You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 136

Just then, Caroline nudged Thea with her elbow, bringing her back to her senses.

Retracting her gaze, Thea surveyed the crowd awkwardly. When she spotted Liam, the woman nodded her head slightly and greeted, “Old Mr. Hamilton.”

Liam nodded back expressionlessly in acknowledgement.

Finally, Thea's gaze landed on Kenneth. When she saw the bandage on his body, a trace of worry flashed across her eyes.

“Kenneth...” the woman hurried over, shoving Denise, who was next to the man, to one side.

Even though it was not intentional, everyone who saw it could not help but frown in displeasure.

Liam, in particular, looked at Thea with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Benjamin saw that. He was about to speak when Natasha stopped him.

The look he gave Thea turned into an icy glare.

“Kenneth, how are you feeling? How did you get so badly injured?” Thea asked worriedly as she moved closer toward the man, almost pouncing herself on him.

When she saw blood seeping through the bandage from the injury on his waist, she looked like she was almost going to burst into tears.

Meanwhile, Kenneth did not overlook her actions earlier. His annoyance piqued.

Looking at the woman with his bonechilling gaze, he said, “Thea, you bumped into someone just now!”

“Huh?” Thea replied, looking confused.

Just then, Kenneth glanced at Denise and patted the spot next to him. He said gently, “Denise, come here.”

When the girl heard that, she walked over obediently. “Mr. Handsome...”

Fixing his gaze on Thea, Kenneth repeated, “You bumped into her just now!”

Feeling slightly awkward at the man's defensiveness toward Denise, Thea said, “I didn't do it on purpose. I was just too worried about you. I didn't notice that she was there...”

“Apologize,” Kenneth ordered.

Stunned, Thea did not expect Kenneth to be so inconsiderate about her feelings.

How can he ask me to apologize to a kid in front of so many people?

“Kenneth...” Thea uttered in disbelief.

The atmosphere became awkward instantly.

Kenneth did not intend to relent. Fixing his cold gaze on the woman, his stance was firm. He was not going to let her off until she apologized.

Just then, Caroline spoke in an attempt to diffuse the tension. “Thea, you should apologize to the girl. As adults, we should set a good example for the little ones.”

That not only helped to ease the tension in the air, it also diffused the awkwardness for

Thea.

Even though Thea was extremely unwilling to apologize to Denise, she knew that she had no other choice given the current situation.

Forcing a smile, the woman turned to face the girl and said, “Denise, I didn't mean to knock into you. I'm sorry.”

“It's all right,” Denise replied. With a crease between her brows, the girl's expression greatly resembled Natasha's.

Thea could feel anger spreading through her as she looked at Denise.

In fact, she had never felt so humiliated!

A moment later, Caroline said smilingly, “We were just next door when we heard about Kenneth's injury. We specially came over to see him. We didn't expect to see so many people here.”

Taking a pause, she turned to look at Benjamin and Denise. “These two little ones are so adorable. Whose kids are they?”

Although the woman had claimed that they were there to see Kenneth, Natasha knew very well that they were there to find out about the situation.

Before Natasha could answer, Kenneth had already spoken. “They are my children.”

Huh?

Caroline froze when she heard that.
