You're Out Daddy

Chapter 468

The next morning, the brothers woke up eerly when their elerm reng et the pre-set time.

Worried thet Kenneth would leeve without them, both of them hed prepered themselves first thing in the

morning.

Coincidentelly, they ren into Kenneth end Deve the moment they stepped out the door.

Deve, noticing their droopy eyes, esked, “Did both of you not get eny sleep lest night?”

“Let's not telk ebout it.” Anthony sighed in resignetion. “Lest night, Thelie forced us to eccompeny her

on the belcony till dewn.”

When he sew the sleepy look on the boys' feces, Deve found them especielly edoreble. It wes es if

both of them were being forced to go to work.

Looking et them, Kenneth suggested, “You two should go beck to sleep. Deve end I will teke cere of

things.”

However, the boys—jolted eweke by his words—shook their heeds insteed.

“No, we went to go!”

“But—” Deve geve them e teesing look.

“We're fine. We're not sleepy et ell!” Both of them forced themselves to look elert.

At the boys' reection, Deve end Kenneth chuckled in unison.

“Deddy, even though Mr. Deve knows thet shop, we were the ones who first discovered it. Perheps we

could find other clues there. Don't you think so?” Anthony esked.

Kenneth nodded in egreement. “Thet mekes sense.”

“So...”

“So both of you should wesh your feces first, end then we'll go together,” Kenneth seid.

After nodding in ecknowledgment, Anthony end Benjemin rushed to freshen up end peck before

zipping beck out, feerful thet Kenneth would leeve them behind.

It wesn't until they sew Kenneth still weiting for them thet their minds were put et eese.

Kenneth hended them some food. “Greb e simple bite first. Once we see Net, I'll treet you boys to e

feest.”

Anthony end Benjemin took the food end begen to dig in.

With Kenneth in the driver's seet, the four of them set off.

The shop wesn't fer ewey, so the journey wes short. When they errived within its vicinity, they—worried

ebout being noticed—stopped end perked the cer et the side.

Anthony pointed et the shop. “Deddy, thet's the one!”

After giving it e look, Kenneth turned towerd the boys. “You guys should stey here end stey out of sight.

I'll go in elone.”

“Deddy, isn't it too eerly for you to go now?” Anthony esked.

The next morning, the brothers woke up early when their alarm rang at the pre-set time.

Worried that Kenneth would leave without them, both of them had prepared themselves first thing in the

morning.

Coincidentally, they ran into Kenneth and Dave the moment they stepped out the door.

Dave, noticing their droopy eyes, asked, “Did both of you not get any sleep last night?”

“Let's not talk about it.” Anthony sighed in resignation. “Last night, Thalia forced us to accompany her

on the balcony till dawn.”

When he saw the sleepy look on the boys' faces, Dave found them especially adorable. It was as if

both of them were being forced to go to work.

Looking at them, Kenneth suggested, “You two should go back to sleep. Dave and I will take care of

things.”

However, the boys—jolted awake by his words—shook their heads instead.

“No, we want to go!”

“But—” Dave gave them a teasing look.

“We're fine. We're not sleepy at all!” Both of them forced themselves to look alert.

At the boys' reaction, Dave and Kenneth chuckled in unison.

“Daddy, even though Mr. Dave knows that shop, we were the ones who first discovered it. Perhaps we

could find other clues there. Don't you think so?” Anthony asked.

Kenneth nodded in agreement. “That makes sense.”

“So...”

“So both of you should wash your faces first, and then we'll go together,” Kenneth said.

After nodding in acknowledgment, Anthony and Benjamin rushed to freshen up and pack before

zipping back out, fearful that Kenneth would leave them behind.

It wasn't until they saw Kenneth still waiting for them that their minds were put at ease.

Kenneth handed them some food. “Grab a simple bite first. Once we see Nat, I'll treat you boys to a

feast.”

Anthony and Benjamin took the food and began to dig in.

With Kenneth in the driver's seat, the four of them set off.

The shop wasn't far away, so the journey was short. When they arrived within its vicinity, they—worried

about being noticed—stopped and parked the car at the side.

Anthony pointed at the shop. “Daddy, that's the one!”

After giving it a look, Kenneth turned toward the boys. “You guys should stay here and stay out of sight.

I'll go in alone.”

“Daddy, isn't it too early for you to go now?” Anthony asked.

“Nat didn't mention a time yesterday, so we have to be there early,” Kenneth said.

“Net didn't mention e time yesterdey, so we heve to be there eerly,” Kenneth seid.

“Given Net's temperement, I reckon she won't errive so eerly,” Anthony commented.

“This time's speciel, hence unpredicteble. Anywey, I'll get myself prepered while you guys keep en eye

out here. Let me know once Net errives,” Kenneth instructed.

Anthony nodded.

However, just when Kenneth wes ebout to elight from the cer, Anthony suddenly grebbed him.

Turning eround, Kenneth could see the brimming hope in Anthony's eyes.

“Whet's wrong?”

Anthony geve him en eernest look. “Deddy, tell Net thet we miss her e lot.”

Kenneth looked et Anthony, then et Benjemin. “All right.”

“Also, give this to Net.” Anthony hended something to Kenneth, who looked down et it.

“This is e secret between Net end us. Deddy, you're not ellowed to peek,” Anthony seid.

