You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 544

Dave was in the middle of breakfast when Kenneth made his way downstairs the next day.

“Why are you up so early today?” the former teased while dining elegantly.

Kenneth walked over and sat across from him. “No reason in particular.”

Dave shot him a glance that turned into a stare. “What's up with you? You don't look so good!”

The latter coughed lightly. “Nothing much. Maybe I've caught a slight cold.”

“A cold?” Dave furrowed his brows at that. “But the weather's been perfect. How did you catch a cold?”

Kenneth picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a sip. “It must've been the cold shower I took last night.”

Dave froze. “You took a cold shower?”

Kenneth remained silent.

As though realizing something, Dave eyed him playfully. “Did you take a cold shower, or did you take many cold showers?”

He knew how resilient Kenneth's body was, after all.

There was no way the latter would catch a cold just from one cold shower.

As expected, Kenneth glanced up at him right away.

“I took many,” he enunciated.

Dave laughed and nodded. “I get what you mean now!”

Kenneth merely ate and stopped entertaining him.

Dave continued to smile with a hint of jest in his eyes.

Then, Kenneth spoke again. “Boss called me yesterday.”

Dave stilled briefly before composing himself. “He still has the nerve to contact you? What did he say?”

Kenneth paused for a long while upon recalling the video clip he had received. “He still hasn't given up.”

“That's not unusual. Not many people will give up when it comes to you.”

“That's why he's definitely up to something. If he can't find me, he'll be sure to cause DX trouble. So be careful,” Kenneth advised.

Dave smiled at that. “Vermillion base might be different from us in nature, but we have the upper hand whether it comes to funds or weapons. Do you really think he'd come after DX just like that?”

Kenneth nodded in response. “You may be right, but it wouldn't hurt to be extra cautious.”

“Don't worry. Preparations have been made long ago,” Dave assured. He had managed to remain as DX's person-in-charge all this while precisely because he handled all affairs well and never underestimated his foes, after all.

Kenneth nodded. “By the way,” he added after some deliberation, “I want the word spread in a few days' time. I may need your help when that happens.”

Dave turned to him. “That's not a problem, but will she believe it?”

“She will,” Kenneth guaranteed. “As long as it looks credible enough.”

There was nothing else Dave could say at this point. “Okay.”

As they were about done talking, Kenneth took another two bites of his food before pulling the two plates of breakfast on the table over to his side.

“What are you doing?” Dave asked in confusion.

“Nat hasn't woken up yet, so I'm bringing these upstairs for her.”

“But what about me?”

“You should eat less, or you'll be obese by the time you're fifty.”

Me? Obese?
