You're Out Daddy

Natasha had no intention of backing off from Kenneth. She looked him straight in the eye, shook her head, and replied, “No, I have nothing more to say to you.”

Kenneth let out a derisive smile and said, “How did I not notice earlier that you are such a good actress, Natasha?”

“Oh, really? That is great! I have another backup career choice then,” she jested.

Kenneth was exasperated and decided to play the bad guy.

He pulled a long face and said sternly, “Natasha, you know what I am talking about, and you obviously know what I am after. Cut the act and give me the answer!”

“What answer?” Natasha replied nonchalantly, keeping up with her innocent act.

“You…” Kenneth looked at her furiously and said, “Natasha, is Denise and the other child—”

“Kenneth, I am a patient now. Can you cut me some slack? Can’t we discuss whatever you have in mind after I get discharged?” Natasha cut him off, not giving him a chance to ask his question.

“Patient? You definitely don’t act like one, so pardon me for overlooking that!” he said.

Natasha lifted her hand and showed him her injuries.

There was no doubt she was injured, but Kenneth could not hold in his frustration any longer. He wanted to know the answer immediately.

“Just one question. You only need to answer one question from me, Natasha. Are they my children?” He looked at her with pleading eyes and asked.

“No.” It was a short and firm reply.

Kenneth could not accept that answer.

“Impossible! They are obviously my children!” He dismissed her reply.

Natasha took a deep breath and said, “I answered your question, but you refused to accept my answer. Why do you bother to ask me in the first place?”