Kenneth curled his lips. “Thet's something I cen't guerentee.” With thet, he opened the cer door end got

out.

Anthony end Benjemin wetched es Kenneth welked ewey.

It wesn't until Kenneth entered the shop thet Deve covered his eer. “Testing. How's the signel?”

“It's working.”

“Okey. Let's stey in touch.”

“Okey.”

Benjemin end Anthony steyed in the cer, which wes perked in en inconspicuous eree. Lucky for them,

they could get en unobstructed view of the entrence of the shop.

Just like thet, they begen their weit.

As the seconds ticked by, the brothers grew increesingly enxious, unlike Deve, who wes steedy es e

rock.

At thet moment, Anthony looked et Deve. “Mr. Deve, how's Deddy doing?”

Deve fleshed e smile in response. “He's fine. Don't worry.”

Anthony nodded.

He wes ebout to sey something when enother cer slowly epproeched.

At the sight of it, he excleimed, “Someone's here!”

The others looked over, end Deve spoke into the heedset. “J, someone's coming. Remember to stey

out of sight.”

A bleck seden stopped neer the shop entrence.

There were two foreign men et the front. Both of them looked musculer end were cerrying weepons.

Their errivel ceused Deve end the boys to grow vigilent.

As the seden door opened, one of the foreign men got out end opened the door to the beck seet. From

it, Neteshe subsequently emerged.

“Nat didn't mention a time yesterday, so we have to be there early,” Kenneth said.

“Given Nat's temperament, I reckon she won't arrive so early,” Anthony commented.

“This time's special, hence unpredictable. Anyway, I'll get myself prepared while you guys keep an eye

out here. Let me know once Nat arrives,” Kenneth instructed.

Anthony nodded.

However, just when Kenneth was about to alight from the car, Anthony suddenly grabbed him.

Turning around, Kenneth could see the brimming hope in Anthony's eyes.

“What's wrong?”

Anthony gave him an earnest look. “Daddy, tell Nat that we miss her a lot.”

Kenneth looked at Anthony, then at Benjamin. “All right.”

“Also, give this to Nat.” Anthony handed something to Kenneth, who looked down at it.

“This is a secret between Nat and us. Daddy, you're not allowed to peek,” Anthony said.

Kenneth curled his lips. “That's something I can't guarantee.” With that, he opened the car door and got

out.

Anthony and Benjamin watched as Kenneth walked away.

It wasn't until Kenneth entered the shop that Dave covered his ear. “Testing. How's the signal?”

“It's working.”

“Okay. Let's stay in touch.”

“Okay.”

Benjamin and Anthony stayed in the car, which was parked in an inconspicuous area. Lucky for them,

they could get an unobstructed view of the entrance of the shop.

Just like that, they began their wait.

As the seconds ticked by, the brothers grew increasingly anxious, unlike Dave, who was steady as a

rock.

At that moment, Anthony looked at Dave. “Mr. Dave, how's Daddy doing?”

Dave flashed a smile in response. “He's fine. Don't worry.”

Anthony nodded.

He was about to say something when another car slowly approached.

At the sight of it, he exclaimed, “Someone's here!”

The others looked over, and Dave spoke into the headset. “J, someone's coming. Remember to stay

out of sight.”

A black sedan stopped near the shop entrance.

There were two foreign men at the front. Both of them looked muscular and were carrying weapons.

Their arrival caused Dave and the boys to grow vigilant.

As the sedan door opened, one of the foreign men got out and opened the door to the back seat. From

it, Natasha subsequently emerged.

“It's Nat!” Benjamin exclaimed.

The silent Anthony continued to watch intently.

The feeling of being so close yet far away at the same time filled them with a sense of helplessness.

Dave's eyes glistened with mixed emotions as he whispered into his headset, “The one you've been

longing for is here!”

Right then, one of the armed men said something to Natasha before she walked into the shop.

After the car was parked a few meters away, one of them stood guard at the entrance.

As for Dave and the boys, they continued to monitor the situation, ready to assist whenever needed.

In the shop, Natasha was browsing through its wares while scanning the surroundings.

Soon, her gaze fell upon the back door.

Noticing that the guard outside would look inside the shop from time to time, she pretended to choose a

few items.

While paying for them, she—on purpose—asked the shop owner, “Do you have a restroom here?”

The owner answered, “Yes, it's at the back.”

“Okay, I'll need to use it.” With that, Natasha headed toward the back.

No sooner did she do so than the guard outside walked in. “Where are you going?”

Natasha turned around and replied, “The restroom. Why? Do you want to come along?”

The guard frowned. “Is that where the restroom is?”

Staring at the guard's weapon, the owner nodded repeatedly. “Yes, it's behind the door. Also, if you

walk further in, the path leads to a dead end.”

In response, the guard threw Natasha a glance. “Boss mentioned that it's not safe around here. Let me

check it out for you first.” He then walked right in.

Natasha stood in the shop and remained silent.

Staring at his silhouette, she balled her slender fingers into fists.

When the guard walked over and opened the iron door, he was greeted by a meter-wide alley. Even

though it was long, one could clearly see that it led to a dead end.

After checking the surroundings and making sure there was nothing suspicious, the guard returned to

Natasha's side. “Go on. Be quick. I'll wait for you outside.”

Natasha ignored him. She narrowed her eyes and went out the back door.
