You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 407

He recalled feeling something amiss about the boys' behaviors, but he was too preoccupied with Natasha's matter, so he did not dwell much on them.

Now that he thought about it, it was not strange for them to follow him here.

Nevertheless, to make sure he would not wrongfully accuse them, Kenneth called Liam.

“Grandpa.”

“Oh? Did you just remember you have a grandpa?” Liam sarcastically said the moment he picked up the phone.

“I've been busy, Grandpa.”

“Yes, yes. You're so busy, and I'm so free,” Liam continued.

Kenneth pursed his lips at that. Knowing that Liam's words were born out of anger, he changed the topic and asked, “How are you feeling?”

“Great, since you're not here to make me mad!”

Kenneth was rendered speechless.

Liam knew when to stop with the sarcasm, so he stated, “Go on. Why did you call me?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to ask how you're doing.”

“Are the pigs flying now? I'm surprised you're actually concerned about my health!”

Kenneth was used to his grandfather's tone, so he ignored it and went straight to the topic. “By the way, where are the kids? Have they been good at home?” he asked.

Liam gloomily muttered, “Denise went to join the film crew, and the boys followed Thalia out to have fun. They haven't been back for days. Once Nat's away on a business trip, you've all run away, too. You left me and Terence—two lonely elderly men—at home.” Just then, someone else chimed in, “It seems like a woman is really needed at home, or else no one can keep a rein on you all.”

Kenneth furrowed his brows upon hearing the other voice coming from the other end of the line. “Are you playing chess with Old Mr. Watson?”

“Yes...” Liam muttered distractedly. Then, he grumbled, “Terence, can't you do a normal move!”

“It's none of your business!”

“Fine. In that case, you can't blame me for resorting to tricks. I'll move here!”

Hearing the busy voices, Kenneth remarked, “Continue with your chess match with Old Mr. Watson, then. I have something else to do now, so I'll call you another time.”

“Bye,” Liam uttered.

Once the call ended, Kenneth furrowed his brows again.

The two boys had asked if they could tag along when he departed the other day. Now, it seemed like his answer was irrelevant—regardless of whether he said yes or no, the boys were going to come.

At the end of the day, he was to blame for underestimating them.

Right. They can even join Darknetz. These things are nothing in comparison.

At that, Kenneth's gaze darkened. Since they're lying to me, I guess I'll have to deal with the problem from its roots.

After keeping his phone, Kenneth turned and walked back.

Dave glanced at him and asked, “What's the matter? Did something happen?”

Kenneth mulled over it for a while before answering, “How's your relationship with Darknetz recently?”

“Darknetz?” Dave snorted when he heard that name. “What else? Everything's fine if we don't encounter each other, but if we do, we end up fighting.”

Kenneth remained calm, for he had expected that answer from Dave.

Nevertheless, he still could not help but feel a little worried when he thought about Anthony's relationship with Darknetz.

I wonder what Darknetz will do when they find out about Anthony's relationship with me.

Upon hearing silence from Kenneth, Dave narrowed his eyes. “What's the matter? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“Nothing. I'm just asking,” Kenneth replied.
