Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 119

Liam sighed helplessly.

We may be the same age, but these are really massively different lives we're living.

The kids of others usually made them proud, but his grandson only ever seemed to be the subject of many eye-rolls.

Liam walked toward Terence and started attempting to comfort him. “Don't be mad. It's normal to want someone as outstanding as Nat in your family, right? It would be weird if you don't!”

Terence couldn't deny that that was rather nice to hear.

“Well, you certainly have better taste than that grandson of yours!” Terence said haughtily.

Even a deaf person could hear the intention behind his words.

Liam wasn't angry. On the contrary, he smiled and asked, “Could the young man who came by the other day be the lucky guy you're talking about?”

Terence raised an eyebrow. “You still remember him?”

“Of course! I practically remember everyone who hangs around Nat.”

Terence nodded, not hiding anything anymore. “Yes, it's him.”

“Well... are they dating?” Liam asked.

Terence paused and replied, “They will soon. Besides, he definitely has feelings for my Nat. He has already told me that.”

Kenneth looked at Natasha, who simply acted as if she hadn't seen or heard anything.

It was as if she hadn't heard anything that the two old geezers had been saying.

Liam nodded after hearing that. “So I take it that they aren't dating?”

Terence frowned as he looked up at him. “Why do you sound happy about it?” “Oh, of course not!” Liam shook his head and tried to stay serious. “Why would I be happy about that? I just want to hear about who has their eyes on Nat, that's all. That young man... hmm, he is quite goodlooking!”

“Of course,” Terence said proudly.

Benjamin tried his best to hold his laughter in.

He kind of felt that Liam was lying through his teeth.

Liam looked at Terence and said, “Don't you worry. Nat may not be my granddaughter, but I will treat her as my own! Everything I do is simply for the sake of her happiness.”

No one knew if he meant it, but it was definitely something nice to hear.

“Seems like you're finally coming around,” Terence said.

“Of course.”

Terence checked the time and said, “Since you're already here, why don't we all have lunch together?”

Liam couldn't be happier at such a request. “Sure!”

Terence glanced at the two kids next to him and said, “Let's go, kids. We're going to eat with your great-grandpa!”

“Yay!”

“What about mommy?” Benjamin asked.

“Oh, I'm alright. Don't worry about me-”

“You guys can go ahead. I'll stay here. Someone will deliver food in a bit,” Kenneth said before Natasha could finish speaking.

Terence frowned, but Liam hurriedly answered, “Good! You just stay here. At least, I won't lose my appetite then.”

As he spoke, he pulled Terence out the door. “Let's go!”

He didn't even give Terence the time to refute as he called the kids next. “Let's go, my little sweethearts!”

Benjamin and Denise glanced at each other and knowingly gave them space.

To an outsider, it may have seemed like a wondrous coincidence.

In the corridor, Terence was frowning with worry. “Is it alright to leave the two of them alone in there?”

“Why wouldn't it? Besides, Nat is a patient now. What do you think could happen?”

“Liam, why do I feel like-”

“Let's just go. Man, you're really nagging more with age.”

The two people left alone in the hospital ward were stricken with a strange atmosphere the minute the voices in the corridor faded.

Kenneth walked over to Natasha, who looked at him. “You don't need to stay here for me. I can take good care of myself.”

“It's my duty to keep a promise I made.”

Natasha scoffed coldly. “Kenneth, this isn't anything like you and you know it.”
