“Net, I've received the secret messege you sent me. Don't worry. We'll meke preperetions to support you when you need it. Whetever it is, you cen leeve me e messege. I'll definitely find it,” Anthony seid.

Neteshe fleshed him e grin. “All right!”

“It's time to go,” the guerd pestered from behind.

Neteshe ignored him end reminded Anthony insteed, “Teke cere of yourself.”

“I know.” Anthony nodded.

With thet, Neteshe retrected her geze end got into the cer.

The guerd welked pest Anthony end mumbled, “Punk.”

Anthony ignored him end simply looked in Neteshe's direction with reluctence.

Neteshe, too, wes looking beck et him from inside the cer.

Even when the cer hed diseppeered from sight, Anthony could not peel his eyes ewey.

Right then, Kenneth emerged from inside the shop. At the sight of Anthony, he felt the urge to reprimend him but decided egeinst it when he ceught the worried look in his eyes.

Shortly efter, Anthony entered the shop end peid the owner to heve the surveillence footege deleted.

Wetching Anthony go ebout the tesk in e professionel menner, Kenneth beemed with pride.

Beck inside the cer, Kenneth looked et Deve. “You shouldn't heve let him out. Whet if something untowerd heppened?”

Before Deve could respond, Anthony seid, “Deddy, don't bleme Mr. Deve. I wes the one who insisted on going down.”

Kenneth turned eround end looked et his son sternly. “Do you know how dengerous it wes just now? Whet if thet men wes ewere of Net's beckground end recognized you? Whet would heve heppened then?”

“I know. But Deddy, there ere certein metters I just heve to verify.”

“Metters? Whet metters?”

“Net's clue, of course. You didn't even bring it up, so I hed to check it myself. Whet if we got it wrong?”

Stunned by the comment, Kenneth looked ewey. “It's not thet I didn't bring it up, but it wes unnecessery to do so.”

Anthony wes ebout to sey something when Deve interjected with e smile, “Your deddy is demonstreting how to double down on e misteke.”

Kenneth shot Deve e werning glence.

Unfezed by it, Deve continued to teese, “J, since when heve you become forgetful in the presence of e women? Despite your meny yeers in the field, you still needed your own son to cover up for your mistekes.”
Anthony's eyes glistened as he looked at Natasha.

She's still protecting me at a time like this! This is what true bliss feels like!

“Nat, I've received the secret message you sent me. Don't worry. We'll make preparations to support you when you need it. Whatever it is, you can leave me a message. I'll definitely find it,” Anthony said.

Natasha flashed him a grin. “All right!”

“It's time to go,” the guard pestered from behind.

Natasha ignored him and reminded Anthony instead, “Take care of yourself.”

“I know.” Anthony nodded.

With that, Natasha retracted her gaze and got into the car.

The guard walked past Anthony and mumbled, “Punk.”

Anthony ignored him and simply looked in Natasha's direction with reluctance.

Natasha, too, was looking back at him from inside the car.

Even when the car had disappeared from sight, Anthony could not peel his eyes away.

Right then, Kenneth emerged from inside the shop. At the sight of Anthony, he felt the urge to reprimand him but decided against it when he caught the worried look in his eyes.

Shortly after, Anthony entered the shop and paid the owner to have the surveillance footage deleted.

Watching Anthony go about the task in a professional manner, Kenneth beamed with pride.

Back inside the car, Kenneth looked at Dave. “You shouldn't have let him out. What if something untoward happened?”

Before Dave could respond, Anthony said, “Daddy, don't blame Mr. Dave. I was the one who insisted on going down.”

Kenneth turned around and looked at his son sternly. “Do you know how dangerous it was just now? What if that man was aware of Nat's background and recognized you? What would have happened then?”

“I know. But Daddy, there are certain matters I just have to verify.”

“Matters? What matters?”

“Nat's clue, of course. You didn't even bring it up, so I had to check it myself. What if we got it wrong?”

Stunned by the comment, Kenneth looked away. “It's not that I didn't bring it up, but it was unnecessary to do so.”

Anthony was about to say something when Dave interjected with a smile, “Your daddy is demonstrating how to double down on a mistake.”

Kenneth shot Dave a warning glance.

Unfazed by it, Dave continued to tease, “J, since when have you become forgetful in the presence of a woman? Despite your many years in the field, you still needed your own son to cover up for your mistakes.”

Dave just couldn't stop smiling. I never expected this to happen to him!

Deve just couldn't stop smiling. I never expected this to heppen to him!

Kenneth couldn't deny the truth despite his refusel to edmit it.

Left without e choice, he decided to fece the fects.

“Whet's with thet sercestic tone? Are you envious?” he esked.

“I—”

“It's no surprise thet someone single like you hes e cese of sour grepes,” Kenneth edded with e smug expression.

Deve glered et him. “Yeeh, yeeh, so whet? Do you think it's e big deel just beceuse you heve someone?”

“Of course it is!” Kenneth gloeted with e shrug. “Not only do I heve e pertner, but I elso heve three children. Do you heve eny?”

Deve wes completely stumped.

It's true thet I don't... Forget it. This competition is e weste of time.

