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

Chapter 1066 A Qualified Heir

Looking at her, Thalia suddenly asked, “What about you?”

“What?”

“You always strive to prevent others from feeling upset, but have you ever asked yourself if you're truly okay?” Thalia asked.

Natasha was slightly taken aback. She asked, “Is that important?”

“Why isn't it important?” Thalia retorted, “Nat, although I greatly admire your way of handling things, your ability to cover all bases, as a friend, I still hope you can be yourself. You have emotions, and you can let them out. At times, you don't have to worry about others!”

Natasha looked at her and responded, “Not everyone cries when they're falling apart, and not everyone sobs when they're sad. I'm better at self-regulation. Moreover, I'm not repressed. On the contrary, I've received too many favors in the first half of my life. Everyone has helped me. Now, it's time for me to give back.”

Thalia nodded. “All right, then. It's your life, after all. I don't fully understand your past, but as long as you know what you're doing, that's what matters. Remember, you should always put yourself first, no matter what.”

Natasha looked at her and smiled slightly. “I know.”

Thalia nodded at her.

Suddenly, Natasha looked at her and asked, “What about you? What's your plan?”

Upon hearing the question, Thalia shook her head. “Me? What plans could I possibly have?”

“What I mean is, how long do you plan to stay here?” Natasha asked.

Thalia paused for a moment before answering, “It all depends on Anthony. Whenever he leaves, that's when I'll leave.”

Natasha gave a slight nod in response.

Seeing that, Thalia sized her up and asked, “What's the matter? Can't bear to part?”

“Isn't it quite normal to feel that way?” Natasha retorted.

Upon hearing this, Thalia nodded and said, “Indeed, it's normal. But if you show even the slightest hint of reluctance, I bet Anthony and Benjamin won't be able to leave!”

“They are all children with clear minds who, despite their reluctance, will make their own choices.”

“I actually asked him about this,” Thalia said. “He made it clear to me that if you're not willing, he would stay here, start a business, make some money, just to be with you all the time.”

Natasha asked, “Do you think I would allow him to do that?”

Thalia looked at her and smiled slightly. “Of course not.”

“He wouldn't do that, either,” Natasha said with absolute certainty.

Thalia broke into a smile. “Natasha, do you know how charming you are?”

Natasha was taken aback by her question.

“Out of all the women I've ever met, you are the most captivating,” Thalia praised.

“Could it be that you just don't know enough people?” Natasha retorted.

“Thalia, do I not know enough people? Nat, are you lacking confidence in yourself?”

“I clearly lack confidence in you...”

“It's so taxing to chat with you!” Thalia grumbled.

Natasha laughed.

Seeing her laugh, Thalia also felt a sense of relief in her heart.

On the way back, seeing Natasha's constant look of worry, she was very concerned. At that moment, however, seeing her like that, she could finally put her mind at ease. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Did Old Mr. Hamilton give you any trouble?” Thalia suddenly asked.

Natasha shook her head. “No.”

“Indeed, he's an enlightened old man, able to remain rational under such circumstances. Truly remarkable,” said Thalia.

Natasha nodded indisputably. “Indeed.”

“No matter what, the outcome is always better than what you imagine, so rest assured,” Thalia said as she looked at Natasha.

All of a sudden, Natasha called out, “Thalia.”

“Hmm?”

“When will you be taking Anthony with you?” Natasha asked.

“Um, it's not decided yet. It depends on Anthony, but there should be no rush...”

“What I mean is, leave earlier!” Natasha said.

Thalia looked at her as if she had misheard. “W-What do you mean?”

“There's no point lingering. Leave as soon as you can.”

“No. I'm not even in a hurry yet. Why are you?” Thalia asked.

After some thought, Natasha looked at her and said, “I'm afraid if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to.”

“Can't leave? Why? What does that mean?” Thalia asked.

Natasha didn't say much. Instead, she merely uttered, “In any case, you should plan for this matter as soon as possible. It's better to leave early than late.”

“Aren't you afraid of what Holden might do to Anthony?” Thalia asked. Before she came back, such things had already happened. Does she really not worry?

In response, Natasha answered calmly, “If he had wanted to do something to Anthony, we wouldn't be here talking so peacefully now.”

Back then, Holden certainly had the opportunity, but he chose to endure the painful blows rather than do anything to Anthony.

So, deep down, she still believed in the feelings they shared.

Thalia murmured, “Do you also know something about Holden?”

“Not really. It's just that I could tell from his eyes that day he had no intention of harming Anthony.”

Thalia looked at her in surprise. “Although I share your view, I've spent a lot of time with Holden and understand him. But you, something's off about you. You're willing to trust so much just based on a look?”

“Of course not,” Natasha denied. “I'm not some omnipotent being, nor would I risk their lives. I just trust the judgments you and Kyle make. If Holden really were the type to lose his cool and act irrationally, he wouldn't have made it this far.”

Hearing that, Thalia couldn't help but feel compelled to admit her point. With just a few simple sentences, she managed to convince me. Despite appearing to be someone who is indifferent to everything, at this moment, whatever he says seems as if it has been planned for a long time.

“You're right. Holden has always been a sensible and reliable man, but when it comes to revenge, he's truly relentless!” Thalia said.

“But his persistence doesn't mean he's lost his sanity. I believe it's just his way of venting. He won't harm Anthony!” Natasha was very certain.

“To be honest, I'm not even that sure myself!” said Thalia.

Instead of commenting more, Natasha merely said, “In any case, when the right opportunity comes, take them and leave.”

“May I ask why?”

“Because if he doesn't leave, he might have to face what he dislikes the most. So, I don't want to waste his talent,” said Natasha.

Thalia was still utterly confused. “What on earth does that mean?”

Seeing her bewildered expression, Natasha sighed helplessly, “What I mean is, if they don't leave soon, they might have to face returning to the company and learning how to become a qualified heir.”

Thalia was at a loss for words.
