At that moment, Boss curled his lips. “Don't worry. I won't affect your plan.”
“Okay. I'm glad to hear that.” Natasha nodded in relief before getting back to enjoying her meal as if his injury was a minor hindrance to her.
She could not care less as long as he did not disrupt her plan.
Although he did not establish any form of relationship with her, the acknowledgment of her reaction annoyed him.
He shot her a meaningful look and said nothing. Then, he left the restaurant with the help of his subordinate.
After he left, Natasha continue to sit in her spot and ate her food. Despite her graceful and casual demeanor, she was actually feeling curious and bewildered.
From her conversation with Boss earlier, she realized there was a conflict between Boss and Kenneth, not to mention a fatal conflict.
More importantly, if her guess was correct, Kenneth was also here, and he was there because of her.
Besides, she reckoned that Boss and Kenneth must still be in touch with one another.
She had said all those things earlier because she had considered that point. She did not want to let Boss know, nor did she want him to stir anything between Kenneth and her.
Her heart palpitated for some reason when she thought of that.
Before her departure, Natasha had left everything in Kenneth's care, including Terrence, because she believed Kenneth would make it.
Unexpectedly, he had followed her to Spaunia.
Natasha was not questioning Kenneth's feelings toward herself. It was because she lacked the self-confidence to think that someone would do that for her.
Even until that moment, Natasha remained doubtful.
Despite her skepticism, she knew she had to clarify that matter as soon as possible.
Only then could she prevent the most undesirable situation from happening.
Meanwhile, Dave found an ordinary hotel.
The number of people there was less to begin with. Therefore, the hotel they stayed in did not have many occupants.
That night, Anthony, Benjamin, and Thalia were sitting on the balcony outside.
Right then, Dave had just finished talking on the phone. When he saw the three of them sitting there, he walked over.
Anthony looked at Dave and asked, “How are things, Mr. Dave? Did you manage to contact Daddy?”
Dave gazed at Anthony and shook his head.
Anthony was a little disappointed to hear that.
“I asked Miguel to track your daddy's location, but to no avail,” Dave said.
“Daddy's phone is installed with a chip, so there's no way to track his device,” Anthony replied.
Dave narrowed his eyes. “How did you know that?”
Anthony was stumped. He could not possibly tell Dave that he had tried locating his father using that method before.
Anthony considered answering that the existence of the chip was the most plausible reason among many others.
Still, despite thinking of that excuse, Anthony responded honestly, “I-I saw it by accident.”
Dave regarded Anthony with a pensive look in silence afterward.
“We can't continue searching aimlessly, right?” Benjamin said. Then, he turned to look at Dave. “Mr. Dave, do you have any other idea?”
“I do,” Dave replied.
“What?”
“We wait.”
Anthony and Benjamin were rendered speechless.
What a ridiculous idea.
“This is the only thing left for us to do,” Dave said.
Anthony stared at Dave. “Mr. Dave, we don't have much time left. Who knows what Daddy will do the next moment? We must find him and stop him now. Otherwise, things will spiral beyond our imagination.”
“Do you have a better idea, then?” Dave asked.
Anthony frowned because he could not come up with any constructive suggestion.
Once Kenneth decided not to answer their calls or reply to their messages, the chances of locating him would be extremely slim. After all, Kenneth was a capable man. It was effortless for him to avoid their tracking.
Thalia, sitting at one side, swept her eyes across them and could not help but sneer.
