You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 19

From the angle of the photo taken, they did seem intimate.

Kenneth wanted to pull Thea to a stand, but her body kept slumping against his. She couldn't stand straight no matter how much he supported her.

“Kenneth, I'm sorry...” Her whole body went limped against his.

“Thea? Thea!” Kenneth tried to wake her up, but she didn't respond. Without a choice, he picked her up and set her in the passenger seat of his car.

With her settled in, he rounded the car and got in the driver's seat. With the click of his belt, he pulled away from the venue.

As he drove to Thea's condominium, he didn't notice the paparazzi following him.

Kenneth placed Thea's finger against the condominium door's sensor. After a couple of beeps and a buzz, he opened the door and headed straight to her bedroom. Since he had been there before, he knew his way around.

He was about to leave after depositing Thea on the bed.

“No! No! Get off me! Let go of me!” Thea suddenly shouted.

Kenneth looked over his shoulder and saw Thea flailing her arms as though she was having a nightmare.

He rushed back to her side and held onto her hand. “Thea? Thea, you're okay. You're safe now. We're at your condominium.”

After a few bouts of comforting words, Thea finally opened her eyes. She looked into Kenneth's eyes with tears swimming in hers. “Kenneth...” her voice cracked as she wrapped her arms around him.

“I'm scared! I'm so scared!” she sobbed as her grip tightened around Kenneth.

Patting her back gently, Kenneth comforted her. “You're okay now, Thea. You're safe.”

They remained in the position for a while. Kenneth wasn't sure how much time had passed, but he gently unwrapped her arms from his neck when her weeping stopped.

“Thea, you should get some rest for the rest of the night. You don't have to go to the office tomorrow,” Kenneth said.

Thea stayed silent and continued staring at him with a pleading look.

“It's getting late, and I have to go now,” he explained as he got to his feet.

However, Thea grabbed onto his arm and put on a fearful expression. “Kenneth, can you stay here with me? I'm scared. Or at least stay here until I fall asleep, please? I don't think I can sleep here alone tonight,” she pleaded.

Kenneth gave in and nodded. “Okay. I'll stay here with you. I'll be in the living room.

Thea nodded, plastering a grateful smile on her face.

“Get some rest.” He got up and went to the living room after reassuring her.

Thea knew Kenneth was a man of his words. He would stay since he promised

her.

When the door clicked shut, the fearful look was gone from her face. The pleading gaze had faded from her eyes and was replaced with a look of determination.

Kenneth, I'll make you stay by my side using whatever means I can.

Thea finally came out of her room before dawn.

After washing up, she changed into a comfy silk pajama that was soft to the touch.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was stretched out on her couch in the living room with his eyes closed.

Thinking he was still asleep, she retrieved a blanket and walked over to him with light steps, wanting to cover him with it.

Right when her hands touched him, Kenneth's eyes snapped open instantly.

“Did I wake you?” Thea asked.

It was such a close distance; Kenneth's heart skipped a beat when he caught a waft of her

sweet scent.

“Mm-hmm,” he grunted and quickly averted his gaze.

“I'm sorry for waking you up. I was worried you would be cold, so I wanted to give you a blanket,” Thea explained.

“It's fine.” Kenneth was pushing himself up to a sitting position when Thea fell onto him as though her legs accidentally gave out on her.
