her body language, Kyle looked at the group not far from him.
Having taken a few-second pause, he paced over to them as his shifting gaze drifted from the children to Miguel.
“We meet at last,” Kyle said as he pulled his hand from his pocket and reached out to Miguel.
Staring at the hand extended toward him, Miguel was so stunned he was lost for words.
When he turned to eye the three children, Denise had her lips pursed and was trying not to laugh aloud when she learned that Kyle had mistaken Miguel for Anonymous. In fact, even Thalia was laughing.
“Um, I'm sorry, but I think you got the wrong guy,” Miguel pointed out, shaking Kyle's hand.
“The wrong guy?” Kyle frowned.
Sensing the tension in the air, he glanced over at the children, who were roughly half his height.
“What do you mean?” he asked lowly, trailing Miguel's gaze.
“Isn't it obvious enough?”
Kyle glanced at the children again and finally noticed something different about Anthony when he cast his gaze on the boy, who had directly looked him in the eye fearlessly as if he was looking at an ordinary man, not someone from Darknetz.
Perceiving the peculiarity of the matter, Kyle narrowed his eyes and turned to Thalia as if he was looking for confirmation, but the latter coughed dryly and simply smiled at him.
“What's that supposed to mean?” Kyle questioned.
Thalia refused to provide him with the answer he was looking for. She recalled how dumbfounded she was when she first learned who Anthony was; she wanted Kyle to experience the same.
Now you know how I felt. I'm not going through this alone.
“Well, I don't know,” Thalia said, shrugging with her hands spread out.
Just as Kyle was trapped in confusion, Denise smiled sweetly at him and greeted, “Hi, sir.”
The man studied the girl for some time and finally said, “Hi.”
“Who are you, and what are you doing here?” the girl asked.
“Um...” Words suddenly eluded Kyle. He was not fond of children, but somehow, he felt drawn toward Anthony, for there was something about that boy that he could not put a finger on.
Snapping back to his senses, Kyle glanced at Miguel again and retracted his hand, convinced that the latter was not the man he was looking for.
Kyle's reaction amused Miguel. He was sure that that must have been the first time someone as powerful as Kyle had come across a situation as puzzling.
Indeed, Kyle looked at Thalia searchingly and then back at Anthony before he took a long pause and finally walked toward the boy, asking, “It's you?”
His question, which sounded more like a statement, spoiled the fun for Thalia because she had anticipated a blunder from Kyle.
What's going on? Did he recognize Anthony just like that? How did he do that?”
Thalia stared at Kyle in disbelief, but from how Anthony had his hands in his pockets, he was calm even when Kyle discovered his identity. “What are you talking about? I'm not following,” Anthony replied, flashing the man a clueless smile, almost fooling Kyle.
Yet, Kyle's reasoning told him that his guess was correct.
He swept his gaze across the children and analyzed, “You told me you have a younger sister and brother, and you all are triplets, so you must be Anthony.”
Thalia was completely blown away. Did he find out just like that? How can it be that easy for him?
On a different note, Thalia thought she should have expected that outcome given Kyle's ability.
Having heard Kyle's deduction, Anthony gazed at the man with a slight smile without saying a word while Kyle waited patiently for a response. “You're right. It's me. I guess there's no fooling someone like you. Nice to meet you, Kyle. I'm Anthony Watson,” the boy eventually said, extending his hand for an unreciprocated handshake.
Although Anthony had admitted his identity, Kyle still found it unbelievable that that boy was the person he had been waiting to meet.
“What's the matter? Are you doubting yourself now?” Anthony asked when he saw that the man was hesitant.
The familiar haughty tone instantly convinced Kyle.
The realization elicited a smirk, and he nodded, saying, “I finally understand everything.”
