You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 729

Thalia's eyes glinted as she stared at them with an aggrieved and upset expression. “So what if I'm lying? Are you three going to tell me you've never deceived me before?”

In response to Thalia's drastic change in attitude, Denise objected, “No, we told you all our greatest secrets. We aren't lying to you about anything.”

“Truly?”

The girl turned to her brothers and reaffirmed, “Nope. We didn't lie about anything!”

It's time for me to show off my acting skills. Gazing at the children with a sneer, Thalia made her first move. “What about the fact that your mommy's the Shadow Seeker? Why didn't any of you tell me about her identity before?”

Err...

The trio was stunned.

That matter had almost been completely erased from their minds.

“You... don't know?” Denise asked.

“Don't give me that. You three should know the answer,” retorted Thalia.

The girl pursed her lips. It does seem like we're in the wrong for this...

Seeing that the children were staying quiet, Thalia took one step further. “All of you knew my mission was to locate Shadow Seeker, yet you three hid that information from me, making me look like a fool. Does it make you happy to do that to me, hmm?”

“We didn't mean to—”

Thalia interrupted Denise by raising her hand. “It doesn't matter what you three's intentions were because it doesn't erase the blow dealt to me. I spent so much time looking for her like an idiot. You know, I've been through thick and thin with you three, and I value your lives more than my own. How could you three be so cruel to lie to me? “

When she ended her sentence, the children grew silent as they believed they were at fault.

Due to the children's soft-hearted nature, Thalia handily made them feel guilty with her speech.

Moments later, Benjamin said, “Yes, we're wrong to hide Mommy's identity from you, but it's not like we lied. We merely concealed the truth.”

Ugh... With how things have turned out, I must keep going! When her train of thought ended there, she raised her eyes. “Yes, but someone promised me in the past that they'll never hide anything from me again!”

As she spoke, she gazed at Anthony. Clearly, she was referring to him. If I can subdue Anthony, then it's basically my victory, considering he's the leader and the toughest nut to crack among the three of them. Once he's dealt with, I can handwave the rest with the other two.

Unfortunately for her, Anthony didn't care about that. “I admit I hid Nat's identity from you, but I still don't think I did anything wrong. After all, it concerns Nat's privacy and safety. I trust you and am willing to put my life in your hands, but I can't afford the risk of revealing her secret. If given another chance, I'd still do the same without regrets.”

“You—” Thalia was speechless.

Her initial plan was to make the children feel guilty. However, she didn't expect him to come up with a perfectly logical explanation afterward. Furthermore, he was so sincere in his explanation that she was touched.

Feeling exasperated, she thought, These children are so difficult to deal with!

At the side, Denise nodded in agreement. “Tony's right, Thalia. It's not that we don't trust you. We discussed amongst ourselves whether to tell you about that before. In the end, we concluded that if Nat doesn't want us to let you know her secret, we can't reveal it to you.”

Upon taking a deep breath, Benjamin nodded. “That's right. So, if you're angry about this, we have nothing else to say.”
