You're Out Daddy

Chapter 328

When Kenneth turned around and glared at Zachary, his eyes glowed with the kind of hatred that seemed as though it could consume everything.

Zachary's lips curved into a smile. It seemed the guy could tell that Kenneth was angry because the former's eyes also glowed tauntingly.

At the very next second, however, Kenneth laughed. “It seems you have paid extra attention to my matters, Mr. Lynch.”

“Oh, I wouldn't say that I paid extra attention. Your cruelty simply sent a chill down my spine,” replied Zachary.

“In that case, you should be careful not to step on my toes. If you do, I might just do something so bad that it sends a chill down every single bone in your body,” threatened Kenneth menacingly.

Those words prompted Zachary to narrow his eyes once more.

“Oh, and one more thing,” said Kenneth as he grinned mockingly. “Since you are so heartbroken for her, then may I suggest that you be her hero and save her? I will wish you both a lifetime of happiness together.”

After that, Kenneth turned around once more. He held Natasha and Denise's hands before entering the building.

Anthony and Benjamin raised their brows a little before they followed along.

Zachary was left alone in the street. As he watched everyone move away, his gaze became dark.

On the other side, Kenneth's jaw was clenched in the elevator, and the aura he exuded was extremely hostile.

Denise reached out and tugged his sleeve lightly before cautiously asking, “Daddy, are you angry?”

Kenneth quickly readjusted his stance and turned to Denise. He smiled and lied, “Not at all. I won every round, so why would I be angry?”

Denise didn't sigh a breath of relief until she heard those words. Still, when she looked at him, she couldn't help commenting, “I guess you're right. There's no reason for you to be angry since you got Mr. Zach so furious that he was all mean earlier.”

Kenneth scoffed, “He had it coming.”

Denise pouted at that moment and complained in a childish tone, “And another thing, Daddy, shouldn't you consider my wellbeing, even when you are putting on an act with my brother? I've already turned the gift down, so why must you insist on exposing my lies? It was so awkward for me!”

Kenneth grinned when he thought about that. “Sorry. I will let you know in advance the next time I do something like that.”

“No, there will not be the next time,” insisted Denise.

Kenneth couldn't help smiling at that. He was rather happy with his daughter's reaction.

Anthony turned to Kenneth and frowned a little. “So... Is what Zachary said earlier true?”

Kenneth shifted his gaze to Anthony. The former seemed to have recalled something crucial because the glow in his eyes changed when he said, “Huh? What do you mean?”

“Zachary hinted that you sent that woman away. Is that true?” asked Anthony. He found that to be rather strange.

Kenneth thought about it for a while before replying, “What do you think?”

Anthony frowned. He was about to answer that question when Kenneth grinned mischievously and offered, “Call me 'Daddy' again, and I'll tell you the truth.”

Anthony was speechless.

He blushed red when he thought about what had happened earlier.

At the time, he simply wanted to put on a show for Zachary and had uttered that word instinctively.

He never expected Kenneth to pay attention to any of that.

Kenneth's words brought everyone around and reminded them of what had happened earlier. They simultaneously looked at Anthony.

Anthony was blushing so much that his face was almost as red as an apple.

Kenneth saw that and couldn't help grinning. An inexplicable joy spread out in his heart. Seeing Zachary there was an unpleasant experience, but it was undeniable that the guy showing up had benefitted Kenneth a lot.

If nothing else, hearing Anthony calling him Daddy was more than enough to make up for the unpleasantness Zachary caused.

A few pairs of eyes were stuck on Anthony at the moment.

“Tony, are you going to start calling him Daddy, too?” asked Denise.

Anthony was about to answer when the elevator's bell rang. He turned around and ran out of the elevator as though he were fleeing.

Benjamin worried that he would be teased next, so he quickly followed along.

Denise and Kenneth turned to one another when they saw how the boys reacted. Neither could resist smiling at that.

Natasha made her way past them at that moment. When she saw how happy they were, she asked, “Aren't you celebrating just a tad too early?”

“Is this too early?” replied Kenneth.

“Yes, obviously,” answered Natasha before she exited the elevator as well.

The father-daughter duo became the only ones left in the elevator.

“Has Ben started calling you Daddy?” asked Denise as they walked out of the elevator together.

Defeated, Kenneth shook his head.

“It'll be fine. You managed to get Tony to change. Getting Ben to change will be a piece of cake compared to that,” replied Denise.

Kenneth narrowed his gaze and said, “I think you might have underestimated Ben.”

“No way. They might not say it out loud, but they've already accepted you,” declared Denise.

“Really?”

“Yeah,” replied Denise while nodding. “They told me that themselves.”

Kenneth grinned, but his gaze shone in a way that suggested that he was thinking about something else.

Just then, Denise suddenly recalled the mission entrusted to her. She turned to Kenneth and asked, “Daddy, can I ask you a question?”

“What is it?”

“When will you get back together with Mommy?”

Kenneth sighed at the mention of that. “Shouldn't you be asking your mom about that? Do I look like the one who gets to decide?”

I guess he is right about that. Denise blinked before asking, “B-But aren't the two of you already sharing a room? Why hasn't Nat taken you back?”

“It's strange, right? That Nat can be so irresponsible sometimes,” complained Kenneth before putting on an exaggerated pout.

“Nat is not an irresponsible person!” insisted Denise before she turned to Kenneth. “Daddy, did you do something to upset Nat again?”
