You're Out Daddy

Chapter 147 A Lifelong Partner

The two of them got into the car, but Terence was nowhere in sight.

“Where’s Old Mr. Watson?” Zachary asked.

Alas, Natasha said nothing. She hadn’t seen Terence since they left the ward, so it didn’t take long for her to figure out his intentions.

Just then, Zachary’s phone rang.

“Ah! It’s Old Mr. Watson,” he mumbled before answering the call and looking around to see if he could spot Terence. “Hello, Old Mr. Watson. Where are you?”

“I’ve driven off first, Zach. I want to pop by the supermarket to get some groceries, so can I trouble you to send Nat home? Stay the afternoon, too. Let’s have lunch together,” Terence piped up happily.

Struck by the realization of what Terence was trying to do, Zachary paused for a moment. He cast a sidelong glance at Natasha and lowered his voice. “I can go with you once I’ve sent Nat home.”

“No, it’s all right. Grocery shopping isn’t for youngsters like you. I’ll be fine on my own. All you need to do is to send Nat home!”

“Okay,” Zachary replied after giving it some thought. “Please be careful on your way. I’ll let Nat know.”

As soon as he hung up the phone, he turned to Natasha. “Well, Old Mr. Watson said he’s making a trip to the supermarket and wants me to send you home first.”

Once again, Natasha remained silent as she put on her seatbelt.

“Let’s go then. We don’t want to waste Grandpa’s efforts, do we?”

That, without a doubt, had neatly encapsulated Terence’s motives.

A smile tugged at Zachary’s lips. “By the way, Old Mr. Watson also told me to stay for lunch,” he added, peering at Natasha as though he was seeking her approval.

Natasha closed her eyes. “Looks like you’re in luck. Grandpa is seldom this hospitable!”

Zachary’s smile grew wider, unable to hide the joy bursting in him.

Feeling like he had won the Watsons’ approval, he promptly started the car and sped off.

Along the way, Zachary couldn’t help but steal glances at Natasha in the passenger seat. Even though she was injured and devoid of makeup, she still looked incredibly fresh and gorgeous.

Her beauty was like a gift of nature, bestowing her with a magnetic charm that drew people in.

After pondering for a moment, Zachary looked at her again.
