Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 418

Dave thought Kenneth had waxed poetic about the joys of having children just to tease him.

However, after seeing the adorable and lovable Denise on the video call, Dave realized Kenneth had been telling the truth.

Kenneth's joy had been indescribable, and he evidently missed his daughter dearly.

Nonetheless, Dave griped about Kenneth's behavior earlier. “Why did you move away? What's wrong with letting me look at your daughter?”

“I don't want you to scare her!”

Exasperated, Dave argued, “Why must you talk about such nonsense?”

Kenneth could not help but laugh while Dave added, “Your sons are in Darknetz, and here you are worried that I'll frighten your precious daughter?”

After some thought, Kenneth nodded and admitted, “I guess you have a point.”

“And since when have you become so stingy?”

Kenneth returned, “I'm not going to let just anyone meet my daughter, you know!”

His expression caused Dave to frown, and the latter asked, “Are you just boasting now, Kenneth?”

“Am I?”

“Yes, judging by your expression!”

Kenneth raised his brow but did not deny Dave's words. “Maybe I am!”

Despite his irritation, Dave's thoughts soon moved to another matter.

He stared at Kenneth with slightly narrowed eyes and asked, “What's your daughter's name?”

“Denise!”

“D? It starts with the fourth letter of the alphabet?”

“Yes!”

“Why not start with 'C?’” Dave added, “Do you have another kid that I don't know about?”

Kenneth pondered his question and replied, “Just didn't feel like giving her a name starting with 'C.’”

“Why?”

“Do I need a reason?”

Dave shrugged and let the issue go.

“Why didn't you go for a more aristocratic name?” he asked next.

Kenneth explained, “I think Denise is a simple and beautiful name.”

Dave stared at him and deadpanned, “Are you sure you're not simply blinded by the owner of that name?”

Displeased, Kenneth fired back, “What do you know? You won't understand since you don't have kids.”

“I feel as though you're attacking my bachelorhood.”

“Your instinct would be spot on if you removed the words 'I feel.’”

Once again, Dave was speechless at Kenneth's glib response.

Kenneth clearly would not allow anyone near his precious daughter.

Some thought later, Dave suggested, “I have an idea. Could I run it by you?”

“No!” came Kenneth's swift rejection.

Dave knitted his brows and argued, “You haven't even heard it yet!”

“I don't need to!”

Dave fixed Kenneth with an annoyed glare and said, “Don't you think you're overreacting, Kenneth?”

“You know me better than that.”

At last, Dave had nothing to say to that. He decided to change tack and play the friend card. “Hey, we're closer friends than that. Can't you let me say my piece?”

“Of course, but I'd advise you to drop whatever idea you've cooked up in your head right now,” warned Kenneth.

Dave did not heed his advice and suggested, “Can I be your children's godfather?”

“No!”

Dave frowned and whined, “Come on. Aren't you going to give it a little consideration?”

“Not a chance!” Kenneth was firm.

Dave pleaded, “I may never have kids in the future. I'm happy to give everything I have to your kids if I'm their godfather. Why won't you allow me to do that?”

Drily, Kenneth retorted, “Can't I give them enough?”

“The more, the merrier, right?”
