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

Thea closely scrutinized the mother and daughter duo.

This girl does look a little like Kenneth. But then again, her expression is almost identical to Natasha's. They're equally annoying! No wonder I didn't like this girl when I saw her previously. Now I finally know why.

Thea started making snarky remarks. "Ms. Watson, is she really your daughter?"

Munching on her food, Natasha lazily cocked a brow upon hearing those words. "Is there something wrong with that?"

As though victory was well in her hands, Thea broke into a bright smile. "Then, why are you still clinging onto Kenneth when you already have a daughter?"

At that, Natasha's brows bunched up. But before she acted up, Kenneth suddenly walked up to Thea and grabbed her forcefully. "Thea, don't spout nonsense here!"

The latter furiously threw a glare at him. "I'm not spouting nonsense. That's a fact. Kenneth, this woman already has someone else's child. Why can't you get over her?"

Fury burned in the man's eyes. "That's my problem, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"Are you crazy, Kenneth?" Thea looked at him in disbelief.

"As I said, that's my business, and it has nothing to do with you," the man solemnly emphasized the sentence again.

Of course, Thea was unwilling to relent. "I don't know how this woman has bewitched you, but listen, Old Mr. Hamilton will never agree to it either!" She turned to Natasha and continued, "Back then, you aborted Kenneth's child; yet, you have a daughter now. Natasha, you'd better stop pestering him. No matter what tricks you have up your sleeves, Old Mr. Hamilton will never allow you to become a part of the Hamilton family again!"

Just when Kenneth wanted to retort her, Natasha suddenly sneered coldly. "Is that so?

With a smirk, Thea answered with conviction, "Of course."

Natasha unhurriedly shifted her attention to Kenneth. Her almond-shaped eyes had a tinge of distant vibe in them. "Tell me, Kenneth. Will you agree if I say I want to marry you again?" The man could not believe his ears.

"I'll only give you one chance. Will you agree to it?" Even though Natasha had popped the same question again in a gentle tone, her gaze seemed immensely aggressive.

As much as the man knew she had acted that way out of defiance, he somehow could not bring himself to turn her down.

Narrowing his dark eyes, he muttered, "I couldn't ask for anything more."

The moment his words rang out, Thea scrunched her brows together. "Kenneth..."

"But what if Old Mr. Hamilton is against it?" Natasha popped another question.

The man's lips curled into a faint smile.

"You should know well that Grandpa couldn't be happier to learn about that."

Even so, Thea refused to believe those words. "How is that possible? Old Mr. Hamilton-"

Without waiting for her to finish her words, Natasha interrupted, "Hear that, Thea? The Hamiltons can't wait for me to marry Kenneth. It's just that I don't have the intention to do so."

With her eyes fixed on Natasha, Thea clenched her fists tightly in anger. "No way. That's absolutely impossible!"

"That's your problem if you don't believe it. However, keep this in mind and don't ever make a fuss in front of me again. I can tolerate you once, but that doesn't mean I'll do it the next time," Natasha enunciated every word as a warning.

In all honesty, she could not be bothered to pick a fight with Thea. But since the latter kept taunting her in front of her child, she decided to let her get a taste of the true meaning of embarrassment. Yet, Thea was still unwilling to admit defeat. "I will talk to Old Mr. Hamilton about this matter."

She thought her words would frighten Natasha, but it turned out that there was not even a hint of worry on the latter's face.

"Please see yourself out." Natasha bluntly gave an order to leave.

Seething with anger, Thea turned and was about to head out when Natasha spoke again.

"Oh yes, bring Kenneth with you. Don't always assume that others want exactly the same stuff you want. This man has been here for many days and refuses to leave no matter how I chase him away." That instantly fueled the fire in Thea's heart.

Thea whipped her head aside to look at the man. "Hear that, Kenneth? This woman doesn't love you at all!"

Without saying anything, he got to his feet and strode outside.

Thinking that Kenneth had thought things through and decided to leave with her, Thea lifted the corners of her lips into a grin, looking smug. "Turns out you barely know anything about Kenneth!" With that, she followed behind.

In the corridor outside, Thea hurried up and tried to grab hold of the man's arm. "Kenneth..."

However, when her hands were about to reach him, Kenneth moved away from her.

With her hands froze mid-air, she lifted her gaze to the man. "Kenneth, you should've heard what that woman said. Don't tell me you still won't give up?"

Kenneth shot his frosty gazes at her. "I thought I've made it very clear to you, Thea. But I guess you still don't understand. If that's so, I'll get Fabian to work on the resignation procedures for you." Stumped, she cast him a look of incredulity. "Are you chasing me away?"

"I'll get Fabian to do a tabulation of what you've done for the company through the years. You'll get your fair share of compensation." After saying that, he

stomped away.

Thea was on the verge of a breakdown. "How can you measure the value of the hard work I've put in for you and the company all these years with money? Do I look like I was doing it for money?"

Kenneth was taken aback.

"Or have you forgotten that I was almost... because I tried to help you secure the shares! You said it yourself that you'll protect me from then on!"

With his back facing her, he clenched his teeth tightly as a visible scowl appeared on his face.

At his lack of response, Thea went on with her grumbles. "I've gone this far for you; don't tell me you still don't understand the feelings I have for you? I can and am willing to do everything for you!" Kenneth turned back. "For old times' sake, I've been turning a blind eye to whatever you've done all these years. But that doesn't mean I'm clueless about everything."

Thea froze in shock, and her face turned

grim. "What do you mean by that?" "What did you do when I sent you home after you drank at the bar the other time?" Kenneth questioned.

Thea was stupefied.

"Thea, don't exhaust the remaining bit of friendship we have left." With that said, he headed back toward the ward without waiting for her to respond.

How did he find out that I've drugged him?

Meanwhile, back at the ward, Denise stared intently at Natasha with her bright eyes. "Nat, are you angry?"

"No."

"Nat, you're amazing just now. You made that weird lady looks so furious!"

"Do you know her?"

"I've seen her once when I met Mr. Handsome previously. Whenever he carried me, that lady would glare at me. That's how I could tell that she doesn't like me," Denise explained. Natasha furrowed her brows, seemingly drowning in her thoughts.

"Nat, is it possible that Mr. Handsome has gotten angry and left with that lady?" Denise asked.

Just then, Kenneth pushed open the door and trotted in.

At the sight of the man's return, Denise pulled a smile on her face. "Mr. Handsome didn't leave!" Finishing her words, she lunged toward him.

Natasha also pinned her confusion-filled gaze on him.

He didn't leave?
