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

Chapter 1042 Best Mommy

Natasha slightly furrowed her brows in displeasure after hearing that.

However, she didn't rush to show it. Instead, she looked at him. “If you're not going anywhere, then what do you plan to do?”

“I'll stay in Glenport City, focusing on my studies, learning how to do business. If Dad's company needs my help, I'll lend a hand. If not, I'll start my own business. Either way, I'll make money. I'll stay close to you, always there to keep you company.”

Listening to his words, Natasha remained calm and continued to ask, “What about the things you like to do? Are you not doing them anymore?”

“All of that doesn't matter.”

“Those are important,” Natasha said, halting her steps and turning to look at him. “Anthony, those are the things and careers you love. If you have your own dreams and aspirations, you should go for them.” She paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. “Even though I'm speaking from a mother's perspective, and I wish you could engage in something safer, I'd rather you do what you love. Anthony, life is short and unpredictable. Knowing what you love and want to do from a young age is rare. So, I don't want you to give up on anything.”

Complicated emotions filled Anthony's eyes as he listened to Natasha. After a long while, he said, “Nat, for me, those are things I enjoy. I might regret it if I give them up, but you all are what's most important to me. Without you, all of this would be meaningless. I can't let you go...”

Natasha was slightly taken aback.

Sometimes, she felt that, as parents, they were the ones who sacrificed the most.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that as children, they, too, had given a lot. Moreover, their emotions were truly pure.

Natasha slightly narrowed her eyes. She had always considered herself not quite the perfect mother. At least she couldn't manage to care for her children's daily living as other mothers did. On the contrary, most of the time, it was her children who were taking care of her.

Sometimes, when she saw other children crying for comfort and hugs, she realized that she had never experienced that with her children. She didn't know if they were too mature or what, but their interactions had always been like friends. If there really were one who needed to be taken care of, it would definitely be her.

With that in mind, Natasha looked at Anthony. She knew full well no one was perfect, regardless of who they were. I may not be able to become a great mother, but I can certainly be their wonderful friend.

“Anthony,” Natasha suddenly said, looking at him.

Upon hearing that, Anthony lifted his gaze to look at her.

Natasha laughed lightly. “I'm very grateful to you. I know I'm not a particularly qualified mother, but you're definitely the most outstanding child. So, I want to tell you not to overthink. Just do what you want to do. Never give up, never!”

“Nat...”

“The things you're worried about won't happen. Although I'm not a formidable person, I'm not one to be easily defeated. I can live with love, and I can live without it. So, don't worry about me!” Natasha said to him.

Anthony looked at her, unsure of what to say.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“I understand you can't bear to leave right now, so I'm allowing you to come back with us. However, once we return, you'll have to make a decision and leave with Thalia.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony frowned. “Nat...”

“That settles it!” Natasha declared with finality.

She knew Anthony too well. He was a person who greatly valued family ties. If she didn't capture this moment, Anthony would undoubtedly hesitate, reluctant to leave.

At times, someone had to make the final say.

At that moment, Anthony looked at Natasha, tears welling up in his eyes.

Natasha looked at him. “Even if you think I'm heartless, I've made the decision.”

However, in the next second, Anthony went straight up to her and threw himself onto her.

“Nat, who said you're not a qualified mother? To me, you're the best Mommy in the whole world. There's no one better than you,” Anthony said in a muffled voice.

Listening to his voice, Natasha knew he was sniffling.

With a slight smile playing on his lips, Natasha said in a low voice, “That's enough. Praising is fine, but overpraising is just boasting.”

Surprisingly, Anthony clung tightly to her leg. “I'm telling the truth. You are the best Nat in the world and the best Mommy!”

Receiving such feedback and comments from her child, Natasha felt very gratified in her heart.

She didn't say much more and merely patted Anthony's head. “All right. After all, in this world, there's truly only one Nat, and that's me!”

Anthony didn't say a word and just held her tightly.

At that moment, a housekeeper passed through the courtyard.

She cast a glance in their direction.

Seeing that, Natasha said softly, “All right. That's enough. It's not like we're parting ways right this instant!”

Anthony remained silent.

“Everyone is looking at us!” Natasha said.

Although she was just hugging her own son, Natasha felt somewhat embarrassed under people's gaze.

Unexpectedly, Anthony retorted, “So what if they're looking? What's wrong with me hugging my own mom?”

Upon hearing the sound, Natasha couldn't help but laugh.

He'd never seen Anthony show such a childish side before. His words were just like those of a willful little kid.

However, at that moment, another housekeeper passed by, casting her gaze their way once again.

Natasha lowered her gaze, looking at the person in her arms. “Even if you don't consider yourself, shouldn't you consider me a bit? Can't I feel embarrassed?”

“No way!” Anthony shook his head. “Nat, you just have to bear with it!”

Natasha was rendered speechless.

Lowering her gaze, she looked at Anthony.

Natasha felt quite helpless.

Nevertheless, she had indeed never seen Anthony behave in that stubborn manner. Even though she verbally expressed embarrassment, there was still a unique feeling in her heart.

Natasha spoke in a soft voice. “All right, then. If that's the case, I'll give you two more minutes.”

“Anthony said, “Nat, this cannot be restricted with a time limit!”

“What is that?”

“Forget it!” He didn't say anything more, merely tightly embracing Natasha to express his heartfelt feelings.

He was not someone adept at expressing himself with words. Only at that moment, through a hug, through willfulness, through tears, could he show just how important Natasha was to him. Nat, you truly are the best Mommy in the whole world. In our next life, I still want to be your child.

Anthony held her tightly, screaming loudly inwardly.
