You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 866

Magus remained silent for a long time. He should have understood the reasoning that Anthony presented, shouldn't he?

However, over the years, he had been dwelling in complaints and regrets. It seemed that he had long forgotten his original intentions, forgotten that in the survival of the fittest world, one could only protect the ones they cared about by standing tall and far. Otherwise, the outcome would be like his own, used and discarded like a rag by others. He couldn't even protect his own family...

Even a child could understand that principle, yet he had been confused for so many years!

Magus continued with his work, his eyes filled with anger and regret toward himself.

If he could, he would give himself two slaps on the face right then.

After saying all that, Anthony, who was standing nearby, felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Facing topics that even Benjamin and Denise couldn't bring up, he had managed to say it so openly to Magus.

The heavy burden that had been weighing on his heart suddenly became much lighter in that moment.

Looking at him, Anthony spoke up, “Let's forget about these matters and this conversation after today. Don't tell my younger siblings, they don't need to know!”

Magus raised his gaze, scanning Benjamin and Denise who were not far away. Then he whispered, “Why not tell them?”

“This situation can't be changed anymore. The more people who know about it, the more pain there will be. If someone is already bearing the burden, Why make everyone else suffer as well?” Anthony asked.

Magus glanced at him but remained silent, keeping all his thoughts buried deep within his heart.

That night, it was extremely rare for him to have such a lengthy conversation with someone. It had been many years since he had experienced that, let alone set foot in that kind of situation.

“Don't worry, I have no interest in other people's private matters, let alone gossip about them,” Magus said.

Upon hearing that, Anthony nodded and said, “I can tell!”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Magus. “By the way, Thalia found you a job at one of her friend's places. Once this matter is over, you can go check it out. It shouldn't lead to the kind of situation you're worried about!”

Magus' eyes flickered with surprise upon hearing that, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at Anthony. “So, are you willing to let me off?”

Anthony smiled and said, “It's not about letting you off, it's about helping you fulfill your own aspirations. You have your own thoughts, and I'm not one to force others. As I said before, I need talented individuals, but that doesn't mean it has to be you!”

Magus lowered his gaze and continued to busily work on the task at hand.

However, Anthony suddenly thought of something, “But if you're willing to join us, I'm always happy to have you at any time until I find someone as capable as you. And I can promise you that I will never exploit you for any wrongdoing. Just look at how wealthy I am, and you'll know. I think you should seriously consider it. Today, I'm officially inviting you!”

However, Magus remained unmoved upon hearing that. Anthony wasn't surprised by his reaction.

He didn't expect that having a conversation like that with Magus would change his mind.

However, his attitude and thoughts were already laid out there, and whether it would work out or not depended on Magus' choice.

Magus lowered his gaze and continued with his work as if the two of them had never had a conversation.

Anthony watched him for a while before taking out his laptop from his bag.

He sat next to Magus who was busy with his craftsmanship while he too was occupied with his own tasks.

“Oh, by the way, give me your phone,” Anthony said, looking at Magus.

Magus was momentarily stunned, his gaze shifted to Anthony. Surprisingly, that time he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he took out his phone from his pocket and handed it over directly.

“Would you mind if I take a look?” Anthony asked.
