You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 443

Anthony and Benjamin looked serious as Dave unbuckled himself and stepped out of the car.

In the car, the boys looked ahead warily.

Just then, a slender woman stepped out from the other vehicle and approached Dave.

The sassy Thalia accosted Dave and asked, “Where are they?”

Dave narrowed his eyes and replied, “It's you?”

“In the flesh!” Thalia smiled at him half-heartedly before demanding, “Hand them over!”

“Who?”

“You know who I am talking about—Anthony and Benjamin, of course. It's not as though I can ask you to hand Kenneth over to me,” retorted Thalia.

Narrowing his gaze, Dave asked, “Why are you looking for them?”

Coldly, she replied, “I know you've locked them up. Hand them over!”

“Oh. So you're here for a confrontation?”

“Yes!”

Dave scoffed and taunted, “What if I refuse to do so?”

Thalia shot him a dangerous glare as she approached him menacingly. She seethed, “Then don't blame me for what I'm about to do next.”

He scoffed again, scarcely frightened by her threat.

Naturally, his behavior infuriated Thalia, who slowly moved her hand behind her back. Before she could do anything more, Dave's car door suddenly opened.

Anthony yelped, “Thalia!”

His shout prevented the stand-off from escalating further.

Thalia turned around and was surprised to see Anthony and Benjamin alighting from Dave's car.

She looked at Benjamin and asked, “W-Why are you here? Didn't he lock you up?”

The boys were moved when they realized she had come for them.

Anthony approached Thalia and pulled her aside. He reassured her, “We're fine. Why are you here?”

Thalia's gaze swept over the boys. Once she ascertained that they were safe, she retorted, “Why else? You suddenly hung up on me. Do you know how worried I was?”

Anthony dared not hold her gaze as he mumbled, “I said I didn't want to drag you into this mess.”

“I'm afraid it's not as simple as that!”

“Well, what do you want?”

Thalia stared at the boy for a moment before muttering, “Never mind. I'm here to accompany you. Go on then. Lead the way!”

When she noticed Anthony staring wordlessly at her, she added, “Just to make things clear, I'm only here to protect you and Benjamin. I don't care about anything else!”

The boys stared at her agape, unsure of what to say.

At last, Thalia reached out and mussed their hair, chiding, “Why are you daydreaming? Let's go!”

Benjamin suddenly exclaimed, “Thalia!”

“Yes?”

“You don't need to come with us. We'll just go with Mr. Dave. It's not appropriate for you to go!”

Thalia instantly whirled around and stared at Dave, sputtering, “Did you just say he's going with you?”

“Yup!” Benjamin nodded.

“Didn't he lock you up before this?”

Benjamin explained, “Mr. Dave only locked us up because he was worried we would act rashly. We've already talked things through. That won't happen again.”

Thalia glanced suspiciously at Dave before asking, “So you trust him but not me?”

“This isn't a matter of trust...”

“Then let's go together!” Thalia interjected before Benjamin could finish his sentence. “You can focus on whatever you need to do while I protect you!”
