The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel 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.

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.
