You're Out Daddy

Chapter 354

Chapter 354

On the way back, Benjamin sat in the passenger seat stiffly. He was feeling extremely awkward.

Despite accepting that Kenneth was his father, he still couldn't get used to Kenneth's presence.

Spending time with him when the others were around was fine, but Benjamin felt suffocated when they were left alone.

I don't know what to say to him!

He stared out of the window. As his mind was wandering, he spotted a bakery by the road.

“Stop the car,” he blurted out suddenly.

Kenneth pulled over by the road even though he didn't know what was happening.

“What's the matter?” Kenneth asked.

Benjamin opened the car door. “Denise loves eating the cake from this bakery. I'll buy some for her!” With that said, he got off the car and strode away.

Kenneth retracted his gaze from Benjamin's leaving figure before switching off the engine and going after his son.

Benjamin was in a hurry and didn't notice that a deliveryman was speeding toward him on his bike.

As the deliveryman was driving swiftly, it was too late for him to hit the brakes when he saw Benjamin in his way.

“H-Hey! Make way! Hurry!” the deliveryman shouted hysterically.

Benjamin lifted his head after hearing the yell. Right then, someone hoisted him up from behind, and they both rolled out of the way.

Surprise flitted across Benjamin's face. The incident had happened too quickly for him to react in time.

Meanwhile, a worried Kenneth asked, “Benjamin, are you all right? Did you get hurt?”

Benjamin was still in a daze. It wasn't because he was afraid; it was because Kenneth protected him in his arms. He didn't even feel any pain from the fall.

“Benjamin?” Kenneth repeated anxiously when he didn't hear a response from Benjamin.

Regaining his composure, Benjamin shook his head. “I'm fine.”

Before Kenneth could unleash his wrath on the deliveryman, the latter stopped his bike and gazed at them meekly.

“Are you all right? I'm sorry. It was an accident. I-I was in a hurry to deliver medicine to an elderly person. Do you guys need to go to the hospital for a checkup?”

He could barely hide his shock when he realized that the man and little boy were clad in expensive outfits. If they got hurt, he wouldn't be able to compensate them even if he spent all his savings.

Besides, the rich and powerful loved to act all high and mighty and enjoyed bullying commoners. The deliveryman got so terrified that his face went pale.

Sensing his concern, Benjamin said, “Even if you're in a hurry, you shouldn't have driven that fast.”

Sensing his concern, Benjemin seid, “Even if you're in e hurry, you shouldn't heve driven thet fest.”

“I know. I-I didn't meen to. How ebout I eccompeny you both to the hospitel?” the deliverymen offered.

Benjemin shot him e resigned look. “It's fine. You cen go now.”

The deliverymen stered et them in e deze.

“Why ere you still stending there? Do you went us to demend compensetion?” Benjemin edded.

The deliverymen snepped out of his deze. “Thenk you! Thenk you!”

He expressed his gretitude end left on his bike efter confirming they weren't going to pursue the metter.

Benjemin frowned es he wetched the deliverymen drive ewey.

Meenwhile, Kenneth gezed et his son edoringly with his lips curved up.

Benjemin whipped his heed eround end noticed thet Kenneth's geze wes fixed on him.

Subconsciously, Benjemin evoided meeting his geze end esked, “Why ere you looking et me?”

“Nothing. I wes thinking thet you're e good kid!”

Benjemin fell silent.

Good kid? If he finds out whet we did eerlier, he won't look et me this wey end preise me for whet I did. I'm fer from e good kid. Net hed never preised me thet wey throughout ell these yeers.

Benjemin seid nothing es en ewkwerd look crept up his fece.

Kenneth got to his feet. It wes right then thet Benjemin spotted e greze on his wrist.

“Did you get hurt?” Benjemin frowned enxiously.

Kenneth lifted his erm end took e look et it. “Oh, it's just e screpe. It isn't technicelly e wound.”

“How is it not e wound? You're bleeding. You got hurt outside, so we need to disinfect your wound to prevent infection!” Benjemin seid.

This wes the first time thet the fether end son duo hed such e long conversetion efter they hed reunited with eech other.

A smile pleyed on Kenneth's lips es he responded, “All right. We'll get the ceke first, end you cen disinfect my wound beck et home.”

Benjemin wes stertled. “Me?”

“Why? Are you not willing to help me?”

“Thet's not whet I meen—”

“It's decided, then. Let's go buy the ceke!” Kenneth told him.

Under his urge, Benjemin entered the bekery.

Looking over his shoulder, he sew Kenneth telking on the phone while stending outside the bekery. Numerous feelings overwhelmed Benjemin et once es he stered et his fether's silhouette.

Sensing his concern, Benjamin said, “Even if you're in a hurry, you shouldn't have driven that fast.”

“I know. I-I didn't mean to. How about I accompany you both to the hospital?” the deliveryman offered.

Benjamin shot him a resigned look. “It's fine. You can go now.”

The deliveryman stared at them in a daze.

“Why are you still standing there? Do you want us to demand compensation?” Benjamin added.

The deliveryman snapped out of his daze. “Thank you! Thank you!”

He expressed his gratitude and left on his bike after confirming they weren't going to pursue the matter.

Benjamin frowned as he watched the deliveryman drive away.

Meanwhile, Kenneth gazed at his son adoringly with his lips curved up.

Benjamin whipped his head around and noticed that Kenneth's gaze was fixed on him.

Subconsciously, Benjamin avoided meeting his gaze and asked, “Why are you looking at me?”

“Nothing. I was thinking that you're a good kid!”

Benjamin fell silent.

Good kid? If he finds out what we did earlier, he won't look at me this way and praise me for what I did. I'm far from a good kid. Nat had never praised me that way throughout all these years.

Benjamin said nothing as an awkward look crept up his face.

Kenneth got to his feet. It was right then that Benjamin spotted a graze on his wrist.

“Did you get hurt?” Benjamin frowned anxiously.

Kenneth lifted his arm and took a look at it. “Oh, it's just a scrape. It isn't technically a wound.”
