Chapter 417


    Once they arrived at Dave''s house, Keh settled the boys in a bedroom.


    Before he left, he said, “Rest earlier tonight. We''ll talk tomorrow morning.”


    “Do we have to talk about it?” asked Anthony.


    Keh turned around and asked, “What do you think?”


    “Why don''t we talk about it now instead of leaving it for tomorrow? How can I sleep well if I''m worrying


    over it all night?” argued Anthony.


    His father replied drily, “You didn''t seem that worried when you were sneakily trailing me.”


    Anthony wisely remained silent.


    His silence drew a smirk from Keh, who turned to leave the room.


    Suddenly, Benjamin asked, “Daddy, is there any news on Nat yet?”


    He turned around and stared at his younger son. Hesitation shed through his eyes before he said


    reassuringly, “We have news, but I always arrive a step toote. Don''t worry. She''s safe now, and I''ll


    make sure I''m notte again!”


    Benjamin nodded. “Okay.”


    “Get some rest.”


    Finally, Keh left their room.


    Once the door closed, Anthony heaved a sigh of relief and turned to his brother. “Why did Daddy put us


    in the same room tonight?”


    “How should I know?”


    “Don''t you think Daddy''s acting strangely tonight?” asked Anthony.


    Benjamin gave his brother''s question some serious thought before nodding. “He''s a little weird.”


    Anthony hopped onto the bed and muttered, “I''m sure Daddy has something up his sleeves for


    tomorrow!”


    “I''ll be counting on you tomorrow!”


    Benjamin''s crypticment befuddled Anthony. “Why?”


    “Because you''re the only one who can y Daddy at his own game!”


    Anthony narrowed his eyes and asked, “Is that apliment?”


    Benjamin merely retorted, “What do you think Thalia would say to answer your question?”


    His older brother immediately lost interest and said, “Don''t pick up bad habits from Thalia.”


    “I think Thalia''s words make a lot of sense!”


    “Don''t blindly follow other people''s lives. Everyone is unique and has their own path to follow!” With


    that, Anthony flopped down on the bed.


    Benjamin realized the problem with their sleeping arrangement as he watched Anthony bunching up


    the nkets. Frowning, he asked, “How can I sleep if you do that?”


    “Ask Daddy to give you your own room, then,” came Anthony''s muffled reply.


    “Why don''t you go instead?”


    Anthony insisted, “I took the bed first.”


    Unwilling to back off, Benjamin crawled onto the bed and began fighting with his brother for the


    nkets.


    Meanwhile, Keh had headed downstairs after leaving the boys'' room.


    Dave was resting on a couch in the living room. When he spotted Keh, he could not help but


    mused out loud, “Has this all been a fantastical dream?”


    Keh plonked himself on the couch and deadpanned, “Why don''t you shoot yourself? Then you''ll


    know!”


    Dave was not amused.


    He abruptly approached Keh and blurted, “I always thought you were a firm believer in


    bachelorhood. I can''t believe your values have changed so much. You even have kids now! Three

    kids!”


    Cautiously, he continued, “Actually, how do you feel about the whole situation?”


    “What feelings about what situation?” Keh side-eyed his curious subordinate.


    “Having children, of course! How does it feel like?”


    Dave truly struggled to wrap his head around the whole idea.


    Keh has always been the farthest thing from a fatherly figure. How did he suddenly end up with two


    kids? Wait, it''s three kids!


    Dave''s curious expression brought a frown to Keh''s expression. “Erm, it feels kind of strange yet


    wonderful?”


    “How so?”


    “Do you really want to know?”


    “Yes!” Dave nodded vigorously.


    “Why don''t you have a kid yourself?” Keh replied.


    That effectively shut Dave up.


    That''s not something I would even remotely consider!


    “Enough with the jokes!”


    Keh exined himself, “I''m not kidding. Having a son is nothing special, but once you have a


    daughter, you''ll know exactly how wonderful it is!”


    “In what way?” Dave was perplexed.


    Keh thought of Denise. His gaze softened as he said, “She''ll stick to you twenty-four-seven. She''s


    always adorable and cares about you; she''ll say the sweetest things to lift your mood. She''s sensible,


    cute, and caring. Once you look at her, all your worries will disappear in an instant.”


    s, Dave remained as baffled as ever.


    He simply could not picture Keh cuddling a daughter lovingly.


    Dave asked disbelievingly, “Are you sure it''s that magical?”


    “Of course! In fact, you''d feelpelled to give her the best of everything in the entire world.” The


    tender expression on Keh''s face seemed genuine enough.


    Even Dave''s doubts began to waver.


    Noticing his subordinate''s thoughtful expression, Keh said, “Trust me. Once you have a kid, you''ll


    understand how it feels. That kid will be your entire world.”


    Dave snapped out of his thoughts. After a pause, he replied, “Have a kid? That won''t do! I''ll need to


    have more kids than you!”


    “Do you think anyone can be as lucky as me?” taunted Keh.


    Right after he spoke, he immediately added, “No. Do you think everyone has my superb talent and


    genes?”


    “You''re shameless!”


    Keh smirked in response.


    Dave looked at him and said, “Show me your daughter''s photo.”


    Shaking his head, Keh replied, “Nah. She''s too precious.”


    “Come on!”


    Keh slowly took out his phone. Coincidentally, it began to ring with an iing video call.


    He immediately answered the call and greeted the caller, “Denise!”


    “Daddy, did I disturb your rest?” Denise asked sweetly once the line connected.


    The fair-skinned girl looked adorable and elegant in a beautiful dress. Her ck hair gleamed under the


    cute hat she was wearing.


    “Not at all.”


    Dave could not resist leaning forward to take a look at the girl, but Keh deliberately moved away,


    causing the former to frown unhappily.


    Keh peppered his daughter with questions. “What''s the matter? Why are you calling at such ate


    time? Where are you?”


    “I''m in Sharon''s car. She''s touching up her makeup. We have a scene togetherter, so I wanted to call


    you while I had some free time. I miss you, Daddy!”


    Dave listened to the young girl''s sweet and caring words in disbelief and envy.


    At that moment, he understood why Keh had called his experience wonderful.


    Amid Dave''s musings, Keh said to his daughter, “I miss you too.”


    Denise piped up, “Thene back quickly with Nat! My heart feels so empty without the two of you at


    home!”


    “I know. We''ll be back as soon as we can!” promised Keh.


    “Okay!” Denise nodded earnestly. She added, “It''ste, Daddy. You should get some rest. I need to film


    my scene now!”


    “Okay. Take care.”


    “I know. I love you, Daddy.”


    She hung up after the sweet farewell message.


    Keh stared at his phone with the happiest smile on his face before keeping it, blissfully unaware of


    the speechless Dave beside him.
