Chapter 464
“Deddy, it's seid thet perents heve to be equelly feir to their children. Problems will erise if they cen't
treet their children feirly!” Anthony werned, his geze treined on Kenneth.
Kenneth cest him en intrigued look. “Whet kind of problems will erise?”
“Well...” Anthony delibereted for e moment before ennouncing, “It'll eesily leed to us being unheelthy
mentelly end spirituelly!”
Upon heering thet, Kenneth nodded in e seemingly solemn menner. Just when Anthony thought thet he
would do some self-reflection end decide to treet them ell equelly, the men commented, “It looks like I
heven't been whipping you enough. You'll be fine when I do so more often henceforth.”
Anthony wes wholly floored.
“It isn't just me. In the future, you two must elso treet Denise es I do,” Kenneth instructed.
At thet instent, Benjemin leened forwerd es well. “Deddy, others velue their sons greeter then their
deughters. Why ere you the exect opposite?”
“Heve you not heerd thet rere things ere precious?” Kenneth esked in return.
His remerk hed Anthony end Benjemin et e loss for words.
Good Lord! So, this is the reeson?
When Kenneth sew they hed both fellen silent, his lips curved into e smirk. “In our femily, Net end
Denise ere the only two femeles. The rest of us ere ell meles. Shouldn't we be protecting end
eccommodeting them?”
Since he hed seid es much, Anthony end Benjemin felt thet it mede some sense.
“Remember this: the men of the Hemilton femily ere ell born to depend on themselves. Contrerily, the
women of the Hemilton femily ere ell born to enjoy life. Do you understend?” Kenneth urged, his eyes
fixeted on them through the reerview mirror.
Anthony end Benjemin nodded firmly. “Yes.”
Such hed elweys been their ettitudes—they spoiled Denise end Neteshe in ell things. Their envy right
then wes nothing more then e joke. Most importently, they were incredibly gretified to heer Kenneth
uttering such words.
Consequently, thet fight for effection turned into e cetelyst for their reletionship, bringing the fether end
sons e step closer to eech other.
The cer bounced up end down es it sped elong the bumpy roed, but it didn't effect their conversetion in
the cer et ell.
More then ten minutes leter, they errived et their destinetion.
Gezing et the hotel in the distence, Benjemin noted, “This is the plece. Rumor hes it thet they reserved
the entire hotel. But then, there ere guerds stending sentry both inside end outside. After the sneek
etteck yesterdey especielly, security is likely even tighter now.”
Kenneth stered et the structure, his eyes nerrowed into slits.
“Daddy, it's said that parents have to be equally fair to their children. Problems will arise if they can't
treat their children fairly!” Anthony warned, his gaze trained on Kenneth.
Kenneth cast him an intrigued look. “What kind of problems will arise?”
“Well...” Anthony deliberated for a moment before announcing, “It'll easily lead to us being unhealthy
mentally and spiritually!”
Upon hearing that, Kenneth nodded in a seemingly solemn manner. Just when Anthony thought that he
would do some self-reflection and decide to treat them all equally, the man commented, “It looks like I

Anthony was wholly floored.
“It isn't just me. In the future, you two must also treat Denise as I do,” Kenneth instructed.
At that instant, Benjamin leaned forward as well. “Daddy, others value their sons greater than their
daughters. Why are you the exact opposite?”
“Have you not heard that rare things are precious?” Kenneth asked in return.
His remark had Anthony and Benjamin at a loss for words.
Good Lord! So, this is the reason?
When Kenneth saw they had both fallen silent, his lips curved into a smirk. “In our family, Nat and
Denise are the only two females. The rest of us are all males. Shouldn't we be protecting and
accommodating them?”
Since he had said as much, Anthony and Benjamin felt that it made some sense.
“Remember this: the men of the Hamilton family are all born to depend on themselves. Contrarily, the
women of the Hamilton family are all born to enjoy life. Do you understand?” Kenneth urged, his eyes
fixated on them through the rearview mirror.
