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

Chapter 62

Fabian entered after Natasha left.

When he saw the box on the floor, he asked in surprise, “Mr. Hamilton, did you really take the money?”

Kenneth gazed at Fabian without saying a word.

“No, that's not the proper way to win a girl's affection. Mr. Hamilton, you are giving off an assertive impression if you take the money. Don’t you think so?” Fabian said while walking up to Kenneth.

“Is that so?” Kenneth seemed distracted.

“Of course! During times like this, you must insist on not taking the money!” Fabian added.

Kenneth remained silent.

“However, I have to say that your ex-wife is quite feisty. She returned the money to you right after you gifted the car to her. I'm quite amused by her domineering personality,” Fabian muttered cheerfully.

Kenneth ignored him.

Fabian was suddenly intrigued. He looked at Kenneth and asked secretively, “Mr. Hamilton, may I take a look at the money worth over ten million? I've never seen so much cash before.”

Kenneth raised his brows lazily after hearing Fabian's request. “You don't have to look at it. Feel free to take it with you. I'll gift you the money.”

“What?” Fabian was momentarily dazed as he stared at Kenneth. “No, Mr. Hamilton. I just want to take a look...”

“I'm serious. Take it,” Kenneth uttered solemnly.

Taking in his serious demeanor, Fabian laughed diffidently. “Mr. Hamilton, don't be like this. I'm beginning to feel a little scared. I didn't do anything to deserve that reward, so how can I accept the money?”

“Do you want it or not?” Kenneth asked.

“S-Should I take the money?” Fabian raised the question while staring at the box.

“Take the box and get out of here,” Kenneth instructed.

In that case, it'll be difficult for me to not comply with Mr. Hamilton's wish.

Fabian smiled when he noticed Kenneth was not joking. “In that case, Mr. Hamilton, I'll take the money. Don't worry. I'll do everything you ask of me in the future and pledge my allegiance to you.” With that, he lifted the box and was about to leave.

However, just as he held up the box, Fabian realized the box was extremely light.

He gazed at Kenneth. “Mr. Hamilton, this...”

Kenneth suppressed his urge to laugh. Feigning ignorance, he asked, “What's the matter?”

Fabian did not know if he should tell the truth. He opened the box in front of Kenneth and revealed the empty content.

“Mr. Hamilton, this... I think your ex-wife scammed you,” Fabian said.

Still, Kenneth remained unfazed.

“You're not mad, Mr. Hamilton?” “Why should I be mad?” Kenneth asked.

Fabian was stunned. Clarity washed over at that instant. He realized Natasha did not scam Kenneth. Instead, Kenneth had tricked him.

He felt extremely embarrassed.

“Mr. Hamilton, you're making fun of me again...” Fabian grumbled pitifully. His hopes of possessing over ten million had shattered and dissipated into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

“When did I make fun of you?” Kenneth was not about to admit his action.

“You...” Fabian wanted to speak further, but on second thought, he recalled Kenneth had indeed not mentioned anything.

“Ahh! My ten million,” Fabian wailed before turning around and left.

Outside the building, Natasha had just walked up to the car parked at the entrance when Thea got out of another vehicle.

“Natasha?” Thea said while looking at Natasha. Then, she noticed the car that had appeared on the news. Thea frowned in displeasure.

Natasha turned around. When she saw Thea, she grinned and greeted the latter, “Ms. Jarman.”

“Why are you here?” Thea asked. Despite the smile on her face, it was apparent that she was putting up a pretense.

Natasha answered truthfully, “I'm here to return the car.”

Thea glanced at the car beside and asked, “Did Kenneth really gift you this car?”

“Theoretically, yes,” Natasha replied.

The smile on Thea’s face almost wavered.

“If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.” Natasha did not bother to explain further. She was not Kenneth's girlfriend, after all.

“Wait a moment,” Thea said after contemplating briefly. “Ms. Watson, let's add each other on WhatsApp. In that way, I can contact you through WhatsApp if there's any work-related matter to discuss,” she added.

Natasha could not find an excuse to reject Thea's reason and rationale, so she nodded.

“All right, sure!” She took out her phone and clicked on her WhatsApp application.

“I'll scan your QR code,” Thea offered.

Natasha opened her QR code to let Thea scan, then they were added to one another's contact list.

“Let's contact each other through WhatsApp if anything comes up in the future,” Thea said.

Natasha nodded. “I'll be leaving first then.” With that, she got into the car and left.

Thea felt her heart ached as she stared at the red sports car, gradually disappearing from her vision.

Nothing provoked her more than to witness the truth with her own eyes.

At that thought, she turned on her heels and went into the company.

Thea knocked on the door before entering Kenneth's office.

“Kenneth.”

Seeing Thea, Kenneth uttered, “Why aren't you at the hospital? Why did you come here?”

She placed a document in front of him. “You accidentally left this at the hospital, so I purposefully brought the document here for you.”

Kenneth saw the document and said, “You could've called me, and I could just arrange someone to retrieve it.

“I feel worried handing over such an important document to others,” Thea explained.

He smiled. “When do you plan for the surgery to take place?”

“Tomorrow afternoon.”

He nodded. “Let me know if you need anything.”

She nodded while staring at him. Then, seemingly in deep thought, she said, “I met with Ms. Watson downstairs earlier.”

Kenneth fell silent at the mention of that topic.

“She said she's here to return the car. Did you really gift her the car?” Thea asked.

“Grandpa wanted to give the car to her as a present,” Kenneth replied.

“Old Mr. Hamilton?” Thea put on a wry smile. “It seems like he's favoring Ms.

Watson.”

“Yes. Grandpa treats her like she's his granddaughter.” Kenneth could not deny the fact because Liam doted on Natasha more than he did on him.

Regardless of the sender, Thea did not feel happy about that matter. However, she did cheer up a little, knowing that Kenneth did not gift Natasha the car.

“I assume you don't know about this, but news about you gifting her the car has been spreading like wildfire. The public is saying that you are trying to win over her affection by giving her the car as a present.”

“Is that so?” Kenneth asked. “When is that? Why have I never seen the article?”

“The article was hacked and removed from the internet afterward. It's gone.”

After giving that outcome some thought, his sixth sense was telling him that Natasha was the person behind the article's disappearance.

After all, she was the only one who would wish to have nothing to do with him.

Besides, that was her profession, so hacking and removing an article on the internet was simple.

At that thought, Kenneth curled his lips into a smile.

Thea's discomfort intensified at the sight of him enjoying the turns of events instead of getting angry. That agony was as if someone had delivered a blow to her heart, causing her to suffocate. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Kenneth, I have something to tell you after my dad complete his surgery,” she said to him while clenching her fists.

“What's the matter? Can't you tell me now?” he questioned her.

She shook her head. “It's something very important. I can only reveal it to you during a crucial moment. You must come at that time.”

Taking in her mysterious and solemn demeanor, Kenneth nodded after thinking for a few moments. “Okay. I'll definitely be there.”

Thea gazed at him and forced a smile. “That's a promise then. I’ll wait for you by that time.”

Kenneth nodded.
