Blake glared at Brent. He couldn't help but wonder how the boy dared to tag along with them. Didn't he know that it was his time to bond with his daughter? Brent turned around and when his eyes met Blake, he turned back and face the cashier.

Blake scoffed and murmured under his breath, "that boy." 

Maya heard her dad and placed the phone on the table, she was replying to her sister who kept sending her texts asking how they were with their dad. She turned at her father and found him still glaring at Brent.

Maya slapped his hand and whispered, "dad, stop glaring, you are going to drill holes into the boy's back."

Blake stopped and said to her, "I just can't stand him."

Maya was surprised by her father. It was the first time her father has said that, he has never had any problem with Brent. He knew Brent and even treated him as a son. So, what was the problem?
