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

Chapter 37

“Stop bringing her up,” Kenneth suddenly said.

Liam was stunned for a moment before replying, “Are you talking about Nat?”

Kenneth pursed his lips, his eyes flaring with coldness.

Liam stared at him. “Have you made up your mind?”

“I always knew what I wanted.”

Liam could not help but smile. There's no way I don't think what my grandson is thinking. I raised him, after all! Although he says he doesn't like her, his actions say otherwise. “All right. I'll stop talking about her. If that's the case, have you taken a liking to Thea?”

At that moment, Thea had just returned from shopping and was going to enter. When she heard Liam bringing her up, she decided not to go inside but listen in, her heart beating like mad as she waited.

“These are two different matters,” Kenneth replied.

“How could this be two different matters? Or perhaps you think she'll continue to wait for you forever?” Liam pressed on.

Kenneth felt a bit exasperated from all the questions. “Does it mean that you accept her?”

“As long as you can get married as soon as possible and give birth to a greatgrandchild for the Hamilton family, I'll agree even if you marry a blind woman,” Liam answered.

Kenneth was rendered speechless.

However, Liam did not seem to be joking by how earnest he looked.

Meanwhile, Thea felt a surge of happiness while listening outside the door. She was always worried about Liam obstructing her relationship with Kenneth. Thus, despite feeling uncomfortable with Liam comparing her to a blind woman, she felt relaxed knowing he was at least not against her being together with Kenneth.

“I will do as I see fit,” Kenneth replied.

“All right. If that's the case, I'll give you one month to settle this,” Liam agreed.

One month? “Why don't you just sell me off?” Kenneth asked in exasperation.

“I don't have a choice. You're the only son in the family. If I could sell you, there's no way I'll keep you till now,” Liam answered sarcastically.

Kenneth was at a loss of words, for he was not a match for his grandfather in terms of arguing.

“I've always felt guilty toward your relationship with Nat. Now that I know she doesn't blame me and that both of you have parted on good terms, I can finally stop worrying about it. Later, I'll recommend a few suitable men for Nat.”

Kenneth furrowed his eyebrows and gazed at Liam. Although the latter seemed nonchalant, Kenneth knew he was doing it on purpose.

“Are you going to get her a new boyfriend?” Kenneth asked. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Liam nodded. “That's right.” “Don't you think it's inappropriate?” Kenneth was helpless.

“What's inappropriate about that? Both of you have already gotten a divorce. Besides, I'm happy she's still concerned about me and calls me Old Mr. Hamilton. That's why I wish for her to find someone to spend the rest of her life with. What's so improper about that? Or perhaps... are you against this idea?” Liam tried to pry.

Kenneth laughed coldly. “No way. I just don't want your kindness to go to waste.”

“What do you mean?”

“She already has a boyfriend,” Kenneth answered.

“She has a boyfriend? Why didn't I hear about this?” Liam furrowed his eyebrows.

Kenneth felt ironic recalling the sweet voice she put on while on the phone outside of Infinitium's restroom.

“It's not like she's obligated to tell you. Remember. You're my grandpa, not hers,”

Kenneth said in a matter-of-factly.

However, Liam was not interested in that. “How do you know she has a boyfriend?”

Kenneth furrowed his eyebrows and replied unwillingly, “I've seen him.”

“You've seen him? When? How is he like?” Liam pressed on.

Recalling the scene of them chatting happily in the cafe, Kenneth answered coldly, “So-so.”

After gazing at him, Liam secretly let out a sigh of relief. He knew his grandson best, after all. Although Kenneth pretended not to care, he was actually bothered about it.

“Well, at least the man has better taste than you,” Liam replied.

Kenneth snorted. “After he spends more time with her, he'll know that she's just a pretty face.”

“Didn't you call her a bumpkin before?” Liam had hit the nail on the head.

Kenneth felt that he could no longer continue the conversation. Thus, he stood up. “It's getting late, so you should rest earlier. I'll head home now.”

“All right, then. You should go back now. I'll chat with Nat and convince her to bring the man to meet me.” Liam's words were filled with provocation.

Kenneth decided to pretend he did not hear him.

When he made a move to leave, Thea entered the room and pretended she had heard nothing. “Are you leaving?” she asked Kenneth.

“You're still here?”

“I went out to buy some things for Old Mr. Hamilton.” After saying that, she walked over and placed some fruits aside. “After inquiring the doctor, I heard that fruits are good for you as you have low blood pressure and are slightly anemic. Thus, I've gone to buy some for you. Once you finish eating, I'll purchase more for you.”

Looking at her, Liam nodded. “How thoughtful of you. Thank you.”

“No thanks are needed. I should do it anyway,” Thea replied with a smile.

Kenneth had an unfathomable glint in his eyes while staring at her.

“All right. It's getting late, so I'll drop you off,” Kenneth said.

Nodding, Thea looked toward Liam. “I'll take my leave now.”

After Liam nodded, Thea and Kenneth left together.

When the duo went downstairs, Thea seemed to be in a good mood, while Kenneth did not say anything.

“Kenneth.”

“Huh?”

“Do you prefer boys or girls?” Thea suddenly asked.

At that, he furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean by this?”

“Nothing much. I'm just asking,” Thea replied, already imagining having children with him. Kenneth should like children too, right? After all, he seems to like being around other people's kids.

When she thought of that, she admired Kenneth's face. His thin lips were currently pursed, and his facial features seemed to be a carved scripture by how delicate they looked.

His appearance, ability, and intelligence were enough for people to flock to him.

This man is mine.

“Right. My dad and mom are returning to the country the day after tomorrow. Thus, I want to take a few days off to accompany them,” Thea said.

Kenneth nodded. “As you should. Have you arranged their accommodation?”

“Not yet. I wasn't sure of how long they intended to stay.”

“You can arrange for them to stay at Ridgewood Hotel. I'll foot the bill,” Kenneth offered.

Thea felt a sense of warmth in her heart.

“In that case, don't mind if I do. Let me thank you on behalf of my parents.”

Although Kenneth seemed unfazed, his words brightened Thea's mood.

Now that Natasha had a boyfriend, all Thea needed to do was quickly get together with Kenneth. Nothing could get in her way anymore if she managed to accomplish that.

As that thought occurred to her, Thea looked out the window. Come here quickly, Mom! I need you to give me advice.
