You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 921

Anthony looked at him, momentarily at a loss for words.

Benjamin was like a mirror image of Anthony, and Benjamin understood the latter's temperament in and out. Whenever there was a sign of trouble in Antony, Benjamin could detect it immediately. The fact that Benjamin had been kept in the dark for that long was already a miracle.

Anthony had considered telling Benjamin, and at that moment, he almost let it slip out.

However, when Anthony recalled the unbearable pain he felt in his heart the moment he learned the truth, he gave up on this idea. All that matters is that someone knows about it, and someone takes responsibility. The fewer people who know, the less pain there is.

With that in mind, Anthony narrowed his eyes, looked at Benjamin, and forced a smile. “Benjamin, don't overthink it...”

Seeing that he still refused to admit anything, Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Tony!”

Before he could say anything, Anthony interrupted him, “Benjamin, I know what you're thinking, but it's really not like that. You're overthinking it.”

Benjamin's brows furrowed in frustration, his gaze filled with an unspeakable urgency. “Tony, you're not telling the truth!” he exclaimed.

“This is the truth!” Anthony asserted firmly.

Benjamin's eyebrows furrowed tightly. Clearly, he's hiding something from me, but he refuses to admit it. This is driving me nuts! However, if I want to get something out of him, I need to stay calm.

After much thought, Benjamin said softly, “Tony, we've always shared everything, news, and burden. But now, you're clearly hiding something and refusing to admit it. Tony, do you really have to act like this?”

Anthony's eyes darkened. It was obvious that Benjamin's words indeed made him hesitate.

If it were anything else, Anthony might have spoken up. Yet, in the end, he still held his tongue.

While clenching his fists, Anthony insisted stubbornly, “It's not that I don't want to tell you, but there's really nothing to tell.”

Benjamin fell silent.

Looking at Anthony's eyes, there was an indescribable mix of anger and complexity.

After a while, Benjamin nodded calmly. “All right. If you don't tell me, I'll find out for myself.”

After speaking, he gave Anthony a meaningful glance, then turned and walked away.

As the door closed with a bang, Anthony stood inside, his emotions indescribably complex.

He lowered his gaze, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He let out a heavy sigh.

After leaving Anthony's room, Benjamin was so angry that his facial expression changed dramatically.

He knew that Anthony was hiding something from him, yet he was completely helpless about it.

Moreover, they had always been in constant communication with each other. Even if there were things left unsaid, he could guess them, and once guessed, Anthony would certainly admit it. That had been their way of communication for many years, but things had changed.

I don't know what's wrong, but my intuition tells him that something is off with Anthony. No. It's more like everyone seems a bit off-kilter now. I didn't notice before, but now that I think about it, it seems like everyone is hiding something. Benjamin's gaze gradually darkened. Since Anthony refuses to spill, I'll investigate it himself.

At that thought, he cast his gaze around, gradually forcing himself to calm down.

Then, after a moment of contemplation, he headed in a certain direction.

Inside the laboratory, Spencer was still diligently conducting his research and analysis in front of his desk.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Hearing the noise outside, Spencer called out without turning his head, “Come in.”

Benjamin pushed open the door and walked in.

Spencer didn't look back. His attention focused on the suspension in his hand. “Is there something you need?” he asked.

“Are you busy?” Benjamin queried.

Upon hearing the voice, Spencer paused slightly, turning to look at him. “It's you!”
