You're Out Daddy

Chapter 317

At the side, Terence stared at Natasha with pursed lips. He hesitated for a long while before asking,

“Tell me the truth, Nat. Did you and Kenneth—”

“No!” she cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

Of course, he knew she wouldn't lie to him, but after giving it some thought, he still said, “I don't think

Kenneth's interest in you has gone down. If you really have no interest in him, you should tell him that.”

“I was saying we haven't reconciled yet, Grandpa!”

“What do you mean?”

“It means what you think it means!” She smiled.

He understood instantly. “You made up your mind already?”

“Not yet, but you know me, Grandpa. I haven't changed. I'm still the same person as the little girl back

then.”

He knew, of course. The children of the Watson family are all cut from the same stubborn cloth. Once

they make a decision, it'll be difficult to change their minds. Even after Kenneth did that horrible thing,

she could only default to not talking to him and wanting nothing to do with him. Nevertheless, it's

difficult for her to change how she feels deep down.

And so he nodded at her. “I hope Kenneth will understand and won't disappoint you again.”

“If I don't have high hopes, I won't get disappointed, Grandpa!”

“If you don't have high hopes, then why do you want to get married?” Terence didn't agree with that

point of view.

Natasha smiled. “Grandpa, in every romantic relationship, everyone has the right to end it whenever

they want. No one can predict or restrict it. What anyone can do is prepare for it. If that day comes,

they'll be able to accept it with grace. Maybe that day will never come, which is yet another option.

Regardless, as long as we don't have expectations, we won't be disappointed.”

His eyebrows furrowed as he listened. He didn't like what he was hearing, but he couldn't deny it was

wise.

Humans were unpredictable.

Even if someone made a rock-solid promise, so what? People could still change their minds one day,

and there would be nothing anyone could do.

While Natasha's perspective was a little pessimistic, he was still glad to hear it because it meant she

wouldn't fall into despair when that day did come.

Terence stared at her. “Nat, I have been holding on to this belief that one day, I wouldn't be able to take

care of you anymore. It's why I want to find someone to take care of you. However, I understand now.

In reality, no matter who I hand you to, I won't ever feel at ease. So, I won't force you anymore. I

believe you know what to do. Feel free to do what you want if you want to!”

“If you're worried about me, you can take care of me for the rest of your life!” Natasha sniffled a little.

“I want to, but I'm old now!”

“Grandpa!”

“All right, all right, I'm not old. I'll take care of you for the rest of my life!” he uttered lovingly.

That managed to make her smile.

“Is it Kenneth's idea to move?” Terence suddenly asked.

That stunned her for a moment.

Terence added, “Liam and that grandson of his sure work well with each other. Do they think I can't

tell? They're probably having some ideas about you.”

“I've considered it thoroughly, Grandpa. I hope you can stay with Old Mr. Hamilton. This way, both of

you can take care of each other.”

“What? You think the two of us can't take care of each other while living together?”

“I still need to work and occasionally go on business trips, so I can't always stay by your side. If you live

with Old Mr. Hamilton and Dan, I'll feel more at ease!”

Terence sighed resignedly. “Fine. If it makes you feel better, I'll do what you want.”

Natasha smiled. “Don't worry; I'll stay there every now and then.”

That prompted him to sneer. “If you live there, you'll be fulfilling Kenneth's wish.”

She simply listened with a raised eyebrow instead of saying anything.

Once their conversation concluded, they returned to where they came from.

Liam stared at them, waiting to hear their decision.

It was then Natasha spoke. “When do you plan to move, Old Mr. Hamilton?”

“I can leave whenever possible!”

“Then feel free to pick a good day and move in with Grandpa!”

He immediately asked, “You agreed to it, Terence?”

“Of course I did. I can't risk you ruining the house if you move in alone,” Terence replied.

Liam wasn't going to be petty about it. As long as Terence was willing to move in, he would be happy.

“You're right. If you don't move in, I may tear the place apart!”

Terence smiled, but not genuinely.

Nonetheless, at that moment, Liam didn't care. He turned to face Dan. “Quickly, go and pick a good day

for me to move in!”

Dan responded swiftly, “I'll go and do that right now!”

“Just choose the most recent date!”

“Understood!” Dan promptly left to pick a good day for Liam to move in.

It was then Denise, who was watching from the sideline, asked, “So I'll be living with Gramps and

Great-grandpa in the future?”

“Yes, that's the plan!” Liam smiled.

“This means I'll get double the love every day from that day onward!” The girl sounded excited.

Benjamin and Anthony really wanted their family to live together. In spite of this, they felt helpless when

considering the possibility that one day, they might be forced to pick a side after the two old men

argued while playing chess.

The boys exchanged a glance with a faint smile.

The edges of Natasha's lips curved upward slightly as she watched.

Inside a room within a hotel, the man that people called “Boss” was sitting on the sofa cross-legged.

There was a lazy expression on his face as he played with a small army knife. His yellow pupils were

slightly constricted. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

In front of him sat a man. That man was staring at the computer, and he stayed silent for a long while

before speaking up. “Boss, the news has arrived.”

Boss returned to his senses and asked, “How was it?”

“They failed...”

“Failed?”

“When they were infiltrating J's computer, a skilled hacker interrupted them, so they failed.”

“A skilled hacker?” Boss' eyes narrowed.

“Yes. According to them, their position was even exposed!”

Fury was rising in Boss' heart, though he quickly suppressed it in order to analyze the situation calmly.

“I can't believe there's someone that skillful by J's side!”

“Boss, what do we do now? J will definitely know we're the ones behind the attack. We'll be in danger

here!”

“What? Are you afraid?”

“I am afraid. If we return without completing the mission, the general won't let us go!”
