You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 752

The triplets stayed in Natasha's room for the most of the day.

Conversation and laughter filled the room, making the atmosphere lively beyond words.

It was not until Kenneth kicked them out by saying that Natasha needed rest did they leave reluctantly.

In the corridor, Denise and Benjamin chattered about something or other.

Conversely, Anthony walked ahead of them with his head hung low and eyes focused on the ground. His brows were creased deeply. On the whole, he looked as though something was weighing on him.

All of a sudden, Denise called out to him, “What's wrong with you today, Tony?”

Anthony did not turn back but continued trudging forward with his head lowered and his mind a jumbled mess.

“Tony?” Denise repeated, jolting him out of his thoughts at long last.

Slightly startled, Anthony glanced over his shoulder with a blank expression on his face. “You called me?”

Frowning, Denise hurried up to him. “I already called you several times, Tony. What's wrong with you today?”

Anthony shook his head. “Nothing. I was merely thinking about something earlier.”

By then, Benjamin likewise had walked over and asked, “You've been looking moody today. What's wrong? Is something troubling you?”

Anthony merely shook his head once more. “No.”

Denise heaved a sigh of exasperation. “Putting aside the issue of whether there's a telepathic connection between us, Tony, thanks to the fact that we grew up together, we understand each other exceedingly well. Do you think we'll believe that?”

It went without saying that Anthony knew they would never believe him.

But at the thought that Natasha had endured such agonizing pain staunchly for no other reason than to keep them in the dark, he could not bring himself to tell them the truth after learning about it.

When it comes to such a matter, one will only suffer to know the truth.

Following that thought, he forced a smile. “Truly, I was thinking about something.”

“What is it?” Benjamin asked, studying his brother with his ebony eyes. I'm no fool.

Narrowing his eyes, Anthony stared at him. “Do you still remember the plan I told you about back then?”

Benjamin gave a brief nod. “Yeah, I do.”

“I don't want to wait anymore. I want to start executing it now,” Anthony said.

“Why so sudden?” A frown marred Benjamin's countenance.

“Since it's only a matter of time, why shouldn't I start making preparations earlier?”

As Benjamin brooded over it, his gaze remained trained on his brother worriedly. “While that's true... I still want to know why you made such a decision out of the blue.”

Anthony looked him straight in the eyes. “Benjamin, we must grow stronger. It's only then that we'll be able to protect Nat and everyone else we want to keep safe.”

“Is it because of the incident this time?”

“You can say that.”

After pondering for a while, Benjamin said, “Okay, got it. What do you want to do, then?”

“Let's pick our members first. If we want a strong team, manpower comes first!”

“But that's often the most difficult to find.” As Benjamin spoke, something abruptly occurred to him. “Oh yes, didn't you create a group to go up against Vermillion Base back then? Is there no one suitable in there?”

Anthony shook his head. “The most capable person in there is only above average, whereas the ones I want are the cream of the crop, the select few.”
