You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 385

It was a long flight, but after discovering the truth, Thalia became too excited and couldn't rest well.

She had an irrational fear that someone would kidnap the kids if she fell asleep, so she would check up on them every now and then.

It was an exhausting journey, and she practically suffered all the way to Zaewora, where they got off the plane.

When they disembarked, Anthony and Benjamin appeared energetic because they had rested well. It was as though they weren't burdened at all.

They followed Kenneth until he got into a car. That was when Anthony stood there and thought about the situation.

“Aren't you going to go after him?” asked Thalia.

“He'll catch us spying if we get too close,” replied Anthony.

“Can you locate Nat from here?” questioned Benjamin while staring at his brother.

Anthony shook his head. “Nat planned for everything when she first left. She will surely have covered her tracks well, so there is no way there are any clues for us to find her.”

“Then what do we do?”

Anthony pointed in the direction that Kenneth's car had left. “I can try to trace Daddy instead. At worst, we can take advantage of that car,” said Anthony. His eyes glowed in a way that was way too mature for a kid his age.

Benjamin realized what Anthony was talking about right away, so he nodded.

That was when a voice came from above their tiny heads. “So what do we do now? Where to next?”

Anthony thought about it, then answered, “Let's get a hotel room and shower. We'll decide what to do after we eat something.”

Thalia arched her brows and said, “That sounds great.” She was in urgent need of a shower and a nap.

She put her hand out to hail a cab immediately.

After they piled into the car, Anthony gave in to his curiosity and asked, “Thalia, you've traveled all around the world, so why don't you know anyone in Zaewora?”

“Oh, I have friends here. Plenty of them, actually.”

“Then why didn't you call them and have them come to pick us up?” asked Anthony.

Thalia grinned and replied, “Because then we won't live long enough to make our way out of the airport.”

Anthony was a little speechless. “Seriously? You aren't on good terms with anyone here?”

“Oh, I'm on good terms with them,” answered Thalia as she shifted her gaze to the kids. “When I say we won't survive, I meant we will die of embarrassment when we hear them laughing their butts off after seeing me here with two chubby kids.”

Both Anthony and Benjamin were speechless.

“So we're an embarrassment to you? Is that it?” challenged Anthony.

“Yes, obviously,” answered Thalia while nodding.

“Then why were you so excited about Benjamin's weapon blueprints that you couldn't sleep earlier?” asked Anthony.

Thalia immediately clamped a hand over his mouth. She whispered, “Keep your voices down. You'll get Benjamin in trouble if you don't.”

Anthony rolled his eyes at her.

Thalia let him go before softly saying, “Also, never say those words out loud in public again, okay?”

“Oh, come on. It's not that bad.”

“Yes, it is,” insisted Thalia. “Zaewora is a chaotic place, and their military has eyes everywhere. On top of that, many countries send their spies here to conduct business, so you never know if someone will overhear you.”

Anthony sighed when he saw how serious Thalia had gotten. “So what if someone overhears it? No one would believe that someone as young as Benjamin actually did all that.”

“All the more reason to keep it a secret. That is the best protection we can offer him now. Even then, if we ever run into someone who is knowledgeable in that field, he will be in deep trouble,” replied Thalia.

Anthony turned to Benjamin, who remained so calm that it was as though he had nothing to do with what they were discussing.

The former glared and complained, “Seriously, dude. Of all the things to be talented in, you had to be good at this? Ugh, now I have to protect you, too.”

Benjamin glanced at Anthony and replied, “Oh, puh-lease. You should focus on protecting yourself instead. Given the current trend, we are likely moving toward a technological age where the internet will dominate everything. Your existence is a threat to many as well.”
