You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 697

Kenneth stared at the man before him. “You should've brought this matter up to me earlier!”

“Well, you should've anticipated that things would come to this,” Dave replied, prompting Kenneth to glower at him.

Knowing that he was indeed in the wrong, Dave sighed and continued, “I'm sure you can also tell that what Alexia feels for you is more than pure gratitude. I did give it a lot of thought before making my decision. That's how I realized the only way for her to get over you is by letting her repay your kindness. Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before she gets carried away by her emotions.”

Kenneth couldn't help but furrow his brows as he listened intently.

“Don't worry. I'll take responsibility for it when the time comes,” Dave reassured.

“You'd better not go back on your word.”

“Oh, relax. I won't pass the buck to you!” Dave replied before being hit by a sudden realization. “Wait a minute... Are you this worried because a certain someone has lost her temper?”

“Lost her temper?” Kenneth muttered, the exasperation in his voice palpable. “How I wish that were the case.”

“What do you mean?”

“Even now, she still doesn't see this as a big deal,” Kenneth sputtered, clearly unhappy and vexed.

“Really?” Dave asked. “Aren't women naturally more sensitive and paranoid about these matters? There's no way they'd tolerate them.”

“Ha. That may be so, but she's a rare specimen who refuses to play by the book!”

Dave, who had had similar experiences, shot Kenneth a wary look. “In the past, my partner would've turned green with envy if I got close to anyone of the opposite sex. Even if they didn't feel that way, they'd still pretend to be jealous and angry. Otherwise, it'd seem like they didn't care at all...”

Upon hearing that, the latter quickly turned around. “Now that you've said that, I feel much more at ease.”

“Why is that?”

“I suppose Nat is different from everyone else, so we can't compare her to others. That's all the reassurance I need, isn't it?” Kenneth quipped, nodding confidently to himself before walking away.

Dave eyed the man in puzzlement. “Where are you going?”

“It's time to eat.”

Despite being struck speechless, Dave couldn't help but chuckle at Kenneth.

Well, I must admit Kenneth has a point. After all, how can Natasha be compared to other people?

With that thought in mind, Dave put his smile away and left.

Meanwhile, at the dinner table, Natasha was scrolling through her phone while eating.

When Kenneth walked up and sat opposite her, she lifted her head to meet his gaze. “Done chatting so soon?”

“Yes,” Kenneth said with a nod.

With that, Natasha continued eating, her eyes occasionally darting to her phone.

Kenneth, however, couldn't stop scrutinizing the woman before her. Hmm... From what I can tell, Natasha isn't putting on an act. She just isn't angry at all.

The next second, he pretended to clear his throat, and it wasn't long before his cough caught Natasha's attention.

“What's wrong? Do you have a sore throat?”

Kenneth merely looked at her and nodded.

Without further ado, Natasha handed her cup of water to him. “Here, drink up. It'd help to soothe your throat!”

After inspecting the cup and the lipstick stain left behind, Kenneth lifted it to his mouth and drank from the same spot.

Of course, his actions didn't go unnoticed by Natasha.

Even though there was nothing special about drinking from someone else's cup, it was impressive how Kenneth could still make it seem like an intimate and titillating act.

Natasha smiled and said nothing more.

After putting the cup down, Kenneth gave a satisfied nod. “Ah, that was good. My throat does feel better now.”