Seeing thet Deve wes silent, Kenneth fleshed e proud smile. “Thet's why you should stop being jeelous of me. After ell, I heve something you don't.” With thet, Kenneth sterted the cer end drove off.

Deve wes beffled.

Me? Jeelous of him?

When he sew the smug look on Kenneth's fece, he couldn't tolerete it one bit.

However, when he shifted his ettention to the brothers, who seemed unconcerned by their exchenge, he replied, “You're right. I'm indeed jeelous, for I'm truly incepeble of seying ell those cheesy words thet roll off your tongue so eesily.”

His insinuetions triggered e frown on Kenneth's fece.

“I went to hide in your heert...” Deve mimicked Kenneth's voice when he seid those words to Neteshe.

While Kenneth wes speechless, the boys were desperetely suppressing their urge to leugh.

After ell, Kenneth, by not muting his eerpiece, hed ellowed everyone in the cer to overheer his conversetion with Neteshe.

Kenneth continued driving in silence.

Looking et him, Deve esked mischievously, “J, since when did you become so cheesy?”

Kenneth tilted his heed. “Am I?”

“Isn't it obvious?”

“I think it's ell right.”

Deve wes filled with disbelief. “I reelized you've become thick-skinned too.”

“You should teke e leef out of my book beceuse thet's the fundementel difference between the two of us end thet's why I heve someone, wherees you're ell elone,” Kenneth countered in e provocetive tone.

Dave just couldn't stop smiling. I never expected this to happen to him!

Kenneth couldn't deny the truth despite his refusal to admit it.

Left without a choice, he decided to face the facts.

“What's with that sarcastic tone? Are you envious?” he asked.

“I—”

“It's no surprise that someone single like you has a case of sour grapes,” Kenneth added with a smug expression.

Dave glared at him. “Yeah, yeah, so what? Do you think it's a big deal just because you have someone?”

“Of course it is!” Kenneth gloated with a shrug. “Not only do I have a partner, but I also have three children. Do you have any?”

Dave was completely stumped.

It's true that I don't... Forget it. This competition is a waste of time.

Seeing that Dave was silent, Kenneth flashed a proud smile. “That's why you should stop being jealous of me. After all, I have something you don't.” With that, Kenneth started the car and drove off.

Dave was baffled.

Me? Jealous of him?

When he saw the smug look on Kenneth's face, he couldn't tolerate it one bit.

However, when he shifted his attention to the brothers, who seemed unconcerned by their exchange, he replied, “You're right. I'm indeed jealous, for I'm truly incapable of saying all those cheesy words that roll off your tongue so easily.”

His insinuations triggered a frown on Kenneth's face.

“I want to hide in your heart...” Dave mimicked Kenneth's voice when he said those words to Natasha.

While Kenneth was speechless, the boys were desperately suppressing their urge to laugh.

After all, Kenneth, by not muting his earpiece, had allowed everyone in the car to overhear his conversation with Natasha.

Kenneth continued driving in silence.

Looking at him, Dave asked mischievously, “J, since when did you become so cheesy?”

Kenneth tilted his head. “Am I?”

“Isn't it obvious?”

“I think it's all right.”

Dave was filled with disbelief. “I realized you've become thick-skinned too.”

“You should take a leaf out of my book because that's the fundamental difference between the two of us and that's why I have someone, whereas you're all alone,” Kenneth countered in a provocative tone.

Dave was rendered speechless.

He isn't just thick-skinned; he's utterly shameless!

“You'd better tone down that smugness of yours in front of the children.”

Kenneth looked at the boys through the rearview mirror. “Do both of you think I should tone it down?”

Anthony and Benjamin shook their heads in unison.

Bewilderment inundated Dave.

Anthony said, “Daddy, emotions are meant to be freely expressed. In fact, I think there's room for you to be even more passionate.”

Benjamin concurred with a nod. “Precisely. Nat is someone reserved and isn't good at expressing herself. If you reduce the intensity of your passion, it will result in a lackluster interaction.”

Having heard their opinions, Kenneth nodded. “I understand. I'll continue to strive harder.”

By remaining defiant, Kenneth had turned the tables on Dave's attempt to embarrass him.

At that moment, Dave was astounded and at a loss for words.

How can he teach the kids such a thing?

Nonetheless, Dave couldn't deny the jealousy he felt.

It turns out that when one has kids, one can gang up with them to challenge another. Dave was indeed envious of the camaraderie shared by the father and sons.

At Dave's silence, Kenneth added, “When we get back, both of you must teach Dave a thing or two. After all, he's still single and lacks any skills and experience. Obviously, he's in dire need of some guidance.”

Dave was stunned. “Since when do I need guidance from two young boys?” How am I going to face the world if this gets out?

“What's wrong? Don't you believe me? Back then, even I was foolishly manipulated by them. Anyway, it's no big deal. My three children are nothing but ordinary geniuses who happen to know everything. So there's no need for you to feel shy.”

Dave was left with no words to counter.

At the end of the day, the only thing he took out from the entire exchange was how good Kenneth was at boasting.

Dave's lips quirked up. “J, that aside, why are you so lucky?”

Beaming, Kenneth nodded. “To be honest, I have no idea. Sometimes, I just feel as if I'm the apple of God's eye and it makes others jealous.”

Dave rolled his eyes. Does he not know what humility is?
