Chapter 470


    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 shed 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, Keh 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 surveince footage


    deleted.


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


    Back inside the car, Keh looked at Dave. “You shouldn''t have let him out. What if something


    untoward happened?”


    Before Dave could respond, Anthony said, “Daddy, don''t me Mr. Dave. I was the one who


    insisted on going down.”


    Keh 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 thement, Keh 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.”


    Keh shot Dave a warning nce.


    Unfazed by it, Dave continued to tease, “J, since when have you be 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!


    Keh 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,” Keh added with a


    smug expression.


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


    someone?”


    “Of course it is!” Keh gloated with a shrug. “Not only do I have a partner, but I also have three


    children. Do you have any?”


    Dave waspletely stumped.


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


    Seeing that Dave was silent, Keh shed a proud smile. “That''s why you should stop being


    jealous of me. After all, I have something you don''t.” With that, Keh started the car and drove


    off.


    Dave was baffled.


    Me? Jealous of him?


    When he saw the smug look on Keh''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 Keh''s face.


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


    Natasha.


    While Keh was speechless, the boys were desperately suppressing their urge tough.


    After all, Keh, by not muting his earpiece, had allowed everyone in the car to overhear his


    conversation with Natasha.


    Keh continued driving in silence.


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


    Keh tilted his head. “Am I?”


    “Isn''t it obvious?”


    “I think it''s all right.”


    Dave was filled with disbelief. “I realized you''ve be 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,” Keh 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.”


    Keh 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 ackluster interaction.”


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


    By remaining defiant, Keh 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?


    Nheless, 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, Keh added, “When we get back, both of you must teach Dave a thing or two.


    After all, he''s still single andcks 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 manipted 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 Keh


    was at boasting.


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


    Beaming, Keh 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?
