Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 219

“You do love me, right?” Kenneth pressed with his eyes trained on her.

Frowning, Natasha pressed her lips into a thin line. She didn't know what to say, but she knew that the man wouldn't easily let her off if she didn't say anything.

After deliberating for a while, she replied, “It wasn't just because of you that I did this. I'm the reason this matter transpired, so I couldn't stand idly by, nor did I want to drag you and Old Mr. Hamilton into the mess. As for the rest of whatever you said, all that had nothing to do with it.”

Having said that, she averted her gaze and got ready to leave.

However, Kenneth grabbed her. It was as though he had expected her to say that, for he was neither peeved nor irritated. Instead, the corners of his mouth curved upward. “You said it wasn't just because of me. Does that mean that I'm also part of the reason, even if a little?”

Even a smidge was enough to make him

happy.

At the sight of the smile playing on his lips, Natasha was stunned for a moment. Did I say that?

“Is that right?” At that moment, Kenneth was like a child lacking love, anxiously requiring the slightest bit of affirmation from her.

His hopeful gaze had one unable to say anything to the contrary.

Natasha swept a gaze over him. “You can think whatever you want.” With that, she strode off.

As Kenneth stared at her back, the corners of his mouth curved into a grin.

He knew that it was already a fantastic answer.

For Natasha, uttering such a remark was already a great affirmation to him.

At that thought, his grin widened as he went after her.

When Natasha reached the car, Kenneth immediately stepped forward and opened the door attentively. Just as she was about to get into the vehicle, she abruptly noticed the latter's hand.

It was trembling.

“What's wrong with you?” she questioned, eyeing him.

Right then, Kenneth glanced at his hand as well. “Nothing's wrong. I was too nervous on my way here, afraid that something would happen to you. But I'm fine now.” While saying that, he withdrew his hand smilingly.

Natasha was taken aback. She cast a look at him before getting into the car with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Kenneth circled over and climbed into the car as well.

During the drive back, Natasha remained silent.

As Kenneth drove, he glanced at her every so often.

In truth, he long since had a countermeasure even if she hadn't made a move.

In fact, it could be said that things only developed thus far because he had allowed it.

However, he never thought that she would step forward to help him.

Although his plan had been disrupted, he was still in a pretty good mood. He felt very much protected.

The mere thought of it had him feeling much more joyful.

“Nat.”

Hearing Kenneth addressing her thus, Natasha frowned in displeasure. “What is it?”

“Nothing. It just feels great to be protected by you.”

Natasha was struck dumb.

Kenneth looked at her, the smile on his lips growing increasingly wider.

Conversely, Natasha's brows were furrowed.

Hmm, his moods are really unpredictable. He just told me a while ago not to do such a dangerous thing for his sake, but now, he's all smiles.

“Don't mention it.”

Nevertheless, Kenneth remained smiling, obviously in a good mood.

Just then, a phone call from Fabian came in.

“Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Landry called for a shareholder's meeting to impeach you. Everyone has arrived now.”

Kenneth's eyes narrowed a fraction. “Got it.”

“So...”

“I'll be there in twenty minutes.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Kenneth turned to Natasha. “Do you have anything else to do today?”

Natasha shook her head.

“If so, how about making a trip to my office with me? When the matter has been resolved, we'll go for lunch together!” Kenneth ventured.
