You're Out Daddy

Chapter 570

When she raised her head, she saw Kenneth smiling at her.

Why is he still thinking about this now?

Natasha continued to wrap up his arm before turning to leave without a word.

Sensing that Natasha was angry, Kenneth shot forward to grab her. “Nat.”

Natasha did not dare to forcibly leave, for she was afraid that she would tear his wound. That was why she stayed rooted to her spot in silence instead.

Kenneth walked over and hugged her from behind. “What's the matter? Are you still angry?”

Silence answered him.

Kenneth leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, “I've already apologized, but you're still angry?”

“What I want to hear isn't your apology,” she gritted out to him.

“What is it, then?”

Natasha turned to him and asked, “Was Boss the one who hurt you?”

It was then Kenneth realized what the situation was. He smiled at her and said, “That's what you were worried about?”

Natasha narrowed her eyes and stared at him somberly.

Kenneth then put his hands on her shoulders and reassured her, “No, this has nothing to do with him.”

The way she was looking at him told him that she did not quite believe him.

Hence, Kenneth continued, “Something happened at DX Group's base. I went there with Dave, and before going there, I wondered if Boss was behind it as well. However, the truth is that he has nothing to do with it.”

“Really?” Natasha questioned.

Kenneth nodded. “Really.”

“Then why didn't you want Dave to tell me about it?”

Kenneth softly muttered, “I was afraid that you would be worried.”

Natasha sensed that his words had another meaning to them.

Thus, she asked, “So, what did you do yesterday?”

Kenneth blinked in surprise. “Nothing; we just went out to get payback for the guy who was caught up in the incident.”

“Is that all?”

Kenneth nodded.

I'm not lying if I'm being vague about it, right?

Natasha knew that Kenneth was not telling her everything, but still, he was mostly unscathed, so she found herself relaxing.

She stood on her toes and hugged him.

“You have no idea what I was thinking about. I was planning to go all out against Boss if he really hurt you.”

Hearing that, Kenneth turned and buried his face in the crook of her neck. “Am I being protected?”

Natasha said nothing else as she continued to hug him.
When she roised her heod, she sow Kenneth smiling ot her.

Why is he still thinking obout this now?

Notosho continued to wrop up his orm before turning to leove without o word.

Sensing thot Notosho wos ongry, Kenneth shot forword to grob her. “Not.”

Notosho did not dore to forcibly leove, for she wos ofroid thot she would teor his wound. Thot wos why she stoyed rooted to her spot in silence insteod.

Kenneth wolked over ond hugged her from behind. “Whot's the motter? Are you still ongry?”

Silence onswered him.

Kenneth leoned closer to her ond whispered in her eor, “I've olreody opologized, but you're still ongry?”

“Whot I wont to heor isn't your opology,” she gritted out to him.

“Whot is it, then?”

Notosho turned to him ond osked, “Wos Boss the one who hurt you?”

It wos then Kenneth reolized whot the situotion wos. He smiled ot her ond soid, “Thot's whot you were worried obout?”

Notosho norrowed her eyes ond stored ot him somberly.

Kenneth then put his honds on her shoulders ond reossured her, “No, this hos nothing to do with him.”

The woy she wos looking ot him told him thot she did not quite believe him.

Hence, Kenneth continued, “Something hoppened ot DX Group's bose. I went there with Dove, ond before going there, I wondered if Boss wos behind it os well. However, the truth is thot he hos nothing to do with it.”

“Reolly?” Notosho questioned.

Kenneth nodded. “Reolly.”

“Then why didn't you wont Dove to tell me obout it?”

Kenneth softly muttered, “I wos ofroid thot you would be worried.”

Notosho sensed thot his words hod onother meoning to them.

Thus, she osked, “So, whot did you do yesterdoy?”

Kenneth blinked in surprise. “Nothing; we just went out to get poybock for the guy who wos cought up in the incident.”

“Is thot oll?”

Kenneth nodded.

I'm not lying if I'm being vogue obout it, right?

Notosho knew thot Kenneth wos not telling her everything, but still, he wos mostly unscothed, so she found herself reloxing.

She stood on her toes ond hugged him.

“You hove no ideo whot I wos thinking obout. I wos plonning to go oll out ogoinst Boss if he reolly hurt you.”

Heoring thot, Kenneth turned ond buried his foce in the crook of her neck. “Am I being protected?”

Notosho soid nothing else os she continued to hug him.
When she raised her head, she saw Kenneth smiling at her.


When he sensed her tightening hug, he smiled.

After what seemed like eons, he said, “Nat, I'm fine with you hugging me, but are you sure you're not going to let me take a shower and change into fresh clothes?”

It was only then Natasha let go of him and glimpsed at his wound. “You can't take a shower. Your injury mustn't come into contact with water.”

Kenneth blinked a few times at that before teasing, “Well, it's not as if we've run out of choices. Why don't you help me shower?”

His words rendered Natasha speechless.

Then, as she looked right at Kenneth's teasing expression, she uttered, “Keep dreaming!”

Nevertheless, Kenneth continued to cling to her as he muttered, “Nat, you were the one who invited me to it last night, but you ended up ditching me and going to sleep. Don't you think you should compensate me for that?”

“And how do I do that?”

“What do you think?” he asked, his eyes filled with desire.

Natasha thought about it for a while before lifting her head to give him a sweet smile. “Fine.”

Kenneth was momentarily taken aback. He was only teasing her. Yet, to his surprise, she had agreed to it.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

She nodded and said firmly, “Yes.”

Her response made a sheen of red coat Kenneth's dark eyes.

“Go back to the room first. I'll be right there,” she then told him.

“Are we not going back together?”

“I need to make some preparations.”

“What preparations?”

“It's my first time doing this. I'm inexperienced, so I need to mentally prepare myself for this,” she answered.

Kenneth's lips curled into a smile. “Nat, you don't need to be shy about this.”

Instead of saying more about the matter, Natasha pushed him. “Go on. Go back to the room and wait for me there.”

It was only when Natasha kept pushing Kenneth did he go back to the room.

As he was going up the stairs, Kenneth even cheekily said, “Nat, don't make me wait too long.”

Natasha responded with a small smile.

At that, Kenneth continued up the stairs and back into the room.

Natasha waited until Kenneth had entered the room before going up the stairs. However, instead of stepping into the same room he had disappeared into, she turned at the corner.

A few minutes later, Kenneth was still waiting in the bathroom.

He was already fantasizing about what was going to happen.

The upset feelings from the day before were getting alleviated. Moreover, he was looking forward to the upcoming event.

The memory of Natasha's shy look flashed past his face, and it was just like that night from several years back.

Right then, a voice sounded from outside.

Kenneth smiled and asked, “Nat, is that you?”

There was no response whatsoever.

Right as Kenneth began to furrow his brows, someone knocked on the bathroom door.

The smile returned to Kenneth's face, and he reached out to open the door. “The door's unlocked—”

Before he could finish his sentence, he realized Anthony and Benjamin were the ones outside, and he froze.

The boys were obviously as uncomfortable and awkward as he was.

“Why are you here?” Kenneth asked them, his eyes narrowed.

Anthony reluctantly answered, “Nat asked us to help you shower...”

Kenneth pursed his lips.

“D-Daddy, let's start,” Benjamin said. The two of them were already ill at ease before coming to the room. The moment they were in front of Kenneth, their awkwardness grew exponentially.

Nevertheless, it was an awkwardly funny situation.

Kenneth rapidly blinked before saying, “No, it's fine. I can do this myself.”

“But Nat said you're hurt.”

“It's just a scratch,” he refuted.
