Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 261

This time, she did not doubt Kenneth's feelings for her.

Truthfully, one could tell if someone had feelings for them through the eyes, and at that moment, Natasha could feel the seriousness of the man toward her.

However, she had not the confidence in time.

There was no answer to how long a relationship could last and how much they could endure.

Most importantly, Natasha did not want Kenneth to be dragged in her revenge, as he was not responsible nor obliged to do so.

He had lost his memory once just to save her, so Natasha did not want him to get entangled in her own cause this time.

“Kenneth...” she mumbled after a long pause, “I think we should just end things here.”

Narrowing his eyes, Kenneth fixed his gaze on her. “End things here? What does that mean?”

Pursing her lips, Natasha stated, “I've thought about it. There's no future in our relationship, so you should just stop wasting your time on me. You should find someone else that's worth your effort and time.”

Her voice was so calm it drove Kenneth into despair.

With his deep and dark eyes, he stared at her in disbelief.

“Are you serious?” he asked, his voice hoarse.

Natasha nodded calmly.

“Why?” he probed.

“There's no 'why.' If there must be a reason, then it'll be me. What's in the past is in the past. I tried accepting it, but I can't.”

Their eyes met, and Kenneth drilled his gaze into her eyes as if he was trying to search her heart and soul.

Natasha did not evade his gaze but instead looked right at him.

After a long while, Kenneth finally let her go. “I understand,” he stated. Before Natasha could say anything else, he turned and walked away.

Not a few steps later, he halted his steps, and with his back facing her, he uttered, “There's no such thing as finding someone who is worth my time and effort. It's all about the people I'm willing to put effort into.” With that said, he left.

Just as Kenneth was about to exit the house, the front door was flung open, and Anthony and Benjamin came in.

Seeing the man flushing in fury, Anthony asked, “You're leaving already?”

“Yeah,” the man replied curtly, evidently not in a good mood.

“Did something happen?” Anthony inquired.

Kenneth glared back at the room before looking at the boys again. “It's nothing. Take care of your mother,” he reminded before walking out in big steps.

Anthony and Benjamin stared at one another.

“They must have had a fight,” Benjamin guessed.

Anthony turned around, wanting to go to the room, but his brother stopped him.

“What do you want to go there?”

“I want to see Nat,” Anthony replied in an anxious tone.

Sighing, Benjamin responded, “Do that later. Give her some time for

now.

“But—”

“I know you're worried about her. I am worried too, but they just had a fight, so just let Nat have some space. We'll go in once she calms down and is ready to talk to us,” Benjamin remarked

Anthony frowned looking at the room, but he still heeded Benjamin's advice.
