Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 198

“Because of what?” Kenneth narrowed his gaze.

“I was blind.”

Kenneth was stumped.

I shouldn't have expected anything nice to come out of that mouth others.

Nonetheless, he didn't feel slighted, for he knew her temperament well.

With a calm expression, he continued driving slowly.

“Actually, Denise takes after you,” Kenneth commented abruptly.

“What?”

“Looks are important to her,” he asserted while throwing her a glance from the corner of his eye.

Natasha sneered, “There's no need to praise yourself in such a roundabout way.”

Curling his lips into a smile, Kenneth exuded an irresistible manly charm.

Subsequently, silence descended upon the car.

“Nat,” Kenneth called out all of sudden.

“Hmm?”

“Thank you for letting them stay, and thank you for coming back,” he confessed.

Briefly stunned, Natasha looked at Kenneth, who coincidentally did the same. As their gazes locked, his eyes seemed to glisten in the darkness.

When her heart suddenly skipped a beat, Natasha averted her gaze and looked out the window. “Everything I did was for my own selfish reasons.”

“Whatever it is, you have given me the opportunity to make amends and learn how to care,” Kenneth explained.

“Therefore, thank you.”

When he became all emotional, it made her feel unsettled.

Looking out the window, Natasha didn't say another word.

When he noticed the redness in her ear, as if she was blushing, Kenneth's lips curled into a knowing smile. Soon, their car arrived at Natasha's place.

The moment it came to a stop, Natasha unbuckled herself right away. “Thank you for sending me home. I'm going up now.

You be careful on your way back.”

When she was about to leave, Kenneth reached out to grab her hand.

“Aren't you inviting me up for a chat?” Kenneth asked, looking at her.

Natasha turned around and scrutinized him. “What's there to chat about?”

“I'm fine with just having a drink.”

“Go straight ahead and turn left. You'll find a supermarket on your side. They sell plenty of drinks there. Bye!”

Even though Natasha wanted to leave, Kenneth refused to release his grip. “But I want to drink something from your place.”

Natasha was dumbfounded.

“Why? Is there a problem?” Kenneth inquired.

Just when Natasha was about to reply, he asked with a smirk, “Don't tell me you're afraid that I might do something to you?”

“It wouldn't be strange even if I had such thoughts, would it?” Natasha retorted.

Grinning mischievously, he continued candidly, “It wouldn't because that's precisely what's on my mind.”

Natasha stared at him in silence.

“It's normal for a man to have such thoughts in front of the woman they love, but don't you worry. Until the day you fully accept me, I'll respect your boundaries,” he elaborated.

“Is that so?” Natasha threw the question back at him.

Nodding in acknowledgment, Kenneth checked her out before suggesting with a cheeky voice. “However, it's a different matter if you so as desire it.”

“Bye!”

Just as she spoke, Natasha retracted her hand and alighted from the car before closing the door with a loud slam.

Staring at her silhouette, Kenneth deepened his smile.

At that moment, his phone rang.
