You're Out Daddy

Chapter 586

As the sun began to illuminate the dark skies, the horizon turned a lighter shade of blue.

Staring in the direction that the helicopter left, Natasha asked in a serious tone, “How much time does Dave need for a round trip, Kenneth?”

Kenneth glanced at the time. “He needs at least three hours. If there's a delay, he may take longer,” he replied.

However, they had been talking to each other for three to four hours last night.

“What is the time now?” Natasha asked.

“Five o'clock.”

A hint of worry flashed across Natasha's eyes as she stared into the distance.

Sensing that she was worried, Kenneth said, “Don't worry. Dave will send me a signal if there's any problem. Since he hasn't, it must be just a delay in time.”

Turning around, Natasha saw the watch that Kenneth was wearing and finally realized why he was looking at it constantly.

No wonder.

Nevertheless, she felt comforted by his words.

The two of them continued waiting.

As time passed, there was no sign of them coming back nor a signal sent from them.

Noticing that Natasha looked tired, Kenneth asked, “Why don't you go back to your room and rest? I'll let you know once they come back!”

Natasha nodded after hesitating for a while. “All right. I'll go in first.”

As she stood up, Kenneth looked at her with tenderness and affection. “All right.”

Natasha turned around and walked away without another word.

In her room, Natasha did not sleep right away. After making a phone call, she made two cups of coffee and went downstairs again.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was still waiting for Dave's call outside.

He dialed Dave's number with his phone, but it was not picked up.

Just as he was pacing nervously, Natasha reappeared.

“Kenneth.”

As Kenneth turned around, Natasha handed him a cup of coffee.

Gazing into her eyes, Kenneth tucked his phone away swiftly. “Why aren't you resting?” he asked.

Natasha took her seat beside him again and wrapped her neck with a scarf. “I can't fall asleep, so here I am again.”

Kenneth's eyes were filled with adoration as he stared at her.

“Did you reach him?” Natasha asked.

She seemed to be able to capture his every move.

“No,” Kenneth replied.

“It's okay. I have canceled our flight. We'll leave after they get back safely,” Natasha said.

Kenneth looked at her calmly.

“Drink some coffee. It'll invigorate and warm you,” Natasha said to Kenneth sweetly.

Smiling back, Kenneth sipped his coffee gracefully.

“What did Grandpa say?” Kenneth asked as he drank his coffee.

“Grandpa won't be too worried as long as he's sure that I'm fine. I'll return sooner or later,” Natasha replied.

Feeling reassured, Kenneth nodded.

“Thank you, Nat.”

“Spencer is my friend. Why are you thanking me when your friend is risking his life to save my friend?” Natasha asked rhetorically.

Smiling, Kenneth said, “That's not what I meant. I'm thanking you for being by my side.”

Natasha beamed as she looked at Kenneth. As she sipped her coffee slowly, her long flowing hair shone under the morning sun as she looked at the horizon where the sun rose.

However, they were still no news after the sun had fully risen.

Meanwhile, the three kids took a while to find Kenneth and Natasha after waking up.

“Daddy, Nat, what are you both doing here?” Anthony asked.

“We're watching the sunrise?” Natasha raised an eyebrow.

“Sunrise?” The three kids turned to look at the horizon, which had been brightened up by the rising sun.

“You're watching a sunrise here? What can you see from here? Shouldn't you watch it from the top of a mountain?” Benjamin asked.

Denise retorted, “What do you know? It doesn't matter what we look at. It's who you watch it with that matters.”

Surprisingly, Benjamin nodded in agreement.

As Denise looked around her, she noticed the disappearance of the helicopter, which was previously parked on the lawn.

As she wondered about it, she asked, “Daddy, Nat, when are we leaving for the airport?”

“We're not leaving today,” Natasha replied.

“We're not? Why?” Denise frowned.

Natasha's eyes darted from side to side. “I'll explain to you in two days!”

Puzzled, Denise muttered, “Okay. People always say that women are fickle. It seems like it's true.”

“Where is Mr. Dave?” Antony asked.

When Kenneth didn't reply, Benjamin felt that something was off and looked at him.

Kenneth finally spoke after a while. “Mr. Dave has something to handle. He'll be back soon.”

“Don't tell me you have waited here for the whole night?” Anthony asked.

When Natasha and Kenneth did not deny it, the three kids immediately sensed that things were far more complicated than what Kenneth told them.

After exchanging glances among themselves, Benjamin said, “Daddy, Nat, let's go in and eat something. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to talk to Mr. Dave once he comes back.”
