Kenneth swiftly replied: Don't watch dramas like these anymore.
Denise was still daydreaming. When she read Kenneth's reply, she was stunned. She asked: Why?
Kenneth: Those are trash content and not suitable for you.
Denise: Daddy, how could you take away my right to enjoy them?
Kenneth: Just don't watch them anymore.
Denise: Daddy, I will not stick my nose in your and Nat's affair anymore.
Anthony and Benjamin refused to comment on anything.
The group fell silent. Kenneth turned to look at Natasha once again. Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be taking a much-needed rest. Kenneth couldn't help but notice her delicate features. Her upturned nose and long lashes accentuated her beauty, while her fair skin and naturally pink lips gave her an effortless charm that needed no makeup to enhance.
When his eyes landed on his clenched-up jaw, Kenneth's thin lips pursed into a hard line. He knew well that Natasha was easygoing with most matters, but she loathed people lying to her.
Kenneth knew he had to find a way to explain things to her.
It took them almost an hour's drive before they finally reached their destination.
Natasha woke up when Kenneth stopped the car.
Just when he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. Kenneth had no choice but to pick up the call.
“Hello. We're here too. All right. Come over here.” After hanging up the call, Kenneth turned to look at Natasha. “That was Spencer. He has arrived and is on his way here.”
Natasha nodded.
Kenneth couldn't figure out whether she was mad from her nonchalant response.
He tried his luck and asked, “Nat, did you sleep well just now?”
“Quite well.”
“Then—”
Natasha turned to look at Anthony, who was sitting behind, and asked, “How are the arrangements?”
Kenneth could only eye Natasha, as he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
“Let me go first,” Anthony said.
“You alone?” Natasha asked.
Anthony nodded.
Natasha thought for a moment and said, “That works too.”
Just when Anthony was about to leave the car, Kenneth called out to him, “Anthony, wait.”
Anthony turned around to regard him.
Kenneth took something out and stuffed it into Anthony's ears.
“What's this?”
“Don't worry. We're not going to eavesdrop on your conversations. You can get in contact with us if anything comes up. Just tap it once to turn it on or off. I'll only be able to listen to you when it's turned on,” Kenneth explained.
Anthony nodded in response.
“Come on. Test it out.”
Anthony tapped on the device. “Hello, Daddy.”
It was crisp and clear on Kenneth's end. He gave Anthony a thumbs up and said, “It's all good.”
Anthony tapped on the device again, but Kenneth heard nothing this time.
“Great. It works,” Kenneth said.
Anthony nodded. “I'm going in, then.”
Spencer showed up when he was about to get out of the car.
Anthony was shocked when he noticed Spencer's red eyes. The latter looked as if he had pulled an all-nighter.
“Are you going to look for her?” Spencer asked.
Anthony nodded.
Spencer pursed his lips. “You must persuade her to come back. You must.”
“I'll try my best.”
Spencer nodded. Anthony was their only chance.
“Go on.”
Anthony got out of the car.
