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

Chapter 679

Anthony's expression was grim when he left the room.

He entered the elevator, walked through the lobby, and walked toward the car. Everyone in the car was waiting for him, hoping he would bear good news. When they saw him exiting the hotel, someone opened the car door.

Spencer got out of the car and looked at Anthony. “How did it go?”

Anthony gazed at him and pulled out something from his ear before giving it to Spencer. “Do it yourself.”

Anthony got into the car, looked for an empty spot, and sat down.

At that moment, he was exuding an aura, seemingly telling everyone not to mess with him.

Everyone in the car was looking at him before exchanging glances with each other.

“What's the matter, Tony?” Denise asked.

“Nothing,” Anthony answered coldly.

Denise merely looked at him in silence.

Anthony had always been patient with her, but she knew not to mess with him when he was angry.

Everyone in the car was still looking at Anthony. Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew Thalia was surely in the hotel. Otherwise, Anthony wouldn't have acted that way after exiting the hotel.

Right then, Natasha asked, “Anthony, what exactly happened? Is Thalia in there?”

Anthony would throw tantrums at anyone but Natasha.

No matter how angry he was, he would always try his best to suppress his anger.

He took a deep breath and nodded at Natasha. “She's inside, and she's staying in Room 1209. However, she told me that if we were to look for her again, she would leave for good.”

Spencer was just about to rush out of the car, but he immediately changed his mind when he heard the last sentence.

Natasha observed Anthony's expression and assumed that his conversation with Thalia didn't end well. I think the conversation went horribly wrong. Thalia must've said something harsh. Otherwise, Anthony wouldn't behave this way. But no matter what Thalia said, I think she has a good reason for it.

At that thought, Natasha bobbed her head.

“I'll go talk to her,” Spencer said.

“If you do that, you may end up making things worse,” Natasha warned. “Are you really going to force her into leaving for good?”

“What should we do, then? We can't possibly leave her here, can we?”

Natasha said nothing in response.

“Thalia used to stay here on her own before, no? What's the problem?” Benjamin piped up.

Everyone froze at the mention of that.

Benjamin merely sized them up before looking away. Why do I feel there's something weird about their reactions?

Kenneth looked at Benjamin and said, “Thalia is injured, and there are a lot of people after her. Spencer is just worried about her.”

That was a good explanation, but Benjamin still felt something was amiss.

Natasha gave it some thought and said, “Let's go back first.”

“Go back?” Spencer cast her a confused look.

“Well, you can stay here,” Natasha answered. “If you stay here, you can at least watch out for her.”

“What's your plan?” Spencer asked.

“I'll get her to come to see me on her own accord!”

Everyone in the car turned to look at her.

Instead of explaining herself, Natasha gazed at Spencer and said, “Stay here and wait for my call.”

Although Natasha was a woman, Spencer knew how capable she was in terms of both intellect and action.

Spencer nodded in response because he trusted her unconditionally.

On their way back, Denise would occasionally glance at Anthony. I haven't seen him so angry in a long time.

Denise wanted to ask something, but she quickly saw Benjamin shaking his head at her.

Upon getting the hint from Benjamin, Denise suppressed her urge to question Anthony.

Needless to say, the ride back was an awkward one.

Natasha was also keeping mum while looking out the window, and she seemed to have something on her mind. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Kenneth turned to Natasha, and he wanted to say something to her. However, he halted when he saw her looking out the window.

The atmosphere remained the same all the way back to the castle.

After the car came to a halt, Natasha was about to hop off when she heard Anthony saying, “Nat, there's something I need to tell you.”

Natasha looked at him and nodded.

Anthony shot a glance at Kenneth, Denise, and Benjamin.

Knowing what Anthony had in mind, Kenneth said, “Come. Let's wait for them inside.”

Benjamin and Denise exchanged glances and nodded before following Kenneth in.

Outside the castle, Natasha looked at Anthony and asked, “What is it?”

Anthony pursed his lips. “Nat, I don't recommend meddling in Thalia's business anymore.”

“Why?”

“She doesn't need us.”

“Did you guys have a fight?”

“No. It's just that we both have a mutual understanding.”

It was a fight, all right. “Anthony, let's just say Thalia is in danger now. Will you help her?”

A hint of concern instantly flashed across Anthony's eyes when he heard those words. “Danger? What danger?”

“You're clearly worried about her. Why would you act as though you don't care about her at all?”

Anthony immediately pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind and replied, “I'm not worried. It's just that I'm still indebted to her. Once I've repaid her, I'll have nothing to do with her!”

Anthony sounded extremely cold and decisive.

To his surprise, Natasha started laughing.

“Nat, what are you laughing at?” Anthony frowned.

“Anthony, I don't know what Thalia told you, but I'm sure she didn't mean it,” Natasha said calmly.

Anthony stared at her for a while before asking, “Nat, you've only known her for that long. How do you know what's on her mind?”

“I guess you can call it a woman's instincts!” Natasha responded.

“Well, I would like to think so too, but she was too harsh... From now on, I'm not going to care about matters concerning her anymore. I want nothing to do with her!” Anthony mumbled.

Natasha wanted to say something in response, but Anthony added, “Nat, I advise you to leave her alone because the more you care about her, the more she'll disappoint you!” With that, he got up and left without waiting for Natasha's response.

Anthony still seemed extremely pissed off.

However, Natasha knew that the angrier Anthony was, the more Thalia was trying to look out for him. Oh, Thalia... It seems that you care about him more than I do! Regardless of whether it's a

responsibility or an obligation, I'm determined to save you, Thalia. I don't care what it takes.

Natasha lowered her head and headed inside.
