You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 148

By the time Anthony woke up, there was already a delectable spread of food on the dining table.

Thalia sat at the table, happily eating away. There were lobsters, crabs, and a wide variety of food from some of the best restaurants in town.

Anthony got up from the couch and walked to the dining table. “Why didn't you wake me?

“The food only just arrived and I was wondering whether to wake you up or not!”

For some reason, Anthony no longer felt that hungry. However, he got his appetite back once he saw the delicious food and began tucking into it.

“When I went to collect the food earlier, I bumped into your great-grandfather downstairs,” Thalia said as she looked at the boy.

Anthony froze momentarily and gazed up at her. “And?”

“I thought he wouldn't remember me, but he did! He even came up to say hello,” Thalia said with a smirk. “I guess beautiful women do leave a stronger impression...”

“You didn't shoot your mouth off, did you?” Anthony asked sternly.

Thalia tossed him a glance. “Don't worry. Do you think I'm that ignorant?”

Anthony flinched at that. Ha. Who knows?

“So, what did he say?” Anthony asked as he slowly reached for a piece of lobster meat. He might be young, but he carried himself with poise and elegance even when it came to eating.

“He said to drop by your house for a meal when I'm free,” Thalia replied with a chuckle. “Say, is your great-grandfather good at cooking?”

Seeing the glint in her eyes, Anthony instantly shot daggers back at her. “Don't even think about it.”

“Why not?” “How am I supposed to explain to

Mommy?” “I'm your martial arts instructor, aren't I? We can always go with that.”

“Mommy's not that easily fooled.”

“Does that mean Kenneth is?”

“He doesn't know me well since we don't live together,” Anthony explained. Mommy, however, can detect even the slightest change in me! There's no way I can fool her.

“Who knows your family might already know that I live here?” Thalia asked with nonchalance as she continued eating.

Anthony froze.

Oh, no! She's right!

When Terence finally got home, he found Natasha and Zachary chatting in the living room.

Upon seeing how happy they were, he smiled in relief. Zachary's a grounded and dependable man. If they get together, I'm sure he'd be able to give Natasha a stable

life.

Meanwhile, Zachary saw that Terence had returned and immediately rolled up his sleeves to help.

“Let me help you, Old Mr. Watson.”

“No, no, no. The two of you can carry on chatting. I got this.”

“Nat just got back from the hospital, so I think we should let her rest. Besides, it'd be faster if I helped you with the preparation,” Zachary said as he glanced at Natasha. With that, he unloaded the groceries and began washing the vegetables.

Feeling more and more satisfied with Zachary, Terence eventually gave in and allowed him to help out.

While cooking, Terence turned to the younger man. “Zach, what do you think about Nat?”

Zachary stole a glimpse at Natasha, who seemed to be relaxing on the couch with her eyes closed, resembling a cat.

“She's great. I can't describe what's good about her, but I know being around her makes me feel comfortable,” Zachary said earnestly.

Terence raised an eyebrow. “Do you not find Nat beautiful?”

“Oh, you must be joking, Old Mr. Watson. She's too beautiful! However, I know she's more than just a pretty face. In my opinion, Nat's best feature is her personality!”

Terence nodded approvingly. “In that case, do you like her? I hope you don't mind me being so direct, Zach. As her grandfather, all I wish is to find her someone who can treat her with love and respect. If that's not how you feel, then please ignore what I've just said—”
