You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 356

Anthony explained, “That's because I’ve never wanted to acknowledge him.”

“What about Benjamin?”

“Benjamin values our family the most among the three of us,” came Anthony's answer.

Sometimes, acting awkward showed how important the person was to him.

That was why Anthony did his best to create opportunities for Benjamin to spend some time alone with Kenneth.

He knew Benjamin wanted to acknowledge Kenneth but still hadn't convinced himself entirely.

Thalia nodded in agreement. “Yes. Benjamin likes to keep a low profile and rarely expresses his thoughts, but it is obvious that he values his family and considers the bigger picture.”

Anthony's brow raised smugly. “We each have our own advantages, right?”

Thalia glanced at him disdainfully. “Can you stop being vain for once?”

Anthony chuckled. “Is it that hard to acknowledge someone else's ability?”

Thalia rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Denise glared at them. “How come you're still in the mood to argue? Didn't you realize that Daddy was acting weirdly? It seemed as if he knows something.” Denise was feeling conflicted over that realization.

Both Thalia and Anthony answered in unison, “Yeah, I realized it.”

Subsequently, they threw each other a glare and proceeded to ignore each other.

Anthony said, “We were out of reach at the same time today, so Daddy must have his suspicions. However, he cannot prove his suspicion, so it should be fine if we insist nothing is wrong.”

Thalia assured her, “Don't worry. Your daddy has always suspected me, so he won't suspect you.”

“Yeah. We have someone to take the blame for us. There's no need to worry!” Anthony chimed in.

At the sight of a scowl creeping up Thalia's face, Denise burst out in laughter. She gave Thalia a comforting pat. “Don't be mad. You know how Tony is. You're not the only victim.” “I must've been a criminal in my past life!” Thalia balled her fists furiously.

Anthony nodded in agreement. Flashing a smile, he said, “You're meant to atone for your crimes this lifetime.”

Before the girls could say anything, he raised his brow and marched toward the manor.

As Thalia fought back the urge to roll her sleeves up and fight with him, Denise immediately calmed her down. “Calm down, calm down. We're no match for his sharp tongue.”

“I shall defeat him physically, then!”

Thalia squinted her eyes menacingly at Anthony's retreating back.

Denise didn't bother mincing her words. “That's useless. He'll say 'An unequal contest brings no honor to the victor.’”

“I don't care. I want to teach him a lesson!” Thalia was fuming after Anthony took a jab at her for the whole day. She wanted nothing more than to give him a beating.

“I have a way to make him plead for mercy,” Denise offered as her eyes twinkled merrily.

Thalia remained doubtful. “Plead for mercy? Are you sure?”

She couldn't imagine what it was like to see Anthony pleading for mercy. He might be a child, but it was impossible for him to apologize, let alone plead for mercy.

Denise said, “We were in Mommy's stomach together. I know his weakness like the back of my hand.”

That sounded reasonable, so Thalia asked, “What is his weakness?”

Denise faltered. “I can tell you his weakness, but you have to promise me a few things.”

“What are they?”

“I haven't thought of anything yet. I'll let you know later. Just three things.”

Thalia's brows snapped together. “Are you asking for something in exchange?”

“Hey, I’m betraying him by telling you his weakness. Even if you didn't tell him that it was me, he'll soon realize who spilled his secret. It isn't much to ask for something in return, right?” Denise retorted.

Thalia felt like Denise was using the cutest face to carry out the most vicious matter.

Why did I cave in under her adorable looks back then?
