You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 739

Alexia was lying on the bed inside the room with a distracted look on her face.

She immediately turned around when she heard someone open the door, only to lower her gaze in disappointment when she saw who it was.

“Why are you here?” Alexia asked.

“I brought you these,” Natasha replied casually as she walked up to her and placed some flowers and chocolate down on the table.

Alexia glanced at the gifts and furrowed her brows in disdain. “I don't want them. I'm not a child anymore, and I don't like chocolate.”

“Kenneth was the one who paid for them,” Natasha added.

Alexia paused and stared at the flowers and chocolate in disbelief. “Really?”

“Duh! Did you really think I'd buy you this stuff?” Natasha replied.

Alexia broke into a smile after hearing that. “Fair enough.”

“Well? Do you want them or not? I could throw them out for you if you like!” Natasha asked while pretending to reach for the stuff.

“Don't you dare! Those are from my savior! You have no right to throw them out!” Alexia yelled anxiously.

“You said you didn't want them, right?” Natasha asked.

“Even if that is the case, I should be the one to throw them out!” Alexia argued.

Natasha let out a chuckle and released her grip on the chocolate and flowers.

She then sat down on the chair next to the bed.

Alexia shot her a hostile glance and asked, “Where's my savior?”

Instead of answering her question, Natasha simply eyed her from head to toe without saying a word.

Hmm... She looks rather pretty. The world outside has toughened her up a little, but she still has a hint of innocence in her. If I recall correctly, I was about her age when I married Kenneth back then.

Alexia frowned when she saw Natasha staring at her in silence. “What are you looking at?”

Having been snapped out of her train of thought, Natasha flashed her a smile and said, “Nothing. I just thought you look rather pretty, that's all.”

Alexia furrowed her brow in confusion.

What is this woman playing at? Why is she complimenting me?

“Don't think I'll give you two my blessings simply because you complimented my appearance. As I said before, you do not deserve him!” Alexia said with a cautious look on her face.

Natasha let out a chuckle and asked with a playful grin, “Who else would deserve him if not me? You?”

Alexia was not expecting her to say something like that, so Natasha's response caught her completely off guard. All she could do was stare nervously at Natasha in silence.

“Ms. Harper, I know you are grateful to Kenneth for saving your life. Gratitude is indeed a good thing, but you should be careful of how you manage it. If you are not careful and end up crossing lines you shouldn't have, then it will only bring you harm in the long run. Do you understand what I'm saying?” Natasha continued.

Alexia looked up at Natasha in shock, but the latter simply maintained a harmless smile as though nothing had happened.

Alexia felt as though Natasha had exposed her deepest and darkest secret.

After taking a moment to regain her composure, she asked, “How are you so sure that I'm the one in the wrong here?”

“I'm sure you know the answer to that question,” Natasha said.

“Kenneth and I may not be as close as we were before, but we both know that we would never blame each other for our actions. Besides, he would be really depressed if he failed to protect me. To live on with all that guilt would be such a torture that death would've been a more pleasant option,” Natasha explained.

Alexia wasn't sure if Natasha was telling the truth or if she had made that up.

“The reason you think I don't deserve him is exactly why he will never fall in love with you, Ms. Harper. You will never win his heart over,” Natasha added.

“I...” Alexia was desperate to prove herself, but she didn't know what else she could say.

She prioritized Kenneth above everything else, but he did not feel the same way about her.

Natasha's words had really made a huge impact on her. After a prolonged moment of silence, she shot Natasha a doubtful look and asked, “You're just making this up, aren't you?”

“If you insist on taking it that way, then so be it,” Natasha replied.

That's it. I told her everything I had to say. The rest is up to her.

“Did you come here just to tell me all that?” Alexia asked.

“Of course not. He insisted that I stake my claim on him, so I have no choice but to do this,” Natasha replied nonchalantly.

Why do I get this feeling that she's just trying to show off? Alexia's forehead creased at the thought of that.

Natasha arched an eyebrow at her. “What, you don't believe me?”

She then turned toward the door as she continued, “Oh, well... I've said what I came to say, so I'll let him take over from here. Come on in!”

As it turned out, Kenneth and Mike had been eavesdropping outside the door the entire time.
