You're Out Daddy

Natasha was just done freshening up herself when she saw people moving things into the house.

Just as she was starting to figure out what was happening, Terence and Liam walked in, still arguing with each other.

“Old Mr. Hamilton? What brings you here?”

Liam stopped quarreling with Terence and flashed a wide smile when he saw Natasha. “I’m here to see you and the three kiddos. Nat, why are you discharged before you’ve fully recovered?” He was concerned.

“I’m tired of staying in the hospital, and it was just superficial wounds anyway. Resting at home is the same,” Natasha replied with a smile.

“I see. Anyway, health comes first, so do set that as your priority. I’ve brought you some highly nutritious supplements. Remember to eat them.”

“Thank you, Old Mr. Hamilton, but you shouldn’t have spent that much money on me.” Natasha smiled at the pile of things Liam brought.

“You don’t have to thank him. His pockets are deep, and he’s willing to spend!” Terence interrupted before Liam could react.

“Terence, that’s not how you give a compliment,” Liam dissed.

“You can leave if you don’t like how I speak!”

“I…” That drove Liam up the wall.

“Old Mr. Hamilton, why don’t you join us for dinner?” Natasha suggested just in time, and it completely doused the rage within Liam in less than a second. “What a sweet lady you are, Nat. It’s my pleasure to accept your invitation!”

“Have dinner at your own house, Liam. I’m not going to serve you.” The thought of preparing dinner for him made Terence frown.

“Since when do I need you to serve me? I’m more than capable to help out in the kitchen!”

“Forget about it. Shoo! I’m sure you’re going to set my kitchen on fire if you helped.” Terence stopped Liam from progressing further when he saw the latter was already rolling up his sleeves.
