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

Chapter 1086 Overflowing With Maternal Love

They each returned to their rooms to freshen up and change their clothes in the suite they had booked.

When Anthony emerged, Thalia had already ordered their meal and was sitting in the living room, thoroughly enjoying her food.

Anthony glanced at her as he walked past. “How are you so fast?”

Thalia's gaze was filled with delicious food. “It's not that is fast, it's that you're slow,” she said, nonchalantly pouring herself a glass of red wine.

After taking a sip, she suddenly remembered something. Looking at Anthony, she gestured with her chin. “Here, I ordered some juice for you.”

Upon seeing that, Anthony picked up his juice and took a sip, then sat down and began to eat as well.

“How is it, the taste isn't too bad, right?” Thalia asked.

Anthony nodded nonchalantly. “Hmm, it's not bad.”

It was evident that Anthony was preoccupied, his mind not at all on his meal. Thalia glanced at him and said softly, “There's work to do, but we shouldn't neglect our meals as well.”

Regaining his composure, Anthony glanced at her. “I'm not picky on food.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia shook his head helplessly. “Alas, what a waste of resources!”

“Food is meant to fill the stomach!” Anthony enunciated each word.

“Food is meant to fill the stomach, but gourmet food is different, it's meant to satisfy the taste buds,” said Thalia.

“I'm not a food connoisseur.”

“But you must try the famous cuisine here,” Thalia said.

Anthony lowered his gaze, looking at the food they were eating now. “Is this all?”

Thalia nodded.

Anthony was just about to say something, but when he thought of Thalia who had traveled a long distance to accompany him and had now meticulously prepared food, he couldn't bear to dampen her spirits.

Thinking of this, he spoke up. “It looks good.”

Upon hearing this, Thalia began to cheer up. “Right? When it comes to food, I do have quite a bit of insight.”

Anthony glanced at her and smiled, choosing not to say anything.

“Come, try this.” Thalia gave him a piece of dessert.

Anthony wasn't particularly fond of sweets. Looking at the dessert she had shared with him, he murmured, “If Denise were here, she would probably love this.”

“Don't worry, when I return, I'll bring some for her,” Thalia said.

Anthony lifted his gaze toward her, the sincerity and sparkle in Thalia's eyes were truly captivating.

She had always been like this toward them, from the moment she met them until now.

Upon that thought, Anthony suddenly asked, “Thalia.”

“Hmm?”

“Is this how you treat everyone else?” Anthony asked.

“How so?” Thalia asked.

“Just like how you treat the three of us,” Anthony said.

Speaking of which, Thalia squinted her eyes, leisurely sizing him up. “What do you mean by asking this? Are you saying if I've been good to you, or not?”

“If it's not good, then what's the point of me asking you this?” Anthony asked indifferently.

“So, you're aware of my affection for you?” Thalia suddenly leaned in, a playful smile on her face as she looked at him.

“Indeed, if I didn't even know this, I would either be blind or a fool, and clearly, I am neither,” Anthony said.

“Well, I'm surprised to hear those words coming from you, Anthony. Quite unexpected indeed,” Thalia said.

Even though she was teasing like this, she felt quite pleased deep down. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Anthony looked at her. “So, you're not planning to answer the question I just asked?”

Speaking of which, Thalia looked up at him. “I'm not a fool, how can I possibly treat everyone like this?”

“Then you—”

“As for the three of you, firstly, it's because you are from Darknetz, and as you know, the Darknetz have always valued loyalty and friendship. Secondly...”

“What is it?”

“Secondly, I'm overflowing with maternal love,” Thalia enunciated each word.

Anthony was speechless.

Watching him fall silent, Thalia's lips curled into a smile. Although it seemed like she was joking, she was serious about it.

Since getting to know the three of them, despite the occasional bickering, Thalia seemed to have an innate inability to resist them, instinctively wanting to protect them.

As time went on, it simply became like this.

They were friends, yet they also felt like family.

It was indescribable, beyond words.

However, as for what it really was, Thalia didn't delve too deeply into it. She simply followed her heart.

The connection between people, in itself, was quite extraordinary.

Seeing that Anthony had fallen silent, Thalia raised an eyebrow. “Don't believe me?”

With a forced smile, Anthony said to her, “Let's eat.”

Thalia chuckled quietly to herself, refraining from further comment as they continued to eat.

“By the way, after we finish eating, would you like to take a stroll around?” Thalia asked.

“No, I need to get some sleep,” Anthony said.

Upon hearing that, Thalia nodded. “All right, you go to sleep. I'll take a look around.”

“Don't act rashly and alert the enemy,” Anthony warned.

“What, don't you trust me?”

“I'm worried about your safety!”

“That's more like it.” Thalia raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, then added, “Don't worry, I'll just take a look around, I won't stir up any trouble.”

Only then did Anthony nod his head.

After the meal, Anthony went straight back to his room to rest.

After a day and night on the airplane, even in first class, he hadn't managed to rest well. Now, he was in dire need of a good sleep.

Therefore, upon returning to his room, Anthony set his alarm clock and promptly fell asleep as soon as he hit the sack.

After Thalia saw him return to his room, she promptly applied makeup and headed out.

When the alarm clock rang, Anthony woke up as if from a deep slumber.

Looking outside, he noticed that it was already dark. He picked up his phone to check the time, took a deep breath, and then slowly got out of bed.

When he walked out of the room, he saw Thalia nestled on the living room sofa, making a phone call. Upon seeing him emerge, her eyebrows lifted slightly, “Finally up?”

“Yes!”

“All right, we're about to start here, I have to hang up now,” Thalia said to the person on the other end of the phone, and then promptly hung up.

Anthony gave her a look. “Spencer?”

“Who else could it be, if not him?”

“Has there been any news from Kyle recently?”

“I told him that we have arrived, so, there shouldn't be any issues in the next couple of days,” said Thalia.

Anthony nodded. “All right, understood. I'll wash my face and we can head out in a bit.”

“All right.”

And so, Anthony returned to his room once again.

After washing his face, Anthony regained clarity and then ventured out again.

When the two descended the stairs, Thalia appeared particularly spirited.

“Aren't you tired?” Anthony asked.

“Adults don't get that much sleep,” Thalia said.

“But Nat sleeps a lot,” Anthony commented.

Without turning around, Thalia replied, “Do you think Nat is just an ordinary person?”

“In that case, I'm not just an ordinary person either!”

“That's why you two are so alike!” Thalia said to him, her voice soft and mysterious.

Anthony was rendered speechless.

Uh.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with her statement.

Looking at Thalia, he wanted to say something, but he felt that what she said was right.

At that moment, Anthony seemed to still be in a state of hysteria, for the first time, he did not rebut her words.
