Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy novel Chapter 149

When Mark came out of the room, Lyla was already sound asleep.

Upon seeing her sleeping so soundly, he shook his head helplessly. At this time, he looked at the time, it was already past 12:00 am.

He thought of something, walked downstairs, and saw the light in Hansel’s room was still lit up. He then frowned and walked over.

Mark knocked on the door.

Gretel was startled.

They did not expect that someone would come over at this time.

“Hansel, open the door, it's me!” Mark’s voice sounded outside.

Gretel was dumbfounded.

How could Daddy come over at this time?

She sat in front of the computer anxiously, what should she do if Daddy found out about them?

In a hurry, she immediately turned off the computer and rolled onto Hansel's bed. She covered herself with the blanket, hoping that Mark would not come in.

Mark frowned, and the light in the room was now gone. He frowned again and could not help feeling even more suspicious. He then turned the doorknob only to find that the door was locked.

“Hansel, open the door!” said Mark.

The room was in complete silence, Gretel was inexplicably anxious, but right now, what else could be done?

Mark turned around and went to get the key as there was no sound from the room.

Gretel laid on the bed, held her breath, and did not even dare to gasp loudly. She kept listening to the sound outside, but there was no sound.

Was he gone?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the sound of the key. The door was unlocked with a ‘click’ and Mark pushed open the door to walk in.

Gretel really wanted to die at this point.

Mark would usually never come down at night, so why did he suddenly come down today?

Gretel hugged the blanket in distress.

Mark came in, touched the light switch on the wall with his hand directly, and turned it on at once. He frowned and walked towards the figure on the bed.

“Hansel!”

…

No one answered.

“I know you’re not asleep!”

…

There was still no answer.

Mark was not a patient person either, he walked over immediately and pulled the blanket away. However, how could Gretel’s little strength compare to Mark? Her whole being was then exposed in the air.

Upon seeing Mark, Gretel waved at him, smiling happily. “Daddy, night!”

Mark had an indescribable expression on his face. “Why is it you?”

“It's me!”

“Where’s your brother?”

“Brother…” Gretel started thinking quickly in her mind. “He…”

“Say it!”

“Brother is out!”

“Where did he go?”

“I don't know!” Gretel shook her head. Even though she could tell that Mark was a little unhappy, she could not say it. Hansel should be the one to talk about this matter.

Mark's expression became gloomy. He already knew that something was wrong with them that day. Sure enough, Hansel was hiding something from him.

“You don't know about this? How could you possibly not know about this?” Mark did not believe her at all, putting aside the fact that they were acting suspiciously and were close to each other. Just the fact that Gretel was there that night meant that there was no way she did not know about it.

“Uh, I think I heard my brother say that someone asked him to help check their computer, so he went out!”

“Check their computer at midnight?” Mark asked as he looked at her. Did she think that he was a 3-year-old?

“I’m not sure about this, but it seems like that there’s something very important, so he left!”

“Didn’t you say you don't know about it?”

“... Uh, I just remembered it!” Gretel said with a wry smile.

Mark stared at her. This daughter was like Lyla, she could lie without even blinking. He walked over step by step and looked at Gretel who was sitting on the bed. His deep eyes looking at her as if he wanted to see her through. “Gretel, are you hiding something from me?”

“What? What can I hide?” Gretel asked as she blinked at Mark innocently. She was trying to use her act to its fullest.

“Both of you were acting mysteriously from the start, did you really think that I couldn’t tell?” Mark said seriously as he looked at her. He completely ignored Gretel’s act of innocence. He had only been in contact with them for a short time, so even though he did not completely understand his daughter, he could say that he knew her well for the most part.

“Daddy, aren’t you just overthinking it?” Gretel asked, still blinking her pair of clear eyes, trying to pretend to be innocent until the end.

Gretel was no better than Hansel to deal with. It could even be said that she was more cunning than Hansel, she would not be easily persuaded by reason nor force.

After staring at her for a long time, Mark was very sure that he could not get anything out of her. Gretel was not planning to tell him about it at all.

Although he knew that the siblings were acting strange, he did not know what was going on.

Mark pressed his lips together and nodded. “Ok, if you don't want to tell me, then I won't force you!” After speaking, Mark stood up and left.

“Daddy, where are you going?” Gretel asked.

Mark turned around and smiled mysteriously at her. “Take a guess!” He left her with these three words, turned away, and went out.

Gretel, “...”

After seeing the car, his cute delicate face evoked a wicked smile. He then stretched out his arm and waved.

Mark drove the car as his delicate face looked very serious. He did not know where Hansel had gone. This was just his intuition, Hansel had been giving him a mysterious feeling for more than a day or two anyway.

However, this time, he had to find out even if it was an unbelievable fact.

At that time, he saw someone on the side of the road waving at him and even flashing a light at him. When he looked over, he found that it was Hansel. At this moment, Hansel was sitting on top of the car while swaying his legs casually and looked happy.

Mark frowned and stopped the car at the opposite of him with a screech.

He pushed open the car’s door and walked out, while Hansel waved to him on the opposite side. “Hi, Daddy!”

God knew what Mark felt at this moment. He pressed his lips together and walked over with his slender legs.

“Why are you here?” Mark asked.

“Of course, I was waiting for you Daddy!”

“You knew that I was looking for you?”

“Gretel already gave me a call!” Hansel said casually and comfortably.

“Then how did you know that I’d be here?” Mark asked as he looked at him. At that point, the two of them did not look like father and son. Instead, they looked more like they were negotiating something.

At this moment, Hansel held up the iPad, and on it was their current location. That little red dot was Mark’s location, it was tracked using his phone signal.

Mark had forgotten that Hansel was an expert with computers. There was no way to hide this little issue from him.

Mark stood still and kept thinking. In fact, he had been thinking for the whole journey before arriving there. What would he do after he found Hansel and what would he ask Hansel?

However, he could not come to a conclusion.

He looked at Hansel, while Hansel's dark eyes also looked at him. Now that the two of them had met up, Mark asked the main question and walked towards him. “Can you tell me, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

Mark glanced at the person behind him as he spoke. He looked like an unfamiliar and unremarkable person. “Who is he?”

“I'm just here to help my friends…”

“Don't tell me that you’re helping your friend to check his computer. You should believe that your Daddy isn’t that stupid!”

Hansel, “...”

Hansel looked at Mark and knew that he could not deceive Mark. Regarding the last incident, it was just because Mark was unwilling to pursue it. If Hansel really wanted to deceive him, it would not work at all at this point.

Hansel’s ability was limited, so all lies would not work at all.

“Daddy…”

“So you ended up here in the middle of the mountains while you were checking computers…” Mark looked around and sneered. His eyes were fixed on Hansel and his deep pupils were cold. “Heh, you think that I’ll really believe that?”

“Well, it’s indeed not because of that!” Hansel confessed.

“Then what the hell are you here for?” Mark asked. Not long after coming in contact with Hansel, he had already had doubts about him. Hansel was very smart and cautious. At first, Mark did not want to ask him too much, but he recently discovered that Hansel was behaving more and more mysterious. The people Hansel came into contact with were also extremely dangerous, so Mark had to check on him.

However, the result made Mark even more moody.
