199 Ch. 199 The Twinsâ Reason
After making sure their two wives were out of sight, the twins
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.
âBaby girl, how do you know itâs me?â
Lori answered him by brushing her cheek against Richardâs, making
Richard laugh. âFrom your cheek. And your neckâs rim is slightly bigger than Uncleâs.â
âNow I understand why you hug my neck like that. It turned out you wanted to measure my neck,â Raymond guessed without being able to hide his amused tone. âBrother, your daughter is amazing.â Raymondâs compliment made Richardâs expression fill with priceless pride.
âBut⦠did you aware of Anxiaâs strange behavior? Her expression is similar to when we were at the Thames.â
Richardâs smile vanished when he heard his brotherâs words. âI did. It Looks like an intruder has come here.â
âOn that note, I also saw Sister Chleo here.â Raymond was sure Axelard was also here, considering the man would never leave his wifeâs side.
.....
âNot only Sister Chleo, but I also saw Kenken.â
âKenken? Did Uncle Leon also invite Uncle Kinsey?â
âI doubted that. Maybe Chleo brought Kendrich here.â
âHhhh⦠Do you think Kenken will be able to guess us?â
ââ¦â
They both remembered that when they played this game, the only person who could guess them was Kendrich Alvianc. Kendrich didnât 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 âwhich
one and which,â 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 childrenâs 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 partnerâs right wrist gently and realizing there was no LYMT bracelet made her smile broadly.
âI know what youâre thinking.â the man guessed when he realized that Anxiaâs big smile made the girl immediately lose her smile.
âYou purposely held my hand to find out if I was wearing an anniversary
bracelet, right?â
ââ¦â
âWhat if I had taken it off?â
âYou took it off?â
âWho knows? It could be that I didnât have it from the start or took it off as I said.â
Anxia bit her lip as she glanced at her dance partnerâs twin brother, who was currently dancing with Michele. Did they even switch positions even though they were dancing with their wives?!
âIf you are not my husband, I will kill myself. Iâve never touched
another man besides my husband since I got married.â
The man smiled broadly at that. âIâm sure your husband would
be proud to hear that.â
âIâm 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.â
âDo you always act like this?â
âDidnât Richard tell you?â
âWe donât need to tell each other what we already know.â
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.
âLady Calvin, the song has started. You can think of dancing with your brother if Iâm not your husband.â
âBrother?â Anxia didnât have an older brother before, so she didnât know what it was like to have the attention of an older brother.
Anxia looked at the manâs 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 Anxiaâs heart. Now she knew this manâs real identity.
âNow I know the feeling dancing with an older brother feels like. Thanks for giving it to me, Raymond.â The man raised an eyebrow at the tone filled with confidence. âI know youâre not my husbandâI could feel it when you grasped my hand.â
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.
âBrother Richard, do you still insist on making Harmonie sad?â
Richard sighed softly at his sister-in-lawâs question. âCan we not talk about it? Weâd better finish this dance peacefully.â
âI want that too, but you know I owe Harmonie one. Besides, I
love her, so I canât stand to see her miserable like this.â
âYou owe her?â
Just like Michele, who was looking for information about the
rejection of the twins, Anxia also did the same thing. âEven though the Heinest family seems filled with fakes, at least Andrew Heinest sincerely loves Harmonie. Why did you forbid them to be together?â Anxia asked relentlessly to pry into her brother-in-law.
After all, they werenât dancing with their husbands, so they
could freely search for information. If it were their husbands dancing with
them right now, they werenât sure if they could keep up with their husbandâs 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 twinsâ reasons were quite acceptable, and now Anxia and Michele were having doubts about whether they should continue to support Harmonie or change sides.
