You're Out Daddy

Chapter 370

Furthermore, Anthony had some of Theodore's blood, so there was a little bit of Theodore in Anthony.

A complicated look manifested on Terence's face as he stared at his great-grandson.

When Anthony realized Terence was staring at him in a daze, he waved his hand in front of him.

“Gramps? What's the matter?”

Terence recollected himself and looked at Anthony properly before giving the boy a smile. “Nothing.”

Then, his eyes flicked between the laptop and the boy. “Anthony, I saw you typing quickly earlier, and

you seemed to be familiar with computers. Are you?”

Anthony stiffened. He never thought that his great-grandfather had seen him do that. Stubbornly

insisting that he was unfamiliar with computers would be a lie that would be exposed in no time.

Thus, Anthony nodded after a beat. “I can't say that I'm familiar with it, but searching and typing aren't a

problem for me.”

Terence bobbed his head approvingly. “You're typing so well at such a young age. You must have

learned it from your mommy, right?”

“Of course. Nat's a programmer, and I'm her son; I can't embarrass her,” Anthony uttered.

Perhaps it was because Anthony had a pure and innocent look. Terence did not dwell on the topic too

much.

Furthermore, he did not believe that there were genes so dominant that they could stay in the family for

so long. One was already shocking, and two would be a miracle.

Moreover, while being gifted might be good news to others, Terence would rather have them be normal

people. All he wanted was for them to be healthy and safe.

Terence smiled at Anthony and said, “Yes. You've always been your mommy's pride.”

“Of course.”

“By the way, when will your mommy be back from her business trip?” Terence inquired as he took a sip

of his tea.

“A trip?” Anthony was stunned. “What trip?”

“Your mommy's on a business trip. Do you not know about that?”

Anthony was stunned. He shook his head as he looked at Terence. “Nat didn't tell me about this.

Where has she gone to?”

“Baykeep, I think,” Terence told him.

“Baykeep...” Anthony muttered under his breath. It was not that he did not believe Terence, but that he

knew Natasha too well.

She will never forget something like this. Even if her phone has run out of battery, she will still find a

way to inform us about her status. Yet, even now, I still can't get a hold of her. Unless... she's not on a

business trip at all!

Maybe it's because she doesn't want Gramps to worry about her. That's why she told him she was on a

trip. In contrast, she didn't tell us anything because she was afraid that we would figure something out

and try to stop her.

Maybe it's because she doesn't want Gramps to worry about her. That's why she told him she was on a

With that thought in mind, Anthony frowned.

Nat, have you planned out everything? Have you also guessed that I won't tell Gramps the truth after

finding out about this?

Despite the myriad of thoughts in his head, Anthony kept a look of nonchalance on his face.

As he watched Terence sip his tea, he asked, “Gramps, why didn't you play chess with Great-grandpa

today?”

Terence scoffed, “It's not as if he can win against me, and I have to go easy on him every time. I'd

rather not play with him.”

Just as Anthony was about to say something about that, Liam's voice came from behind him. “Ha!

Terence, you're getting bolder and bolder with your words. Okay, dare you play a round of chess with

me, and we'll see who's going easy on who!”

Terence turned around and said, “I won't play chess with you.”

“That's because you don't have the guts to, right?”

“Liam, learn to take others' kindness when they try not to embarrass you. Don't push your luck!”

“Who wants your kindness? Say it as it is—it's cowardice! Don't make it sound so fancy.”

“Liam, have you taken your medicine?”

“Taken my medicine? What does that have to do with me taking my medicine?”

“I'm afraid you'll get a heart attack when you lose if you don't take your medicine!”

“Terence, you really are bold with your words!”

The two started fighting again, and Anthony knew that they were not going to stop until they found out

who was better at chess or until a long while later.

Thus, he took the laptop and sneaked away.

After returning to his room, and just as Anthony was about to keep searching for Natasha's

whereabouts, his phone rang.

When he saw that it was a call from Kenneth, he froze for a brief second before picking it up.

“Hello.”

“Where are you?”

“At the manor.”

“Do you want to come out for a chat?”

“A chat?”

“Yes.”

“Just the two of us?”

“Of course not. Denise and Benjamin too,” Kenneth said.

Anthony did not know if Kenneth knew Natasha was gone, but it was a good opportunity for him to chat

with the man.

Therefore, he nodded and answered, “Sure.”

“I'll be at the manor soon. Tell Benjamin and Denise. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance.”

