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

Chapter 762 The Love Of Parents

Natasha raised a brow upon hearing that. “You want to go to DX to have a look?”

Thalia arched her brow as well. “I can't sneak into DX, but I heard from Denise that she's shown up a few times. Furthermore, it's a must for me to meet her!”

“Wait, so Denise told you that?”

“Mm-hm!” Thalia nodded smugly.

Natasha's lips curled into a smile. This was the first time someone took her side and thought about things from her perspective. She could deal with this matter herself, but it was great having someone who supported her unconditionally.

Subsequently, she was reminded of something. “Does Darknetz know you're here?”

A hint of resignation flashed across Thalia's eyes. “No. If they knew, they might think I'm a traitor..”

“Is there really no way for Darknetz and DX to meet in the middle, then?” asked Natasha. She was worried about the three kids. This was something they had to face.

Thalia's brows furrowed at that, and she shook her head. “It's challenging, as far as I'm concerned.”

Natasha narrowed her eyes.

“Are you worried about the kids?”

“It's something they have to face down the line,” said Natasha calmly.

Thalia picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip. “I thought your style of education was more relaxed. Why are you worried all of a sudden?”

“They're my children. Of course, I'd be worried. I'd think matters regarding them, but ultimately, the choice is theirs,” Natasha responded.

After Thalia heard that, her gaze softened. “You're the best mother I've ever seen. If there were a class for motherhood, you'd ace it.”

“Even when I'm practically leaving my kids to their own devices?”

“It seems like it on the surface, but you'd step in when it matters most. I've seen many families over my adventures. Most parents would either control their children or abandon them. Some families literally place their whole pride on their children's success. If their children fail to live up to their expectations, they'll be thrown into the dungeon of humiliation. Not many children actually feel safe and secure around their parents. However, you manage to provide your kids with that. The three little ones are outstanding.”

A smile hung on Natasha's lips. “I wasn't raised by my parents. Grandpa did that. Back then, I left Kenneth all because of the children. To be honest, I never thought I could raise them, let alone raise them this well. I didn't really do anything. Sometimes, I think they're the ones who saved me.”

Thalia leaned closer. “Children learn by example. There's a reason your children grew up brilliant.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Natasha was silent for a moment, then she nodded. “True. I am rather brilliant.”

Thalia was about to continue with her compliments, but she stayed silent for a while as she didn't know what to say next after hearing Natasha's words. The next second, she looked at Natasha and said, “That's not how one should respond to compliments...”

Natasha smiled. “I was just agreeing to your words.”

Thalia smiled as well. The duo proceeded to have a good, long chat. Both of them had only a few friends, and they seemed to understand each other at that very moment.

“Oh, right, we're straying from the main topic. Even though the feud between Darknetz and Kenneth is going to be quite a challenge to solve, Kyle's not a bad guy. He won't do anything to the kids just to get at Kenneth. Don't worry about that. The worst that can happen to the kids is having them quit Darknetz.”

“But will Kyle let them go?”

“Definitely not,” said Thalia. “It's not every day you run into geniuses like Anthony and Benjamin.”

“So what do you think he'll most probably do?”

She's worried about the children's future. A few moments passed in silence, and then Thalia frowned. “I have no guesses, but I can guarantee they won't lay a finger on the three little ones.”

“I don't share your trust in him, I'm afraid,” said Natasha.

“So... Do you have other plans?” Thalia asked.

Natasha shook her head. “Not for now. But if Kyle lays one finger on them, there will be hell to pay. I will destroy Darknetz even if that means breathing my last!”

It was supposed to be a regular chat, but Thalia felt tension hanging in the air. “You want me to tell Kyle that, don't you?”

Natasha smiled. “You didn't have to say that out loud.”

“Oh, don't worry. Kyle can't just hurt Anthony even if he wants to. Anthony is no regular member. He's one of the core members. Sure, nobody's seen him, but he controls most of the organization's core information. Even without your help, he can bring Darknetz down easily.”

“And I can help him destroy Darknetz,” responded Natasha calmly.

Thalia raised a thumb. “So cool!”

“Well, that's the worst-case scenario. I am still holding out for a peaceful solution,” Natasha voiced her mind.

“Me too. Everyone as well,” said Thalia. “Holden is actually the key to this. He hates Kenneth's guts. Kyle is the leader, yes, so he has to weigh the pros and cons of this operation, and he thinks they have something to gain from it. Furthermore, he empathizes with his buddy's predicament. So, he's not directly related to this feud and merely a participant.”

Natasha asked, “What happened? What actually happened between them?”

“Uh... I'm not too sure about this either. You should ask Kenneth. After all, he's definitely clearer about this,” Thalia replied.

Natasha nodded.

“Oh, just relax. As long as I'm there, I'll never allow anyone to hurt them, let alone Darknetz. I swear on my life that if someone hurts them, I'll destroy them,” Thalia promised while staring into Natasha's eyes.

The latter glanced at her and smiled. “You didn't have to promise me anything.”

“You don't trust me?”

“On the contrary. You're the only one I trust. Kenneth aside, I mean.”

Thalia stared at her in shock. Natasha was not one to simply trust others, but on the rare occasions she did, it was genuine. At that moment, she wished she had met Natasha earlier. “I won't let you down,” Thalia said smilingly.
