Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 296

After a long time, Sharon's sniffles became softer and softer and her tears dried.

She felt immensely better after crying.

Turning her eyes to Denise, Sharon took a few deep breaths to compose herself. “No matter what, Denise, I should still be held accountable. No matter what you say, I was still somewhat responsible for all that had happened. Your parents entrusted you to me, yet I failed them—and you— by allowing such things to happen! Because of that, I'm willing to do anything you want me to do and accept every punishment you think I deserve. You decide!”

Denise's brows knitted together. “So you'll do everything that I say, no

matter what it is?”

Sharon nodded her head in determination. “Mm-hmm! I will try my best to fulfill your wishes!”

“Your words, not mine!” Denise looked at Sharon up and down.

Staring back at Denise, Sharon nodded. “I promise!”

Denise mulled it over for a few seconds before looking back at Sharon. “I've always liked the sunglasses you're wearing now. Can I have them?”

Sharon was dumbfounded. “J-Just that?”

“Yup!” Denise nodded vigorously. “You were wearing the same pair of sunglasses when I saw you the last time. I tried looking for the same brand or even a similar style, but I couldn't find any. So... can you give it to me?”

Sharon was rendered speechless as she did not see that coming.

“Are you sure that's all you want?”

“Why are you asking? Are you reluctant to give it away?” Denise questioned.

“Of course not!” Sharon denied it immediately. “I-It's just that... Do you want it now?”

“Yup!” Denise nodded.

Sharon hesitated. She knew that Denise was like a princess. Kenneth would do anything within his power to get her what she wanted. The pair of sunglasses was just Denise's way of letting herself off easily.

But...

Sharon reached up and touched her sunglasses hesitantly.

“You really do seem attached to it.” Denise pouted.

“No, I'm not!” After a brief pause, Sharon sighed in resignation and took off her sunglasses before handing them to Denise. “Here you go!”

Denise had originally intended it as a joke. However, at the sight of Sharon's swollen and bloodshot eyes, Denise froze.

Her eyes were so red and swollen that they seemed to be bruising.

Denise was at a loss for words. After a long moment of silence, she called out softly, “Sharon...”

“What is it?” Sharon lowered her head.

“Did Daddy give you a hard time?”

It would be no surprise to her if Kenneth had poured out his rage on Sharon after she had gone missing.

Sharon kept her head low. “He didn't. And even if he does, I deserve every bit of it!” Guilt overcame Sharon once again. She had promised to take good care of Denise, only to lose her.

Denise turned to look at Kenneth, who was standing next to her. Unable to blame him for his reaction, Denise looked at Sharon once again. “I apologize on Daddy's behalf. He must have been extremely anxious at that time. Please don't be mad at Daddy.”

Upon hearing those words, Sharon lifted her head and stared at Denise in disbelief. This girl is truly an angel. She was the one who went missing. She should be the one who's making a fuss right now, yet here she is, comforting me instead.

“I was afraid that you'd be mad at me!” Sharon smiled bitterly.

“Why would I?” Denise looked at Sharon. An innocent grin broke out on her tiny face. “All of you care for me so deeply! It's truly a blessing to have known all of you!”

At the sight of Denise's huge grin, Sharon felt her heart being filled up with warmth.

It was as though everything was perfect.

Finally, Sharon's lips curled up into a smile as well.

Upon receiving the news that Denise had been found, the director of the film crew came to visit as well, bringing baskets of fresh fruits and bouquets of flowers.
