You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 680

On the other side, Denise kept looking backward, and Benjamin said, “Stop looking. It's not like you'll see anything. Let's go.”

“Daddy, Ben, aren't you curious about what Tony's going to say to Nat?” Denise wondered out loud, unable to suppress her curiosity.

“What else can they possibly talk about? It must be about Thalia,” Benjamin said in a tone far more mature than someone his age should have.

When Kenneth heard him, the tension on his face relaxed a little, and he nodded in agreement.

Denise said, “It's been a really long while since I've seen Tony this angry. Say, what do you think Thalia said to Tony in the hotel?”

“What else? They must have fought,” Benjamin answered.

“But why would Thalia fight with Tony? She loves Tony so much,” Denise pointed out.

Benjamin furrowed his brows at that. He, too, found it strange.

Turning to Kenneth, he asked, “Daddy, are you hiding something from us?”

Kenneth lowered his head and asked, “What do you mean?”

“That's what I'm asking you. It seems that you all are hiding something from us,” Benjamin said.

“You're overthinking this,” came Kenneth's response.

Right as Benjamin was about to say something else, he spotted Anthony coming back to them, so he turned to his brother instead.

“Tony.”

“I'm going up to rest first.” With that, Anthony headed straight upstairs.

He still looked angry.

Benjamin said nothing after that as he followed Anthony upstairs.

Once Denise came back to her senses, she hurried after them. “Ben, wait for me!”

Kenneth watched them leave. Just then, Natasha came over, and Kenneth walked up to her.

“What did Anthony say?” Kenneth asked.

Natasha looked up the stairs and said, “Thalia probably believes that she'll die eventually, and that's why she left. I'm guessing she must have said some harsh things to him because she was afraid they'd be sad.”

The look in Kenneth's eyes turned somber when he registered her words.

Saying nothing else, Natasha went up the stairs as well.

Kenneth quickly shot out his arm to grab hers.

“Nat...”

Natasha turned around to look at him expressionlessly.

Kenneth pursed his lips and gazed at her with a complicated look in his eyes. “Nat, are you mad at me?”

“No.” Natasha shook her head.

“Are you not going to ask why I think you're mad?”

“I'm not angry, so this will be my answer no matter what you ask,” Natasha said in a serene voice.

Resignation bloomed in Kenneth's chest, and Natasha gave him a small smile.

“I'm being honest,” was all she said before turning around to leave again.

Kenneth pulled her into his arms. “Nat—”

Right as he was about to say something, Dave came in from the outside and spotted them. He froze for a second. Then, he instinctively covered his eyes and said, “Oh my, I didn't see anything.”

Hearing that, the two turned toward the doorway.

They were greeted by the sight of Dave standing a short distance away from them and facing them.

Kenneth lifted his head to give Dave a side-eye. “I'm asking you to help me think of a way to make her happy, not to get you to dispirit me.”

“Sorry, but I really can't help you with this,” Dave said with a chuckle, then received a glare in response.

“I shouldn't have asked you. All right, let's get back to the serious topics. How goes the preparations on your side?”

A solemn expression crawled back onto Dave's face. “Boss has been at home these few days; he hasn't come out for a while now. He has added more men around his house. It's not impossible if we want to launch an assault on him, but it'll be a challenging one.”

“So he's sure I'll come to him again,” Kenneth said.

“Yes. As long as the poison remains, he'll have leverage over you. He doesn't need to do anything but wait for you to go to him like a rabbit to the wolf's den.”

A smirk manifested on Kenneth's lips. “He must be dreaming if he thinks he has leverage over me. Besides, I'm no rabbit.”

Dave nodded. “That's right. You're no rabbit; you're a grizzly bear who's going to win against his pack of wolves.”

Kenneth hummed in agreement.

“Have you decided when you're going to strike?” Dave continued.

“I wanted to do it in these two days, but something cropped up on Thalia's side, so I think I'll have to postpone this for a few days more.”

Dave narrowed his eyes. “What happened?”

“You'll know soon.” With that, Kenneth stood up. “I'll be heading upstairs first.”

Dave teased, “Yes, yes, hurry up and pacify her, or else you'll end up a lonely man like me.”

Kenneth whipped his head around to look at Dave before shooting him a taunting look. “Don't worry. Even if she dumps me, I won't end up a lonely man like you. Don't forget that I still have three kids.”

Dave's face stiffened a little. Seeing that, Kenneth curled his lips and ascended the stairs.

Only after Kenneth was gone did Dave take in a deep breath.

I have to have a kid. Right. Now.
