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

Chapter 51

“Since Mr. Yondel has nothing to do with this, please spare him,” said Natasha.

“Okay,” agreed Kenneth quickly.

He was so straightforward and decisive sometimes that she did not know how to continue the conversation.

Natasha nodded. “That’s what I want to say. Now that I'm done, I'll leave first.”

“It's noon. Why don't we have a meal together?” asked Kenneth. “There's a decent restaurant nearby.”

“It's fine...”

“Didn’t you say that you want to thank me? Treat me to a meal,” continued Kenneth.

Natasha asked, “It's that simple?”

Kenneth nodded. “Yeah, it's that simple.”

Since there was no reason to refuse anymore, she nodded. “Okay, then.” Kenneth smirked as they walked toward the restaurant. He seemed like he was in a good mood.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Kenneth looked at Natasha and asked, “Is there anything that you like to eat?”

“I'm not a picky eater, so anything's fine.”

However, just when he was about to order, he realized that he did not even know what Natasha liked to eat.

“I'd like to have two of your signature dishes.” As he spoke, he passed the menu to the waiter before gazing back at Natasha.

They sat opposite each other, familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.

When they were married, they did not even have a meal together. One could not help but exclaim how strange the time was.

“How is your injury? Is it time to rebandage it?” asked Kenneth, constantly staring at Natasha.

She glanced at her hand. “It's almost fully healed.”

“After eating, let's rebandage it.”

Natasha was speechless. Kenneth's initiative was making her feel weird.

Gazing at him, she asked, “Won't Thea be angry if you do this? Although I'm your ex-wife, the title itself already makes it clear that there is nothing between us anymore. You don't need to take responsibility for me. There's no need for you to do this.”

When she said that, a grim expression crossed Kenneth's face. “Are you that eager to cut off all ties with me?”

“With our relationship, we're already like strangers.

Kenneth fell silent.

Natasha's words were really direct.

“Kenneth, I can solve my own problems,” said Natasha as she looked at him.

“Solve? How can you solve them?”

“That's my business,” she replied. “It might sound harsh, but even if something happens to me, it has nothing to do with

you.”

“You'd rather get into trouble than have me intervene?” Kenneth stared at her.

Natasha took a deep breath. “When we were still together, I hated it when other women approach you. I don't want to be that kind of person now. Although I don't like Thea, it's worse if I become my past self, whom I really detest.”

Gazing at her, Kenneth pursed his lips and did not say anything.

“So, you don't have to care about what happens to me in the future. I can handle them myself,” emphasized Natasha.

After a long while, Kenneth scoffed coldly. “Don't worry, you won't become someone like that.”

“What do you mean?”

“Nothing,” rebuked Kenneth.

At that moment, the waiter served the dishes.

No longer in the mood to talk, Kenneth lowered his head and continued eating, looking furious.

Natasha stared at him. Since he did not say anything, she kept quiet too.

She had already said what was necessary and made her stance extremely clear. As for what happened next, it was Kenneth's own decision.

Kenneth ate while fury raged within him. After a few bites, he lost his appetite.

Looking at Natasha, he asked, “Is there anything else that you'd like to tell me?”

Natasha shook her head, having said everything on her mind.

Kenneth nodded. “Fine! If that's the case, I've got your message. I was just being too nosy for my own good!” With that, he stomped away angrily.

Natasha was speechless.

That's not what I mean.

However, since he had already left, she did not stop him.

Since there was still a lot of food left on the table, Natasha continued eating so they would not be wasted.

When Kenneth walked out, he turned his head around to take a look. Natasha was still sitting there and eating calmly, looking very relaxed.

What an ungrateful woman!

Furious, Kenneth spun around and left.

After Natasha was done eating, she called the waiter over to pay the bill.

“How much is it?”

“Mr. Hamilton has already paid the bill when he left,” replied the waiter.

Um-

Natasha was stunned. Didn't he want me to treat him to a meal?

Looking at the waiter, she nodded. “Okay, I got it.”

After leaving the restaurant, Natasha was prepared to hail a taxi home.

An inscrutable look surfaced in her eyes as she stared at Hamilton Corporation.

Kenneth did not give her what she wanted in the past. Now that he was doing that, she no longer treasured it.

With that thought, Natasha got into the taxi directly and left.

Thea was distracted for the entire day.

While eating with her parents, she sent a message to her assistant. The message read: Did anything happen in the company recently?

Naturally, the assistant knew who she was referring to and quickly replied: No, nothing exceptional happened.

But when Thea noticed how Kenneth was looking at Natasha, she knew that something had occurred.

Thea asked: Did he do anything strange recently?

The assistant replied: Nothing much, except for work.

Thea frowned, unable to understand what interactions could possibly happen between them.

Ms. Jarman, have you looked at the recent news? asked the assistant.

What news?

Gaston, the CEO of Prime Investment Corporation, has been arrested. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Thea had seen him a couple of times. Although he looked like a decent person on the surface, there were a lot of rumors about him being a lecher circulating in the business industry.

However, as Thea had been keeping her parents company for the past few days, she did not really pay attention to the news.

According to the rumors in the office, Mr. Hamilton was the one behind it. I don’t know if it's true, texted the assistant.

Thea fell into a deep thought as she stared at the message.

She had discussed with Kenneth about

Gaston before. However, Kenneth had no

intention of teaching him a lesson.

Why did he suddenly do it now? Unless... No! Something must have happened.

Thea could not place a finger on it. She urgently needed to find out what was going on.

Turning around, she glanced at her parents who were still eating. “Dad, Mom, I've got some work in the office. I won't be keeping you company in the afternoon. Have fun on your own!”

“What's so urgent?” asked her father unhappily.

“It's just really urgent,” replied Thea.

Looking at how anxious her daughter was, Caroline immediately knew what happened. “Don't worry about us and just go. Your dad and I know our way around. We'll walk around ourselves.”

Thea continued staring at her father, who sighed. “Go ahead, then!”

Heaving a sigh of relief, she grabbed her bag and left.

“Thea, remember what I said! Don't be rash,” reminded Caroline.

Turning around, Thea looked at her and nodded solemnly. “Got it, Mom.”
