The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 612

Chapter 612 Family Origins

The next moment, the children exchanged surprised glances with each other.

Refusing to believe in coincidences, Franklin probed, “On the night of the thirtieth? At ten?”

“Yes! Both of us were born at ten too!” Clayton and Xavian were shocked beyond belief. “Not only were we born on

the same day but also at the same time too!”

Other than the children, Kenneth was equally shocked.

He had assumed that they were just the same age, but he hadn’t expected them to be born on the same day.

“Wh-What a coincidence!” he exclaimed from the depths of his heart.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder about how much of a coincidence it actually was. After all, the

children were born on the same day and behaved as if they were actual siblings.

“Have you seen your birth parents?” Kenneth finally got the burning question off his chest.

Franklin gave Kenneth the side-eye and frowned. “Great-grandpa, why are you asking such a direct question?”

In truth, Sophia and he had always been curious about Xavian and Clayton’s family background. However, they

never talked about it, as they were worried about bringing up a painful past. But now, their great-grandpa had

asked that same question.

“Erm…” Upon hearing Franklin’s complaint, Kenneth realized the suddenness of his question. “Don’t take it the

wrong way. I’m just curious to know and don’t bear any ill will.”

“It’s all right.” Xavian held Kenneth’s hand and calmly replied, “My brother and I aren’t that sensitive. Mommy has

never allowed us to look for our scumbag of a dad. Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist and went to her room one day. I

found a name within the documents there and began investigating. Later on, I found out that our dad was a useless

hoodlum. In fact, he was in and out of prison for multiple crimes. Five years ago, he smuggled himself overseas and

was never heard from again. Therefore, I can’t deny the possibility that he has died in another country.”

Even though Xavian spoke as if he didn’t care, his eyes darkened subconsciously, while the same happened to

Clayton too.

Kenneth was filled with sympathy for the two brothers after he heard about their sad family background.

“Nonetheless, everything is perfect now with our new daddy.” As Xavian looked up, the sparkle in his eyes had

returned. “Not only is he someone amazing, but he also treats Mommy very well. Great-grandpa, even though he

isn’t related to us by blood, don’t you think my brother and I look like him, while Sophia looks like Mommy?”

Kenneth picked up on every single word that was said.

Staring intently at Clayton and Xavian, he began to observe their eyes, nose, jaw…

Even though they weren’t the spitting image of Samuel when he was a child, they still closely resembled him. In

fact, from certain angles, they looked more like him than Franklin did.

“They look so alike!” Kenneth couldn’t help murmuring as his heart began to pound furiously. “Did you just say that

Sophia looks like your mommy?” He furrowed his brows, as those words seemed to be stretching the truth. After all,

Natalie’s features couldn’t be any more ordinary.

At that moment, Xavian and Clayton exchanged glances because they had forgotten that Natalie had never taken

off her hyper-realistic mask in front of Kenneth before. Now that they had committed a Freudian slip, they didn’t

know how to remedy the situation.

“Great-grandpa, don’t you realize that my eyes look the same as Mommy’s?” Sophia pointed at her eyes

enthusiastically.