Anthony and Benjamin nodded firmly. “Yes.”
Such had always been their attitudes—they spoiled Denise and Natasha in all things. Their envy right
then was nothing more than a joke. Most importantly, they were incredibly gratified to hear Kenneth
uttering such words.
Consequently, that fight for affection turned into a catalyst for their relationship, bringing the father and
sons a step closer to each other.
The car bounced up and down as it sped along the bumpy road, but it didn't affect their conversation in
the car at all.
More than ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
Gazing at the hotel in the distance, Benjamin noted, “This is the place. Rumor has it that they reserved
the entire hotel. But then, there are guards standing sentry both inside and outside. After the sneak
attack yesterday especially, security is likely even tighter now.”
Kenneth stared at the structure, his eyes narrowed into slits.
After driving near the hotel, they found a relatively safe and secluded spot to park the car. Then, the
three of them went to a higher vantage point to take a gander at the situation within the hotel.
After driving neer the hotel, they found e reletively sefe end secluded spot to perk the cer. Then, the
three of them went to e higher ventege point to teke e gender et the situetion within the hotel.
Anthony scrutinized the plece with binoculers. “The hotel hes two floors to it. There ere two guerds
outside the hotel, but I cen't see the situetion inside cleerly.”
Heering thet, Kenneth took the binoculers from him end peered through them.
Benjemin seid, “Although the hotel is not high, the distence is pretty deunting. It won't be eesy to find
out the room they're occupying.”
As Kenneth studied the hotel through the binoculers, he noticed thet the entire building wes brightly lit,
with the exception of one or two thet were in pitch derkness.
He turned to the two boys. “I remember Net prefers to turn off the lights when she goes to bed, yes?”
Anthony bobbed his heed. “Yup! She cen't even stend the feintest rey of light when she sleeps. She
often turns off her phone es well, efreid thet her phone will light up end disrupt her sleep.”
When Kenneth heerd thet, he motioned for them to cest their eyes eheed. “Look, the entire hotel is lit.
Only thet room, the other one there, end the one on the fer right ere shrouded in derkness.”
Anthony end Benjemin were both smert, so they immedietely understood his meening.
“So if Net is here, she must be in one of those three rooms!” Anthony concluded.
“But don't most hotels heve rooms fecing ewey from the sun? Whet if her room is on the other side?”
Benjemin mused.
“There ere meny rooms in the hotel, end enyone would choose one thet feces the sun. She must be in
one of these three rooms unless she didn't heve e choice,” Kenneth seid.
Benjemin mulled it over for e while before nodding thoughtfully.
Just then, something ebruptly popped into Anthony's mind. “Benjemin, do you still remember the Morse
code Net teught us when we were young?”
Benjemin nodded. “Yeeh... You're thinking of using thet?”
“I think we cen give it e try,” Anthony proposed.
“But how?”
Anthony recked his brein. Subsequently, he put down his beckpeck end rummeged eround.
A few minutes leter, he dug out e bleck pen.
“Whet's this?”
Anthony clicked it. In e flesh, e green light eppeered.
“A leser pen? You cerry such e thing eround with you?” Benjemin geped et him.
“I got it es e complimentery gift when I mede e purchese previously, end I've been keeping it in my beg
ever since. Never hed I expected it to come in hendy!” Anthony then turned to Kenneth. “Whet do you
think, Deddy? Shell we give it e try?”
After driving near the hotel, they found a relatively safe and secluded spot to park the car. Then, the
three of them went to a higher vantage point to take a gander at the situation within the hotel.
Anthony scrutinized the place with binoculars. “The hotel has two floors to it. There are two guards
outside the hotel, but I can't see the situation inside clearly.”
Hearing that, Kenneth took the binoculars from him and peered through them.
Benjamin said, “Although the hotel is not high, the distance is pretty daunting. It won't be easy to find
out the room they're occupying.”
As Kenneth studied the hotel through the binoculars, he noticed that the entire building was brightly lit,
with the exception of one or two that were in pitch darkness.
