Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 451

Feigning nonchalance, Natasha looked up at him. “What's the matter? Do you not know about this?”

“About what?”

Natasha curled her lips into a sneer. “It seems that you are not aware of all the news.”

Boss narrowed his eyes at her.

Natasha deliberately pretended to be in a dilemma, knitting her delicate brows and arranging her gorgeous facial features into a mischievous look. “Let's put it this way. Kenneth is my ex-husband.”

A surprised look flashed across Boss' face.

Natasha continued having her meal and said casually, “I married him a few years ago, but he was such a jerk, so we filed for a divorce.”

Taking in her unconcerned demeanor, Boss could not help but feel curious despite enduring the unbearable pain in his chest. “That's it?”

“That's right.” Natasha nodded. “That's it.”

Boss looked at her in utter perplexity.

“Perhaps I was too ugly a few years ago, so he disliked me, but now”—Natasha let out a chuckle—“I suppose all men judge women by their appearance. Nevertheless, I don't care about such a superficial relationship.”

“Ugly?” Boss regarded her with a confused look.

Although Boss spent most of his time abroad, his perception of female beauty was not affected by the foreign girls' appearances. In his opinion, Natasha was one of the most beautiful women he had seen. A woman as charming as her was difficult to be found even in the entertainment industry, so her self-description of being ugly baffled him.

Natasha contemplated briefly before saying, “Maybe I was not skilled in preening myself in the past, so I was slightly uglier, I think?” Up until that moment, she did not feel that she was hideous. Instead, she found it highly tedious because she had to spend a lot of time and effort primping herself. However, she had made it a habit under Denise's constant reminders.

Still, Boss remained unconvinced. How ugly can someone like her be even without dolling herself up? She's not wearing any makeup at the moment, yet she still looks as captivating as ever. Her tender skin is so fair, and her beauty has a natural elegance. She's so mesmerizing that I find it hard to take my eyes off her.

“So, are you saying you don't love him?” Boss asked.

“Love?” Natasha frowned. “I did love him.”

“How about now?”

“I don't love him anymore the moment we divorced.”

“Can one's feelings be manipulated so easily?”

“One's feelings may not be easily manipulated, but there is only so much hurt and disappointment one's heart can sustain. Why should I continue loving someone who used to disdain me?” Natasha reverted the question to him.

Boss stared at her, seemingly doubtful about what she said.

A few moments later, he grinned. “If you don't love him anymore, why are you two still entangled? I can see that he's willing to sacrifice his life for your sake.”

Natasha's heart shuddered instantaneously. She did not know what interactions between her and Kenneth prompted Boss to come up with such a conclusion. Nonetheless, the only thing she could do at that moment was to act as if she could not care less.

“That's right. He resorted to all kinds of methods to ditch me in the past. And now, he can do the same to possess me.”

Listening to her tone, Boss thought Natasha was genuinely uninterested in Kenneth. “In that case, should I help you kill him?”

Natasha was taken aback as she looked at him in silence.

“What's the matter? Is your heart aching for him?” Boss chirped. Even though his lips were turning paler and his face a sickly shade, he continued to endure the agony. His yellow pupils gleamed as if they could read someone else's mind.
