Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 373

“All right, then. I guess I’ll call Nat before I go to bed.” Denise kept her phone away.

Although there was something disturbing in the atmosphere, she seemed to have not noticed that.

Right then, Benjamin spoke. “There seems to be quite a bit of a problem with Nat's trip. I just couldn't reach her phone!”

Denise frowned immediately. “Why is that?” “Who knows?” Benjamin said. Denise gave it a thought before saying, “This means that Nat must be having a hard time, right? It's decided! We will reward her when she gets back!”

Benjamin nodded at her suggestion.

Denise stopped talking as she dug into her desserts.

As the breeze brushed gently on her face, the dessert, as well as scenery, had Denise's entirely occupied.

After some time, Denise drew her attention back from her dessert, looked toward somewhere far away, and mumbled, “To be honest, I really miss Nat. This is the first time I've been away from her side for so long...”

Silence engulfed Benjamin and Anthony.

“All right, now.” Kenneth broke the silence. “You should hurry up and finish your food, or they will not taste good anymore.”

Denise stared at the dessert sitting on the table in front of her. She forced a smile and continued eating her food.

When Kenneth drove them back home, it was already very late.

The car came to a complete stop right in front of the entrance of the manor. Denise looked at him and asked, “Daddy, why don't you stay with us for tonight? It's very late now.”

Yet, as much as he felt heartbroken, Kenneth forced himself to turn Denise down despite seeing how much Denise wanted him to stay with them. “No. Daddy still has something else to attend to. Once I'm done with my work, I'll come for a short stay. I promise!”

Denise nodded after hearing that. “All right. I have to join the film crew tomorrow either way. Anyway, Daddy, have a pleasant journey. I'll be waiting for you to return with Nat!”

“Sure.” Kenneth nodded.

Benjamin was the second one who got out of the car, with Anthony being the last. However, before Anthony got out of the car, he attempted to say something, only to find himself tongue-tied as he looked at Kenneth.

Kenneth turned toward him and said, “Trust me. I'll keep my promise!”

Anthony nodded and got out of the car upon receiving the reassurance he needed from Kenneth. When Anthony bent over, Kenneth precisely noticed that there was nothing on his neck. Something flickered in his eyes for a second before he got out as well. “Anthony!" Kenneth suddenly called out, to which Anthony stopped and turned around.

Kenneth walked toward Anthony and said, “I remember you always had this necklace with you. Why is it not with you today?”

Anthony was momentarily stunned.

“I've gifted it to someone.”

“Oh? Who is this person?”

“A classmate,” Anthony replied calmly.

When Kenneth saw Anthony’s calm look, an indescribable emotion flickered in his eyes. Shortly after, he nodded and said, “I see.”

“Is there a problem?” Anthony asked.

“Nothing. I was just asking because I suddenly remembered about it.”

Anthony did not explain any further. “I'll be heading in now.”

“Okay.” Kenneth nodded, then looked toward the other two standing beside him. “Make sure you rest early and get enough sleep.”

“Yes, Daddy. Be careful on the road!” Denise said sweetly, putting on a wide smile.

Kenneth smiled in return. Only after watching that the children had entered the manor did he drive away.
