NovelBookChapter 1340 Chapter 1340: A few moments later, Kenji stepped out of the bar. He stopped in his tracks when he spotted the father and daughter embracing. His hesitation was brief but long enough for Caden to notice him.
Caden turned his eyes toward Kenji, his expression fierce and unyielding. Concern for his daughter made him scrutinize everyone as if they were a potential threat.
Kenji straightened, forcing himself to remain composed under Caden's intense gaze.
"Mr. Ward," he said politely, nodding in greeting as he approached.

Before Kenji could explain himself, Caden cut in, his voice laced with suspicion.
"Kenji, were you with Scarlette earlier?" Kenji nodded humbly.

"What's wrong, Scarlette? Why are you crying?" Scarlette felt her stomach churn at his hollow words. She turned away from him, burying herself back into her father's arms.
"Dad, I want to go home," she said, her voice trembling.
"I miss my mom." Caden's jaw tightened, his sharp eyes flickering toward the bar behind them.
