You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 786

Breakfast passed in an incredibly lively atmosphere.

Denise was as happy as a clam wearing the bracelet given by Kenneth. Benjamin loved studying such things, so the two of them went someplace to do so after eating.

Meanwhile, Kenneth stared at Anthony, his gaze dimming a shade. “When are you leaving?”

“Tonight.”

Kenneth inclined his head in acknowledgment, stating, “I'll have someone go with you all. He can back you up if anything happens during the journey.”

Naturally, Anthony could not decline his father's offer, especially when the person to do so had been decided upon. He could only shift his gaze to Natasha.

Natasha belatedly turned to Kenneth. “Who do you have in mind?”

“Luke. You've seen him before,” Kenneth answered.

Natasha nodded. “I remember him.”

“He's skilled in combat, so he can likely back them up if he tags along.”

Natasha did not nix it at once but mulled it over for some time. “He'd been to Vermillion Base previously. Although he didn't meet Boss face to face, it doesn't mean Boss has no idea about him. Would he put Anthony and the others in a dangerous situation if he were to go with them?”

Upon hearing that, Kenneth knew that she had someone else in mind. He casually rested his hand on the back of her chair. “What do you suggest, then?”

Natasha propped a hand against her cheek in a contemplative gesture. A moment later, she held the man's gaze. “There's someone else who's suited for the task.”

At her reply, Kenneth lifted his eyes and stole a look at Anthony before surreptitiously withdrawing his gaze. “Who is it?”

“The apprentice Anthony took in, Miguel. What do you think?” Natasha ventured.

At her proposal, Kenneth lowered his eyes slightly and bobbed his head after a brief while of pondering. “I heard from Dave that he's also well-versed in computers and combat. He's quite skilled at fighting.”

“So, do you approve?” Natasha confirmed.

“I have no problems with it. But... are you the one who thinks he's good, or does someone else think so?” As Kenneth spoke, his gaze landed on Anthony.

It went without saying that Natasha knew there was no fooling him. Hence, she divulged, “Your son thinks so.”

Dumbstruck, Anthony grumbled, “Don't you think you sold me out too quickly, Nat?”

Natasha merely leaned back against the chair languidly. “If I said I thought so, your daddy would've been jealous again. As you know, he's scary when he's green with envy!”

She shot a look at Kenneth as she said that. However, the latter evidently had no intention of refuting that.

On second thought, Anthony felt that it made sense.

That's true. Besides, when he's jealous... Oh well, I don't even dare imagine what would happen!

At that thought, Anthony admitted, “It was my idea. I'm already familiar with Miguel. That aside, it's only natural that I take him out to train since I'm his mentor. Furthermore, Mr. Dave has agreed!”

“You, taking him out to train?” When Kenneth heard that, his lips curved into a smirk.

“Daddy, while I'm young and lack a certain amount of experience, everyone has his own strengths. He doesn't necessarily know more just because he's older than me. Moreover, there are always things I can teach him. Otherwise, why would he acknowledge me as his mentor?” Anthony quirked a brow at his father.

Undeniably, his words were true to an extent.

Ultimately, there was always something to learn from others.

Thus, Kenneth nodded in agreement. “You're right. I was too shallow.”

“Then, I can bring Miguel along, yes?” Anthony pressed, seizing that golden opportunity.

“Of course. Dave has agreed, so I've got no objections either!” Kenneth replied.

As soon as Anthony heard that, the corners of his mouth turned up. “I'll go and tell Miguel about this right away!”

Kenneth nodded.

Getting to his feet, Anthony walked away.

“Wait!” Natasha piped up without warning.

Anthony glanced over his shoulder at her.

“I'll go with you,” Natasha offered.

“Why?” Anthony questioned.
