Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 394

Upon hearing his words, Dave pursed his lips tightly.

Even though he had no clue as to what Kenneth had gone through over the past few years, he could clearly feel the latter's desperation and anxiety.

In contrast to the usual Kenneth, who never seemed to care for anything, this was the first time he saw his friend visibly worried.

Holding that thought, he threw his arm around Kenneth's shoulder. “Regardless of what you plan to do, you have my unconditional support and blessing.”

At that moment, Kenneth looked at Dave from the corner of his eyes.

As if words were not needed, both men shared a deep and unspoken understanding with each other.

Dave added, “I sincerely mean it!”

Kenneth, too, couldn't help but smile. “I know. I was just thinking of inviting you to be my best man during my wedding.”

At the sound of the suggestion, Dave narrowed his eyes cheekily, “I would advise you to reconsider. Or else, it would be bad if I end up stealing the limelight from you.”

“Even though I have no idea where you got such confidence from, I would like to remind you not to let your imagination run wild.”

Dave burst into laughter.

After their short banter, Kenneth no longer felt as tense.

Nevertheless, his eyes were still tinged with anxiety.

At that moment, Dave advised, “I know how concerned you feel right now, and whatever I say won't change a thing. But, we have ascertained that she's safe and not in captivity. Isn't that what's most important?”

Kenneth nodded in silence.

He couldn't deny how relieved he was to learn that she was safe.

“Don't worry. Since we ran into her today, it means that we're not far off from finding her,” Dave reassured him.

His words triggered an idea in Kenneth's mind. “Dave, do you remember what the receptionist said just now?”

“What?”

“He mentioned that she had dined in the restaurant twice. That's an indication that she lives nearby, for she's someone inherently lazy and would never travel far for a meal. Therefore, she must be staying around this area!” Kenneth exclaimed.

The more he thought about it, the more certain he became. “That's right. This has to be it. She has never been picky about food and would definitely choose someplace nearby!”

No sooner had Kenneth finished than an idea struck Dave. Without a moment's hesitation, he picked up his phone to make a call.

A few minutes later, Dave came over and looked at Kenneth. “I have ordered my men to move into this area. Don't worry; they will sweep every corner of this place, and we will definitely find her.”

As Kenneth stared at the surroundings, an unfathomable look glistened in his eyes.

Natasha, no matter where you are, I'll definitely find you!

Meanwhile, Natasha had returned to the hotel.

After taking a quick bath, she walked up to the computer and turned it on with a solemn expression.

It was then that her phone suddenly rang.

Thinking that it was Boss, she froze when her phone indicated it was Terence.

Kenneth must have realized that I've left by now. As for Anthony and the rest, they are probably aware of the same too.

After giving it some thought, she decided to take the call.

“Grandpa.”

“Nat, are you busy?” Terence asked.

From his tone, Natasha could tell that Terence wasn't aware of the matter yet.

“I'm not busy. I'm just resting.”

“When will you be done over there?”

“It'll still take some time, as the matter is more complex than I imagined,” Natasha explained.

“Complex? Even for you?” Terence was surprised.

“Grandpa, I'm talking about the collaboration, not the actual matter itself,” Natasha elaborated.

“It's not that bad then. I was wondering what sort of problem was capable of causing my granddaughter grief.” Terence chuckled over the phone.

His words filled Natasha with a sudden sense of guilt.
