Chapter 416
Keh stared at Benjamin for the longest time as he contemted a suitable reply. They were in
public, after all.
Eventually, he asked, “Are you hurt?”
Benjamin shook his head and answered, “No. I''m okay.”
Just then, Thalia stepped forward and asked usatorily, “What are you ying at, Keh? How
could you whisk him away at a whim? You could''ve frightened the poor kid to death!”
Thalia''s usation prompted Keh to exin, “I''ve been kind enough not to use you of
abducting my son to this ce. Why are you turning the me on me now?”
“I...”
“Daddy, I wanted Thalia to apany me!” Anthony piped up.
“No, it was me!” Benjamin argued, fighting with his brother to shoulder the me.
Thalia subconsciously smiled at the young boys'' antics. She was delighted to see how they were
protecting her.
Looks like I didn''t adore them for nothing.
Then, she arched her brow smugly and shot Keh a challenging look. “See that? I didn''t kidnap
them. In fact, they kidnapped me. I suppose you should pay me some protection fees instead, Mr.
Hamilton.”
“You call that protection?” Keh fired back.
Thalia argued, “They''re safe and healthy!”
Scoffing, Keh replied tly, “Okay. I''ll settle the score with you soon.”
“Fine! I''ll be waiting!”
Please! I''m not scared of Keh at all!
Meanwhile, Keh refrained frommenting on Thalia''s behavior after realizing how protective his
sons were of her. Doing so would only backfire and hurt his rtionship with them instead.
Dave, on the other hand, was still overwhelmed with shock.
“J, this is your son too?” Dave croaked, utterly incredulous.
Calmly, Keh nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Your biological child?”
That earned Dave a disdainful look from Keh, who questioned, “What''s with your question? Do you
have a child who''s not your biological offspring?”
Dave sputtered in reply, “I don''t have a kid!”
As an afterthought, Keh added, “I have twins.” He realized his mistake and corrected himself. “To
be urate, I have triplets.”
“Triplets?” Bewildered, Dave stammered, “T-There''s another one?”
He spun around and surveyed his surroundings as though worried a third child would materialize out of
thin air.
Anthony dered, “You can stop looking, Mr. Handsome. My younger sister isn''t here.”
Dave turned to look at Keh''s eldest son and asked, “So the two of you have a younger sister?”
Nodding, Anthony added, “Yes! She''s really pretty and adorable!”
Dave had no words to express his astonishment.
What on earth happened to Keh these past few years? How did he suddenly end up with three
kids? Two sons and a daughter! What kind of luck is this?
Before he could ask further questions, Keh said, “I know you''re bursting with questions, and I
promise to answer them on the way back.”
He firmly put a stop to Dave''s otherwise-imminent onught of queries.
“Let''s go!”
Anthony stared at them and asked, “Where are we going, Daddy?”
“Well, for starters, we''re going somewhere safer than this ce!” replied Keh.
“Our luggage is still in the hotel.”
“I''ll get someone to retrieve it for you.”
Eventually, Anthony nodded and went along with his father''s wishes.
Suddenly, Thalia dered, “You all go ahead. I won''t be joining.”
“Why?” asked Anthony.
She nced at Keh and Dave before saying softly, “It''s not convenient.”
Dave retorted, “What''s so inconvenient? Because we''re all male?”
Thalia remained silent, but the boys immediately understood her reasons.
She addressed Anthony and Benjamin, “It''s fine. Don''t worry about me. I have some business to attend
to anyway. You can call me anytime. I haven''t been to Spaunia for many years, so I''ll take this time to
do some sightseeing as well.”
Unconvinced, Benjamin protested, “But—”
“I won''t change hotels. You cane here to meet me anytime,” reassured Thalia.
At that juncture, Anthony and Benjamin had little choice but to agree with her decision.
Thalia said, “Well, stay safe. I''ll be going back in!”
Anthony nodded, drawing a smile from Thalia.
Before she left, she nced at Dave, who suddenly thought she looked familiar. He wondered if he had
crossed paths with her in the past.
On the way home, Keh arranged for the children to have a car to themselves while he sat in
another with Dave.
Away from prying ears, Dave asked Keh, “Did you say she was from Darz?”
Keh nodded.
Dave mulled over the revtion. Suddenly, he connected the dots and recalled why Thalia seemed so
familiar. “Is she Darz Ace?”
Keh nodded in response.
Confused, Dave questioned, “Why didn''t you say so earlier? We should''ve captured her and impaired
Darz''s capabilities. Wouldn''t that have been better?”
“We''d do better to reduce than to make new enemies. It''s unwise for our antagonism with Darz to
proceed further,” replied Keh softly.
Fury glinted in Dave''s eyes. He asked seriously, “You were not to me for that incident years ago.
They fired the first shot. Do you think they''ll let things go just because you''ve taken the high road?”
After some thought, Keh answered, “We''ll talk about that incident next time. There''s something
more urgent to attend to at the moment.”
“What?”
Keh dropped the bombshell. “Both Anthony and Benjamin are members of Darz!”
Dave was understandably bbergasted.
He stared at his boss agape.
Now he understood Keh''s decision to make peace with his longtime enemy.
Dave muttered, “Darz is abominable. They''re even targeting children these days...”
“The children voluntarily joined Darz!” exined Keh.
Dave had calmed down considerably by then. After going through an emotional rollercoaster, he had
gotten used to it.
He looked at Keh and said, “Is there anything else that''s crazy? Hit me with them!”
“That''s all,” Keh deadpanned.
“Are you sure?”
Keh considered his question carefully before nodding. “I''m quite sure.”
Suddenly, Dave snickered andmented, “No wonder you''ve been acting so strangely these days.
Okay, wait, you have to tell me. What''s with the kids?”
Keh summarized the situation for his subordinate.
“So I''m guessing the children''s mother and the person you''re trying to find are one and the same?”
asked Dave.
Scrunching his brows, Keh voiced, “You seem to have rather strong doubts about the situation.”
Dave chuckled and exined, “Sorry. I really couldn''t tell that she''s a mother of three.”
Arching a brow, Keh said, “Well, she''s a natural beauty.”

As Dave stared at Keh''s smug expression, he instantly understood his boss'' earlier anxiety.
She was never as simple as a girlfriend to him. He''s infatuated with her!
Dave could not help but envy Keh.
