As soon as they arrived at the entrance, Benjamin said, “But we haven't found the car.”
Anthony paused in his steps.
That's right! We went on separate ways to find the car, but none of us found it.
Thalia pursed her lips and gazed at Dave with her beautiful eyes. “That depends on whether someone wants to let us find it,” she said teasingly.
Dave looked up at her, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
She is indeed a smart woman. It seems that members of Darknetz are really competent after all!
Anthony and Benjamin seemed to have sensed something. They looked at Dave and saw that he was staring at Thalia with his lips pursed and that there was something about the look in his eyes.
“Mr. Dave...”
Dave came back to his senses. He turned to look at Anthony and Benjamin and said, “I do know where the car is.”
Anthony's and Benjamin's frowns deepened.
“I found the car when we separated just now, but there was no trace of your daddy. I don't want to upset you guys, so I chose not to tell you about it,” Dave said in a low voice.
After listening to his explanation, Thalia chuckled and shifted her gaze elsewhere.
Anthony closed his eyes for a moment and said, “Mr. Dave, I don't think it's right. Since we agreed to cooperate with each other, we should also trust each other. Although we're young, that doesn't mean we're immature. I hope you can tell us the truth if anything happens next time.”
Dave was baffled by Anthony's words. After thinking for a while, he responded, “Okay. I'm sorry for not thinking it through. There won't be a next time.”
Anthony nodded and did not pursue it any further.
“Let's go, then.” With that, Anthony walked ahead of them, with Dave, Thalia, and Benjamin in tow.
“How did you know that Mr. Dave found the car? Haven't you been with us all the time?” Benjamin whispered to Thalia.
He was curious, as Thalia had been with the two of them all the time when they had gone to find the car earlier.
Thalia looked at Anthony and Dave at the front, then at Benjamin. “Do you believe in a woman's sixth sense?”
Benjamin was rendered speechless by her reply.
Should I believe her? Maybe I should! Sometimes, Anthony, Denise, and I do have this special feeling.
At the thought of that, Benjamin nodded. “I believe you!”
“Seriously? How can you believe in everything?” Thalia poked his little head with her finger.
“It's not that I believe in everything. I just believe in everything you said!”
Thalia was stunned for a moment.
Aww, why is he so sweet?
Thalia felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.
“Would you still believe me even if I told you lies?” she asked.
“If you tell us lies, then I believe it must be for our own good!” said Benjamin.
Before Thalia knew it, her heart was overflowing with love again.
She looked at Benjamin, her eyes brimming with affection.
“You're so sweet, Benjamin! How can there be such a sweet boy like you in this world?” Thalia walked up to him and gave him a big hug.
“Sweet?” Benjamin smiled awkwardly.
It was the first time someone had described him in that way.
“Well, I always feel that you're a little too harsh whenever you talk to him!”
“Am I?”
Benjamin nodded honestly.
Thalia was not really bothered by that. “We're from two organizations that are against each other. It's normal that I don't like him. I've probably inadvertently shown my hatred toward him in our conversations, but it's no big deal. He doesn't like me either!”
“But I think Mr. Dave treats you really well!”
“Are you sure? How can you tell that he treats me well?” Thalia looked at him in confusion.
“When you said you were hungry on our way here just now, he purposely pulled over to buy you food!”
“He bought the food for the two of you! It has nothing to do with me.”
“But we were not hungry, and we just ate!”
Thalia was at a loss for words.
She looked at Benjamin, perplexed. Then she shook her head. “No. It has nothing to do with me. Even if you were not hungry, he did buy it for you! I don't agree with what you said.”
Seeing her reaction, Benjamin smiled. “I don't need you to agree with what I said. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Anthony and I saw it very clearly.”
“Then I believe there's something wrong with your eyes! We're enemies! Why would he buy me food?” There was no way that Thalia would believe what Benjamin said.
Benjamin thought for a moment and asked, “Maybe Mr. Dave has a crush on you?”
“Maybe the Earth will explode one day. Do you believe it?”
“Is there a need for you to overreact?”
Thalia scoffed, “Isn't it scary if Mars crashes into Earth?”
