Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 499

At that moment, Natasha was no longer the type of person who would lose her temper and rationality upon receiving a piece of news like that.

She didn't miss the look of hatred that flashed past Boss' eyes. In fact, it seemed as though he hated Will more than her.

Staring at him, she smiled indifferently. “Is that so?”

Despite the coldness in her smile, her voice was pleasant, especially when she uttered the last word.

“You don't believe me?” he asked.

“Do you think your words still hold any value to me?” Natasha spat, her face clearly portraying her unwillingness to believe him.

After taking a deep breath, Boss spoke with a hoarse voice. “I admit, I wanted to use you, but I've never wanted to hurt you.”

“Never?” Mockery was seen in her eyes.

Pursing his lips, he corrected, “After I met you.”

Natasha sneered, “Yet you tried to use me as a meat shield to block bullets previously.”

As Boss stared at her, he uttered one word at a time, “That's because those bullets wouldn't hit you.”

Her gaze remained fixed on him as she pursed her lips.

He studied her. “If my guess is correct, that accident was perpetrated by someone.”

It wasn't necessary for him to spell out who for Natasha to know who he was talking about.

She was still pursing her lips as she stared at him silently and alertly.

That suspicion had crossed her mind at the time, but she didn't expect him to think so, too. I never expected him to connect the dots. Even though he already has suspicions, he still never expressed them. He's definitely very shrewd.

The edges of Boss' mouth suddenly curved upward as he stared at the silent Natasha and tried to act casually. “Don't worry; I don't mean anything else by that. I just want to tell you I'm not going to deny the fact that I used you, but I've never had any intentions of hurting you.”

“Why?” she blurted.

Why? That made him ponder for a moment before he answered, “I'm not sure why. Maybe because you're different from any other woman I've met before?”

“Is it really because I'm different from other women, or is it just because you can use me to help you deal with General Will?” Her eyes flickered as she suddenly asked.

Boss stared at her, stunned.

Natasha met his gaze unwaveringly. With a faint smile, she said in a certain tone, “You seem to hate him more than me.”

It was his turn to stay silent.

Moments later, he confessed under her stare, “Yes, I do hate him. So much so that I wish I could kill him.”

She remained silent as she stared at him slyly.

It was her turn to listen to a story.

Hatred flashed past Boss' eyes before he recounted slowly, “I had a sister a few years younger than me. When she was ten, I went on a mission. However, when I returned, I heard General Will had brought her out, and she was caught by the enemy. She was then killed by them.”

As a mother, Natasha felt sorry for him when she heard that.

If it were her children who suffered that fate, she would've lost her mind.

To her surprise, Boss smiled nonchalantly. “Guess what happened next? One time, I accidentally overheard a conversation between someone and a person who went on that same mission with General Will. It turns out that General Will intentionally left my sister there before running away. He used a child to ensure he could escape successfully.”
