Dave was caught off guard.
It felt as if someone had struck the softest part of his heart.
At that moment, Denise hugged him and whispered softly, “Mr. Dave, I will miss you.”
Upon hearing those words, a gentle smile graced his noble face. His eyes were tender when he said, “I'll miss you, too.”
At that moment, Denise looked up at him. “After we're all gone, remember to eat well. No matter how many things you have to do, no matter how busy you are, your health is your real wealth.”
Listening to Denise's instructions, Dave nodded. “All right. I've got it.”
It seemed as if he knew he was just placating herself, so Denise sighed deeply. “Forget it. I know it's pointless to say anything. I might as well introduce you to a girlfriend later.”
Upon hearing this, Dave slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
“Mr. Dave, let me know what kind of girls you prefer, so I can find one for you,” Denise said.
Dave laughed helplessly. “All right. I understand.”
“Mr. Dave, goodbye.” Denise was reluctant to leave.
“Goodbye.” Dave's voice was full of reluctance.
During their time there, his life was filled with people and joy, and the once-empty house seemed to have the feeling of a home.
Dave knew things would change after that.
Dave knew how much he was reluctant to part, yet all good things had to come to an end.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at them and said, “If there's any news about Kenneth, make sure to notify me immediately.”
Natasha nodded at him.
“Go on,” Dave said.
Without another word, Natasha turned around, ready to board the plane and leave.
Just then, a voice came from behind.
“Hold on.”
“Wait!”
Hearing the voice, they turned around.
There, Miguel was seen running over from not too far away.
Upon seeing him, Anthony's eyes slightly narrowed.
Everyone knew who Miguel was there for. Natasha glanced at him, then said, “I'll go up first and wait.”
Anthony nodded. “I'll be quick.”
Natasha didn't say a word. She just turned around and left.
Dave stood still, watching her retreating figure. His feelings at that moment were unfathomable.
Right then, Spencer and Thalia, who were off to the side, also returned.
Upon seeing Dave, they came to a halt.
“Let me say a few words,” said Spencer.
Thalia nodded. “I'll go up first.”
And so she, too, turned around and walked toward the airplane.
Then, Spencer shifted his gaze toward Dave. “I owe you much for your care during this time. I know I've caused you quite a bit of trouble. In any case, thank you.”
Dave chuckled softly. “Kenneth's friends are my friends. Don't worry about it. We're all family here.”
“Since it's come to this, I won't stand on ceremony,” Spender said. “If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. But you should know my line of work. People who come to me usually aren't up to any good. So, I wish you a lifetime of never needing my services.”
Dave laughed. “We'll meet again if destiny allows.”
“We'll never meet again.”
As they were exchanging pleasantries and saying their goodbyes, Miguel suddenly came running over, all out of breath.
When he finally stopped in front of Anthony, he was still panting heavily.
“Thank goodness I made it in time...” Miguel looked at Anthony, his eyes filled with a deep sense of resentment.
Even though Anthony was just a child, his eyes are filled with maturity. “Are you this tired?”
“Miguel!”
Hearing Anthony enunciate his name syllable by syllable, Miguel felt as if he was being reprimanded. He jolted, then immediately let go of Anthony.
Anthony's gaze swept over the people nearby. Upon noticing their subtle, ambiguous smiles, he narrowed his eyes and gazed at Miguel. “Be a man! If you need to talk, just talk! Why did you hug me?”
Miguel didn't feel anything unusual. Instead, he smiled at him. “Master, you're not getting shy, are you?”
Anthony feigned a cough. “Shy? I have no idea what you're talking about.”
Miguel laughed. His expression seemed like he knew more than he was letting on.
“Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving!” Anthony stated bluntly.
“Don't you feel a bit reluctant to leave me?” Miguel asked.
“How about you come with me?” Anthony asked.
“Well...” Miguel turned to glance at Dave, then withdrew his gaze and said, “I can't leave.”
“If that's the case, what's the point of all that pointless chatter?”
Miguel didn't know what to say to that. Does Master not have emotions?
“Goodbye.” Without any intention of saying more, Anthony turned around and left.
Suddenly, Miguel called out, “Wait!”
Anthony stopped in his tracks and looked back at Miguel. “Is there anything else?”
At that moment, Miguel suddenly pulled out a lollipop from his pocket.
“Master, this is for you,” Miguel said.
As Anthony watched, there was a moment when it seemed as if he had returned to the first time he saw Miguel. Back then, Miguel also handed him a lollipop.
After a glance, Anthony directly took it from Miguel's hand.
Seeing that, Miguel suddenly burst into laughter.
“Master, you've accepted my gift, so I will officially become your disciple!” Miguel said to him.
