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

Chapter 840 You Are Especially Charming Like This

Once they got on the car, Natasha's phone rang.

Natasha picked up her phone and wanted to answer it. However, upon seeing the caller ID, her eyebrows instantly furrowed.

Kenneth fastened his seatbelt, ready to set off, but noticed Natasha staring at her phone without any reaction. He furrowed his brow and asked, “What's wrong?”

Natasha looked up, and her eyes met his. She said, “It's Boss...”

Kenneth paused for a moment, and his gaze shifted to her phone. The incoming call displayed Boss's number.

Upon seeing this, Kenneth's eyes slightly narrowed.

“Could it be that he knows we're fine?” Natasha asked.

Kenneth pursed his lips and did not speak. He was also pondering the matter at hand.

Natasha thought for a moment and was about to answer the call when suddenly, Kenneth reached out and stopped her.

“Let's talk about it later.” Kenneth looked at her.

Thus, Natasha's watched the phone screen flicker until it automatically disconnected.

Natasha took her phone, just about to unlock it, when suddenly, a new message appeared on the screen.

I am sorry.

Upon seeing this message, Natasha's eyebrows furrowed.

Natasha looked at Kenneth and asked, “What does it mean?”

Kenneth took her phone and saw the three words on the screen. A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. “What else could it mean? He probably drank too much and is feeling guilty now.”

Natasha narrowed her eyes.

Kenneth looked at her and smiled. “It's fine and actually better that you don't understand.”

He certainly had a lot less to worry about now.

Natasha looked at him. “Why do I feel like you're mocking me?”

Kenneth replied, “No, I'm genuinely praising you, Nat. You're especially charming like this.”

Natasha adjusted her sitting position and looked straight ahead. “I don't believe you at all.”

Kenneth smiled and then started the car and drove away.

“So, what should I do with this information?” Natasha asked.

Kenneth thought carefully and said, “If it's as I thought, he now believes that he caused your death and is filled with guilt toward you.”

“Why would he think that?” Natasha wondered.

“I'm not quite sure about that.” Kenneth shook his head.

Natasha narrowed her eyes. A hint of doubt flashed across her delicate features, and her eyes showed that she was pondering something.

At that moment, Kenneth suddenly held her hand in his palm. “Don't worry, Nat. This time, we will definitely get him!”

She asked, “Are you that confident?”

“Fishing is easy with good bait,” Kenneth said with certainty.

He knew the financial situation of Vermillion Base all too well. The offer Dave made to lure Boss would definitely tempt the latter.

Upon hearing Kenneth's words, Natasha did not say anything more but just took a deep breath.

As if sensing something, Kenneth turned his head to look at her. “What's the matter? You can't bear to do it?”

Upon hearing this, Natasha turned her head to look at Kenneth and said, “Do I look like such an irrational person that I would pity an enemy just because they show a little guilt towards me?”

“Then...” Kenneth trailed off.

“I'm just worried about this plan. I'm afraid it might lead to unexpected consequences,” Natasha said.

“Nat, we're luring someone into a well-designed trap. Even if there are unexpected incidents, Dave will minimize the damage. Don't worry,” Kenneth comforted.

Natasha listened and nodded in agreement.

Kenneth knew that Natasha did not like to owe others favors. Now that DX Group had made such a sacrifice to lure Boss, she must be struggling internally. With this in mind, Kenneth stopped talking and only held her hand tightly in his.

There were some things she must get used to.

No words could work better than allowing her to adapt on her own.

Just like that, the car continued to cruise down the road.

Before nightfall, they hurried back.

Upon entering, they immediately heard Dave talking on the phone in the living room.

After they went in, Dave happened to hang up.

Seeing them enter hand in hand, a hint of obscurity flashed in Dave's eyes, and then he casually looked away. “Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I just went out for a casual stroll,” Kenneth said, then walked directly to the large table.

Dave walked over to him. “Kenneth, can you have some pity? I'm swamped here. Can you go to the base and give me a hand?”

However, Kenneth was unfazed and replied, “I wish I could, but after all these years of not handling the matters, I don't know how anymore.”

Dave knew it was just an excuse Kenneth came up with, so he glared at Kenneth. “How shameless.”

Kenneth chuckled lightly, then took out a bottle of wine from a paper bag and placed it on the table.

Dave's gaze gently swept across the room before landing on the phone. However, a moment later, his eyes were drawn back to the bottle of wine, and upon seeing it, he hesitated for a moment.

He immediately picked it up and looked at it with some agitation. Dave turned to Kenneth and started, “This is...”

“What?” Kenneth feigned ignorance as he asked in return.

“You know what I'm talking about!” Dave said excitedly.

At that moment, Natasha came over and explained softly, “Kenneth took me to the place where you guys started today and dug out this bottle of wine from under the tree. He said that it is the promise you made to each other.”

Upon hearing Natasha's words, Dave's lips curled up, and he looked at Kenneth, “You sneaky little guy. You actually went there without telling me!”

“I didn't sneak off or anything. You see, the operation is about to begin, and I thought I'd take Nat for a walk around. I couldn't think of where to go, so I just took her over there to have a look and brought the wine back for you while I was at it,” Kenneth said.

No matter what he said, Dave's attention was focused on that bottle of wine. It was not just a bottle of wine; it was a symbol of their promises and the passage of time.

Dave looked at it with a smile, and Kenneth was also watching from the side with a faint grin on the corners of his mouth.

The two burly men looked at a bottle of wine, and although they were smiling, Natasha could feel their excitement.

“I'll get two glasses for you guys,” Natasha said and then went to find the glasses.

At this moment, Dave looked at Kenneth and asked, “So, should we finish it today?”

Kenneth also picked up the wine and looked at it. “I haven't had this kind of wine in many years. Today, I'll... reluctantly accompany you for a drink.” As he spoke, Kenneth raised his eyes and teasingly looked at Dave.

Dave looked at him and could not help but laugh.

At that moment, Natasha brought over two glasses. As Dave opened the wine and was about to pour it, he realized there were only two glasses. He asked Natasha, “Aren't you going to have some?”

“No, this belongs to you guys. I won't participate!” Natasha refused.

However, at this moment, Kenneth directly grabbed her. “No, this belongs to us.”

With that said, he went straight to where she was to get a glass and placed it on the table.

Natasha watched with uncertainty about what to say.

At that moment, Dave voiced out, “Kenneth is right. This belongs to all of us. Since you're with Kenneth, you naturally get a share.” As he spoke, he directly poured half a glass for Natasha.

Then, the three of them sat together in a circle.

Dave looked at the wine in his glass, and his gaze grew increasingly profound. “I never thought time would pass so quickly. Just like that, more than a decade has gone by...”
