You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 356

Anthony explained, "That's because I've never wanted to acknowledge him."

"What about Benjamin?"

"Benjamin values our family the most among the three of us," came Anthony's answer.

Sometimes, acting awkward showed how important the person was to him.

That was why Anthony did his best to create opportunities for Benjamin to spend some time alone with Kenneth.

He knew Benjamin wanted to acknowledge Kenneth but still hadn't convinced himself entirely.

Thalia nodded in agreement. "Yes. Benjamin likes to keep a low profile and rarely expresses his thoughts, but it is obvious that he values his family and considers the bigger picture."

Anthony's brow raised smugly. "We each have our own advantages, right?"

Thalia glanced at him disdainfully. "Can you stop being vain for once?"

Anthony chuckled. "Is it that hard to acknowledge someone else's ability?"

Thalia rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Denise glared at them. "How come you're still in the mood to argue? Didn't you realize that Daddy was acting weirdly? It seemed as if he knows something." Denise was feeling conflicted over that realization. Both Thalia and Anthony answered in unison, "Yeah, I realized it."

Subsequently, they threw each other a glare and proceeded to ignore each other.

Anthony said, "We were out of reach at the same time today, so Daddy must have his suspicions. However, he cannot prove his suspicion, so it should be fine if we insist nothing is wrong."

Thalia assured her, "Don't worry. Your daddy has always suspected me, so he won't suspect you."

"Yeah. We have someone to take the blame for us. There's no need to worry!" Anthony chimed in.

At the sight of a scowl creeping up Thalia's face, Denise burst out in laughter. She gave Thalia a comforting pat. "Don't be mad. You know how Tony is. You're not the only victim." "I must've been a criminal in my past life!" Thalia balled her fists furiously.

Anthony nodded in agreement. Flashing a smile, he said, "You're meant to atone for your crimes this lifetime."

Before the girls could say anything, he raised his brow and marched toward the manor.

As Thalia fought back the urge to roll her sleeves up and fight with him, Denise immediately calmed her down. "Calm down, calm down. We're no match for his sharp tongue."

"I shall defeat him physically, then!"

Thalia squinted her eyes menacingly at Anthony's retreating back.

Denise didn't bother mincing her words. "That's useless. He'll say 'An unequal contest brings no honor to the victor.""

"I don't care. I want to teach him a lesson!" Thalia was fuming after Anthony took a jab at her for the whole day. She wanted nothing more than to give him a beating.

"I have a way to make him plead for mercy," Denise offered as her eyes twinkled merrily.

Thalia remained doubtful. "Plead for mercy? Are you sure?"

She couldn't imagine what it was like to see Anthony pleading for mercy. He might be a child, but it was impossible for him to apologize, let alone plead for mercy.

Denise said, "We were in Mommy's stomach together. I know his weakness like the back of my hand."

That sounded reasonable, so Thalia asked, "What is his weakness?"

Denise faltered. "I can tell you his weakness, but you have to promise me a few things."

"What are they?"

"I haven't thought of anything yet. I'll let you know later. Just three things."

Thalia's brows snapped together. "Are you asking for something in exchange?"

"Hey, I'm betraying him by telling you his weakness. Even if you didn't tell him that it was me, he'll soon realize who spilled his secret. It isn't much to ask for something in return, right?" Denise retorted. Thalia felt like Denise was using the cutest face to carry out the most vicious matter.

Why did I cave in under her adorable looks back then?

Thalia blurted out, "You and your brothers are really good at doing business, huh?"

"Hey, you won't lose anything. Trust me, Thalia!" Denise told her.

Thalia pondered over the matter. "Sure, but I will only do things within my capability. Besides, I won't do anything that goes against my principles."

They were kids, but Thalia knew they were smarter than their peers. She couldn't treat them as ordinary kids and had to state the terms and conditions before agreeing to the deal.

Denise beamed and raised her hand. "Deal!"

Thalia gave her a high five and mumbled, "At least Benjamin is more honest."

Denise's lips curled. "Hopefully, Ben won't disappoint you."

Thalia shot her a look. "Quick, tell me what Anthony's weakness is."

Denise beckoned for her to get closer, and Thalia bent down as requested.

Denise then whispered something in her ear.

Thalia raised her brow. "That's it?"

Denise nodded. "Yeah!"

"Hmm. Why does it feel like I've gotten the short end of the deal?"

"Trust me. This works every time. It will never change. It is definitely worth it. Now that you have this piece of information, you'll be able to defeat Tony in the future!" Denise assured.

"If it works, then why don't you use it on him? You always lose to his sharp tongue," Thalia stated her doubt.

"That's because he knows my weakness, too!"

Something glinted across Thalia's eyes. "What is your weakness?"

"Are you trying to fish for information?" Denise retorted.

"I was just curious."

"Then we have to make another deal!" Having said that, Denise turned and headed into the manor.

"How much? I'll pay for it!" It was worth it to pay to know their

weaknesses.

Without turning back, Denise yelled, "It's priceless. You can't afford to buy it!"

Thalia chuckled as she watched the little girl leave.

Oh, how dramatic of them. My life isn't as boring with them around.

She then went after the little girl.

I need to try this trick out.

In the manor, Kenneth was seated in the living room. There was a medical kit beside him.

Benjamin was hesitating. "Should I ask Dan to get a doctor? I'm not good at this."

"It's too late. We shouldn't disturb others this late at night. Just do your best," Kenneth told him.

Benjamin had no choice but to proceed, for it was indeed late at night.

Thus, he trudged over to Benjamin and took a seat beside him.

Opening the medical kit, he took out the iodine solution, cotton swab, and a bandage as though he was used to doing this. Kenneth frowned upon realizing that.

After dabbing the cotton swab with the iodine solution, Benjamin started disinfecting Kenneth's wound.

His movement was soft as though he was afraid of hurting Kenneth.

As Kenneth watched Benjamin do it, he couldn't help but ask, "Benjamin, you seem familiar with this."
