You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 228

“Anyhow, this is all in the past. The most important thing for you to do now is to live in the present. Treat Nat well and don't repeat the same mistake again,” Liam advised as he looked at Kenneth.

The latter met his eyes and smiled.

“Grandpa, thank you for telling me all this.”

Kenneth's unusual politeness made Liam so uncomfortable he eyed his grandson warily. “What tricks are you playing in that head of yours again?”

“Nothing. I just feel assured after hearing what you said. I will protect her for the rest of my life and make sure nothing bad happens to her,” Kenneth replied.

His words put a smile on Liam's lips.

“That's my grandson!”

Since they had talked for a while, Kenneth thought he should stop bothering Liam. “Grandpa, why don't you go rest first? I still have some things to settle, so I'll go back to my room first.”

“What is there to do at this time? It's so late already,” Liam inquired curiously, but Kenneth simply flashed him a mysterious smile before going upstairs.

“Does he really have to keep me in suspense?” Liam shook his head and went back to his own room.

In the meantime, Kenneth went back to the room Liam had prepared for him and Natasha when they were first supposed to be married.

If it were not for Kenneth's initial bias against their union, he would have used this immaculate and clean room long ago, but after going through so much, his attitude had changed.

Then, he looked forward to actually living in that space.

He wondered if things would have been different if he had just followed through with Liam's plan.

A smile emerged on his lips at that thought. Well, there's no ifs.

He regretted not being part of Natasha and the three children's lives over the past years, and for the first time in his life, Kenneth actually liked how things were between Natasha and him.

He knew fully well that love was the foundation for a long-term relationship.

With that in mind, he went over to the laptop instead of going to rest, but just as he switched on the laptop, a frown stitched on his brows when he realized something was not right.

Did someone use this laptop before?

Out of curiosity, Kenneth went to the browser to check the search history, but to his dismay, he found nothing.

This can't be... Someone clearly used this device before, so it should at least have some history, but there's no record whatsoever. This is weird... Anthony is the only one who has stayed in this room before. Don't tell me it's him.

Since Kenneth could not think of any other reason other than the mischievous kid playing with the laptop, he dismissed the thought and keyed in the password to his account before entering another website.

“I need you to look into an incident that happened twenty years ago...”

Over on the other side, Terence was driving with Natasha seated beside him when he spared her a glance.

“I bet the task is dangerous,” he uttered.

Natasha looked up at him and smiled. “Not really. The police were there, and I just stayed behind them. Don't worry. As I promised, I won't put myself in danger.”

Despite what she said, Terence knew she was just trying to assure him.

“Nat, I might have expectations of you, but at the end of the day, I just want you to be safe and happy. I hope you understand that.”

The woman nodded. “I know, Grandpa.”

“You know, if—and I'm just saying if—”

“Grandpa, you really don't have to worry. I know what I can and can't do,” Natasha cut in.

Seeing the resolution in her eyes, Terence knew Natasha was not a girl anymore, but a grown-up, so he decided to just let the matter slide.

“You know, Nat, if Desmond gets caught, then Zachary...”

Natasha's face darkened at the mention of that name. “I hope Zachary understands.”

Terence could not help but sigh. “He's a good man, but life is really unfair to him. Erin is still in a vegetative state, and now Desmond might end up in jail...”

Natasha listened without saying a word.

“I can only say fate is cruel,” Terence continued before silence resumed in the

car.

After some time, the car pulled up beside a building, and they went in after Terence parked the car.
