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

Chapter 199

Staring at Kenneth, Zachary was stumped.

With his eyes spitting fire, Kenneth took a few steps closer to him and warned softly, “In fact, you could've prevented today's incident by stopping your mother when she kicked up a fuss at Prosper Technologies the first time. Zachary, at the end of the day, your incompetence caused all of this!”

“You...” Just when Zachary wanted to rebut, he realized that he was unable to find a

reason to.

In response, Kenneth curled his lips. “Previously, I saw you as my rival. But from how things turned out, it's obvious I have overestimated you.”

With his smirk fading away, Kenneth maintained his stare on Zachary. “You're not worthy of her.” With that, he broke into a knowing smile and turned to leave.

Watching Kenneth get into his car, Zachary declared all of a sudden, “Kenneth, this isn't over. In fact, the war has just begun. I,

Zachary Lynch, swear that I will destroy the Hamilton family as revenge for what happened today!”

Upon hearing Zachary's vow, Kenneth turned around with a triumphant expression and snapped, “Anytime.”

With that, he got into his car and left.

Fabian, too, did the same.

In the deep of the night, Zachary stood facing the wind with his reddened eyes. A never-before- seen anger had descended upon his face. Anyone who saw it could feel the suffocating aura he

was exuding.

After standing there for a long while, he finally got up to leave. It was during the moment he got into his car that a cold glint flashed in his eye.

After bringing everyone back to the Hamilton residence, Liam was looking at the two rooms that had their renovations completed and the one that was still being worked on. He explained gleefully, “As we didn't know there were three initially, we only prepared two rooms. The third one is being rushed to completion.”

“Isn't that Mr. Handsome's room?” Denise pointed at the room being renovated.

“Um, since he doesn't come home often, it doesn't matter which room he stays in. Besides, your rooms have to be together, as I can't show any favoritism,” Liam elaborated with a chuckle.

Despite the simple comment, the children could feel the intense affection behind his words. Even Terence couldn't help but notice the overwhelming love Liam had for them.

“Unfortunately, it's still not ready for use tonight.”

“It's fine. Benjamin and I can stay in the same room,” Anthony offered.

“Actually, there's still another room, which was supposed to be your daddy and mommy's matrimonial room. However, they never used it.” While Liam was speaking, he even snuck a self- conscious glance at Terence.

“Enough. I'm not that petty. Besides, it was Kenneth that wronged Natasha, not you,” Terence remarked.

Sharp as usual, Liam responded, “You know, I have always admired your ability to see things in an objective manner.”

“Fine, fine. Enough with your flattery. You should go ahead and make the arrangements, while I'm going to make a call.”

After Terence went off to do so, Liam shook his head, as he was well aware of who the former was calling.

Kenneth, you're on your own now.

At that moment, Anthony suggested, “Great-grandpa, I'll stay in the matrimonial room then.”

“Oh, don't you want to share a room with Benjamin?” Liam asked.

“I won't be able to sleep as he has a habit of kicking his blanket away.” If he had a choice, Anthony obviously wanted to have his own room. More importantly, he might have a visitor that night.

Benjamin protested in response, “Hey, hey, I only kick my blanket, not you!”

“I'm worried that you're itching to.”

Benjamin's lips curled. “How did you know?”

“You can drop the idea of wanting to be the eldest. It's not going to happen in this lifetime. As for the next, you had better come out earlier.”

Benjamin stared at him. “I was just later than you by a second!”

“A second is all that's needed for victory or defeat to be decided.”

Knowing that he couldn't beat his brother in an argument, Benjamin headed upstairs with a pout. “I'm going up to see my room.”

Liam was amused by how they were arguing. “Benjamin, do you desire to be the eldest? Seizing power isn't something achievable in a day or two. It's a long struggle that you must have the tenacity for.”

Breaking into a smile, Liam suddenly felt his heart warm at how lively the home had become.

Meanwhile, Denise commented with a sigh, “I don't understand why guys must fight over something so meaningless. It's so much better to be a girl.” With that, she, too, headed upstairs in an adorable manner. I m going to see my room too.

Watching the children go about, Liam was filled with bliss. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it's this lively at home every day?

At that moment, Anthony looked at Liam. “Great-grandpa, I'll be going upstairs too. You can go ahead and chat with Gramps.”

“All right. Go up and rest then,” Liam replied.

Only then did Anthony head up.

When Terence came back after making his call, Liam was already waiting in the living room with his chess pieces in place and a pot of coffee ready.

“Shall we?”

Terence took his seat at once. “Come on. I'm not afraid of you.”

With that, both of them dived into their

game.

In the midst of playing, Liam casually remarked, “I suppose you must have spoken to Nat just now.”

“Mmm-hmm,” Terence grunted with his eyes focused on the chessboard.

“Nat is already an adult and knows how to take care of herself. There's no need to worry so much about her,” Liam advised.

Terence raised his gaze upon hearing the words. “Of course, you don't want me to worry. That's how your grandson will get his opportunity.”

Liam was stunned. “I know you still resent him now, but just think about it. Wouldn't he be a good choice for the sake of the children? Besides, he has turned over a new leaf. You should continue to observe him and perhaps give him a—”

“Check!” Terence captured one of Liam's pieces.

Taken aback, Liam looked down at the chessboard and exclaimed, “Terence, that's really sly of you!”

“Don't blame me. You're the one with the agenda.”

“What do you mean I have an agenda? I was just giving you sincere advice.”

“Drop the sincerity act. You're just thinking on behalf of your grandson.”

“I-I just want both of them to be happy, including the kids.”

“Stop it. Don't think I don't know what you're really up to.”

“You...”

As tension began to build in the air, Kenneth walked in on the scene.

In truth, he had grown used to their bantering and appreciated how they livened up the usually quiet atmosphere.

“Mr. Kenneth, you're back,” Dan greeted at the sight of him.

After nodding in acknowledgment, Kenneth looked inside the house.

“It's been a while since both of them played and argued at the same time,” Dan commented with a smile.

Curling his lips, Kenneth walked up to them. “Grandpa, Old Mr. Watson.”

Both of them stopped their verbal sparring when they saw Kenneth. Terence, in particular, felt his mind put at ease. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Liam swept his gaze at Kenneth. “Have you sent Nat home?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

“Anyway, you'll sleep in the guest room tonight because Anthony is sleeping in your room,” Liam informed.

Kenneth was well aware that his position in the house was being rapidly eroded.

“I'm just going up to check on them as I still have something to deal with tonight.”

“Go ahead then.”

Kenneth gave Terence a cordial nod before heading upstairs.

At that moment, Liam threw Terence a glance. “Do you feel at ease now? Come, let's go another round!”