Without asking anymore questions, Anthony replied, “Okay.”

After ending the call, Anthony gave his laptop another glance. Even if he could track down where

Natasha was, he might not be able to go after her. After all, Natasha would surely come up with a good

plan to counter his tracking if she really did not want them to know where she was.

That was why Anthony did not dwell on it any longer and went to find Benjamin and Denise.

Half an hour later, just as the three of them reached the entrance of the manor, Kenneth arrived.

The moment Denise saw Kenneth stepping out of the car, she dashed over and cried out, “Daddy!”

Kenneth smiled at her.

Right then, Benjamin whispered into Anthony's ear, “Why is he suddenly taking us out?”

Anthony shook his head. “We'll find out soon.”

Benjamin followed Anthony toward Kenneth after a moment's contemplation.

Kenneth drove, and the three children sat behind.

Denise seemed thrilled. “Daddy, where are you taking us to?”

“Is there somewhere you'd like to go?”

“Huh? I want to eat good food!”

Kenneth's lips quirked up. “Is there nothing else you want besides food?”

Denise shook her head.

“All right. I'll take you to places with good food,” Kenneth said.

“Yay! Daddy's the best!” Denise cheered. However, a thought soon popped into her head. “Are we

going to invite Nat too?”

Kenneth tensed up at the mention of Natasha. Anthony had been looking at Kenneth, so he noticed the

stiff expression on the man's face.

“No. Nat's on a business trip, so I'll be taking you around today.”

“Nat's on a business trip?”

“When did she leave?”

Both Benjamin and Denise spoke at the same time.

“Last night. She left last night,” Kenneth replied.

Denise did not dwell on the matter, but she drew her brows together in disapproval. “Nat didn't even tell

me about this.”

“Maybe she was in a hurry to leave,” Kenneth said.

“Hmph! Nat will have to be punished when she's back,” Denise said with a huff.

Kenneth did not reply to that.

Benjamin was silent as he studied both Denise and Kenneth. Once their conversation was over, he

turned to Anthony, a glint in his eyes as if he had figured something out.

“I'll be ot the monor soon. Tell Benjomin ond Denise. I'll be woiting for you ot the entronce.”

Without osking onymore questions, Anthony replied, “Okoy.”

After ending the coll, Anthony gove his loptop onother glonce. Even if he could trock down where

Notosho wos, he might not be oble to go ofter her. After oll, Notosho would surely come up with o good

plon to counter his trocking if she reolly did not wont them to know where she wos.

Thot wos why Anthony did not dwell on it ony longer ond went to find Benjomin ond Denise.

Holf on hour loter, just os the three of them reoched the entronce of the monor, Kenneth orrived.

The moment Denise sow Kenneth stepping out of the cor, she doshed over ond cried out, “Doddy!”

Kenneth smiled ot her.

Right then, Benjomin whispered into Anthony's eor, “Why is he suddenly toking us out?”

Anthony shook his heod. “We'll find out soon.”

Benjomin followed Anthony toword Kenneth ofter o moment's contemplotion.

Kenneth drove, ond the three children sot behind.

Denise seemed thrilled. “Doddy, where ore you toking us to?”

“Is there somewhere you'd like to go?”

“Huh? I wont to eot good food!”

Kenneth's lips quirked up. “Is there nothing else you wont besides food?”

Denise shook her heod.

“All right. I'll toke you to ploces with good food,” Kenneth soid.

“Yoy! Doddy's the best!” Denise cheered. However, o thought soon popped into her heod. “Are we

going to invite Not too?”

Kenneth tensed up ot the mention of Notosho. Anthony hod been looking ot Kenneth, so he noticed the

stiff expression on the mon's foce.

“No. Not's on o business trip, so I'll be toking you oround todoy.”

“Not's on o business trip?”

“When did she leove?”

Both Benjomin ond Denise spoke ot the some time.

“Lost night. She left lost night,” Kenneth replied.

Denise did not dwell on the motter, but she drew her brows together in disopprovol. “Not didn't even tell

me obout this.”

“Moybe she wos in o hurry to leove,” Kenneth soid.

“Hmph! Not will hove to be punished when she's bock,” Denise soid with o huff.

Kenneth did not reply to thot.

Benjomin wos silent os he studied both Denise ond Kenneth. Once their conversotion wos over, he

turned to Anthony, o glint in his eyes os if he hod figured something out.
