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

Chapter 678

Anthony immediately walked up to the housekeeping staff when he saw her approaching from the opposite.

“Hello! Could you open the door for me?” Anthony asked.

The housekeeping staff looked at him. “Don't you have your key card?”

“I was in a rush when I went out, so I forgot to bring it. I think my sister is taking a shower, and that's why she can't hear me. Could you help me?” Anthony asked sincerely.

He had the advantage of being a child, so others wouldn't expect him to be up to no good. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Which room are you staying in?” the housekeeping staff asked unhesitatingly.

“1209!” Anthony answered while pointing at the room.

The housekeeping smiled and nodded before walking to the room. “Is it this one?”

Anthony nodded in response.

The housekeeping staff quickly used his access card to open the door for Anthony. “There you go.”

“Thank you.”

“You're welcome.” With that, the housekeeping staff left with the cart.

Anthony only turned toward the door and entered the room after watching him leave.

The room was enormous, and when Anthony walked in, no one was around. This place looks exactly like before.

Upon entering the room, Anthony scanned his surroundings. Right then, he heard sounds coming from the bathroom.

Since Anthony had already scanned the surroundings, he had figured Thalia was taking a shower in the bathroom. He casually walked toward the couch and waited.

While waiting, Anthony saw some snacks on the table and went to grab some for himself.

A while later, the bathroom door opened, and Thalia was seen walking out.

She jumped in alarm the moment she turned around and saw someone sitting on the couch.

Still eating his snacks casually, Anthony flashed a smile and asked, “Are you done showering?”

Thalia was in her pajamas, and her hair was wet. She was initially shocked to see Anthony there, but she managed to regain her composure rather quickly.

She walked toward him, sat on the couch, and crossed her legs. “Why are you here?”

“Well, you're here, aren't you? Why can't I be here?”

Thalia glanced at him, then at the watch she had left on the table. Anthony knew what was on her mind, so he said, “There's no need to look at the watch. You've already switched off the GPS tracker. That's not how I found you.”

Thalia looked back at him and asked, “How did you find me, then?”

“Would you believe me if I told you it was my intuition?”

“What do you think?”

Seeing how stern her expression was, Anthony frowned. “Thalia, you're mad at Spencer, not me. Why would you keep me in the dark?”

Thalia looked away. “Who said I was angry at him?”

“Although I don't know the reason behind it, I'm certain that's the case.”

“I'm not.”

“Fine, if you say so. Since you're not mad at him, why did you leave without a word?”

“I have private matters to attend to.”

Anthony knew how bull-headed she was. “Then are you not going to bring us back to Darknetz?”

“I still have something else to deal with. Regarding your return to Darknetz, someone else will bring you back.” Thalia was still looking in the other direction.

“I'll only return if you bring me back!”

“You can do whatever you like!”

At that moment, Thalia's indifference was getting strange.

“What exactly is the matter with you, Thalia?” Anthony frowned.

“Nothing! I'm done playing. That's all! I don't want to play anymore!”

“Play? What do you mean by that? Who are you talking about?”

Thalia lifted her head and looked at Anthony, but she decided to keep the harsh words to herself.

“It's getting late. You should leave.” Thalia wanted Anthony to leave.

However, Anthony wasn't planning to. “I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on!”

A hint of displeasure flashed across Thalia's face. A moment later, she nodded and said, “Fine! If you're not leaving, I'll leave!”

With that, she rose to her feet and wanted to pack her belongings.

“Thalia, if I managed to track you down and found you here, what makes you think you can hide?”

“I'll just leave and go somewhere else far away. That should do it, right?”

Anthony furrowed his brows. “Are you serious, Thalia?”

“Do I look like I'm joking?”

“Thalia, are you really going to leave everything behind because of Spencer?”

“Yes!”

“Are you going to disregard the relationship between the both of us too?”

Thalia froze momentarily while staring at Anthony's face. “Anthony, I've been feeling really burnt out for a while now. We'll talk about it after Kyle brings you guys back to Darknetz.”

Anthony instantly noticed Thalia's tone wasn't as cold as before. I knew it! She was just faking it.

“Thalia, are you facing some kind of difficulties?” Anthony asked.

“I'm not,” Thalia answered swiftly.

Anthony looked at her for a while before saying, “No. I know you are.”

Thalia was startled.

“I know you're hiding something,” Anthony added.

Thalia panicked for a second, then flashed a mocking smile. “Anthony, don't you think you're too full of yourself? What? Do you think you're God or something? Do you think you know everything?”

Thalia's words were harsh and sarcastic.

Anthony was still a child. Those words acted like daggers stabbing through his heart, making him feel humiliated.

“I'll admit that when I first met you guys, I felt as though it was a breath of fresh air. Also, I know you're very capable, but you're only good with computers. Other than that, you're nothing. Wake up, will you? Stop being so presumptuous. And stop acting as though you know me!” Thalia went on.

Anthony could only stare into her eyes in response.

A while later, he asked, “Do you mean what you said?”

“Yes.” Thalia nodded. At that moment, her gaze was icy-cold.

“All right, I read too much into things today, and I'll never repeat my mistake again. Take care!” With that, he stood up and walked toward the door.

Thalia's eyelashes quivered slightly when she saw him walking past her.

When Anthony arrived at the doorstep, he said, “I'll pay you back what I owe you. After that, we will never see each other again.” As soon as he was done talking, he opened the door and walked out.

Once the door was closed, the aloofness on Thalia's face faded immediately.

Tears started to well up in her eyes when she looked in the direction of the door.

She knew how badly she had bruised his ego, but that was exactly why she said those words. That was the only way she could get him to stay far away from her.

“I'm sorry, Anthony. You're right, though. I don't think we'll ever see each other again...”
