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

Benjamin, at the side also chimed in, "That's right, our family should always stick together when we're outside. We shouldn't be separated." Anthony originally wanted to say something, but Benjamin's words immediately left him speechless.

At this point, what more could he say?

Watching them, Anthony pursed his lips and said, "Alright then, let's go together. You two can come with me."

Only then did the two of them nod their heads in satisfaction.

"Let's pack our things tonight, and after everything is over, we'll leave right away," said Anthony.

"Where's Magus?" asked Denise, suddenly.

Anthony looked at her.

"Our purpose for coming here is him, Tony. Are you giving up just like that?" asked Denise.

"Do not do unto others what you do not want to be done to yourself," said Anthony lightly.

Upon hearing that, Thalia chuckled softly.

When Anthony heard her chuckle, he turned his head to look at her and asked, "What's the problem? Why are you laughing?"

Thalia directly retorted, "Don't you already know what I mean by that?"

"How on earth would I know," snapped Anthony.

"It's truly unbelievable to hear the phrase 'do not do unto others what you don't want to be done unto you' coming from your mouth!" teased Thalia. Anthony asked, "What kind of misunderstanding do you have about me?"

Thalia gave him a faint smile, but her eyes didn't have a shred of warmth in them. "I know you far better than you could ever imagine," said Thalia. "Oh, really?" asked Anthony as he raised his eyebrows.

"That's right!" agreed Thalia.

Anthony thought for a moment, then looked at her and asked, "Why don't you try guessing what I'm thinking right now?"

Thalia thought carefully and said, "You're thinking that maybe tonight, Magnus will choose to leave with you...”

When he heard that, Anthony's expression became slightly stunned.

At that moment, the few people nearby were looking at him.

Seeing that he wasn't responding, Thalia asked, "Why aren't you saying anything? Did I guess correctly?"

Anthony looked at her, his deep black eyes revealing an indescribably rich complexity.

"Master, is that true?" asked Miguel.

Anthony looked at Thalia and asked, "How did you know?"

Thalia's lips curled into a smile as she said, "Isn't that the reason why you're putting in so much effort for Magus? I believe you're a compassionate person, but you're also someone who won't go to this length it there is nothing in it for you. It is a win-win situation for you, but as for the outcome... Well, it still depends on fate!"

However, Anthony interrupted, "There's no need to look to the heavens for this matter. I've always only believed in myself."

"So, are you sure he will go with you?" asked Thalia.

"How about we make a bet?" said Anthony arching his eyebrows.

"Alright, let's make a bet, then!" said Thalia, who was not scared at all.

Then, Anthony's gaze turned toward the three people beside him. He asked, "What do you all think? Want to make a bet as well?"

"How much is the bet?" asked Benjamin.

Anthony thought for a moment before looking at Thalia, who was standing beside him.

At that moment, the latter spoke up. "For you all, the amount of money doesn't matter. What matters most is the winning and losing." As she said this, she pulled a banknote from her pocket and added, "A hundred dollars it is!"

Anthony didn't mind. For them, money was indeed a small matter. What mattered most was winning and losing.

"I'll go with a hundred as well!" said Anthony.

Benjamin and Denise were generous, each taking money from their pockets and slapping it on the table. "It's just a hundred. We're in," said the two in unison.

Seeing them following suit, Thalia asked, "Hold on, don't just say you are making a bet. Tell us who you're betting on."

Benjamin said, "I'm betting on Anthony."

Thalia frowned and asked, "Do you think Magus will go with him?"

"From a man's perspective, I choose to stand on Anthony's side. After all, I want this to happen as well," said Benjamin.

"Alright, just wait to lose, then," said Thalia.

"I can afford to lose a hundred dollars. I can't afford to lose hope!" mumbled Benjamin softly.

Upon hearing this, Anthony turned his head toward him and asked, "Why do I feel like it's worse for you to bet for me than against me?"

"Tony, that's not important. What matters is, I'm already supporting you," said Benjamin.

Anthony thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright then."

It was better than no one supporting him.

At this moment, Thalia's gaze turned to Denise and asked, "What about you?"

After thinking for a moment, Denise slowly said, "Since Ben has already said that, I must stand on the woman's side." With that, she slapped the money on the table and added, "Thalia, I'm betting on you." Upon seeing this, Thalia immediately revealed a satisfied smile and reached out to pat Denise's head, saying, "You're always the best to me!"

"Love you," said Denise.

Anthony couldn't bear to look at it and immediately averted his gaze.

At that moment, Miguel also took a hundred dollars from his pocket and said, "I'm in too..."

No sooner had he finished speaking when several gazes were swiftly cast in his direction.

"Who are betting on?" asked Thalia.

Miguel's gaze swept over them, and after a moment of thought, he said, "How about, I don't bet on you guys anymore?"

"You have already taken out the money, so there's no reason to take it back," said Anthony. He grabbed Miguel's hand, slapped it on the table, and asked directly, "Just tell me, who are betting on?" Miguel quietly looked up, his gaze fixed on Anthony. Although Anthony didn't say anything, just by looking at him, Miguel felt an inexplicable sense of pressure...

"Master, I'm definitely betting on you!" said Miguel straight off.

Thalia wasn't surprised at all. She glanced at him and said, "A flatterer."

Hearing Thalia's words, Miguel immediately said, "Losing a hundred bucks is nothing, but I can't let Master down!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Thalia laughed and nodded, saying, "That's right, absolutely correct!"

Anthony's gaze swept over him and said, "If you're unwilling and unhappy, don't bet on me."

Miguel suddenly realized what he had said and quickly explained, "No! no! Master, I am sincere in betting on you."

"What's the connection between sincerity and faith?" asked Thalia.

Denise, who was standing nearby, chimed in with a grin. "Exactly!"

Miguel realized he had misspoken again and quickly corrected himself and said, "Master, I have absolute trust in your abilities, without a single trace of doubt. I swear, if I'm lying to you, I-I won't be able to find a girlfriend this year!"

Anthony was rendered speechless by this.

Thalia clapped her hands in admiration and praised, "What a wickedly clever oath!"

"Can you please stop making a fuss?" pleaded Miguel.

At that moment, Anthony took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, it's unimportant. When the time comes, I'll show you what a desperate counterattack means."

Hearing his words, Thalia nodded teasingly and said, "I don't know what you mean by a desperate counterattack, but I do understand what it means to be shamelessly boastful."

"Fine, just wait and see then!" retorted Anthony, and didn't argue any further.

"Let's just go how it turns out, then!" exclaimed Thalia confidently.

Thalia considered herself to have some connections with Magus and would like to think she understood him slightly. Since Magus despised this kind of life so much, he would definitely not leave with Anthony. Even if Anthony helped him, and he felt slightly touched by this, he would never change his mind.

After she thought about it, Thalia was even more confident and certain about it.

At that moment, Anthony looked at them and said, "Alright then, let's all go pack our things and get ready to set off soon."
