You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 15

Clarice had just gotten back inside the house when George followed behind and said, “Come to my room, Clarice. There's something I need to talk to you about.”

“Okay.” Clarice didn't think much about it and did as told.

“Close the door behind you,” George said.

That was when Clarice realized something was amiss. “What's wrong, Georgie?” she asked while shutting the door.

“That guy you met downstairs. Who was he?” George asked.

He's the handsome man I saw at the airport when we came back the other day. You saw him too, didn't you? What do you think? Is he handsome? I think he looks a bit like you!” Clarice replied excitedly.

George ignored her statement and continued, “Did you add him on WhatsApp?”

Clarice nodded. “Yeah, I did!”

“Let me have a look at your phone.”

Clarice did as told and handed him her phone. “What's wrong, Georgie? Is something the matter?” she asked when she saw the solemn look on his face.

George kept quiet as he went through her contact list on WhatsApp. Surely enough, he found a newly added contact that she had yet to start chatting with.

After a brief moment of hesitation, George decided to look at his status posts, but found nothing at all.

It was as if he had never posted anything before.

His profile picture was that of a starry sky, so George couldn't obtain any information from it either.

Sensing that something was really strange about his behavior, Clarice asked, “What has gotten into you, Georgie?”

George shifted his gaze back toward her as he replied, “It's nothing. I just found him to look rather familiar, that's all. I think I've seen his picture in a magazine or

something.”

Clarice frowned. “Really?”

“Yeah.” George handed the phone back to her as he continued, “He's probably a famous person. It's fine, you may feel free to chat with him if you'd like.”

Clarice nodded. “He seems like a pitiful guy.

“Pitiful? How so?”

“He said he could've had a child as cute as me, but...”

George felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard that. “But what?”

“But fate prevented it from happening. I think something must've happened,” Clarice said.

Right as George went into deep thought, Elliot opened the door and stuck his head into the room. “What are you two whispering about behind my back?”

“Oh, we were just talking about how Clarice has been chatting up some random guy!”

George said.

“He's not some random guy! This may be my second time seeing him, but I have a feeling that he's a nice guy!” Clarice protested.

George simply kept quiet and seemed to be thinking about something.

Although Elliot was the most playful one of the three, he was very good at reading people's emotions.

He made his way toward them and asked Clarice, “Gramps made some desserts for supper. You want some?”

Clarice's eyes lit up when she heard that. “I do!” she replied while running out of the room.

Elliot then sat down in front of George and said, “All right, talk to me. What's going on?”

There was a hint of hesitation in George's eyes as he stared at him in response.

“It's fine if you don't want to tell me about it now. Just come to me when you feel like talking,” Elliot said as he stood up and got ready to leave.

“I think I might know who our daddy is.”
