You're Out Daddy

Chapter 923 What Was The Argument About

Once again, Benjamin left Anthony's room in a huff. This time, however, he bumped into Denise, who had just appeared at the doorway, as soon as he opened the door.

Denise was puzzled when she saw Benjamin standing there. Her gaze then shifted to Anthony inside the room. She froze. “Are you guys quarreling, Ben?”

Benjamin lowered his gaze to conceal his emotions. “No!” he said. Then, he strode out, brushing past her.

Uh...

Denise furrowed her brows as she watched his resolute figure walking away. That doesn't seem like nothing.

She turned her gaze toward Anthony. “What happened between you two, Tony?”

Anthony took a deep breath and met her gaze, forcing a smile. “We're fine. What about you? Did you need something from me?”

“Nothing, exactly. I didn't see you and Ben earlier, so I came to look for you...” As she spoke, her brows knitted together, fixing him with a curious gaze. “I've never seen the two of you argue before. What caused it?”

Anthony studied her languidly. “So, you came to me for the scoop, haven't you?”

“What? No. How is this gossiping? I'm just concerned about you two!” Denise protested.

Anthony turned away. “Instead of spending time asking me, you might as well comfort Ben. It would be more effective.”

Denise shuffled closer and leaned on the door frame. “How can I comfort you if you won't tell me what's wrong, Tony?”

“Ask Ben!”

“Tony...”

Anthony turned around and placed his hand on the door. “Is there anything else? I'm going to shut the door!”

With a frown, Denise gazed at him coyly. “Tony...”

Anthony stepped forward and rapped her forehead gently. “Acting coy won't work on me. I'm not Ben. I'm closing the door if there's nothing else you want.”

Denise pouted at his snark. “Hmph!” With a toss of her head, she turned and strode off.

As he watched her receding figure, Anthony called out, “Denise!”
