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

Chapter 1016 Not Quitting

Knowing that Anthony was always straightforward, Kyle's eyes dimmed. After that, Kyle said, “All right. Since you've put it that way, I won't beat around the bush, either.”

Anthony was staring at him intently as if waiting for him to start the conversation.

Kyle pursed his lips and said, “Thalia has already told me about your situation that day.”

Anthony looked at him, saying nothing. Thalia has informed Kyle about the matter, so he is well aware.

“To be honest, this situation is somewhat beyond my expectations and capabilities,” Kyle said slowly. His handsome and striking features showed a hint of difficulty and complexity.

Hearing that, Anthony dimmed his eyes slightly and said, “I understand. Don't worry. I won't put you in a difficult position. Benjamin and I will find an excuse to quit, but I'm afraid I can't agree to the conditions of withdrawal.”

Upon hearing those words, Kyle immediately furrowed his brows. “Quit? Are you still thinking about this?”

“What else can I do? Before, I was upset because of my mommy, and now, I don't want to put you in a difficult position!” Anthony muttered.

Kyle immediately responded, “I am in a difficult position, but I never intended for you to quit!”

Anthony looked at him.

Seeing that, Kyle immediately added, “You've misunderstood me. What I meant was, this situation has indeed exceeded my expectations, and I currently don't have a solution. We can only take it

one step at a time.” He then looked at the two of them and said seriously, “But as for backing out of this, you, both of you, don't even think about it!”

Why would I want them to quit? It was so hard to get them here! I haven't lost my mind! If these two were to quit, given their abilities, they would inevitably become my greatest enemies. I would never breed calamity for the future, let alone create enemies for myself! Moreover, if they were to join DX Group or any other organization, wouldn't I be shooting myself in the foot? Kyle would never do such a foolish thing.

Listening to Kyle's words and observing his reaction, both Anthony and Benjamin furrowed their brows.

“Isn't that what you meant?” Anthony asked.

“Of course not!” Kyle flatly denied it. “Did you think I had nothing better to do? Why would I ask you to quit just to create trouble for myself?”

Anthony looked at him. “Well... How about Holden? If he finds out about this, it would be hard for him to accept, wouldn't it?”

Kyle frowned and thought about Holden's fondness for the two little ones. He had repeatedly instructed me to inform him if they came. It's clear that Holden really loves children, especially these two little ones. Yet, fate is a cruel mistress.

With these thoughts in mind, Kyle sighed helplessly. “What should I do? I really didn't anticipate this, but I believe there will definitely be a solution in the end!”

The two of them looked at him, lips pressed tightly together, unsure of what to say.

Kyle looked at them and continued, “Thalia has explained everything to me. I know this matter really has nothing to do with you. If I say I'm not the least bit worried, you probably won't believe me. But

truly, I've never doubted your determination toward Darknetz. I trust you!”

When they heard that Kyle believed in them, Anthony and Benjamin looked at him, suddenly at a loss for words.

Anthony had the most contact with Darknetz, while Benjamin was someone who lived in his own world. At that time, he just followed Anthony and unintentionally joined this organization. He would do some tasks and earn some money when he was free. However, once he had money, he rarely showed up again.

The most Benjamin did was occasionally chat with them in the group chat.

Hence, compared to Anthony, Benjamin might not be as sentimental, but he had a certain emotional foundation.

The two exchanged a glance, their gaze settling on Kyle.

They didn't really want to leave. Anthony, in particular, was quite fond of the group. Therefore, the decision to leave was something he only voiced after much heartache.

At that moment, looking at Kyle, he recalled the trust Kyle had in them and felt an inexplicable emotion.

Kyle looked at them and said, “I know the issue between Kenneth and Holden is not easy to resolve. At the moment, I don't have any solutions either. But I believe that even if Holden finds out about this, he won't take his anger out on you. He really likes you guys.”

Those words reminded Anthony of the way Holden looked at him. Anthony could tell that Holden was genuinely fond of them.

However, the more he liked them, the more scared Anthony became.

If the end result was resentment and hatred, he would rather it had never happened from the start so that he wouldn't feel devastated in the end.

After a long silence, Anthony finally said in a low voice, “You know, what I fear is not displaced anger.”

Kyle looked at him, thought for a moment, then uttered, “I understand. You're afraid of becoming enemies with each other, but Anthony, Holden is not a fool. If I can distinguish you from Kenneth, I believe he can, too!”

“You all can tell the difference, but I can't. He's my daddy, and if Holden hurts him, I just can't accept it!” Anthony suddenly murmured, looking at Kyle.

In the end, Kyle just looked at him, not knowing what to say for a long time. People often say that vengeance begets nothing but a vicious cycle of further vengeance. I didn't understand it before, but now I profoundly grasp its meaning.

“Anthony, can't they sort out their own issues?” Kyle asked.

“I've thought about it, but I don't think they can,” Anthony said. “If Holden hurts my daddy, I can't accept it. Similarly, if my daddy hurts Holden, I'm afraid I won't be able to get along with him for the rest of my life,” Anthony added.

So, no matter who got hurt, Anthony would ultimately suffer.

Kyle pondered for a moment and nodded. “Understood.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“So, I have no other choice...” Anthony said, looking at him.

Ever since joining Darknetz, whether it was the group or Kyle and the others, Anthony had been very fond of it all. It was as if that was his entire world to which he devoted all his energy and

thoughts.

No one could understand his feelings.

However, Kyle was looking at him with dark eyes when he said, “But Anthony, even if you quit, the current situation won't change. Their hatred for each other won't disappear just because you step back.”

Anthony looked at him. “Yes. I know. But I never truly wanted to quit. I just didn't know how to face Holden.”

He knew Holden was innocent, a victim, yet he still didn't know what to do.

Listening to his words, Kyle looked at Anthony, his eyes filled with a touch of heartache. Sometimes, as children and the next generation, they feel helpless about the matters between adults. There's no way I can just sit back and do nothing, and it's even more impossible to pretend as if nothing has happened. Whenever either side gets hurt or upset, the ones caught in the middle suffer the most.

With that in mind, Kyle furrowed his brows tightly.
