You're Out Daddy

Chapter 673

Kenneth stepped outside to make a phone call.

Natasha was still busy at the computer when he returned, but the look on her face had softened significantly.

She waved at him when she saw him.

“How is it, Kenneth?” Natasha asked as he made his way over.

“I've contacted them. Everything is in order.”

“When do we start?”

“They need pictures or videos of her walking before they can determine anything.”

“I think Dave has surveillance cameras here. She spent quite some time here, so we should have footage of her,” Natasha said after giving it some thought.

“All right. Send them to me if you find any. I'll have them process the footage,” Kenneth replied.

Natasha nodded and got back to work.

“Nat,” Kenneth called out to her all of a sudden.

“Yes?” Natasha said without even looking up.

“Am I overthinking it?” Kenneth asked.

“What is it?” Natasha's response was a little half-hearted because she was multi-tasking.

Kenneth frowned as he pulled her chair back and forced her to look at him.

Having been caught off guard, Natasha stared at him in confusion and asked, “What's wrong?”

Kenneth took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Nat, can you not look at me with that expression?”

“What kind of expression should I have when I look at you, then?”

Kenneth pursed his lips. “Can you at least care a little more about me? I don't even mind if it's just an act.”

Noticing that she was still confused, Kenneth continued, “Did you not hear what Benjamin said?”

Natasha gave it some thought and asked, “Are you referring to Alexia sending you home?”

Kenneth nodded in response.

“W-What about it?” Natasha was still unsure of what he was playing at.

“What about it? Another woman sent your man home! Shouldn't you be angry and jealous or something?” Kenneth exclaimed in disbelief.

“Is that what you like?” Natasha asked.

“That's not the point. Shouldn't you be reacting that way if you care about me?”

“So, you're saying I don't care about you if I don't get mad and jealous?”

Kenneth fell speechless when he heard that question.

“Since when did you become so childish, Kenneth?”

Natasha rolled her eyes and was about to get back to work, but Kenneth maintained his grip on her chair.

Natasha rolled her eyes and was about to get back to work, but Kenneth maintained his grip on her chair.

“Kenneth...”

“How do you show someone that you care about them?” Kenneth asked.

“By trusting them,” Natasha replied without any hesitation.

Kenneth fell silent immediately after hearing that.

Natasha looked him in the eye as she continued, “I show someone I care about them by trusting them not to betray me.”

The look of anger in Kenneth's eyes was replaced with a conflicted one as he stared at her. While he wasn't expecting such an answer from Natasha, her reply had left him completely speechless because it made perfect sense.

Yeah, she's right. This is the Natasha I know. Unlike other women, who throw tantrums and get all emotional, she is direct and straightforward. Sure, Natasha may be a little carefree at times, but she doesn't mess around when it comes to relationships. I was attracted to her because of that, so why am I getting all worked up over such minor issues?

The look in his eyes grew gentle at the thought of that, and his lips curled into a faint smile. “Is that so?”

“What? Do you like other women now? You don't like me anymore? Is that it?” Natasha asked.

“Why would you say that, Nat?”

“Because you keep questioning me.”

“I'm not questioning you. I just want your attention, Nat. I'm really happy with what you said just now.”

“That's all it took to make you happy?”

Kenneth nodded. “Yup! Aren't I easy to please?”

Natasha nodded slightly. “You're all right, I guess.”

Kenneth leaned in close to build up sexual tension between them. “Since it's that easy to please me, could you maybe say a little more?”

“You want to hear more?” Natasha asked.

Kenneth nodded in response.

Natasha placed two fingers on his chest and shoved him off. “I'll tell you more when I'm done working here.”

The corner of Kenneth's lips twitched slightly.

She's incredibly cold when she's serious, and yet her affectionate side makes her irresistible!

As he understood Natasha's feelings, he decided not to disturb her any further and simply gave her a kiss on the forehead. “All right. I'll wait till you're done with your work, then,” he said, then got up and walked off.

Natasha's lips curled into a gentle smile as she watched him leave. After taking a moment to recollect her thoughts, she shifted her gaze back toward the computer screen and continued working.

She understood all too well how much pain that poison could cause, so she had to find Thalia as quickly as possible.

You'd better be all right, Thalia!

After brushing their teeth in their respective rooms, Benjamin and Anthony went looking for Natasha as they needed to tell her something.

To their surprise, they bumped into Denise outside their bedroom door.
