Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 11

The next day, Natasha mentioned that she would bring the children home from school. Of course, that meant she would be meeting the handsome school director.

Denise was ecstatic to hear the news. Thus, she took the extra effort to pick out Natasha's outfit for the day.

Truthfully, Natasha could not be bothered by what she wore on a daily basis. Denise, on the other hand, had high standards. She intended to dress up Natasha like a fashion guru every day.

It was a good thing Natasha had fair skin, as well as long and slender legs. Everything looked gorgeous on her.

She was the kind of beauty that would spark up jealousy among women while every man would do a double take.

It was rare for Natasha to wake up early. Thus, she decided to have breakfast with the children. Between bites, Denise glanced up at Natasha. “Mommy, I hope your beauty can last till the afternoon when you come to pick us up.” “I only said that I might be able to pick you guys up. No promises.”

“That's all right,” countered Denise. “I'll just have to dress you up nicely every single day. You'll come to our school sooner or later.”

As usual, Denise refused to give up before she achieved her goal.

With a look of resignation, Natasha nodded. “Okay, okay!”

“We'll be going now, Mommy,” announced Anthony as he got off the table. “Don't tire yourself up too much today.”

“Be good now.” Natasha smiled.

“Bye, Mommy.” Benjamin waved as he, too, got off the table.

“Listen to Gramps.”

“Yes, Mommy!” the children chorused.

Watching the triplets go out the door, Natasha remained seated at the table and enjoyed her breakfast, taking her own sweet time.

As the triplets made their way downstairs, Benjamin turned to Denise. “Are you really planning to get Mommy a boyfriend?”

“Yep!” Denise was dressed in pink from head to toe with a cute bear-themed backpack. Her response was as a direct one.

“Don't you want to look for Daddy anymore?” inquired Benjamin.

Terence stood in front of the triplets. His eyebrows arched as he listened in on their conversation. Am I invisible to these kids?

Denise pondered for a moment before answering, “I don't think it'll get in the way of us finding Daddy. What if Daddy isn't a good person? There has to be a reason Mommy left him. Either way, we can't ruin Mommy's future just because of our selfishness now, can we?”

“But...”

“I think Denise has a point,” Anthony chimed in.

“Tony, not you too!”

Anthony tossed Benjamin a side glance. “Mommy's happiness is more important. Let me ask you this: if Mommy forbids us to go looking for Daddy, will you still do it?”

“Uh... No,” Benjamin admitted honestly.

“Even though Mommy has never stopped us from doing so, we as her children should still take her feelings into consideration,” Anthony pointed out.

Convinced, Benjamin shrugged. “To be honest, I don't want to look for Daddy anyway. I just want to find out the truth... But if we're comparing that to Mommy's happiness, of course Mommy's happiness is more important.”

In response, Anthony patted Benjamin on the shoulder. “The truth will surface one day.”

All the while, Terence had been standing near the doors of the elevator. Unable to stay silent any longer, he coughed lightly, reminding the triplets of his presence. It seemed as though the triplets had pretended that he was not there from the way they talked about their secret so openly.

However, Terence felt a sense of warmth in his heart upon hearing their conclusion.

The children were surprisingly mature for their age.

Just then, Denise tugged on the book in Terence's hand and raised her head to look at him. With an adorable pout on her face, she asked, “Gramps, you won't tell Mommy what we talked about, will you?”

Smiling sheepishly at her, Terence feigned a look of confusion. “Tell her what? My ears aren't working as well as they used to. I didn't hear a thing!”

“I knew Gramps wouldn't reveal our secret.” Clarice grinned confidently.

The triplets truly were sly.

Meanwhile, Natasha was immediately called by Mark the moment she stepped foot into the company.
