Chapter 785 The Hamilton Family Values Girls Over Boys
Just when Natasha was about reply to Anthony's remark, a figure walked in from outside.
“What's there for me to do if you're keeping my wife company?” On the heels of that, a low and deep voice drifted into the dining room.
Hearing that, the few people present snapped their eyes up and cast their gazes out.
Kenneth strolled in with great strides, his pace steady and his expression proud, looking as though a lofty king who had the world beneath his feet.
At the sight of him, Anthony lowered his gaze a fraction.
Conversely, a smile promptly bloomed on Denise's face, and she appeared to be over the moon. “Daddy!”
In response to her cheerful greeting, Kenneth dipped his head in acknowledgment. Then, he went over to Natasha. Upon seeing Denise seated there, he ordered, “Move over.”
That rendered Denise speechless.
Nonetheless, she still shifted over slightly with much reluctance.
After Kenneth sat down, he fixed his gaze on Natasha as though she was the only person who existed for him.
Seeing that, Denise frowned in disgruntlement. “Daddy.”
At her voice, Kenneth turned and looked at her, asking in a murmur, “What's wrong?”
Pouting, Denise whined in dissatisfaction, “You've changed.”
“Changed? How so?” Kenneth questioned.
“In the past, you always scooped me up when you saw me. But now, you're only concerned about Nat,” Denise groused aggrievedly, sticking her lower lip out.
Following that complaint, Kenneth pondered for a moment. “Is that so?”
“Of course! Back then, you even said that I was your darling. Is this how you treat your darling now?” Denise demanded.
As Thalia ate while listening in at the side, she almost spat out the food in her mouth on reflex.
When Kenneth swept his gaze over, she did not bother holding back, saying to Denise, “All men are liars. Yet, you believed him? Besides, he only called you darling back then for the opportunity to approach your mommy through you. You've been fooled.”
Hearing that, Denise jerked her head over and stared right at Kenneth. “Is that true, Daddy?”
“Of course not. Some people just can't stand seeing others live in harmony as a family, so don't listen to her nonsensical talk,” Kenneth denied. Reaching out, he scooped her up and placed her on his lap.
“I...” Thalia wanted to riposte that, but she abruptly stopped short. With her eyes pinned on the man, she enunciated, “Exactly. I can't stand seeing you all live in harmony, so I'll surely mess things up for you!”
Kenneth merely snorted a bark of laughter, wholly unworried about it. He trained his eyes on Denise. “Did you hear that? Therefore, never believe other people's attempts to sow discord.”
However, Denise curled her lips. “How are you going to prove it, then, Daddy?”
Kenneth deliberated for a while before taking something out of his pocket. “How about this?”
The item on his palm resembled a bracelet and looked incredibly cool yet exquisite. Curious, Denise snagged it from him. “What is this? A bracelet?”
“Yeah.” Kenneth nodded.
Denise fiddled with it. “What a unique design!”
Thalia had her eyes lowered as she ate. Only when she heard Denise's exclamation did she lift her eyes and cast her gaze over. The instant she saw the bracelet in the latter's hand, her brows furrowed.
“Is that Stealth?” she queried.
Right as her question rang out, everyone swung their gazes over, including Kenneth. He eyed her placidly. “You know your stuff.”
“If I don't even know that, I might as well retire from my line of work!” Thalia scoffed. Raising her eyes, she bore them into the man. “How did you get it?”
Kenneth said nothing.
Meanwhile, Denise alternated her gaze between them, realizing from Thalia's reaction that the bracelet was extraordinary.
“What is Stealth?” Denise asked.
“Stealth stands for stealth weapon. A seemingly insignificant and ordinary item may be a stealth weapon with many functions. It's made by the renowned K in the underground world. Rumor has it that he only makes one a year. How unexpected!” The look in Thalia's eyes as she studied Kenneth was tinged with surprise.
How much more is he capable of that he's keeping under wraps? How could he even be acquainted with K?
Contrarily, Denise was unbothered about it all. After learning about that, she turned her gaze to Kenneth. “Daddy...”
“I know you love beautiful things, so I put that in as a request,” Kenneth explained.
“So, this was made specially for me?” Denise ventured.
“Of course!” While saying that, Kenneth unfastened the bracelet and put it on for her. It fit her dainty and slender wrist perfectly, accentuating her delicate skin and regal aura.
On the whole, she looked just like a wealthy heiress.
“How beautiful!” Denise exclaimed.
Kenneth curled his lips. “Well? Do you like it?”
In response, Denise bobbed her head fervently. “Yes! I love it!”
“So, do you think you're still my darling?” Kenneth teased.
“Of course! You're the best, Daddy! You love me the most!” Elated, Denise brandished the bracelet, squealing happily, “Look, Nat!”
Natasha looked on, a perpetual smile on her lips.
“How do I use this, Daddy?” Denise asked.
“Here, I'll teach you. Look at this. This is the switch. If someone wants to bully you, you can choose the mode according to the situation,” Kenneth instructed solemnly.
Right then, Benjamin leaned over, his eyes riveted on the bracelet. Verily, he could not take his eyes off for even a second.
“Well? Do you know how to use it now?” Kenneth questioned.
Denise gave a nod of her head. “Yes, I got it.”
“Although there's a limit to the number of times it can be used, I've already ordered a batch for you to change. As such, you don't need to worry. But still, it's best to use this only during critical moments. Do you understand me?” Kenneth asserted.
Denise nodded. “Got it, Daddy.”
Witnessing it all, Thalia could not help interjecting dourly, “The watch I gifted you previously was also a stealth weapon, Denise. It can discharge a high voltage of electricity. Despite the relatively simple function, it's still exceedingly effective!”
At that, Denise burst into giggles. “Got it. I've got double protection now. What's there to fear when I've got this?”
Her delight made Kenneth feel that everything was worth it.
He then retracted his gaze and was about to say something when he noticed Anthony and Benjamin staring at him.
“What's the matter?” he asked.
Neither of them spoke, merely holding their hands out.
After all, parents could not favor one child over another.
Instead, all children should receive the same treatment.
Alas, Kenneth regarded them nonchalantly. “K only makes one a year. In consideration of the fact that Denise is a girl, I prioritized her first. If you two also wish to have one, wait for next year.”
Both Anthony and Benjamin were struck dumb.
Their dumbfounded expressions had Denise dissolve into laughter.
It's great to be Daddy's daughter!
“Sure enough, the Hamilton family values girls over boys.” Benjamin shook his head helplessly before he continued eating with his head lowered.
Anthony, on the other hand, lamented, “Luckily, I'm not a Hamilton!”
That remark seemingly made something or other clear.
Kenneth swept his gaze over the two boys. Anthony and Benjamin exchanged a glance before they resumed eating.
Narrowing his eyes into slits, Kenneth countered with his eyes pinned on them, “That doesn't matter. Nothing can change the fact that you have my blood flowing through your veins!”
That statement left them both without a retort.
