You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 671

After a brief silence, Kenneth looked that them through the rearview mirror and smiled. “What's wrong? Why are you boys so quiet?”

When the boys regained their senses, Anthony asked, “I was just thinking. Grandma must be really beautiful, right?”

The mere mention of her brought a gentle look to Kenneth's eyes. “Yeah, she is.”

“Daddy, do you take after her, then?”

After pondering briefly, Kenneth nodded. “Kind of.”

“In that case, I, too, have inherited Grandma's good looks. This is wonderful. We have a hereditary trait that skips a generation.” Anthony's attention shifted to Benjamin as he spoke. “I got her good looks, while Benjamin received her wisdom. Grandma is such a fair woman.”

Anthony's repeated mention of his grandmother warmed Kenneth's heart.

She was someone he had dearly cared for over the years. Even though he never mentioned her, she was never far from his mind.

Anthony talking about her made him feel as if she had never left.

“What about Denise?” Benjamin asked.

“What about her?” Anthony threw the question back at him.

“Who does Denise look like?”

Kenneth broke into a vibrant smile and replied, “She's the one who resembles your grandma the most!”

“Really?” Anthony was surprised.

“Back then, your grandma had plenty of suitors, just like a movie star, but she rejected all of them. She buried herself in scientific research and never regretted it.” Kenneth's voice carried a hint of melancholy as he related the past to them.

Anthony responded with a thoughtful nod. “I didn't expect Grandma to be so noble.”

“Is she?”

“Of course she is.”

Kenneth didn't comment any further. Perhaps she is.

“Daddy, tell us more about Grandma,” Anthony urged.

Kenneth took a deep breath. He was contemplating what to share when their car came to a stop.

Anthony and Benjamin looked out the window and realized they had arrived outside the castle gates.

With that, Kenneth changed his mind. “Some other day.”

His response snuffed out the initial sparkle in the boys' eyes.

When Kenneth saw Mike and Luke approaching them, he alighted from the car.

“Boss, we still need to tie up loose ends at the organization. We'll be heading back, then.”

Kenneth nodded. “All right. Go ahead.”

“Call us if there's anything you need, Boss.”

Kenneth nodded again.

Just as both of them were leaving, Anthony lowered the car window and called out, “Mike.”

Upon hearing Anthony's voice, Mike leaned over and gave him a cheeky look. “What's up, kid?”

“Thank me.”

“Thank you? What for?” Mike was baffled.

“For saving your life just now!”

“Saving me? When?”

“Do you know that Mr. Dave's car is equipped with weapons?” Anthony asked.

Mike nodded. “I do. We came here upon receiving a notification from it.”

“But Daddy wasn't aware. When your car was following us just now, Daddy would have shot you to kingdom come if I hadn't stopped him.”

Mike turned to Kenneth at once. “Kenneth, is that true?”

Kenneth bobbed his head earnestly in return. “I forgot about it.”

Mike was suddenly lost for words.

“I told you, didn't I?” Anthony cocked a brow.

Pursing his lips, Mike returned his attention to Anthony. “Fine. Thank you, then.”

“You're just paying lip service. Show some sincerity, will you?”
