Chapter 677

Kenneth swiftly replied: Don't watch dramas like these anymore.

Denise was still daydreaming. When she read Kenneth's reply, she was stunned. She asked: Why?

Kenneth: Those are trash content and not suitable for you.

Denise: Daddy, how could you take away my right to enjoy them?

Kenneth: Just don't watch them anymore.

Denise: Daddy, I will not stick my nose in your and Nat's affair anymore.

Anthony and Benjamin refused to comment on anything.

The group fell silent. Kenneth turned to look at Natasha once again. Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be taking a much-needed rest. Kenneth couldn't help but notice her delicate features. Her upturned nose and long lashes accentuated her beauty, while her fair skin and naturally pink lips gave her an effortless charm that needed no makeup to enhance.

When his eyes landed on his clenched-up jaw, Kenneth's thin lips pursed into a hard line. He knew well that Natasha was easygoing with most matters, but she loathed people lying to her.

Kenneth knew he had to replace a way to explain things to her.

It took them almost an hour's drive before they finally reached their destination.

Natasha woke up when Kenneth stopped the car.

Just when he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. Kenneth had no choice but to pick up the call.

"Hello. We're here too. All right. Come over here." After hanging up the call, Kenneth turned to look at Natasha. "That was Spencer. He has arrived and is on his way here."

Natasha nodded.

Kenneth couldn't figure out whether she was mad from her nonchalant response.

He tried his luck and asked, "Nat, did you sleep well just now?"

"Quite well."

"Then "

Natasha turned to look at Anthony, who was sitting behind, and asked, "How are the arrangements?"

Kenneth could only eye Natasha, as he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"Let me go first," Anthony said.

"You alone?" Natasha asked.

Anthony nodded.

Natasha thought for a moment and said, "That works too."

Just when Anthony was about to leave the car, Kenneth called out to him, "Anthony, wait."

Anthony turned around to regard him.

Kenneth took something out and stuffed it into Anthony's ears.

"What's this?"

"Don't worry. We're not going to eavesdrop on your conversations. You can get in contact with us if anything comes up. Just tap it once to turn it on or off. I'll only be able to listen to you when it's turned on," Kenneth explained.

Anthony nodded in response.

"Come on. Test it out."

Anthony tapped on the device. "Hello, Daddy."

It was crisp and clear on Kenneth's end. He gave Anthony a thumbs up and said, "It's all good."

Anthony tapped on the device again, but Kenneth heard nothing this time.

"Great. It works," Kenneth said.

Anthony nodded. "I'm going in, then."

Spencer showed up when he was about to get out of the car.

Anthony was shocked when he noticed Spencer's red eyes. The latter looked as if he had pulled an all-nighter.

"Are you going to look for her?" Spencer asked.

Anthony nodded.

Spencer pursed his lips. "You must persuade her to come back. You must."

"I'll try my best."

Spencer nodded. Anthony was their only chance.

"Go on."

Anthony got out of the car.

"Be careful," Natasha reminded him.

Anthony gestured an okay sign. "Don't worry, Nat." Then he left without turning back.

Spencer watched intently as Anthony entered the hotel. Only then did Natasha speak up. "Why, are you only going to come in after Thalia sees you?"

Only then did Spencer look away and get into the car.

Spencer usually seemed indifferent, but he looked as though he had aged a decade overnight right then. Gone was his usual vigorous self.

"Don't act all innocent when you brought it upon yourself. Just remember the lesson if you really feel guilty," Natasha said.

Spencer cast a glance at her. "If that hadn't happened, I would have let her go when she wanted to leave. But now-"

Natasha pursed her lips. "I will not run away from my responsibilities."

"Nat, I didn't mean it that way."

"It's all right. I know."

Spencer looked at her and decided against saying anything.

In the hotel, Anthony had no idea which room Thalia was in.

There were blind spots, so it was an arduous task to locate her through the surveillance footage.

Anthony approached the receptionist.

"Hello," Anthony said.

The receptionist's eyes glinted as she exclaimed, "It's you! Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You know me?"

"Didn't you stay in our hotel before?"

Anthony nodded immediately. "Yes."

He did not expect the receptionist to recognize him. Even God is on my side.

"Why? Do you need any help?" the receptionist asked.

"Um, do you still remember the girl who stayed here with me?"

"Yes. That was your sister, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Anthony put on an innocent face. "She's still staying here. I'm here to look for her, but I've forgotten the room number, and I can't get in touch with her right now. Could you tell me which room she's staying in?"

Perhaps Anthony was too adorable. The receptionist didn't think much before agreeing to his request. "Sure. Let me check."

Anthony flashed her a megawatt smile and said sweetly, "Thank you."

The receptionist smiled. "What's your sister's name?"

"Thalia Jacoway."

"We don't have a guest named Thalia Jacoway here," the receptionist said after checking the system. "Are you sure that your sister's staying here now?"

Anthony was befuddled. Didn't Thalia use her real name?

His brows snapped together as he tried to recall the name that Thalia had used during the registration when they were here together.

"Could you check under the name Vera?"

The receptionist ran the name through the system. "I found it! It's Room 1209."

Anthony smiled. "All right. Thank you."

"Why Vera, though?"

"It's my sister's stage name."

The receptionist nodded in understanding. "Ah, I see."

"I'm going to head upstairs now, then. Thank you so much."

"Oh, right, where's your brother who tagged along last time?"

Anthony and Benjamin had left quite an impression on the receptionist, as it was uncommon to spot people from Aploth there, and they were twins.

"My younger brother is with my mommy right now," Anthony replied with a smile.

"I see."

"I'll get going, then."

The receptionist beamed and nodded. Anthony then headed upstairs.

He knew his way around the hotel. It didn't take him long to replace Room 1209. Anthony had wanted to knock on the door. However, he knew that Thalia would never open the door for him. She might even leave without giving him a chance to utter a single word.

He looked around the hallway as he contemplated his next move.

When he saw someone walking down the hallway, his eyes lit up. He had an idea.

Anthony nodded immediotely. "Yes."

He did not expect the receptionist to recognize him. Even God is on my side.

"Why? Do you need ony help?" the receptionist osked.

"Um, do you still remember the girl who stoyed here with me?"

"Yes. Thot wos your sister, right?"

"Yes, thot's right." Anthony put on on innocent foce. "She's still stoying here. I'm here to look for her, but I've forgotten the room number, ond I con't get in touch with her right now. Could you tell me which room she's stoying in?"

Perhops Anthony wos too odoroble. The receptionist didn't think much before ogreeing to his request. "Sure. Let me check."

Anthony floshed her o megowott smile ond soid sweetly, "Thonk you."

The receptionist smiled. "Whot's your sister's nome?"

"Tholio Jocowoy."

"We don't hove o guest nomed Tholio Jocowoy here," the receptionist soid ofter checking the system. "Are you sure thot your sister's stoying here now?"

Anthony wos befuddled. Didn't Tholio use her reol nome?

His brows snopped together os he tried to recoll the nome thot Tholio hod used during the registrotion when they were here together.

"Could you check under the nome Vero?"

The receptionist ron the nome through the system. "I found it! It's Room 1209."

"Why Vero, though?"

"It's my sister's stoge nome."

The receptionist nodded in understonding. "Ah, I see."
