You're Out Daddy

Chapter 328

When Kenneth turned around and glared at Zachary, his eyes glowed with the kind of hatred that

seemed as though it could consume everything.

Zachary's lips curved into a smile. It seemed the guy could tell that Kenneth was angry because the

former's eyes also glowed tauntingly.

At the very next second, however, Kenneth laughed. “It seems you have paid extra attention to my

matters, Mr. Lynch.”

“Oh, I wouldn't say that I paid extra attention. Your cruelty simply sent a chill down my spine,” replied

Zachary.

“In that case, you should be careful not to step on my toes. If you do, I might just do something so bad

that it sends a chill down every single bone in your body,” threatened Kenneth menacingly.

Those words prompted Zachary to narrow his eyes once more.

“Oh, and one more thing,” said Kenneth as he grinned mockingly. “Since you are so heartbroken for

her, then may I suggest that you be her hero and save her? I will wish you both a lifetime of happiness

together.”

After that, Kenneth turned around once more. He held Natasha and Denise's hands before entering the

building.

Anthony and Benjamin raised their brows a little before they followed along.

Zachary was left alone in the street. As he watched everyone move away, his gaze became dark.

On the other side, Kenneth's jaw was clenched in the elevator, and the aura he exuded was extremely

hostile.

Denise reached out and tugged his sleeve lightly before cautiously asking, “Daddy, are you angry?”

Kenneth quickly readjusted his stance and turned to Denise. He smiled and lied, “Not at all. I won every

round, so why would I be angry?”

Denise didn't sigh a breath of relief until she heard those words. Still, when she looked at him, she

couldn't help commenting, “I guess you're right. There's no reason for you to be angry since you got Mr.

Zach so furious that he was all mean earlier.”

Kenneth scoffed, “He had it coming.”

Denise pouted at that moment and complained in a childish tone, “And another thing, Daddy, shouldn't

you consider my wellbeing, even when you are putting on an act with my brother? I've already turned

the gift down, so why must you insist on exposing my lies? It was so awkward for me!”

Kenneth grinned when he thought about that. “Sorry. I will let you know in advance the next time I do

something like that.”

“No, there will not be the next time,” insisted Denise.

Kenneth couldn't help smiling at that. He was rather happy with his daughter's reaction.

Anthony turned to Kenneth and frowned a little. “So... Is what Zachary said earlier true?”

Kenneth shifted his gaze to Anthony. The former seemed to have recalled something crucial because

the glow in his eyes changed when he said, “Huh? What do you mean?”

“Zachary hinted that you sent that woman away. Is that true?” asked Anthony. He found that to be

rather strange.

Kenneth thought about it for a while before replying, “What do you think?”

Anthony frowned. He was about to answer that question when Kenneth grinned mischievously and

offered, “Call me 'Daddy' again, and I'll tell you the truth.”

Anthony was speechless.

He blushed red when he thought about what had happened earlier.

At the time, he simply wanted to put on a show for Zachary and had uttered that word instinctively.

He never expected Kenneth to pay attention to any of that.

Kenneth's words brought everyone around and reminded them of what had happened earlier. They

simultaneously looked at Anthony.

Anthony was blushing so much that his face was almost as red as an apple.

Kenneth saw that and couldn't help grinning. An inexplicable joy spread out in his heart. Seeing

Zachary there was an unpleasant experience, but it was undeniable that the guy showing up had

benefitted Kenneth a lot.

If nothing else, hearing Anthony calling him Daddy was more than enough to make up for the

unpleasantness Zachary caused.

A few pairs of eyes were stuck on Anthony at the moment.

“Tony, are you going to start calling him Daddy, too?” asked Denise.

Anthony was about to answer when the elevator's bell rang. He turned around and ran out of the

elevator as though he were fleeing.

Benjamin worried that he would be teased next, so he quickly followed along.

Denise and Kenneth turned to one another when they saw how the boys reacted. Neither could resist

smiling at that.

Natasha made her way past them at that moment. When she saw how happy they were, she asked,

“Aren't you celebrating just a tad too early?”

“Is this too early?” replied Kenneth.

“Yes, obviously,” answered Natasha before she exited the elevator as well.

The father-daughter duo became the only ones left in the elevator.

“Has Ben started calling you Daddy?” asked Denise as they walked out of the elevator together.

Defeated, Kenneth shook his head.

“It'll be fine. You managed to get Tony to change. Getting Ben to change will be a piece of cake

compared to that,” replied Denise.

Kenneth narrowed his gaze and said, “I think you might have underestimated Ben.”

“No way. They might not say it out loud, but they've already accepted you,” declared Denise.

“Really?”

“Yeah,” replied Denise while nodding. “They told me that themselves.”

Kenneth grinned, but his gaze shone in a way that suggested that he was thinking about something

else.

Just then, Denise suddenly recalled the mission entrusted to her. She turned to Kenneth and asked,

“Daddy, can I ask you a question?”

“What is it?”

“When will you get back together with Mommy?”

Kenneth sighed at the mention of that. “Shouldn't you be asking your mom about that? Do I look like

the one who gets to decide?”

I guess he is right about that. Denise blinked before asking, “B-But aren't the two of you already

sharing a room? Why hasn't Nat taken you back?”

“It's strange, right? That Nat can be so irresponsible sometimes,” complained Kenneth before putting

on an exaggerated pout.

“Nat is not an irresponsible person!” insisted Denise before she turned to Kenneth. “Daddy, did you do

something to upset Nat again?”

“What kind of a question is that? Is this how you see me?” asked Kenneth.

“I was just analyzing the situation,” responded Denise while grinning.

“Then do you think I have the guts to get her upset at a crucial time like this?” challenged Kenneth.

Denise thought about it before answering, “Logically speaking, that is unlikely.”

“Then you have your answer.”

Denise scanned Kenneth from head to toe before commenting, “Daddy, your expression earlier made

you look like one of those henpecked men from the television shows.”

Kenneth wasn't angry to hear that. In fact, he proudly put his head up and asked, “Do you really think

so?”

“Yes, definitely,” replied Denise as she nodded.

“Then you should go share that information with Nat and see how she reacts to it,” suggested Kenneth

while smiling.

“Oh, come on. Daddy, where is the powerful CEO within you?” asked Denise.

“Your mom has kidnapped and bound him.”

Denise couldn't help giggling at that. “You know, all the strong women on TV found powerful men to be

irresistible. Daddy, could the problem be that you are too lenient toward Nat?”

“Do you really think that is the case?”

Denise nodded. “You have to show your true colors and be more aggressive toward Mommy. Be a little

unreasonable. If needed, just press her against a wall. That should help.”

Kenneth shifted his gaze to Denise. “Are you sure about that?”

“Couldn't hurt to try.”

“What if she beats me up?”

“Then... you can change tactics afterward,” suggested Denise.

Kenneth chuckled and answered, “You really shouldn't teach others what to do without first considering

the consequences.”

“That's how things are on TV! If you get slapped and simply can't get out of it, then pretend to be in a

pitiful position.”

Kenneth was speechless.

He stared at Denise, and she grinned in response. “You can't just sit idly by and have to try something,

anyway. I wish you all the luck in getting Nat, Daddy.”

They reached their home just as their conversation ended. Denise signaled Kenneth with her gaze

before running into Anthony's room.

As Kenneth watched Denise run, he smiled. His gaze shifted to Natasha at the very next second.
