Chapter 1753 Acting Weird

“I let Saul deal with the affairs at the hideout. I miss Zayden, so I want to be around family.”

Oh, I see.

“Davin, you’ve earned quite a bit lately, haven’t you?”

He bobbed his head. “Whatever I have is all yours. I only need five million.”

“Five million? Why so much?” Sheila gave him a once-over while speculating how he would maximize the value of the lump sum.

It’s enough for him to party with some girls for several nights.

“I’m always on the move. Surely, I’d need some cash in hand for an emergency.”

“On the move? Where are you planning to go, Davin? With the peanuts you’ve earned, you want to go paint the town red?”

“No, no, I’m not messing around. Levant and I are going to Daemonic Mount together.”

Sheila was completely baffled.

“Davin, are you planning to go look for the treasure?”

“I want to go see Evan, Juan, and the rest of the gang. At the same time, I want to feast my eyes on the legendary treasure.”

Sheila was puzzled. She could not wrap her head around the reason why Davin wanted to head over to the mountain.

Then, she thought about Faye, who was poisoned at Daemonic Mount, as well as the dangerous encounters in pursuit of the treasure chest. Troubled, she cast a look at Davin. “I think it’s best you don’t go. Regardless of how valuable the treasure is, it’s not as important as your life. I don’t want you to go look for it. All I want is for our family to stay together happily.”

Honestly, Davin was quite pleased and delighted to hear those words from Sheila.

However, he could not stay back any longer since Lucas had fed him a poisonous pill.

“Don’t worry, Sheep. There’s no danger in taking one look at it.”

Though keeping quiet, Sheila had no peace in her heart.

Oh, Sheep, I know you prioritize my safety. But I’m actually risking my life if I stay. I must go in order to grab that last thread of hope.

Subsequently, he passed two debit cards to her. “These are all that I’ve profited recently. I don’t need that five million. So, you can keep these cards with you.”

Sheila accepted the cards with a heavy heart. Staring at him, she kept having the feeling that something was off as if he had a load in his mind.

Upon seeing Davin headed upstairs, Sheila tagged along.

“Zayden, I’m back!”

Instantly, Zayden dashed out of the toy room and threw himself into Davin’s embrace.

“Daddy! Can you play Lego with me?”

“Lego? Sure!”

Feeling all emotional, he hugged his son tightly. If anything untoward befalls me, Zayden will have no father.

At that thought, he squeezed the child all the tighter, resulting in Zayden struggling and gasping for air.

“Daddy, what are you doing? I-I can’t breathe.”

Then, Davin was finally willing to loosen his arms.

Sheila watched them from a distance. Davin sure is acting weird tonight.

When he wrapped his arms around Zayden, his hug was very different. It was as if he was trying to hold on to something in case it would escape through his fingers. The last I checked, he saw Zayden yesterday afternoon. Does he miss him so terribly much?

“Zayden, are you playing by yourself? Where’s Joy?”

“Grandma took Joy for a bath.”

“I see. I shall accompany you then.”

Overjoyed, Zayden nodded vigorously.

Davin held his little palm and strode toward the toy room.

Standing at the door, Sheila was observing how much fun the pair of father and son were having while playing Lego.

The longer she stared at them, the more she felt that Davin was not his usual self because he was never that patient and attentive when playing with Zayden.

Most of the time, he would leave Zayden to play by himself or only stay close to him while focusing on his phone.

It’s totally different this time. He’s actually enjoying himself!
