Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 180

Erin looked at Thea warily as she kept her hands folded in front of her chest.

After Thea sat down, she flashed Erin another smile. “Please don't worry. I'm not the one Zachary likes. I'm really just an ordinary friend of his.”

It was only then Erin relaxed. The caution in her eyes turned into pride as she said, “Why have you come to me?”

Thea never thought that the other woman would be so direct. After a moment of contemplation, she uttered, “Nothing, actually. It's just that I had a chat with Zachary before and found out that you were overseas. That's why I was rather baffled when I heard your call earlier. So, I came over to find out if I've recognized the wrong person.

Erin listened to her dubiously. She had lived for many years, and she had come across numerous people. Although she could not say that she was good at reading other people, she would never believe that Thea was simply there to greet her.

At that moment, a thought popped into her head. “If you're friends with Zachary, then you should know who the woman who has been clinging to him is, right?”

“Uh... I do know, but...” Thea stammered, unsure what to reply to her.

“Who is it?” Erin questioned.

Thea then pursed her lips, not knowing what she should say.

“It isn't you, is it? You're stuttering.”

Thea instantly shook her head. “No, it isn't me. I'm really just friends with him.”

“Then who is it?” Erin questioned again as she stared intently at Thea.

Thea knitted her brows, acting as if she was a troubled, innocent woman. “I don't think it's appropriate for me to tell you about her.”

“Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about her,” Erin reassured her with a smile.

“But...” Thea still seemed as if she was in a dilemma.

“Ms. Jarman, right?”

Thea nodded.

“If you're friends with Zachary, then I won't hide anything from you. Zachary has responsibilities to bear. He can't waste his time on her,” Erin gravely told her.

Thea's brows furrowed again, but she soon slowly parted her lips. “You know, I actually tried to convince Zachary that the woman didn't deserve him before. With his character and status, he can definitely get someone better. I just don't understand why he has to go for a woman with children.”

Erin immediately caught on to the keyword. “What? Children? What children?”

Thea deliberately tensed up before asking, “Do you not know about this?”

Erin's expression darkened even more.

It's one thing for him to get a woman and another to get one with children! He's embarrassing the entire Lynch family!

When that thought flashed across her mind, the look in Erin's eyes became colder.

Then, she turned to Thea and slapped a smile onto her face. “Ms. Jarman, to be honest, Zachary has been hiding this from me the entire time. However, he's already engaged to another woman. Now, for that woman, he's insisting on breaking off the engagement. That's why I have to find out more about this matter. Please tell me everything you know and help Zachary out!”

Finally, Thea said, “I see. So that woman's really just... hurting him. I thought she wouldn't ruin anyone else's lives other than mine, but it seems like she'll never change her nature.”

“What do you mean?”

“I do know the one Zachary likes. She's an employee of Prosper Technologies, and her name is Natasha Watson. Her children are already about six to seven years old. She kept trying to seduce my boyfriend when I was still with my boyfriend, and in the end, we broke up because of her. I never thought that she would turn to Zachary in the blink of an eye... I tried advising Zachary on this, but he wouldn't listen to me. He's sure that she's a good woman, and because of that woman, he started ignoring me...” At that, a helpless look appeared on her face.
