Chapter 577


    Silence hung in the air for some time.


    Anthony and Benjamin exchanged nces before turning to peek at Keh.


    “Why are you guys not talking?” Denise questioned.


    Benjamin immediately walked over and covered her mouth.


    Keh''s gaze fell on them due to Benjamin''s action, and he narrowed his eyes.


    Denise broke free from Benjamin''s grasp and frowned at him. “What are you doing? If you guys


    don''t dare to say it, I''ll say it for you!”


    Anthony and Benjamin were speechless.


    No thanks!


    Keh examined them and questioned, “Is what Denise said true?”


    It was the truth even if they were reluctant to admit it.


    Anthony and Benjamin exchanged nces before the former braced himself and nodded.


    Keh fell silent.


    Nobody knew what to do in the wake of his silence.


    Anthony and Benjamin stood in one row. No one dared to say anything. It was as if they were


    waiting for Keh to lose it.


    A long whileter, Keh suddenly turned to look at Natasha and asked, “Nat, what do you think


    about this matter?”


    Everyone''s attention fell on Natasha.


    Natasha replied, “One must endure certain hardships before one seeds. I suppose this is their


    fate, and I will respect their decisions.”


    Upon hearing that, he nodded and thought about it for a while. “When are you guys leaving?”


    They had expected Keh to be angry, so they were taken aback momentarily as they saw his


    calm demeanor.


    Anthony was the first to snap back to reality and replied, “We will leave after you guys depart. Thalia


    wille and pick us up.”


    Hearing that, Keh frowned. “Can you dy it? One year would suffice. I suppose even a half-


    year dy is alright too.”

    They had just reunited. With one thing after another, Keh had not been able to spend time with


    them. Therefore, he felt slightly bitter about it when he suddenly heard they were leaving.


    Anthony rified, “Thalia said that a batch of new recruits is joining the organization this year, so


    she wanted us to join them since everyone is around the same age. We might miss out on the


    training if we wait another year.”


    Keh gave a slight nod. However, he did not say anything as his lips remained pursed.


    The air grew heavy. Denise''s eyes darted from side to side. She walked over to Keh and


    wrapped her arms around his neck. “Daddy, Tony and Ben may be leaving, but there''s still me. I''ll


    stay by your side!”


    Keh''s heart melted at her words. He stared at her, as his eyes lit up. “You aren''t leaving?”


    Denise shook her head. “I''m not going. I''m not as talented as Tony and Ben. The most pertinent


    thing is that I can''t bear to part with you guys. Also, I would like to try my hand at acting in my spare


    time. If I don''t be famous, I''ll just go home to inherit your assets. May I, Daddy?”


    Keh grinned. “I''m very pleased with this arrangement.”


    Denise grinned before giving him a mysterious look. “But, you don''t have a patriarchal mindset, do


    you? You wouldn''t leave thepany for Tony and Ben only and leave me with nothing, right?”


    “Patriarchal mindset?” When Keh heard that, he chuckled. “The Hamilton family never had a


    rule like that. We will always let thedies choose first. Whatever the men in our family want, they


    have to earn it!”


    Upon hearing that, Denise nodded. “Then, I''ll be at ease. Since I''ve already achieved sess in


    life, I can just unwind and enjoy myself.”


    Natasha smacked the back of her head gently the second she finished her sentence. “Who says


    you can rx and take it easy? The Watson family''s rule is you have to earn everything yourself!”


    Denise rubbed the back of her head. “Nat, I''m only imagining what a life that would be.”


    Everyoneughed at her words.


    At least there was one out of the three children staying with Keh. It was the only source of


    sce he had.


    At that moment, Keh nced at Anthony and Benjamin. “Although I don''t really like Darz, I


    have to admit they are indeed talented in certain fields. Since this is what you guys want to do, I will


    respect your decision just like Nat does.”


    Both Anthony''s and Benjamin''s eyes lit up.


    “Really?” Anthony asked.


    “Don''t act like you''re afraid of me. It''s not like you guys won''t go if I don''t agree to it.”


    Anthony broke into a peal ofughter.


    Of course not.


    “Daddy, don''t say that. We know from the start that you will agree to it!”


    “Oh? Is that so?”


    Both of them nodded.


    “If that''s the case, why do you guys not dare to tell me?” Keh questioned.


    “We were thinking of how to phrase it, but we didn''t expect you to be so nice about it. We''re


    extremely grateful and delighted to have you guys as parents!” Anthony replied.


    Keh had to admit he was very pleased upon hearing those words as a father.


    However, he pretended to be unperturbed. “Really?”


    Anthony immediately nodded his head.


    Keh''s gaze swept over him and fell on Benjamin.


    Benjamin naturally could not find it in him to say such words. However, he could agree to it, so he


    nodded vigorously. “Yes!”


    Keh''s smile instantly faded. “Stop buttering me up! Although I agreed, I still have some


    instructions for you.”


    The two children immediately straightened their backs. “Go ahead.”


    Keh stared at them. “First, make sure you''re safe in every circumstance.”


    “No problem!” Anthony nodded.


    “Second, you have to keep in touch with us often.”


    The two children nodded. “Certainly.”


    “Third...” Keh stared at them and pursed his lips. He did not continue for a long time.


    Third...


    The two children looked puzzled. “What''s the third thing?”


    Keh turned to look at Natasha for a brief second before smiling gently. He instructed slowly,


    “Third, you guys have toe back when Nat and I get married.”


    The kids widened their eyes when they heard that.


    “Daddy, Nat, are you guys getting married?” Denise was the first to speak up.


    “When? Nat, why didn''t you tell us?” Anthony added.


    Benjamin also chimed in, “Nat, why is it so sudden?”


    Natasha was also caught off guard by all their questions. “I didn''t know anything...”


    She turned to look at Keh. “What are you saying? When did I ever agree to marry you?”


    Keh replied confidently, “Isn''t this something that is bound to happen?”


    “What do you mean? Also, I didn''t agree to it, did I?” she asked.


    Keh narrowed his eyes. “Nat, are you a rascal?”


    Natasha was dumbfounded. “Me? How am I a rascal?”


    “Isn''t there a popr phrase that says that those who don''t date with marriage in mind are rascals?


    Nat, you are toying with me!” Keh uttered.
