You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 535

Upon hearing that, Natasha fixed her gaze on the little girl.

“What's up, Nat? Is something wrong?” asked Denise.

Natasha pondered for a moment before explaining, “This isn't our home. It belongs to your daddy's friend, so we can't just do as we please.”

Denise furrowed her brows and was just about to say something when Dave's voice rang out behind her.

“It is always a pleasure to greet a friend from afar. Who this house belongs to doesn't matter.” As he strode toward them, Dave fixed his gaze on Natasha and Denise. “My house has been rather empty all these years, but your arrival made this place livelier, so please don't be so courteous with me and treat this place as if it's your own home.”

Kenneth remained silent as he listened with his brows slightly arched.

Just then, Natasha wanted to say something, but she noticed Denise was staring dazedly at Dave. “Mister, you're really handsome... just like a prince in a TV show.”

Dave found himself at a loss for words. The little girl's praise amused him.

Listen to that. An innocent compliment like that feels genuine and sincere. Finally, someone in this family has some tact.

He looked at Denise and beckoned to her. “Come here.”

The little girl got out of Natasha's embrace and made her way to Dave, looking obedient and adorable as she stood in front of him.

“Your name's Denise?” asked Dave in a soft voice, his tone much gentler than before.

Denise nodded in response. “Yeah.”

Dave gave her a once over before complimenting her, “You're very pretty. I really didn't expect your daddy to have a daughter as pretty as you.”

Everyone loved a compliment. Hence, Denise lifted the corners of her lips into a smile as soon as she heard the man's words. “You're very handsome, too, Mister. You're way better looking than movie stars!”

Dave looked over at Kenneth with a teasing gaze. After that, the former fixed his eyes on Denise and asked, “Then, who's more handsome? Me or your daddy?”

Upon hearing his question, Denise furrowed her brows and pretended to be upset. “Mister, do you not enjoy our talk or do you dislike me? Why would you ask me such a difficult question? What do you think I should say?”

The little girl's brilliant retort stunned Dave.

He looked over at Kenneth, who had his brows quirked and was wearing a smug expression on his countenance.

Denise was a natural-born drama queen and could change her expressions with the snap of a finger. Her award-winning acting could convince everyone she was truly upset by the situation.

Dave looked at her, unable to conjure a response at that moment.

“That's not what I meant...”

“Mister, your question is equivalent to asking a child if she likes her mom or her dad more, but no matter how she answers the question, she still needs to make a choice despite liking them both equally,” Denise countered.

“You've got a point. I've never been a parent, so I didn't know. I'm sorry for asking such an insensitive question. Don't be mad, Denise.”

As soon as the words left Dave's lips, Denise instantly flashed him a bright smile. “Since you've said that, then I won't be mad anymore. After all, most handsome men tend to say things they don't mean, so they should be forgiven!”

Once again, Dave was rendered speechless by the little girl's witty response.

The shift in her attitude was so quick he could barely keep up.

He looked at Kenneth and Benjamin. Both of them had smiles hanging on their lips.

At that point, Natasha couldn't help but chime in, “Don't be rude, Denise!”

Denise turned to look at her and retorted, “I was just teasing him.”

Only then did realization dawn upon Dave. He had been fooled by the little girl.

Well, how could I forget that she and the two boys are siblings born at the same time? The two of them are incredibly smart, so of course, she'd be similar. I almost got fooled by her cute and obedient appearance.

“As expected, you're just like your daddy. You're both actors,” Dave remarked.

“I'll take that as a compliment, Mr. Dave.”

“Oh, you know me?”
