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

Chapter 854 A Discussion Of Relationships

In the car.

Miguel slept soundly as he snored away.

“It's been a while. I hope nothing has happened. I'm going in to take a look.” Thalia's gaze kept darting outside, but she could not see Benjamin and Denise anywhere. She lifted her wrist to check the time and could not help but worry. She opened the door and headed out.

Meanwhile, Anthony was looking at his phone when he heard the sound of the door opening and said, “No need. They're already out.”

Thalia's eyes swept across the area, and she saw Benjamin and Denise coming out from inside. Only when she saw them did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Opening the car door, the two of them got in.

Seeing this, Anthony tidied up the seats.

Thalia looked back at them and said, “If you hadn't come out, I would've gone inside to look for you.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

After sitting down, Denise slumped against the backseat, looking quite exhausted.

“What's wrong?” Thalia asked.

“Let Ben explain,” Denise said lazily. After talking so much with Magus, she felt she had used up all her energy.

Benjamin turned to look at Denise, knowing that she was always lazy, and did not refuse. He looked at Thalia and said, “We encountered some minor problems later on.”

“What did you guys talk to Magus about in the corridor?” Anthony asked directly.

Benjamin looked at him and understood Anthony had hacked into the hospital's surveillance system.

“Magus is here?” Thalia asked.

Benjamin nodded. “Yeah. We were just talking with Lina when Magus went in, and he almost kicked us out!”

“How dare he!” Upon hearing this, Thalia frowned and exclaimed. Then, she turned her head to look at Anthony and asked, “How did you know Magus was here?”

“What else do you think I'm looking at on my phone?” Anthony retorted.

Thalia responded, “Why didn't you tell me if you already know?”

“Err, I was so focused on watching that I forgot.”

Thalia scolded, “You clearly did it on purpose!”

“Do you have any evidence?”

Thalia sneered. “Do you think I need evidence for that?”

Anthony seemed to have understood something from her gaze and immediately stopped. “That's true. After all, you have your abilities. You wouldn't care about such trivial things.”

“Are you scared now?”

“Of course. Since I'm out in this world, I have to rely on you.”

“You certainly have a clear understanding of yours situation.”

“Of course,” said Anthony. He quickly changed the subject and turned to Benjamin, “Continue, Benjamin.”

Benjamin lazily raised an eyebrow. “You two aren't going to fight anymore?”

“What do you mean fight? We're just joking around.”

“He knows his place.”

Seeing the two of them acting this way, Benjamin could not help but sigh. “Actually, I didn't say anything. It was all Denise.”

He briefly summarized what Denise had said and told them.

After listening to him, a hint of surprise flashed across Thalia's eyes. She looked straight at Denise and asked, “How did you know?”

Denise was still lazily leaning back, seemingly resting but was actually keeping an eye on them and participating in their conversation. Hearing the question, she replied, “I overheard your conversation with Spencer over the phone yesterday.”

“Weren't you asleep at that time?”

“I was half asleep.”

“Then, what I said later on...”

“Oh, I didn't hear what was said after that,” Denise exclaimed.

Thalia finally felt at ease and nodded.

Benjamin then asked, “What was said after that?”

Denise looked straight at him. “Don't ask too much about their relationship.”

Thalia's eyes widened immediately, “Didn't you say you didn't hear us?”

Denise gave a sheepish smile. “I just have selective hearing.”

Thalia was speechless.

She could not help but wish to find a hole to crawl into, just thinking about how she told Spencer she loved him over the phone yesterday.

Seeing her face turn red, Anthony said, “If you're really feeling embarrassed, why don't you hide under the car?”

Thalia did not know how to respond.

Her gaze went straight to Anthony.

Is he a vibe killer? If Kenneth is a typical straight guy, then Anthony is a mini straight guy.

Before she could speak, Anthony blurted out, “What's there to be embarrassed about dating? It's perfectly normal. Besides, we've caught Daddy and Mommy kissing several times.”

This remark could be considered the ultimate consolation.

Thalia really did not feel as awkward anymore. She looked at him and asked, “Really?”

“Ask them.”

Benjamin and Denise nodded in unison.

With that in mind, Thalia finally felt relieved. “All right. Since you all said it, I'll just...”

“A man and a woman in a relationship is perfectly normal.”

It was normal, but the statement seemed particularly abnormal coming from a child.

Thalia frowned, sizing him up. “Anthony, aren't you a bit too precocious?”

“Am I?” Anthony raised his eyebrows, seemingly unconcerned. “It's probably because I grew up abroad since young. They express their feelings very simply, and I think it's quite normal, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“You aren't subtle at all,” Thalia said.

“There is beauty in subtlety and advantages in being direct. If most children could face their feelings and relationships as we do, many troubles and problems could be avoided.”

Thalia could not deny this.

Proper guidance could indeed contribute to a child's healthy development.

At this moment, Denise muttered, “Thalia, don't listen to Anthony. I think you and Spencer are great together. Your story is full of twists and turns, but it's also subtle and beautiful. It's just like the idol dramas I watch. Amazing!”

Thalia paused before responding, “Listen to me, Denise. You mustn't fall in love when you grow up.”

“Why?”

“I'm afraid you'll be love-stuck.”

“No way!” Denise objected. “With Daddy and Uncle Spencer setting such high standards, it's going to be hard for anyone else to catch my eye.”

Hearing her praise Spencer as well, Thalia raised her eyebrow in satisfaction. “That's true. You do have good taste.”

“Of course!”

After joking around for a bit, Thalia turned to Anthony and asked, “Where to next, Boss? What's your plan? Aren't you going to tell us?”

“Let's go back first,” Anthony said.

“Just like that?” Thalia asked.

I thought he would have something big planned.

“Let's go,” said Anthony.

Thalia, somewhat disinterested, did not say anything more and started the car to head back.

At that moment, Anthony took out his phone and flipped through it for a while. He found the person who was on the wanted list yesterday and even deliberately zoomed in on the photo to take a closer look.

Denise still looked as lazy as ever, leaning back in her seat. As she turned her head to look at Anthony, she caught sight of the enlarged photo and was instantly taken aback.

In the next moment, she took action, snatching the phone directly from Anthony's hand and carefully examining the photo.

Anthony had never seen Denise behave so rudely before. He frowned and asked, “What's wrong?”

Denise looked at Benjamin and said excitedly, “Ben, that person... the one who almost bumped into me at the hospital...”
