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

Chapter 869 He Cannot Speak The Truth

Even though Magus was extremely reluctant, at this moment, he had no choice but to believe Anthony.

Anthony is right about one thing—any choice I make might potentially lead me down the same path as before. I can accept that, but Lena can't... So, the only option I have now is to choose to trust them.

After a while, Magus finally looked at Anthony and nodded. “All right, let's do it as you said.”

Seeing Magus agree, Anthony was somewhat surprised. However, he was good at hiding his emotions. Without any change in expression, he tilted his head to signal Magus. “In that case, let's not waste time and energy. Eat something first, and then we can take action right away!”

“I'm not hungry!” Magus refused.

Anthony glanced at him. “Whether you're hungry or not, you have to eat. Otherwise, you'll be at a disadvantage in terms of strength. I shouldn't have to tell you this, right?”

Anthony always had a bunch of reasons up his sleeves, but it also made a lot of sense.

Magus turned his head to look at the items on the table. He picked them up and said, “I'll eat these on the way. I'll go leave a signal for him first. The sooner I get in touch with him, the less danger Lina will be in!”

Before the others could say anything else, Magus turned around and left.

“How about your workshop?” Thalia asked.

Yet, Magus walked away without even looking back.

At that moment, Benjamin stretched lazily and walked over, saying, “For him, it's his craftsmanship that's impressive, not this workshop!”

Anthony turned his head and looked at Benjamin. “You know everything!”

“Of course, we are both talented people!” answered Benjamin.

Upon hearing that, Anthony rolled his eyes at Benjamin directly.

At that moment, Miguel walked over and asked, “Master, what should we do now?”

“Let's go back first and make a good plan!” Anthony said.

The few people nodded, ready to head back. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

In the car, Miguel directly handed out breakfast to everyone, then drove back.

On the road, Anthony didn't forget to keep his computer on, seemingly busy with something.

Denise—who was sitting next to Anthony—asked, “Tony, how confident are you about handling this matter?”

Anthony didn't even lift his head. “What are you asking about?”

“I'm asking about that Lindon!”

“Finding him is a piece of cake. Dealing with him, however...” As Anthony spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Thalia, who was sitting in front of him.

Thalia sat in the passenger seat, understanding what Anthony meant without even looking back. “Don't worry! I haven't met my match yet!”

Upon hearing this, Anthony raised his eyebrows slightly. “You haven't met your match? What about my daddy?”

Speaking of Kenneth, Thalia suddenly thought of their previous fight at the hospital. She hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Anthony and said, “I didn't use my full strength back then!”

“My daddy said the same thing!”

Thalia was displeased and looked back at Anthony. “I remember you used to really dislike him. How come you're increasingly siding with him now?”

“I'm just telling the truth!”

“Pfft!” Thalia didn't believe it and rolled her eyes at Anthony.

Anthony smiled and said nothing more.

The car continued to drive down the road.

Soon after returning, the group gathered together again.

Thalia was quite straightforward, getting straight to the point and asking, “Tell me about your plan!”

Anthony frowned. “Is my plan not clear enough? I'll find the location, and you'll deal with the person!”

“Is that all?”

Anthony nodded. “That's all!”

Thalia looked at Anthony and suddenly asked after a moment, “These things, they couldn't possibly be within your expectations as well, could they?”

“What things?”

“Lindon!” Thalia's reply was concise.

“How could that be possible?” Anthony immediately denied.

“So, what were you planning that day when you looked as if you have a well-thought-out plan at the hospital entrance?” Thalia asked. Although she spent every day with Anthony, sometimes she really couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Despite being so young, Anthony's shrewdness was just like Kenneth's, making it difficult to figure Anthony out.

Anthony's eyebrows raised slightly. “If I say I wasn't planning anything, would you believe me?”

“Do you believe it?” Thalia asked in return directly.

Anthony pursed his lips. “Of course, I believe in myself! If I don't, who else will I believe?”

Thalia looked at him with a sarcastic smile. “So, you're not going to tell me?”

“Why won't you just believe me?”

“In just two short days, Magus went from rejecting and disliking you when he first met you, to gradually starting to listen to you now. How can you expect me to believe that?” Thalia asked.

That morning, Thalia was quite surprised when she saw Magus obeying Anthony when the latter told Magus to have breakfast.

Although he wasn't sitting there eating obediently, the fact that he could take it away was already unbelievable.

However, when Anthony heard this, he didn't have much of a reaction. He simply said calmly, “I let him eat because it's good for him. He's not stupid. This just proves that I'm a good person, and he'll gradually see that!”

“What about when he gave you something to eat?” Thalia asked.

Upon hearing this, at that moment, everyone's gaze turned toward Anthony.

“Tony, did he give you something to eat?” Denise asked.

Benjamin also looked at him with a slightly surprised gaze.

Anthony swept his gaze over them, finally settling on Thalia. “Did you see it?”

“Of course! Why?”

Anthony asked, “Were you pretending to sleep?”

“That's not the point!” Thalia emphasized.

Anthony sighed. “I was hungry. So, he gave me something to eat. That's not a big deal, right?”

“Don't play dumb with me. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be a big deal. But it's Magus we're talking about—a person who resists socializing with others. Yet, he chatted with you yesterday and even shared food with you...” Thalia found it unbelievable and couldn't help but ask, “Did you give him some kind of enticing potion or something?”

“Where can you find such a thing? Besides, if it existed, I could just feed it to everyone and then I'd rule the world, right?” Anthony retorted.

“So how did you manage to do it?” Thalia was extremely curious.

Anthony was sitting right next to Magus, and the two of them busily chatted away while working, looking just like they had known each other for a long time and shared a deep understanding.

Upon hearing Thalia's description, at that moment, the gazes of several people nearby all fell upon Anthony.

Anthony initially wanted to bluff his way through. However, with all those eyes staring at him, Anthony pondered for a moment and then said earnestly, “Have you heard of the saying that goes, 'put yourself in others' shoes'?”

Thalia spoke. “I recognize this phrase and have heard of it, but what does it have to do with you?”

“Don't you think I've been considering his feelings, and that's why he feels moved?” Anthony asked in return.

“What did you do?” Thalia asked.

“Um...” Faced with this question, Anthony didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Then, Denise and Benjamin thought about it and realized, that made sense!

“Yeah, Tony, what did you do?” Denise asked.

They were the ones who went to find Lina, while Thalia was the one who went to find Magus. What had Anthony done to make Magus treat him so different from everyone else?

However, Anthony sat in front of them. Facing their sharp gazes and questions, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After all, the truth couldn't always be told as it is!
