You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 682

“Ms. Watson, I finally received your call,” Boss uttered on the other end of the line.

Natasha contemplated briefly before saying, “I can go and help you, but I have a condition.”

“What is it?”

“I need the antidote.”

“That's for sure. I'll definitely give you the antidote if you come here.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

“Aren't you afraid I'll run away again?”

Boss chuckled after hearing that. “Rest assured. I've got a plan.”

Natasha pursed her lips. “Wait for my phone call, then.” With that, she hung up again.

Mixed emotions churned within Natasha as she stared into the distance.

Meanwhile, Benjamin and Denise followed Anthony into the room.

Anthony immediately lay on the bed and covered his head with a blanket.

Benjamin and Denise exchanged glances at the sight of his demeanor. Benjamin walked over and sat on the couch while Denise approached Anthony. “Tony, you can let us know what's bothering you. Maybe we can help.”

“It's nothing. I'm fine,” Anthony replied gloomily.

“You don't look like you're fine,” Denise said.

“It's better if you don't know about this. There's no need to spread this misery.”

Denise turned to look at Benjamin, who was seated on the couch.

Benjamin pondered briefly before uttering, “That's enough, Denise. Tony is just a little troubled. Give him some time to mull things over, and he'll be fine.”

Denise knitted her brows while listening to him. Does he need to be so ruthless?

Benjamin added, “Let's go. Let's go back to our rooms and let Tony have some time alone.”

She glanced at Anthony and nodded. “Okay.”

Subsequently, the two ambled to the door, repeatedly turning their heads around to look at Anthony. Still, the latter showed no inclination to halt them from leaving.

When they reached the door, Anthony piped up, “Hold on.”

Benjamin and Denise whirled around at once.

“Close the door behind you. Thank you.”

Hearing that, Denise and Benjamin were momentarily stunned and a little disappointed.

“Okay,” they responded and exited the room.

The two kids stood outside the room after shutting the door.

“I can't believe Tony didn't fall for our trick,” Denise said.

Benjamin sighed. “That means the problem between them should be pretty serious.” He let out another sigh while staring at the door. “Tony is a prideful person. I'm afraid Thalia has said something to hurt his dignity.”

“T-That couldn't be, right?”

“Who knows? We can only know what happened when Tony is ready to tell.” With that, Benjamin moved away.

Denise stood rooted in her spot and frowned at his leaving figure from behind.

Anthony lay on the bed inside the room.

He waited until his siblings left before lifting the blanket off his head.

Complicated emotions glinted in his eyes as he stared at the ceiling.

The experiences he shared with Thalia, from when they first met until they ultimately grew inseparable, flooded his mind.

After eating a few mouthfuls, he turned around to gaze at his siblings behind him.

“What's the matter?” Denise asked after taking in the look in Anthony's eyes.

Anthony pursed his lips. “Aren't you two curious to know what happened?”

Denise froze at the mention of that.

Benjamin replied, “It's all right if you don't want to talk about it. That's not important.”

Anthony thought for a few moments. “Thalia wants to cut all ties with us.”

“Cut all ties?” Denise asked.

Benjamin furrowed his brows in response.

“That's right. She also mentioned some unpleasant remarks. It doesn't seem like she's joking.”

Denise muttered, “Why is this happening...”

Benjamin contemplated for a few seconds before asking, “Do you believe her?”

“It doesn't matter whether I believe her or not. The most important thing is that was her wish.”

“Although we didn't spend much time with Thalia, we understood her character well. She's a very optimistic person. Besides, she couldn't have faked her day-to-day personality around us all the time, so I believe she must have her reasons for doing this,” Benjamin said.

Denise nodded in agreement. “He's right. I think so too.”

Anthony pursed his lips. “What could be her reasons, then?”

Benjamin pondered briefly before looking at him. “I don't know if you two noticed this earlier today, but Spencer and Nat's conversation in the car sounded very weird. It was as if they were implying something else with their words.”

“Not only in the car. Unusual things have been happening lately. Daddy told us he's not fond of Thalia, but he even took part in searching for her. They must be hiding something from us.” Denise sounded as if she was grumbling, but her words hit the nail on the head.

Anthony and Benjamin exchanged a look.

“Also, regarding what happened in Thalia's room the other day, I can't shake off the feeling that these two incidents may be related. Perhaps we'll be able to clear up all our doubts if we can figure this out,” Benjamin said while gazing at the two.
