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

Anthony was sitting in the living room, typing away on his computer.

At that moment, the door swung open, and Thalia walked in.

The moment she stepped in, her gaze immediately fell upon the small figure, giving him a casual glance as she did.

Without lifting his head, Anthony asked, "Have you finished your phone call?"

Thalia let out a sigh, closed the door, and walked straight toward him.

Anthony lifted his gaze, his eyes meeting hers. Before he could utter a word, Thalia reached out, seizing his ear in her grip.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Anthony repeatedly exclaimed.

"Does it hurt?" Thalia looked at him. "You still know what pain feels like?"

"Of course! Can't you just speak properly? Can you let go first?" Anthony asked her, looking into her eyes.

Thalia looked at him, and after heaving a deep sigh, she finally let him go.

Anthony rubbed his ear, which had turned red from being pinched, and looked up at Thalia. "Why are you so angry? I was just trying to help you!"

"Are you helping me, or are you trying to make us fight each other?" Thalia asked.

Anthony looked at her. Let me ask you this. Have you ever lost your temper with Spencer?"

Thalia shook her head. "Not at all!"

"What about today?"

"Today was the first time." As Thalia spoke, her voice had significantly softened.

Anthony looked at her. "Actually, you can feel it yourself. In this relationship, you've always been the one treading carefully, nurturing it, afraid that any misstep might scare the other person away!" "I... I haven't..." Thalia averted her gaze, clearly reluctant to admit it.

Whether admitted or not, it evidently didn't matter much.

As Anthony fell into silence, Thalia looked at him and said, "Don't try to change the subject on me. What are you really trying to say?"

"What I mean to say is that you've always been so careful and protective of your feelings for each other, which made them somewhat fragile. But today was different. You yelled at him. You were harsh with him and it only made your bond stronger!"

Thalia narrowed her eyes. "Did I hear that wrong? You're saying our relationship has become stronger because we argued?"

Just as she was about to reach out and grab his ear, Anthony immediately blocked her hand. "Don't be so rude. Wait until I finish speaking!"

"Do you need to continue? You, with your deceitful tongue, I must teach you a lesson today!" With that, Thalia made a move as if to hit him.

However, in the next moment, Anthony stepped directly in front of her. "I have another question for you. When you yelled at Spencer, what did he say? What did he do?"

"What could he say? Of course, he said he wouldn't leave or abandon me!"

"That's it. Doesn't Spencer now look like how my dad was with my mom?" Anthony asked.

Hearing that, Thalia suddenly halted her actions, carefully pondering what Anthony had said.

On the side, Anthony continued, "If you're angry, he should appease you. Even if you lose your temper, he should still comfort you. This is what it looks like when a man truly cares about you in his heart. If not, it means that you're not in his heart."

Thalia's gaze turned toward Anthony.

"What was Spencer's attitude like?"

"He was appeasing me."

Anthony's lips curled up into a smile when he heard that. "So that's it. How does it feel? Does it feel like you're only just experiencing love now?"

Upon hearing his words, Thalia felt an unusual sensation stirring within her.

"It does feel a bit different!"

A proud smile tugged at the corners of Anthony's mouth. He then took a seat in front of the computer, saying, "No need for excessive gratitude!"

Listening to his words, Thalia

lowered her gaze, her eyes landing on him. "Thank you? Your ability to change the subject now can be said to have reached its peak. Not only did not receive the money, but I was also tricked by you!"

Anthony raised an eyebrow. "You noticed that?”

With a cold laugh, Thalia strode directly toward the nearby couch and settled herself down. A voice, content and languid, echoed. "I am magnanimous. I won't bicker with you, but that doesn't mean I'm a fool!" Watching her retreating figure, Anthony raised his eyebrows. "So, are you saying you don't want the money?"

Thalia immediately turned around, her gaze fixed on him. "Yes, of course, I want it. These are two separate matters. Moreover, not a single penny can be less!"

"No. I didn't even ask for your gratitude fee, and yet you're asking me for money?"

"Like I said, these are two separate matters. Besides, I was the one who helped you, not the other way around, so..." Thalia looked at him with a slight smile. "Not a penny less!"

Observing her plutomania demeanor, Anthony let out a heavy sigh. "All right. If that's the case, I won't say anything more!"

"Same old rules!"

Directly, Anthony made an OK gesture toward her.

Anthony stared at the computer, remaining silent.

At that moment, Thalia glanced sideways at him, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Look for something!" Anthony exclaimed.

"What are you looking for?" Thalia asked.

"Just a casual inquiry," Anthony said nonchalantly.

How could his serious demeanor be just a casual inquiry? Thalia didn't buy it. With a swift turn, she leaped up from the couch, moving closer to Anthony. She peered at the computer and said, "Let me have a look."

Anthony didn't hide, nor did he conceal anything. He continued to tap away on his computer.

After observing for a moment, Thalia furrowed her eyebrows. "What on earth is this?"

"If you don't understand, why do you still read?"

Thalia glanced at him. "Are all these things from that person's computer?"

With a surprised raise of his eyebrows, Anthony asked, "I thought you couldn't understand it?"

"Even if I can't understand anything else, I can at least understand the address, right?" Thalia said.

Anthony raised an eyebrow. "In the end, I was overthinking it..."

"Cut to the chase. What have you found?" Thalia asked directly.

Anthony looked at the computer. "Well, there's nothing to be found!"

"Why are you staring at the screen so intently, then?" Thalia glanced at him.

Anthony glanced at her. "I wasn't finished speaking yet!"

"At such a young age, you can't even finish your sentences!" Thalia looked at him. "Go on!"

"Indeed, nothing suspicious has

been found on the computer, but I can see his online searches. He searched for information about Lobeck. The relationship between him and Lobeck must be more complex than just a simple feud among friends!"

Hearing that, Thalia let out a cold laugh. "I knew it. His deliberate act of feigning weakness was just too obvious!"

"In that case, how much credibility do you think he has?"

"How credible it is depends on the evidence he brings!" Thalia said, straightening up, crossing her arms over her chest, appearing languidly content.

"What if there's nothing at all?"

"Trust me, he definitely has it!" Thalia asserted confidently.

"I'm just wondering... What if his evidence isn't sufficient to prove it?" Anthony said.

Holden was worried that he simply couldn't delay things for such a long duration.

Thalia was looking at him and enunciated, "the evidence is insufficient, then continue the

investigation. You've been investigating this for over a decade. What's there to worry about?

believe there must be an answer and a conclusion!"
