Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 142

I see. He doesn't hate us. He doesn't hate me. We were wrong, then. Although he was on cloud nine, Anthony still seemed incredibly composed. That was because he was more interested in Kenneth's actions rather than his words. After all, words could only mean so much.

Kenneth pursed his lips and pondered for a long time before giving Anthony a stern look. “Anthony, I know that no matter what I say, I can't make up for my absence for the past few years. I don't expect your forgiveness, but I'll use the rest of my life to prove that I can be a good father.”

“How about Nat?”

Ultimately, Anthony was most concerned about Natasha.

If Natasha didn't allow it, he wouldn't even be having a conversation with Kenneth in the first place.

Kenneth's gaze darkened when Anthony mentioned Natasha. With a smirk, he said, “Of course I would like to make it up to her as well. But you're well aware of your mommy's attitude. I doubt she would forgive me that easily!”

“So? Are you going to give up?”

“No!” Kenneth shook his head and smiled. “I would never give up. I'll fight till the end!” he said confidently.

Needless to say, Anthony was happy with the reply.

After witnessing what Kenneth would do for Natasha and hearing those words from him, Anthony had gradually begun to accept Kenneth.

He shot him a serious look and asked, “Will you promise me something?”

“Go on.” Kenneth was willing to do whatever he was told.

After mulling over it for quite a while, Anthony uttered solemnly, “Don't hurt Nat. I don't know what your relationship with her will be like in the future, and I don't intend to meddle in it. However, my bottom line is that Nat cannot get hurt. Otherwise...”

“Otherwise?” “If you hurt her, I'll dedicate my whole life to torment and punish you. I believe Benjamin and Denise would do the same as well.” Despite his age, Anthony's words were vicious.

Kenneth pursed his lips and stared at him in response.

He wasn't angry, nor did he feel threatened by Anthony's words.

Instead, he suddenly recalled what Anthony had looked like when he had wanted to kill Gary with a knife.

Kenneth was having trouble trying to understand how a young boy could be so impulsive and vicious. It seems as if he knows everything, and he's not as innocent as normal kids. Although he would occasionally display the traits of a child, he acts like a negotiator most of the time. I wonder what they have gone through over the years. A kid like him should live his life without any worries. Instead, he's behaving like an adult who has been through a lot in life.

It would be a lie to say that Kenneth wasn't heartbroken. While his eyes were flickering, he kept staring at Anthony in silence.

Anthony narrowed his eyes, and he seemed displeased. “Are you having second thoughts?”

Kenneth shook his head. “No. I'm just thinking about what to say to make you believe me.”

“You'll need time to earn that. Now, you just have to promise me that.”

Kenneth knew he couldn't treat Anthony like an ordinary kid. I can't coax him like how I would do with other kids. Heck, I might even anger him if I were to do that. The only thing I can do now is show him my sincerity.

Kenneth nodded. “I promise you I'll never do anything to hurt your mommy!”

Upon hearing that, Anthony nodded and said, “I'll trust you this time. Don't disappoint me.”

Kenneth curled his lips into a mocking smile. “Anthony, in your mind, am I a

person who would do that?”

“Before this, yes.” Anthony didn't deny it.

Kenneth was stumped. I've just shot myself in the foot! But I've got no one to blame but myself. Who would've thought that I would get dissed by my own son?
