You're Out Daddy

Chapter 681

Meanwhile, right as Natasha came out of the bathroom, she heard someone calling her name in a low

voice behind her.

“Nat.”

When she turned around, Kenneth darted over to her and pinned her against the wall before kissing

her.

Natasha's heart skipped a beat when she saw Kenneth's attractive face a hair's breadth away from

hers.

She kept her eyes open at the start, but as Kenneth deepened the kiss, she gradually let her eyes

flutter close.

After what seemed like an eternity, Kenneth slowly let go of her.

His forehead remained plastered to hers as Natasha panted. When he saw her reddened lips, he

smiled.

“What are you smiling at?” she asked.

“Nothing. I just find you beautiful right now,” Kenneth replied.

Natasha glanced at him for a moment as she panted. “So you're hoping that this kiss will pacify me?”

“You're finally admitting that you're angry.”

“I'm not admitting anything, but aren't you doing this just to find out if I'm really angry?”

Kenneth gazed at her quietly.

A beat later, Natasha said, “Kenneth, I told you I'm not angry.”

“But you—”

“I was upset initially, but Kenneth, I trust you, and I trust that everything you say and do is for my sake,

so I'm genuinely not angry.”

Kenneth was stunned for a long while. “Do you really think that?”

Natasha nodded. “Yes.”

“What if I've said some untruthful things?”

“If it's not for my sake, I'll be mad. If it is, I won't,” Natasha said, shaking her head.

Kenneth smiled at that. It was then he finally felt at ease.

When he saw the damp state of her hair, he uttered, “I don't know why, but I'm feeling both relief and

somewhat disappointed.”

“Huh?”

Kenneth looked into her eyes and mulled over his thoughts for a considerable amount of time before

answering, “Nothing. This is something you'll probably understand when the right time comes.”

Natasha did not dwell on his words for long. “Then we'll leave this for the future us. I have something to

attend to now.”

Natasha pulled his hand away from her and walked to the side.

Kenneth ended up hugging the air. As he watched her leave, he asked, “What are you going to do?”

Natasha did not give him an answer as she walked to the computer.

Seeing that, Kenneth went to the cabinet to grab the hairdryer to dry her hair.

While Natasha was fully focused on using the computer, Kenneth would glance at the screen every

once in a while as he dried her hair.

When he saw what was on her screen, he stiffened. Nevertheless, he continued blow-drying her hair.

Only when her hair was mostly dry did he put the hairdryer aside to sit beside her.

“Nat, what are you planning to do?”

Silence answered him.

“Are you going to invite Thalia to a meeting as Shadow Seeker?” he continued.

Natasha turned to him slowly. “Yes.”

Kenneth furrowed his brows in worry. “Nat, putting aside whether or not this will be useful, what if she

still insists on not coming back even if you meet her as Shadow Seeker?”

“I'll make a promise with her before I meet her. Thalia's one to stick to her promises, so I'm sure she'll

keep her word,” Natasha said confidently.

Kenneth had mostly guessed what Natasha's plan was. After a period of hesitation, he said somberly,

“Nat, you'll end up in danger. As I said, the lesser people who know about this, the better.”

Natasha mulled over his words, but her response was, “I know, but I still believe in her.”

“Nat...”

“Kenneth, Thalia's like us. Maybe we're both people who don't have long to live, so the identity issue

doesn't matter to me right now. What's most important right now is to have Thalia by our side.”

She knew well how it felt to be caught in the throes of the poison activating in her body.

She had to get Thalia to return to their side. That way, she would at least have someone taking care of

her when she was caught in the episode. Otherwise, it would be a difficult time to endure on her own.

Kenneth held her hands and said, “Nat, you'll be fine. I won't let anything happen to you.”

Looking at him, Natasha forced herself to curl her lips. “Mm, I know. I'm just assuming the worst.”

Kenneth pursed his lips. “Okay, then. I'll respect your thoughts.”

This time, it was Natasha who reached out for his hands. “Don't worry. Thalia's been looking for me for

a long time. She has been wanting to get me to join Darknetz, so she definitely won't expose my

identity and let any other organizations headhunt me.”

“So you mean to say you and Thalia go back a long way?”

Natasha nodded. “Something like that, so you really don't need to worry about this.”

Kenneth bobbed his head. “Okay.”

Right then, a grumbling sound could be heard from Natasha's stomach.

Upon hearing that, Kenneth asked, “Are you hungry?”

Natasha looked down at her stomach. “Yeah.”

“You didn't skip your meals the whole day, did you?”

“Hmm... I think I did.”

Kenneth immediately gave her a frown.

Seemingly realizing something, Natasha uttered, “You go down and get ready first. I'll get changed and

join you in a bit.”

Kenneth arched a brow at her. “Get changed?”

“Mm.”

“Then... do you need my help? It's free.”

Natasha nearly choked on her saliva. “It's fine. Just go outside.” She rose to her feet and started

pushing Kenneth out of the room.

Kenneth let her do as she pleased helplessly. He turned around to look at her only when he was by the

doorway. “Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs. Don't take too long.”

“All right.”

Glancing at the time, Kenneth added, “Five minutes.”

“Sure.”

Finally, Kenneth exited the room.

Natasha closed the door behind him.

The smile she had on her face dropped almost instantaneously.

When she turned around to look at the phone that was on the table, her gaze turned icy.

She walked over, picked up the phone, and hesitated for a second before walking to the balcony to

make a call.

Looking ot him, Notosho forced herself to curl her lips. “Mm, I know. I'm just ossuming the worst.”

Kenneth pursed his lips. “Okoy, then. I'll respect your thoughts.”

This time, it wos Notosho who reoched out for his honds. “Don't worry. Tholio's been looking for me for

o long time. She hos been wonting to get me to join Dorknetz, so she definitely won't expose my

identity ond let ony other orgonizotions heodhunt me.”

“So you meon to soy you ond Tholio go bock o long woy?”

Notosho nodded. “Something like thot, so you reolly don't need to worry obout this.”

Kenneth bobbed his heod. “Okoy.”

Right then, o grumbling sound could be heord from Notosho's stomoch.

Upon heoring thot, Kenneth osked, “Are you hungry?”

Notosho looked down ot her stomoch. “Yeoh.”

“You didn't skip your meols the whole doy, did you?”

“Hmm... I think I did.”

Kenneth immediotely gove her o frown.

Seemingly reolizing something, Notosho uttered, “You go down ond get reody first. I'll get chonged ond

join you in o bit.”

Kenneth orched o brow ot her. “Get chonged?”

“Mm.”

“Then... do you need my help? It's free.”

Notosho neorly choked on her solivo. “It's fine. Just go outside.” She rose to her feet ond storted

pushing Kenneth out of the room.

Kenneth let her do os she pleosed helplessly. He turned oround to look ot her only when he wos by the

“All right.”

Gloncing ot the time, Kenneth odded, “Five minutes.”

Finolly, Kenneth exited the room.

The smile she hod on her foce dropped olmost instontoneously.

When she turned oround to look ot the phone thot wos on the toble, her goze turned icy.

She wolked over, picked up the phone, ond hesitoted for o second before wolking to the bolcony to
