Thalia was dumbstruck by Benjamin's words.
She stared at him for a long time, not knowing how to respond.
Even a child understands that. It's impossible that Spencer doesn't understand it. Perhaps he just doesn't like me in the same way that I like him!
Thalia suppressed her emotions and smiled. “What are you talking about? I'm over it now!”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“Stop deceiving yourself!”
Thalia poked him with her finger again. “You were so gentle to me just now. Why did you change so quickly?”
“I just feel sorry for you.”
Thalia smiled. Of course, she understood. “I'm not deceiving myself. I just need some time. Don't worry. I'll be fine!”
“The best way to heal from a broken relationship is to start a new one! Maybe you'll forget about him soon!”
“With who? Do you want me to just grab a stranger on the street?”
“There's one right in front of you!”
Thalia looked at Dave in front of her and shook her head. “I swear by my sixth sense, he doesn't have any feelings for me!”
“But the way he acts around you—”
“Maybe he's just a gentleman! That doesn't mean that he has feelings for me. I can see it from his eyes!”
“His eyes?”
“When you like someone, you'll look at her all the time despite yourself. Your eyes will sparkle whenever you see her, and you can't help thinking about her. Do you see these on him?”
Benjamin thought carefully for a moment. Other than the food, I can't think of anything else...
“I know you care about me, but I know what to do. Give me some time, and I'll be all right!” said Thalia.
Benjamin nodded.
The two walked behind Dave while talking, and they soon arrived at a hidden place.
Seeing the car parked in front of him, Anthony and Benjamin immediately stepped forward to take a look. After confirming that it was Kenneth's car, Anthony immediately looked around.
Dave knew what Anthony was thinking. “I only saw the car when I came here just now, and I didn't see your daddy. I searched around and found nothing still.”
Anthony retracted his gaze and looked at him with doubts in his eyes.
“If you don't believe me, you can look around. I'll wait for you right here!” said Dave.
“Mr. Dave, I didn't say I don't believe you. I'm just thinking maybe Daddy was not around when you came over just now. But is there a possibility that he's back now?”
“You got a point.” Dave nodded and looked at him. “But according to your daddy's personality, do you think he will expose himself by leaving his car at such an obvious spot?”
“He won't, but maybe Daddy thinks that the most dangerous place is the safest place.”
A conflicted look flashed across Dave's eyes.
“Just wait for us here, Mr. Dave. We'll look around.”
“I'll go with you.”
Anthony thought for a moment and nodded.
With that, they started to look around and even knocked on doors to look for Kenneth. Unfortunately, they found nothing.
Dave's expression remained indifferent and emotionless.
As they returned to the car again, Anthony was a little upset.
Dave looked at him. “Anthony, he's J! He won't let us find him so easily!”
Despite knowing that what Dave said made sense, Anthony could not help feeling depressed. Nonetheless, he quickly regained his composure and looked up at them. “It's okay. Since Daddy is not showing up, we'll find a way to make him show up!”
Dave nodded in agreement.
“Mr. Dave, have you really thought about it? Won't you feel bad about the car?” asked Benjamin.
“I think its sacrifice is worth it.”
“Thank you, Mr. Dave!”
Dave responded with a smile.
Anthony looked at Thalia and suggested, “Do you want to do it?”
Thalia was stunned. “Me? Why don't you ask the owner of the car to do it?”
“This car belongs to Mr. Dave. I think it's too cruel to ask him to do it himself. You do it!” said Anthony.
In fact, Thalia did not mind doing it. “I can do it, but I'm afraid someone will—”
“I'll do it!” Dave interjected, then turned to look at them. “Take a few steps back!”
The three of them immediately stepped back.
Dave stepped forward and looked at his car. Upon deliberation, he finally set the car on fire.
Within seconds, the car was engulfed by the fire.