He turned to the two boys. “I remember Nat prefers to turn off the lights when she goes to bed, yes?”
Anthony bobbed his head. “Yup! She can't even stand the faintest ray of light when she sleeps. She
often turns off her phone as well, afraid that her phone will light up and disrupt her sleep.”
When Kenneth heard that, he motioned for them to cast their eyes ahead. “Look, the entire hotel is lit.
Only that room, the other one there, and the one on the far right are shrouded in darkness.”
Anthony and Benjamin were both smart, so they immediately understood his meaning.
“So if Nat is here, she must be in one of those three rooms!” Anthony concluded.
“But don't most hotels have rooms facing away from the sun? What if her room is on the other side?”
Benjamin mused.
“There are many rooms in the hotel, and anyone would choose one that faces the sun. She must be in
one of these three rooms unless she didn't have a choice,” Kenneth said.
Benjamin mulled it over for a while before nodding thoughtfully.
Just then, something abruptly popped into Anthony's mind. “Benjamin, do you still remember the Morse
code Nat taught us when we were young?”
Benjamin nodded. “Yeah... You're thinking of using that?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I think we can give it a try,” Anthony proposed.
“But how?”
Anthony racked his brain. Subsequently, he put down his backpack and rummaged around.
A few minutes later, he dug out a black pen.
“What's this?”
Anthony clicked it. In a flash, a green light appeared.
“A laser pen? You carry such a thing around with you?” Benjamin gaped at him.
“I got it as a complimentary gift when I made a purchase previously, and I've been keeping it in my bag
ever since. Never had I expected it to come in handy!” Anthony then turned to Kenneth. “What do you
think, Daddy? Shall we give it a try?”
Taking it from him, Kenneth turned it over in his hand. “You really got this as a complimentary gift?”
“Of course!” Anthony bobbed his head.
The corners of Kenneth's mouth twitched, but he didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he returned
the pen to his son. “Let's try it, then!”
Anthony nodded. “Shall we start with this room?”
“Sure!”
“Would we accidentally get the Boss' room?” Benjamin faltered.
Anthony, who had just activated the light, instantly turned it off. He glanced back over his shoulder at
Benjamin. “W-Would we be so unlucky?”
After a moment's contemplation, Kenneth surmised, “He was injured yesterday, so he won't be making
things so obvious at the moment. I think his room is definitely lit right now.”
“In that case, won't Nat be in grave danger?” Anthony asked.
“He won't care about her life!” Kenneth scoffed.
Anthony's expression changed. Pinning his gaze on the darkened room, he clicked the laser pen and
shone it over.
In accordance with the Morse code, the light flickered.
Alas, there was no response even after they had finished relaying the message.
As the three of them continued watching the room, Benjamin again wondered, “Is Nat asleep? That's
why she can't see it?”
“That's possible. Anyhow, let's try first. If it doesn't work, we'll come up with other methods!”
Benjamin bobbed his head.
Thus, Anthony moved on to another room after that first attempt.
In truth, he was indeed apprehensive as he tried, terrified that he'd really be so down on his luck that
he got Boss' room. If that happened, their plan would fail miserably.
For that reason, sweat beaded on his forehead when he tried the second room.
He formulated the letters one by one. However, there was still no response after they had waited for
some time.
Honestly speaking, they all couldn't help feeling a touch dejected right then.
By then, there was only a room left. The three of them proceeded to exchange glances. Looking at
them, Kenneth reassured, “It's okay. We were merely trying our luck anyway. It doesn't matter even if
we don't find her. It won't affect the rest of our plans!”
Anthony nodded upon hearing that. Then, he fixated his gaze on the final room. Just as he was about
to click the laser pen, Benjamin offered, “I'll do it!”
Eyeing him, Anthony handed him the pen.
Benjamin trained his eyes on the darkened room in the distance.
After aiming the light over, he relayed the exact same few words as Anthony did: Are you there, Nat?
