Chapter 334 Keep Your Enemies Closer!

Day Forty...

~~*****~~

It was indeed a hot morning that could boil Nathan's blood as early as this. He was like a raging volcano that was about to erupt especially when he noticed Abigail's eyes staring at Dave's shirtless body.

What Nathan did was grab Abigail's shoulder, twirling her around to face him. He didn't want to see Abigail gawking at Dave's body.

'Where is Ethan?! I left him here to guard these two. He is not taking his job seriously!' Nathan's eyes roamed around the house, searching for his son. But he didn't see him.

'Why is he not wearing any shirt?' Nathan looked at Dave sharply.

Dave was supposed to greet Nathan with a smile. But his smile faded as soon as he was greeted by Nathan's bloodshot eyes. He was displeased.

Abigail was about to toss another look at Dave but Nathan stopped her by holding her head. His gesture was telling herâ€" 'Don't turn around. Just look at me. Only me!'

"Mr. Sparks, why are you here?" Dave broke the silence, questioning Nathan's sudden arrival.

"My son is here so I came. I'm fetching him," Nathan responded coldly.

"Do you mind putting some clothes on first? It is inappropriate to stay naked while welcoming a visitor," Nathan added, urging Dave to wear his shirt.

"Oh. I'm sorry about that. I don't usually entertain guests while shirtless. Abi made me do this." Dave chuckled lightly. He was just joking around, teasing Abigail.

However, his last statement pissed Nathan off further. So Nathan gave Abigail a questioning gaze. He looked like a boyfriend who was interrogating his girlfriend after catching her making out with another guy.

'What did you do with him?'

Abigail, who was clueless about Nathan's wild thoughts, just removed his hands from holding her in place. When she turned around, Dave was already walking toward his bedroom to get a new shirt.

Watching Dave's back, Abigail blurted out something. "He is surprisingly flawless... though he is a policeman."

Nathan's face darkened further with her remarks. He misunderstood Abigail. He thought she was drooling over Dave's body.

"Yes, of course." Nathan promptly responded. "So I think Abigail should go home with us today. The three of us should prepare for tomorrow's school event. Am I right, son?" Nathan was conniving with his son for his scheme.

After having wild imaginations regarding Abigail and Dave, Nathan would never feel at ease, leaving the two of them in this house alone. As much as possible, he wanted to separate the two!

"Yes, Dad. She must!" Little Ethan supported his father.

Abigail: "..."

Abigail darted her gaze back and forth between the father and son duo. She didn't know why but she felt like the two were up to something. They were in sync today.

'What alibi will I use to explain this to Dave?' Abigail became troubled by this thought.

Looking at Little Ethan, she was aware that she couldn't refuse him. Furthermore, she already promised him that she would attend the Family Day at Ethan's school.

"Hey, guys, what's up?" Dave showed up at the front door. He was now wearing a shirt. "What did I miss?" He asked them as he noticed that the three seemed like they were discussing something.

"Uncle Dave, Can I borrow Miss Abi today until tomorrow? She promised me something so she must go home with us today." Little Ethan spoke up, using his charm to seek Dave's permission. He could feel that Abigail was contemplating a while ago because of Dave.

"Oh, sure. I don't mind... as long as it's okay with Abigail." Ethan successfully charmed Dave. Just like Abigail, Dave couldn't say no to this adorable child.

"Thanks, Uncle Dave!" Ethan ran in Dave's direction and hugged him.

Nathan couldn't help but feel jealous. Even his son was now close to Dave. They were getting along very well. 'Is he going to take my son from me as well?' Nathan pursed his lips.

Nathan was drowning in the sea of vinegar as early as this morning! Seeing the closeness of Abigail, Ethan, and Dave, Nathan felt threatened and jealous.

Nathan was not in a good mood when they came out of Abigail's bedroom. But Ethan quickly approached his father, tugging his sleeve.

Then he whispered, "Dad, stop frowning and glaring at Uncle Dave! You should smile and take it easy."

"Remember the saying: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!" Ethan added.

Nathan: "..."
