You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 437

Both Anthony and Benjamin froze for a moment. They exchanged a look, uneasiness written clear in their eyes.

“We saw him earlier. He went to the hidden room,” Anthony answered. Then, he stared straight at Dave. “What's wrong, Mr. Dave?”

“I've asked those in the hidden room, but they said he came out after going in for a cursory look. Then, he disappeared. I just came back from outside, and a car is missing from the courtyard!” Dave exclaimed.

“Are you saying that Daddy... has left?” Benjamin ventured.

Dave said nothing, but his meaning was evident.

Without a single word, Anthony whirled around and hurried off.

Dave eyed him in puzzlement. “Where are you going?”

“I want to go and look for Daddy!” Anthony strode right toward the door with a determined look in his eyes.

Seeing that, Dave stepped forward to stop him. “Do you know where he went that you're charging off to look for him?”

“I don't care where he went! Anyway, I'm going to look for him!” Anthony insisted.

When Dave saw that he was still adamant about it, he blocked his path directly. “No, you can't go out.”

“Mr. Dave, Daddy couldn't have gone far yet. Thus, we can still find him if we want to do so. But as time goes by, we won't be able to find him anymore!” Anthony uttered urgently, his eyes fixated on the man.

“Nothing will happen to him at the moment, but if you were to step out of this door and run into danger, I wouldn't be able to explain things to him!” Dave maintained.

“That's unnecessary!” Anthony argued.

“Even so, you can't go out!” Dave remained firm without showing any signs of budging.

Panic swamped Anthony. He was determined to leave by all means, but Dave couldn't possibly allow him to do so. The latter stood in his path, his absolute height and physique making it clear that Anthony wouldn't be his match.

“Step aside, Mr. Dave!” he ordered, glowering at the man.

“Be good, Anthony!” Dave hissed lowly.

“I've never been a good boy!” It was clear as day that nothing could get through to Anthony right then.

When Dave saw he was still intent on barging out, he had no other choice left. He scooped the boy right up.

That promptly took Anthony aback.

“What are you doing, Mr. Dave? Let go of me!” He struggled wildly.

“I'll take you to someplace for you to calm down.”

“I don't need that! Let me down, Mr. Dave! I want to go and look for my daddy!” Anthony continued struggling.

Regretfully, Dave turned a deaf ear to him then. Hoisting the boy over his shoulder, he made to leave.

Before doing so, however, he cast a glance at Benjamin at the side. “Why, do you want to go out as well?” he inquired bluntly.

Under such circumstances, Benjamin naturally didn't dare admit to that.

He hastily shook his head. “No!”

“Then, come with me!”

“Do I still need to go with you even if I'm not going out?” Benjamin asked tentatively. He initially planned to have Anthony kick up a fuss while he took advantage of the chaotic situation to sneak out. Alas, things seemingly weren't developing according to his plan.

“Are you going to come with me willingly, or do you want me to carry you in my other hand?” Dave threatened.

Benjamin was a smart cookie, so he immediately replied, “I'll come willingly!”

With that, Dave walked ahead with Anthony over his shoulder while Benjamin trailed behind.

“Let me go, Mr. Dave! Are you just going to watch idly by as my daddy goes to his death?” Anthony bellowed.

“Don't worry. Not just anyone can take your father's life.”

“Did you forget our chat yesterday? You promised to help me!”

“Yes, I did promise to help you, but I now suddenly feel that my decision yesterday might have been a mistake.”

“Why?”

“Because you're too impulsive!”

“I—”
