Chapter 616 Keeping A Secret

Not knowing what to do, Clayton and Xavian exchanged glances with each other.

“Please keep this secret on behalf of me and Sophia.” Franklin curled one arm around Clayton and the other around

Xavian. “Both of us have had enough of that woman. We no longer want to have anything to do with her. More

importantly, we don’t want Mommy to be upset. For the two of us, we only have one mommy in the past, present,

and future, and that person is Natalie,” Franklin declared as he thrust his chin into the air with tears welling up in his

eyes.

Sophia too held Clayton and Xavian’s hands. Lowering her gaze, she added, “Precisely. Franklin and I only

acknowledge Natalie as our mommy and not that woman! Therefore, Clayton, Xavian, please help us keep this a

secret. Don’t tell Mommy about it.”

Given how sincere Franklin and Sophia’s pleas were, it was hard for the brothers to refuse.

“Clayton, we might as well promise them,” Xavian suggested as he couldn’t bear to say no.

“Mm-hmm.” Clayton nodded. “Xavian and I promise you that we won’t bring the matter up in front of Mommy.”

“Thank you,” Franklin expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

“No thanks needed.” Clayton patted him on the shoulder. “The four of us are part of the same family. Not only

should we be supporting each other, but we should also grow up to be powerful enough to protect Mommy.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Huddling in a circle, the four of them exchanged blissful smiles at each other. Filled with tears, their eyes glistened

with a newfound purpose.

Upon reaching an agreement, Franklin went to shower in a cheerful mood.

As for Sophia, she felt a sense of dread creep into her after smelling Kenneth’s bowl of medicine from earlier.

“Clayton, Xavian, I’m going off to finish reading the medical books Mommy gave me.”

Unable to recall what the herb was, she decided to use the study materials Natalie had given her to conduct her

research.

There’s something wrong with the traditional medicine Great-grandpa has drunk! I must find out what it is.

As Clayton and Xavian assumed that Sophia just wanted to continue her studies in medicine, they didn’t think too

much about it.

After giving each other a look, they knowingly walked out of the room. Upon reaching the end of the second-floor

corridor, they began to discuss the matter.

“Xavian, don’t you think it’s strange that our birthdays fall on the exact same day?” Clayton asked softly.

“I do!” Xavian nodded vehemently. “Clayton, I’m sure this isn’t a coincidence at all. Do you think Franklin and Sophia

are Mommy’s children too?”

“But Mommy has never told us that she has had other children before!” Clayton furrowed his brows. “Xavian, do

you think that this is a possibility?”

“Clayton, since we have made a promise to the two of them, we can’t go back on our words. Therefore, let’s just

continue to keep the secret on their behalf. However…” Xavian began to switch the perspective of his thoughts.

“However, we can try to find out the truth from five years ago and determine if Franklin and Sophia are truly our

siblings.”

“Yes! Let’s do that discreetly.”

Meanwhile, Natalie noticed them whispering to each other. She asked, “What are you talking about?”

Caught in the act, the brothers smiled wryly.

“Nothing. We’re just admiring the moon.” Clayton forced an awkward grin. “The moon is especially beautiful

tonight, isn’t it, Xavian?”

Xavian played along. “Indeed, Clayton. It’s as you said, the moon tonight is exceptionally stunning!”

Curious, Natalie looked up into the sky and saw that it was pitch black. She could barely see any stars, let alone the

moon.
