Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 50

However, Caroline maintained a generous attitude. “Hello, Ms. Watson.”

Natasha stood up, looked at her, and nodded calmly. “Hello.”

“Do you have time, Ms. Watson? I'd like to have a short chat with you,” asked Caroline.

Staring at her, Natasha thought about it for a while before saying, “I'm not familiar with you, so there's nothing that we can chat about. I'm sorry.” She was not being too blunt. Instead, she knew very clearly what Caroline's intentions were and did not want to waste any time on that matter.

However, Thea panicked. “Why are you so rude, Natasha? My mom wants to chat with you. What's up with your attitude?”

Natasha threw a glance at her calmly. “Are you saying that I must agree if you want to chat with me? Do I not even have the right to refuse?”

“You...”

“Thea!” Caroline pulled her back before saying with a smile, “Ms. Watson is right. I was too hasty.”

“Mom!”

Caroline stared at Natasha quietly with an intrigued smile.

Naturally, Natasha noticed it. She nodded at Caroline slightly as a gesture of respect.

At that moment, Kenneth had just walked out of his meeting. Knowing that Natasha was waiting outside, he sprinted over.

Coincidentally, he was greeted by this scene.

When Thea spotted Kenneth, she immediately approached him. “Kenneth.”

He looked at her. “Aren't you taking a break? Why did you come to the office?”

“I passed by, so I came up to grab some stuff,” explained Thea.

At that moment, Kenneth caught sight of Natasha.

Thea observed them briefly before saying, “Oh, right. Kenneth, this is my mom.”

“Hello, Mr. Hamilton.” Caroline grinned. “It's been a long time, but you've become even more handsome.”

Looking back at her, Kenneth smiled.

“Thank you for the compliment. How have the past few days been?”

“Good.”

“I wanted to treat you to a meal, but I'm too busy with work to find any free time. If you stay for a few more days, I can host you properly then,” said Kenneth.

“Why don't we just have a meal today?” asked Caroline.

Kenneth frowned and glanced at Natasha.

“Ms. Watson can join us,” invited Caroline.

“No thanks,” refused Natasha curtly. “I have work to do, so I have to go back to my office.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Kenneth. “Mr. Hamilton, since you're busy, let's talk another day.” With that, she nodded and left.

For some reason, an indescribable feeling surfaced within Kenneth as he stared at her back.

It felt like if he let her leave, she would disappear like what she did a few years ago.

“I'm afraid that I can't join you for a meal, Mrs. Jarman. I'll treat you next time.” Before they could say anything, Kenneth chased after Natasha.

“Kenneth!” Thea called out.

He did not even turn his head around, leaving Thea standing there motionlessly.

Did I miss something? I didn't come to the office for two days, but why does Kenneth seem different now? What happened between them?

Still smiling, Caroline looked at Thea and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Thea, no matter how upset you might be, don't reveal it on your face. Others might see you as a joke.”

Thea glanced around. She wanted to force out a smile, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not.
