You're Out Daddy

Chapter 371

They arrived at a high-end restaurant on the twenty-sixth floor, and it had an open-air balcony. The environment was picturesque, and the decorations were elegant.

Most importantly, there were few people around; there were only a few tables in the restaurant, and the people by the table were all chatting and enjoying the breeze of the evening.

Just as they stepped into the restaurant, a server came over and led them toward a spot with the best view.

When they looked downward, they were greeted by the sight of half of the city.

“Daddy, this place is beautiful!” Denise exclaimed.

The night was approaching, and the colorful lights outside dotted the city like stars. It felt as if the city would never sleep, and Denise had never realized until that moment that Glenport City could be that scenic at night.

“Do you like it?” Kenneth asked.

Denise nodded. “I do! I just wonder what it'll be like in the day.”

Kenneth ruffled her hair. “Then come and take a look when it's daytime.”

“Can I?” Denise asked, her eyes wide with pleasant surprise.

“Why not?” Kenneth asked her. “You can come here any time you like. No one will take this spot.”

Denise understood what Kenneth meant, and she said, “I got it. Thank you, Daddy.”

Meanwhile, Anthony and Benjamin were sitting at the side in silence. While the night view was indeed enticing, both were too preoccupied with their thoughts to enjoy it.

Right then, the server came with menus.

Kenneth turned toward them and asked, “What would you like to eat?”

Anthony said, “I'm fine with anything.”

Benjamin also said, “Same for me too.”

Denise shook her head. “Your attitudes are the biggest act of disrespect to food.” She took the menu and briefly skimmed through it and ordered several dishes. However, after she did that, she lifted her head to look at Kenneth and asked, “Daddy, am I ordering too much?”

Kenneth gave her a loving smile. “No. You can order anything you like.”

Denise beamed, glad to have a father to dote on her. “This too. And this dessert as well. That's all.”

The server nodded. “Of course. Please give me a moment.”

With that, the server left, and the four of them stared at each other in silence.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, Benjamin started, “Denise, you shouldn't be filming; you should become an expert for delicacies instead.”

Denise said, “I don't think these are jobs exclusive from each other. I can be a delicacy expert who can act!”

Denise said, “I don't think these are jobs exclusive from each other. I can be a delicacy expert who can act!”

“Delicacy expert? More like a foodie,” Anthony retorted softly.

Denise instantly pouted at Anthony upon hearing his words. “Hmph! You're a meaning, Anthony!”

Anthony silently forced a smile on his face in response.

Denise turned to Kenneth and blinked. “Daddy, look at Anthony. He's always bullying me.”

Kenneth glanced at Anthony and studied him for a bit before saying, “Hmm, I think your brother may be right.”

“Daddy!” Denise had never thought that Kenneth would actually agree with her brother.

Kenneth reached out to pat her head. “Even if you're a foodie, Daddy will still love you. Moreover, Daddy will make you the happiest foodie in this world!”

The smile returned to Denise's face at that, and she was essentially radiating delight.

“Daddy, don't forget what you've said. I'm going to be a foodie from now on. You can't blame me if I bankrupt the family because of my food adventures!” Denise said.

Kenneth smiled again. “Of course. I'll be looking forward to it.”

Denise giggled. She turned her head to the side to look at the night view outside. “If only Nat's here. She would love it here, and she'll definitely be drinking here for a while.”

A complex look flashed past Kenneth's face.

Anthony, who was watching Kenneth, stared at him even more intensely.

When Benjamin spotted their expressions, he began to decipher what was happening.

Soon, their dishes arrived, and they dug in.

Denise was cheerful the entire time as she devoured the food. In contrast, the food tasted like wax to Anthony and Benjamin.

They both knew that Kenneth had not brought them out for just a simple meal; they knew that he certainly had something else to talk to them about.

Benjamin raised his head to look at a spot a distance away. “Will we be able to see even further there?” he asked.

Denise followed his line of sight.

“Denise, do you want to take photos?” Benjamin asked.

Denise tilted her head to the side and ruminated about it for a few seconds before shaking her head. “No.”

“Why?”

“Eating is more important!”

“You can eat and take photos at the same time.”

“How inelegant will that be?”

“If you're not going to take photos, then take one for me!” With that, Benjamin stood up and tried to tow Denise away.

Denise could not convince him otherwise and had no choice but to follow him.

Once the two of them were gone, Anthony turned to Kenneth and asked, “Nat didn't go on a business trip, did she?”

Kenneth lowered his eyes when he heard the question.

“Why would you say that?”

“Nat would tell us if she's on a business trip. It's unless she's doing something dangerous that she doesn't want us to know about,” Anthony said to Kenneth in a low voice.

Kenneth smiled. “It seems that I can't hide this from you.”

“Where did Nat go?” Anthony asked.

“I'm not sure for now. I'm still looking for her.”

“Will anything happen to Nat?”

“No,” came Kenneth's confident answer the moment Anthony asked that question. “I won't let anything happen to her. Never.”

“How would you know?”

“I've made arrangements. Soon, I'll be finding her myself. Don't worry. I'll bring her back safe and sound.”

Anthony was taken aback by his words. “You're going to find Nat?”

“Yes.”

Anthony asked, “Then do you know where Nat is?”

Kenneth lowered his head before saying slowly, “I'm not sure for now, but I have an inkling. Still, regardless of where she is, I'll find her.”

It was then Anthony figured out why Kenneth had brought them out for the meal.

“When are you going to leave?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“Take me along. I'll come with you!”

Kenneth frowned. “No.”

“Why?”

Kenneth pursed his lips and explained, “You're still a boy. I'll have to spend some of my focus on taking care of you if you come along, so you'll have to wait at home.”

“I don't need your care; I can take care of myself!”

“Anthony!”

“It's dangerous, isn't it? You're here to say goodbye to us. If I didn't know anything, you would have left without a word, just like Nat did.”

Kenneth did not know what to say to him for a while. A long moment of rumination later, he uttered, “Still, you have to wait for me at home. I'll definitely bring her back unscathed.”
