You're Out Daddy

Chapter 372

Kenneth whipped his head around to look at the girl, but before he could get the chance to say anything, she continued, “You're going to look for Nat, right?”

Benjamin came over too, and his gaze landed on Kenneth and Anthony. However, unlike Denise, he said nothing as he sat down.

Looking at Denise, Kenneth nodded. “Yes.”

“Daddy, are you worried about Nat?” Denise, too, sat back down on her seat beside Kenneth.

Kenneth inclined his head again. “That's right. Nat's so pretty, so how can I not worry about her?”

“Daddy, you're too aware of that now!” Denise exclaimed happily. “But don't worry, Daddy. Nat's a little dense about feelings, and even though there are plenty of people courting her, they'll be discouraged by Nat's icy demeanor and overwhelming presence.”

“Oh, is that so?” Kenneth raised a brow.

“Yes!”

“It sounds like many people used to court Nat.”

After a pause, Denise beamed and said, “It's nothing strange for Nat to have many suitors given how beautiful she is, right?”

Kenneth nodded, unsurprised. “Indeed. That's why I have to keep a closer eye on your Nat. What if she's suddenly enlightened by this one day?”

Denise giggled and bobbed her head. “Well then, Daddy, you'll have to work hard. I believe in you!”

“Thank you.”

“So, Daddy, when are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow night.”

“When will you be coming back?”

“I'm not sure yet because there are some things I need to deal with, but don't worry. I'll surely come back with Nat.”

Denise took his words as they were and nodded. “Okay. I'll wait for Nat to come back before coming to this place again. I'm sure she'll love this place!”

Kenneth inclined his head. “Okay.”

After eating a little more of her food, Denise said, “I'm going to use the restroom.” Then she stood up and went off.

Kenneth watched her leave. At that precise moment, his phone rang, and he fished it out. After taking a glance at the screen, he went to the side to take the call.

Anthony was silent the entire time.

“How was the talk?” Benjamin whispered to his brother.

Anthony turned to him.

“What's wrong? Are you thinking of hiding this from me? If I hadn't brought Denise away, would you have had the chance to talk to him?” Benjamin questioned.

Anthony lowered his eyes to mull over it. “Nat isn't on a business trip.”

Anthony lowered his eyes to mull over it. “Nat isn't on a business trip.”

Benjamin stared at Anthony intently. “Then where did she go?”

Anthony shook his head. “I don't know, but if my guess is right, she must have gone to find out the real reason Granddad died. She must have found out about something, so she made her move.”

Benjamin had guessed as much. He did not look surprised to hear that at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with worry.

“You're right. There's nothing else that will make Nat disregard everything and leave us behind for it,” Benjamin agreed.

“I was wondering a while ago why Nat suddenly agreed for us to move. I'm guessing that she has already made up her mind about this a long time ago.”

When Benjamin heard that, a thought popped into his head. He turned to Anthony and muttered, “Why does it seem that Nat has entrusted us and Gramps to Daddy?”

The two boys shared a worried look with each other at that.

Just then, Kenneth walked over, done with his call.

Without missing a beat, Benjamin asked, “Is it about Nat?”

Kenneth's eyes darted between the two boys after he noticed Benjamin's worried look. “No.”

His answer only made Benjamin look even more worried.

Kenneth sat down and fell into a period of thoughtful silence. Finally, he said, “I know that you're worried, but trust me. I'll surely bring her back safely.” Then, looking into their eyes, he uttered, “I swear.”

There was nothing else Benjamin and Anthony could say, so they only nodded.

Denise returned not long after. When the three of them saw her, they chose to make it seem as if nothing had happened.

“Daddy, what were you talking about?”

“Nothing. We were just chatting. Denise, when will you be going back to join the film crew?”

“I should have gone back yesterday, but I took a day's leave. Since they're not filming my parts today, I'll be going back tomorrow,” Denise answered.

Kenneth nodded in response. “Do you have Fabian's contact details?”

“Yes. I have his WhatsApp.”

Kenneth took out his phone and gave Denise Fabian's number. “Okay. If anything crops up while I'm not around, call him. He'll help you deal with it.”

Denise bobbed her head obediently. “I got it, Daddy.”

“Don't hide anything if anyone in the film crew bullies you. Just tell Fabian about it, okay? Don't let yourself be sad.”

Denise smiled as she listened to Kenneth's reminders. “Daddy, everyone in the film crew knows that I'm your darling. No one will dare to be mean to me. In fact, they're treating me like an actual princess. You have no idea how courteous they are when they talk to me. I feel so strange!”

Kenneth nodded approvingly. “In that case, I'll be at ease.”

“Don't worry. Your dear darling isn't an easy target. I only got taken advantage of the last time because I was too trusting. It won't happen again,” the girl reassured him.

Kenneth nodded.

He then turned around to say to Anthony and Benjamin, “The two of you too. Go to Fabian if you need anything. He'll settle them all for you.”

The two boys nodded thoughtfully.

“Also, take care of Great-grandpa and Gramps. Remember to remind them to take their medicine,” Kenneth added.

The more Anthony listened to him, the more he felt that their father was telling them their last words.

“Taking care of them is your responsibility. If you want them to be cared for, you and Nat can do it yourself. I won't take responsibility for this,” Anthony uttered.

Kenneth knew what the boy meant.

However, before he could say anything, Denise frowned. “Tony, what's the matter with you? How can you talk to Daddy like this?”

Anthony only took a deep breath and looked elsewhere. His worry was spilling out of him.

Seemingly sensing that Anthony was in a bad mood, Denise turned to Benjamin and asked, “What's wrong with Tony?”

Benjamin forced a smile. “Nothing. Maybe he's missing Nat.”

“He should call Nat if he misses her.” With that, Denise took out her phone, about to call Natasha.
