You're Out Daddy

Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Wring Them Dry

Natasha returned relatively early. Terence and the triplets were not yet home when she arrived.

They only showed up after she had washed up and was getting ready for bed.

Denise threw herself into her arms as soon as they entered the door. “Did you miss me today, Nat?”

Natasha glanced down at Denise’s forehead. Though there were no scars or signs of injury, it still stung Natasha to recall the incident.

Natasha nodded. “Eh, just a little.”

“Which is it? Did you miss me or not?”

“I did!”

Denise smiled with satisfaction. “Great-grandpa took us to Infinitium for lunch today, Nat. The food there isn’t bad. I’ll take you there another time, okay?”

Natasha nodded. “Okay.”

Terence was watching them. “All right, Denise. You’ve been out all day today. Look at how dusty you are! Be a good girl and go wash up.”

“Yes, Great-grandpa,” Denise replied before turning back to Natasha. “I’m going to wash up, Nat. See you later!”

“All right!”

Natasha watched the triplets stand in line for the washroom. She was then about to retire into her bedroom when Terence called, “Wait a moment, Nat.”

Natasha turned back to find her grandfather with a peculiar expression. He looked as if he wanted to say something but decided against it.

“What’s wrong, Grandpa?” Natasha asked.

Terence gazed at her thoughtfully for some time before he spoke. “How are you and Zachary doing recently?” he asked.

Natasha knew what Terence was getting at. “Nothing new,” she answered after a pause.

“I’ve been giving it some serious thought,” Terence began with some hesitation. “Sometimes, it’s better to take things slow and—”
