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

Chapter 231

Looking at Anthony's expression, Benjamin could not help but feel curious. “What are you gonna do to them so they regret hurting Nat?”

“How about you take a guess?” Anthony asked indifferently.

Benjamin drew closer and rested his hand on his brother's shoulder. “I was just trying to say that you shouldn't hurt yourself just to get back at them. That's not the right way to punish them.”

Anthony whipped his head and flashed Benjamin an insincere smile. “Don't worry, brother. I would rather hurt you than hurt myself.”

What... What's wrong with him? I just wanted a heart-to-heart talk, but what can I do with him? He's the eldest. This was already decided the moment we were born. I guess I'll have to bear with him for the rest of my life.

Benjamin smiled back at him in the end. “Fine. Just pretend like you didn't hear anything I said.”

“Exactly what I was thinking. I'm proud you came to that realization,” Anthony praised sarcastically.

Benjamin took a deep breath and said no more on their way home.

Beside them, Denise shook her head as she was unable to understand why boys would act so childishly.

Ding!

When Denise saw a notification on her phone showing a message from Sharon, her face lit up with excitement.

At home, Natasha had just come out of the bathroom when the children arrived.

With a head of silky hair flowing down her back, she looked fresh and pure like a lotus flower, and Denise could not help but gasp in amazement at her beauty which did not pale in comparison to all the celebrities out there.

If Natasha really chose to be an actress, she would definitely outshine the crowd.

“What's the matter?” Natasha asked when she saw the girl gaping at her.

Denise finally registered her surroundings and ran toward her mother with her arms wide open for a hug. “Mommy! I was stunned by your beauty!” “Are you?” Natasha asked, lowering her smiling eyes at her daughter, who nodded back at her.

“Nat, you should just join showbiz.

I'm sure you'll put everyone out of a job if you do become an actress.”

“Aren't you a sweet-talker, huh?” Natasha teased.

“Ha. By the way, Nat, Sharon reached out just now, asking me to go find the director of the film crew tomorrow,” Denise informed.

“And?” Natasha inquired, glancing at her.

“I don't know. I'm just going over to see how things will turn out.”

“All right. I'll send you over tomorrow, then,” Natasha agreed with a nod.

“It's okay. Sharon said she can pick

me up.”

“Oh. Okay, then,” Natasha replied, raising her brows.

“Mommy, aren't you worried at all? Aren't you afraid that someone would kidnap your darling?”

“Why should I be? Daddy knows her, so I'm sure he can get you back if you really get kidnapped.”

Denise pouted in disgruntlement, but before long, she put away her grumpy face and asked Natasha in earnestness, “Nat, do you really think I can do it?”

Natasha observed the girl for a while and nodded in approval. “You're pretty—at least for now—so I don’t think it'll be a problem for you to be recognized in the entertainment industry. You just need to make sure you grow up well.”

“No way, Mommy. Look at you. There's no way I won't grow up into a fine young lady.”

“But you don't look like me, though,” Natasha disagreed.

“Well, even if I take after Daddy more, it still means I will be a beautiful woman in the future,” Denise argued.

“Yeah. I see where the confidence is coming from.”

“I can't help it. I've got his genes,” Denise answered optimistically. There was no reason for her to not be confident since both Natasha and Kenneth were attractive.

Natasha perked up her brows. Well, you're right. He's handsome for sure. Even if I were to compare him with those actors in the industry, he could still easily beat all of them in terms of looks, so it doesn't matter if Denise takes after him or me.

She'll still turn out a dashing woman, and this is already evident even at such a young age.

A smile curved on Natasha's lips looking at the girl. “I wish you all the best for tomorrow, then.”

“Thank you. Wait for my good news,” Denise replied with a smile.

“What are you guys talking about? Is Denise joining a film crew?” Benjamin chimed in out of nowhere.

“I'm not telling you anything,” Denise said slowly, pronouncing every single word with clarity.

“Whatever. God knows if someone might trick and sell you off,” Benjamin teased.

“Hey! I'm beautiful and brainy! I'm smart enough to be aware of my surrounding, so there's no way someone can pull a stunt on me,” Denise scolded.

“Ha! Did you just say you're beautiful?

I wonder who gave you the confidence to say that about yourself.”

“My parents did!”

Words eluded Benjamin. He did not know how else to argue the matter, so he raised his thumb in the admission of his defeat. “Fine. You won.”

A smile broke out on Denise's face. I'll never lose when it comes to bantering.

“All right. Time to get some rest, all of you,” Natasha cut in.

“Okay. Goodnight, Nat!” Denise bade in a sweet voice.

“Goodnight.” “Goodnight, Nat,” Benjamin also said. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Sweet dreams.”

After bidding the children goodnight, Natasha turned and went back to her room, but the moment she went in, Anthony came out from his room.

Benjamin also came out and curved his finger at his siblings, who then gathered around him at his beckoning.

“Isn't it weird? Nat didn't even ask about Thalia. I thought she would at least ask us a thing or two about what happened,” Benjamin whispered.

“Well, I don't see why she should. I told her before that Thalia is a friend of ours,” Anthony explained.

Benjamin was taken aback. “So, did she really not ask anything about this 'friend' at all? Not to mention, it's clear as day that Thalia is no regular person. I can't believe Nat is so

“Nope. She didn't ask anything about Thalia,” Anthony replied.

“She's a hard book to read,” Benjamin answered.

“You know what? I think she didn't probe into this because she roughly knows what is going on,” Anthony guessed.

Benjamin glanced at him and thought about the possibility before finally nodding. “I guess this is the only explanation we have.”

“So, are you guys saying that Nat is aware of what exactly we've been up to all this while?” Denise asked.

The three children stared at each other, not knowing what to say.

Does she know? Gosh. We have no idea!

After some thought, Benjamin spoke. “I'll just tell Nat everything if I'm going for training.”

“Well, there's no way you can join without telling her,” Anthony remarked.

“What can we do? Such is life...” Benjamin answered.

Anthony smiled in silence.

“It seems to me that you guys have already made up your mind,” Denise stated when she saw how determined both her brothers looked.

Benjamin nodded without any hesitation; Anthony nodded as well when he saw Benjamin's reaction.

On the contrary, Denise looked reluctant. She was more worried about leaving her parents than about the intensity of the training she had to put up with.

To her, the happiness she had at that moment came too late, and she did not want to let it go.

Her struggle was apparent to Anthony, so he said, “We might want to join, but Nat is ultimately the one who decides. It's still not too late to think about that after we gain her approval.”

“It's not like you guys won't go if she says no,” Denise muttered in disappointment, but given her understanding of her brothers and Natalie, the girl was positive that Natalie would allow them to join training in the end.

If Natalie did not grant them the green light, the boys would definitely think of a way to get what they wanted—she was certain about this.
