You're Out Daddy

Chapter 737 No PDA

Natasha and Dave only returned to their seats after Thalia was dragged out.

Kenneth was still as graceful as ever as if nothing had happened earlier.

When Natasha sat down beside him, Kenneth turned to her and said, “Nat, you betrayed me.”

“How so?”

“Not only did you not help me out, but you even moved away from me.”

“You're bullying a woman, and you're asking me to help you out? You might be shameless, but I'm not,” Natasha retorted.

Kenneth immediately straightened up and denied, “Who's bullying who? She's the one who provoked me, and she's the one who's trying to fight me. Am I not the victim here?”

Natasha was at a loss for words.

She turned to stare at Dave with wide eyes and questioned, “Is he this shameless in the past?”

Looking right at Kenneth, Dave nodded. “Mhm. He's even more shameless back then.”

“How did you become friends with someone like him?” Natasha asked.

Dave mulled over her question before turning to her. “I was young, so I couldn't tell right from wrong. Well, I met a bad guy.”

Natasha nodded in understanding. “I get you.”

“What about you? Was he shameless even when he was a kid?” Dave wondered.

Natasha instantly shook her head. “No, no. He still had morals and was polite with others. I wouldn't have stuck with him until now if not for that.”

Dave inclined his head to show his understanding.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes as he watched them play out the entire scene. He then moved over to them and put a hand on the back of Natasha's chair. “Are you really doing this in front of me? Do you think that... I'm an easy target?”

Natasha tilted her head to the side and made a deliberate pose of contemplation. “Are we doing that?”

“Are you not?” he responded.

Natasha then turned to Dave, who raised a brow and said, “I didn't say anything.”

“Neither did I.” Natasha shrugged.

“Not only do you think I'm an easy target, but you think I'm blind too!” Kenneth quirked his brow.

At that, Natasha quickly reached out to pat his chest. “Don't get angry, okay? You'll always be my love.”

He had to admit that her words made him feel good.

The look in his eyes relaxed, and a smile crept onto his lips. It was clear that his mood had turned better.

Hearing his silence, Natasha asked, “Are you happy with that?”

“Yup!” Kenneth nodded, satisfied.

The two of them were conversing as if there was no one else around him, and Dave cleared his throat at that.

“No PDA in the middle of the day,” he told them.

Kenneth's attention turned to him. “You said that I'm shameless earlier.”

“Kenneth, are you holding a grudge?” Dave retorted.

Kenneth picked up his coffee cup and nodded at Dave. “I've always been like this. Have you forgotten about it?” Then, he casually took a sip of his coffee, taunting Dave with his gaze.

Dave bobbed his head fervently.

Fine. I can't stand sitting here anymore.

Hence, Dave stood up and uttered, “Goodbye.”

With that, he turned to leave.

“Wait,” Kenneth blurted out.

“What else do you want?” Dave reluctantly asked.

“I want to go to the base, so let's head there together.”

It was then Dave turned around to study Kenneth. “Why do you want to go there?” Then, a thought popped into Dave's head. “Are you going there to visit Alexia?”

Right as those words were out of his mouth, he subconsciously glanced at Natasha.

Even though Natasha had her head hanging, she could sense his gaze. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she wiped her lips and said, “You don't need to worry about me. It's a fact that she has saved me. I'll be going there in a bit too.”

Kenneth promptly arched a brow at Dave smugly as if he was saying, Do you see that? The things you worry about aren't even an issue for us.

Dave seized him up in response before saying, “I wish I could give you a mirror so you can take a good look at that smug of yours.”

“Cease the nonsense. Are you going?”

“No!”

“But she's one of your men at the base,” Kenneth pointed out.

Dave parted his lips to retort, but he abruptly recalled Natasha's presence, so what came out of his mouth instead was, “So what? Everyone has the right to make friends with anyone.”

Then, he left without giving Natasha and Kenneth a chance to reply.

Kenneth kept his eyes fixed on Dave's retreating figure for a while before giving up on the topic.

“What's wrong? You don't have the courage to visit her if Dave doesn't go with you?” Natasha teased.

Kenneth caught the emphasis on the word “courage” and replied, “Me? Not having the courage?”

“What else would it be?”

He snorted. “Is there anything I wouldn't dare to do? I won't have fear even if I do something immoral.”

“Kenneth, how do you make yourself sound so righteous no matter what you say?” Natasha questioned as she studied him.

Kenneth curled his lips. “I'm telling you that there's nothing I'm scared of. The only thing I'm scared of is...” Right then, his gaze darkened as he fixed his intense gaze on her.

“What?”

Then, he put his hand on her cheek and uttered in a low, serious voice, “I'm scared that you'll leave me.”
