Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 221

“What?”

“How about if I marry you as a way to redeem myself?” suggested Kenneth with his brows raised.

Natasha retorted, “Are you sure that's redemption for you and not a punishment for me?”

Kenneth chuckled. “That depends on how you look at it. Once we're married, I can redeem myself by allowing you to punish me in any way you see fit.”

Natasha's lips curved slightly. “I've got a feeling that you're trying to scam me into marriage."

“Was I successful?”

“What do you think?”

Kenneth took a deep breath and said with a hapless expression, “Fine. It looks like I need to work on my scamming skill.”

With a satisfied smile, Natasha consoled

him, “Try harder next time.”

With that, she got up and was about to leave.

Little did she expect Kenneth to pull her back and pin her body with his.

Leaning against the table with his face right in front of her, she caught a whiff of his unique scent.

That stunned her a little.

Kenneth eyed her with desire and said, “Nat, when you told me to try harder the next time, do you mean what I think you are referring to?”

Did I say that?I think so. Then again, I meant it as a joke.

Natasha rolled her eyes before glancing at him. “You can also choose to give up!”

“Give up? I was stupid once. Do you think I will make the same mistake again? This time around, I will never, ever give up!” uttered Kenneth with determination.

He looked very adamant about it.

At times, Natasha suspected that it was only an illusion or a dream. Perhaps Kenneth was just a very talented actor.

No matter what, Natasha had no wish to be the loser again.

She looked at him with a smile and said, “It's up to you.”

Kenneth became motivated when he saw that she was not as cool as she was in the past.

Knowing that she was teasing him and not being angry with him, his eyes lit up brightly.

“Nat...” Kenneth would never get tired of calling her name.

“Yes?”

“You're really beautiful,” commented Kenneth as he gazed upon her with adoration.

Natasha was momentarily dumbfounded.

“Kenneth, if you keep this disgusting act up, I won't be able to have my lunch anymore!”

“What would you like to have for lunch?” “Whatever.”

Kenneth nodded. “Okay. Let me arrange it.”

That afternoon, news of Desmond being arrested leaked out.
