You're Out Daddy

Chapter 237 They Sure Have Lots Of Questions He didn’t want to bring up the dark past, nor did he

want them to know about it. Terence shifted his gaze toward Anthony as he said, “You didn’t approve of

Kenneth before, so why were you defending him so much today?” I can’t afford to mess around if I

want to make this work. I’ll have to bring out some legitimate facts as well. With that in mind, Anthony

said, “I disapproved of Daddy before because I didn’t know him that well. After spending some time

with him, I realized that he wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. I can see he’s putting a lot of effort into

winning Nat over. On top of that, finding out that those incidents were fake also helped me view him in

a different light.” Terence didn’t know what to say after hearing Anthony’s sincere reply. “Gramps, I

know you care deeply about Nat and don’t want her to get hurt.

However, there’s no way to guarantee that she won’t get hurt dating someone else,” Anthony added.

Benjamin chimed in as well, “Take Zachary, for example. He is a decent person, but the same cannot

be said about his family. I can’t imagine what would happen to Nat if she dated him!” Terence frowned

upon hearing them mention Zachary. I used to try really hard to pair them up with each other… Now

that I’ve seen Zachary’s mother and what happened to the Lynch family, I’m glad things didn’t work out

between him and Nat! She would’ve ended up in a worse situation than she did with Kenneth! These

two do make a good point. In this modern age, dating feels like a gamble regardless of who you

choose. You never know what will happen in the future, let alone see a person’s true nature from their

appearance. It’s almost like a blind audition. Noticing that Terence was in deep thought, Anthony

continued, “Gramps, I know you still have some issues with Daddy. To be honest, we haven’t fully

approved of him just yet. However, we believe he’s a candidate worthy of consideration. The three of

us wouldn’t approve of him if he were still the same person from before, but he might’ve changed. If

that’s the case, then he would be a decent option. With how much you know him and the three of us

around, I don’t think Daddy would dare cross the line.” Terence looked at them and asked, “What are

you two suggesting, then? What should I do?” “Not much, really. Just don’t stop them from being

together. Let nature take its course,” Anthony replied with a smile. Terence chuckled.

“Heh, so this is why you two wanted to come shopping for groceries with me? Go on, then. Tell me,

how did Kenneth convince you two to take his side?” “He did no such thing!” Anthony said. “We swear!”

Benjamin added. “You mean you two are doing this of your own accord?” “We just want Nat to be

happy!” Anthony replied. “Yeah! That way, she’ll have someone around to look after her when we’re

gone!” Benjamin added. “Gone? Where will you kids be going?” Terence asked. Anthony shot him a

fierce glare in response. Do you not think before you speak? Realizing that he had almost let it slip,

Benjamin quickly made up an excuse on the fly. “To school, of course! Besides, we won’t be kids

forever! Eventually, we’ll all grow up and have our own stuff to do, so we won’t be around Nat all the

time.” Yeah, that makes sense. They’re still kids, so where could they possibly go anyway? Not thinking

much about it, Terence said with a nod, “All right, I understand what you two are trying to tell me. I’ll

take this into consideration.” Anthony and Benjamin felt relieved when they saw him give in. “You’re the

best, Gramps! We knew you’d want the best for Nat!” “Of course! She’s my granddaughter, after all!”

“Gramps, could you tell us why Daddy divorced Nat if he had liked her since they were kids? Was it

really because he found her too unfashionable?” Benjamin asked.

He had seen pictures of Natasha from a few years ago. While it was true that she looked

unfashionable, it wasn’t bad enough to warrant a divorce. Anthony, too, looked at Terence curiously

after hearing that. Despite Terence’s attempts at avoiding the topic, Benjamin had led the conversation

right back to it. Not wanting to talk about it, Terence tried to change the topic. “These cherries are really

nice. We should buy some for your mommy. She needs more fruits in her diet,” he said while pointing

at a fruit vendor. “Don’t try to change the topic, Gramps! Come on, tell us!” Benjamin protested. “Is

there some kind of secret we don’t know about?” Anthony asked. D*mn it, why are these two so

persistent? Terence thought to himself as he continued picking the fruits in silence. “Forget it. Gramps

must have his reasons for not telling us. We should just ask Nat about it instead!” Anthony said. “Do not

ask her!” Terence warned them the moment he heard that. The two kids simply stood there staring at

him in response. “Fine, I’ll tell you… But you mustn’t bring this up again when we get home, okay?”

Terence said with a sigh. Anthony and Benjamin nodded profusely. Terence then gave it some thought

and said, “He spent a lot of time around your great-grandpa when he was little. It’s true that he fell for

your mommy then, but he lost his memories in an accident. By the time he regained consciousness, his

personality had changed drastically. It was as if he had become a completely different person…” As

Kenneth had gotten injured trying to save Natasha’s life, Terence couldn’t blame him entirely for his

actions. The two kids were utterly shocked by what they had just heard. “What? Daddy lost his

memories?” Benjamin asked. “What a dramatic twist!” Anthony exclaimed in disbelief. “It’s all in the

past now. Make sure to keep this a secret, okay? Don’t tell anyone else about it, or your mommy will

get very upset.”

“Does Mommy know about this?” Terence nodded. “Yes, she does.” “So, Mommy married Daddy even

though she was aware of what happened?” Benjamin asked. Man, these two sure have a lot of

questions… Terence nodded. “That means Nat is actually into Daddy, right?” Anthony asked. Terence

pursed his lips and kept quiet as he didn’t know what to say. Noticing the look of hesitation on his face,

Anthony pressed on, “Gramps, is there something you’re not telling us? Nat doesn’t seem like the

irrational type.” Realizing that it was impossible to keep secrets from them, Terence told them the truth.

“Kenneth lost his memories trying to save your mommy.” Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances

after hearing that explanation. Everything makes perfect sense now! This means Daddy isn’t entirely to

be blamed for what he did! Regardless of whether Nat actually likes him or if she’s just trying to repay

him, it is undeniable that fate has brought them together. “In that case—” Unable to take any more of

their questioning, Terence cut him off, “All right, that’s enough. It’s time for us to head back now.”

Terence then quickly pushed the shopping cart out of there as if he was fleeing the scene. Anthony and

Benjamin broke into mischievous grins when they saw his response.
