Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 166

The breeze during the night was cool.

Ever since Natasha returned, she rarely drove during the night, aside from when she needed to deal with her work. She found the road she had to drive back home on boring and she simply wanted to arrive home to take a shower as soon as possible.

It was different compared to the current situation because she was driving with her three children. The window was also slightly opened, which allowed the cool breeze to blow in. It felt pretty relaxing.

She realized the time she got to spend with the kids alone was getting shorter and infrequent as time passed.

The triplets thought the same as well because they seemed pretty excited, even though nothing much was currently going on. All of them were staring at her.

“I heard from Gramps that you went out for dinner with Mr. Zach earlier. Is that true?” Denise asked.

Natasha shot a glance at her. “Why do you know about everything?” “I know about everything because I care about you!” the girl replied matter-of-factly.

Natasha smiled with a nod. “That's true.”

“Do you like Mr. Zach?” Denise continued to ask.

The moment she finished, the boys stared at their mother with glimmering eyes, too.

Natasha thought for a bit and answered, “I do.”

Silence filled the air, and for a long moment, it stayed that way.

She could tell their eyes were practically glued to her.

“So you're picking our school director then, Nat?” Benjamin asked somberly.

“Picking?”

“Yeah. Since you like Mr. Lynch, aren't you going to stay with him?”

Natasha chuckled. “I do like him, but in a platonic, friendly way. I don't like him romantically.”

The triplets fell silent again.

They were getting pretty anxious earlier as their hearts were beating loudly.

They let out a heavy sigh of relief when they heard her answer.

“You're getting funnier and funnier, Nat!” Benjamin smiled wryly.

“Thanks for the praise.” Natasha smiled at him as she stared at him through the rearview mirror.

“Does this mean you won't get together with Mr. Zach, Nat?” Denise asked.

“No, I won't. We can still be friends, but only friends.”

“I see...” The girl nodded as the edge of her mouth curved upward subconsciously.

Upon detecting that faint change in her daughter's expression, Natasha raised her brows. “What's wrong? Are you

disappointed?” “It's nothing! Even though I like Mr. Zach, especially because he's handsome, I'll still prioritize and respect what you like, Mommy! That's why it's more important that you're happy, Mommy! Nothing else is as important as that!” Denise said as she shook her head in a serious manner.

However, Natasha could still discern a tinge of relief in her daughter's eyes. “Is that what you really think?”

The girl nodded with the utmost sincere expression.

Like hell I'm going to believe that. Does she think I don't understand her? From the moment she asked her first question, I already know what she was trying to do. Still, it's only normal that she has her own thoughts on the matter. No child wouldn't want to see their parents get together. That being said, I don't want to give them too much hope. They'll get disappointed if what they hope for doesn't come true. Natasha thought about what she should say and uttered, “As you said, you're going to prioritize and respect what I like. So, if and when I find someone I truly like, you three

better not interfere, okay?”

Denise's eyes widened at that. Is she trying to prepare us for the worst?

It was then Anthony spoke up. “If that day comes, I won't interfere.”

Natasha glanced at the boy through the rearview mirror. Despite the boy's young age, the look in his eyes was one of resolution. It managed to convince her that he really meant it.
