Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 285

“Really?” Denise stared piteously at Kenneth with her tearful eyes.

“Yes, I promise you!” Kenneth said.

“You must promise me that in the future, you'll appear immediately when I need you! You must protect me forever!” Denise whimpered.

“Definitely! You have my word!” Kenneth assured.

Under Kenneth's gentle comforting, Denise gradually calmed down.

Natasha sat by the side and quietly watched the two.

After a while, a pitiful-looking Denise finally stopped crying and looked at her daddy.

That was when Kenneth said, “Daddy's not the only one worried about you. Your mommy almost went crazy when she couldn't find you.”

Denise was still a little dazed. She followed Kenneth's gaze and finally saw Natasha seated behind her.

It took her a while to register, then she immediately threw herself into Natasha's arms and whimpered, “Nat...”

Natasha looked down at the childish little girl who was snuggling up to her and smilingly quipped, “What is it?”

“I was so scared, cold, and hungry! And I missed you so much!” Denise replied in a whiny voice.

Natasha did not tease her and ask if she missed her mommy or daddy more. Instead, she was overwhelmed by guilt and worry when she looked at her child.

She caressed Denise's hair and muttered, “I'm sorry, Denise. You suffered because of Mommy's negligence. I'll definitely seek justice on your behalf!”

Denise looked up from her arms and cooed, “You're the best, Nat!”

“Do you want to tell me what happened?” Natasha tenderly asked.

Although they had a good idea of what had transpired, she was keen to find out more details from Denise.

“I was too naive and fell for his lie!” Denise muttered with embarrassment.

Natasha looked on as Kenneth probed, “What actually happened?”

Denise let out a sigh and shared,

“After we finished filming that day, I called Nat, then got ready to leave for home. Suddenly, a man came out of the studio and shouted for me. I thought he was one of my colleagues, so I went over to him. Little did I expect him to knock me out. When I woke up, I was already in the mountains!”

Kenneth's eyes were burning with rage when he heard that.

“Did you leave those markings in the mountains for us?” Natasha asked.

Denise nodded and explained, “I couldn't find my way out, so I left those markings, hoping for you to see them and find me!”

The girl was smart, no doubt about it.

“What about this?” Natasha took out the watch and asked.

“Why is this with you, Nat? I didn't even know when I lost it! I thought I'll never see it again!” Denise's eyes lit up when she saw the watch in Natasha's hand.

If she was wearing the watch, she would have been found much earlier, and wouldn't have to suffer for so long in the mountains.

“Since you treasure it so much, then keep it safe, and don't lose it again!” Natasha said, and Denise nodded earnestly.

“That man... Did he say anything to you, or do anything bad to you?” Natasha continued probing.

Denise shook her head and said, “No. He just abandoned me there and left. Before he left, he even gave me two bottles of water... I have no idea why he did that to me! I don't know him, and I definitely did not offend him in any way...

“Whatever the reason, the fact is he did something bad to you!” Natasha fumed.

Denise kept quiet. Like Natasha and Kenneth, she was also a dispassionate person who could not condone any evil deed. She would not find excuses for the man just because he was kind enough to leave her two bottles of water.

There was simply no good enough reason to justify harming anyone!

“You'll have to seek justice for me, Nat!” After some deliberation, Denise finally opened her mouth and spoke.

“Shouldn't you get your daddy to do that?” Natasha teased.
