You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 576

After they returned, Anthony and Benjamin were silent for a long time when Natasha announced that she was returning home. Although they knew this day would come sooner or later, they felt it was too soon.

"Nat, are you not going to stay here for a few more days?" Anthony queried Natasha after much deliberation.

Natasha responded, "Yes. My grandfather will be worried if I stay any longer."

Anthony pondered for a long moment. "Nat, what about us?"

Natasha kept mum as she looked at them.

Anthony continued, "Nat, we have thought about it. Benjamin and I will return to Darknetz with Thalia and undergo training there." Natasha knew about that matter for a while, but she had put it on the back burner since she was so focused on returning home.

Now that Anthony brought up this matter, she finally remembered this.

Natasha queried, "Have you thought it through?"

Anthony and Benjamin nodded fervently.

After giving it some thought, she said, "Okay, I understand."

"Nat, you are agreeing to this without much consideration," Anthony stated.

"I've been thinking about it and preparing for this day since I learned about your involvement with Darknetz. Since you have made up your mind, I'll respect your decisions," Natasha replied as she studied them "Nat..." Anthony's eyes reddened. He was the most mature of the three children, but he was the first to become emotional at that moment.

Furthermore, Anthony was no longer someone who kept his emotions to himself all the time. He had been attempting to express himself more effectively.

He walked over and buried his head into Natasha's arms. "Nat, I'm regretting this decision suddenly. I can't bear to separate from you..."

Upon hearing that, Natasha grinned. "Then, why don't you stay by my side forever? When you grow up, I'll help you replace a wife. What do you think?" Anthony raised his head and muttered begrudgingly. "Nat, can you not ruin the atmosphere?"

Natasha smiled. She raised her hand to gesture at Benjamin to come over.

With Anthony and Benjamin standing in front of Natasha, she stated, "I must admit I never imagined that you two would join Darknetz at such a young age. Deep down, I wish for you guys to live normal lives. Then, I won't need to be so worried about you guys. However, I'm aware that each of you is a brilliant individual with your ambitions and views, nevertheless. So long as you act with integrity, I'll support you regardless of what you do."

The two nodded, as they listened to her.

"Also, don't worry about our parting or even me. Simply put, you guys are leaving me earlier than expected. Don't worry. I will not feel bored while you guys aren't here. You don't have to worry about me because I still have to work, take care of Gramps, and go dating," Natasha articulated each word calmly.

Natasha really had the ability to comfort others.

Although she had an ineloquent nature and had trouble expressing herself, she never stopped herself from doing so when educating her children. Her words struck a chord with them and successfully put them to ease.

Anthony and Benjamin felt a lot better, hearing her words. Their concerns had been assuaged.

"We understand, Nat," Anthony said.

Natasha stared at them and beamed warmly.

At that moment, Denise harrumphed.

Hearing the commotion, the three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw Denise pouting.

"What's the matter?" Natasha asked.

"Nat, you are hugging Ben and Tony because they are leaving. I'm still by your side, but you don't care about me anymore." Denise was jealous. Everyone laughed upon hearing that.

"Also, Tony and Ben only think about you when they are leaving. They didn't even think about me. I'm merely an extra in this family-"

Before she could finish her words, Benjamin walked over to her and carried her to Natasha, hugging her.

"Is this enough?" Benjamin inquired.

"No, there's still Nat and Tony!" Denise replied.

Therefore, Anthony and Natasha extended their hands and hugged her.

"Hehe!" Denise's lips curled into an impish grin.

"Tony, Ben, don't worry. I'll take good care of Nat," she said sweetly.

"You have to take care of yourself too. Tell me if anyone bullies you. I'll punish him for you!" Anthony promised.

Denise pondered for a while. "Although I'm not as clever or talented as you guys, I'm not a pushover!"

Anthony and Benjamin observed Denise's smug demeanor. "I guess you're right. Those who cause trouble to you might meet their demise instead." Denise grinned. "That's true."

Anthony reached out to pat her head.

The interaction between the three children was very endearing, so Natasha could not help but grin as she listened to them.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and Kenneth entered the room.

Kenneth's expression softened as he saw them talking and laughing. He walked over. "What are you guys talking about?"

When Natasha saw it was Kenneth, she instinctively glanced at Anthony and Benjamin.

They exchanged glances and communicated non-verbally.

"Did you tell your father?" Natasha asked with her gaze.

Anthony was stunned for a moment before shaking his head to express he had not.

Natasha narrowed her eyes as if saying, "Then, what are you going to do now?"

Following that, Anthony turned to look at Benjamin. Benjamin immediately shook his head to state, "Don't look at me. I don't dare to say it!"

Anthony gestured with his eyes to probe Benjamin, "Daddy dotes on you the most. You go and tell him.”

"You already used that excuse back in the uninhabited zone. This time, it's your turn." Benjamin gestured back. I'm not going to be fooled this time.

"I-I really can't do it." Anthony was troubled.

Therefore, their gazes turned to Natasha.

Natasha immediately shrugged, stating, "You guys need to deal with this yourselves."

Anthony and Benjamin were rendered speechless.

Looking at their expressions, Kenneth seemed to have noticed something and asked, "How is it? Are you guys done?"

The three of them immediately retracted their gazes.

Kenneth's gaze hardened as he said in a low tone, "Go ahead. What are you guys planning to do?"

Anthony and Benjamin kept silent.

They racked their minds, trying to think of a better way to tell him.

Denise's gaze roamed over Anthony and Benjamin. She noticed their hesitation and remarked, "Anthony and Benjamin decided to undergo training at Darknetz." Upon hearing what she said, there was pin-drop silence.
