Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 540

Try as she might, Natasha couldn't fully put her feelings into words. She had always believed she was fighting alone, but after realizing that someone had been quietly supporting and protecting her all along, a wave of emotions washed over her. They were unfamiliar, yet somehow, they were also warm and comforting.

Just then, the waiter walked over with some food and furrowed his brows at the sight of Natasha. Thankfully, his frown quickly melted away when he saw Kenneth. “So, you found each other?”

Kenneth met the waiter's gaze and nodded politely.

“It must be fate, then. Why else would you be able to run into each other at a place like this?” the waiter said with a smile.

Once again, Kenneth gave him a nod. “Thank you.”

“Enjoy your meal.”

As Natasha watched the waiter walk away, something suddenly clicked in her mind. “Have you been coming back here to wait for me after that day?”

“You frequented this restaurant previously, but after that day, you never returned. I've been waiting for you here ever since. I even bought off the waiters so they can inform me the second they spot you,” Kenneth explained before shaking his head. “Unfortunately—”

“I went somewhere else after that day!” Natasha interrupted.

“I know,” Kenneth replied as he cut into his steak. He might not have said much, but it was enough.

Natasha took one look into his eyes and instantly understood everything. Oh, my goodness. Kenneth has been searching for me this whole time. He hasn't given up at all.

“I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd go looking for me...”

The next second, Kenneth's expression turned solemn. “But now you know, don't you, Nat? I'll follow you no matter where you go, so please don't leave without a word again.”

Natasha gazed at the man in front of her tenderly, her lips curled into a smile as she nodded. “Okay.”

Kenneth, too, broke into a smile and pushed his plate of neatly sliced steak toward Natasha.

“Thank you,” the latter said.

At that moment, all Kenneth could focus on was Natasha.

Meanwhile, the three kids could only exchange helpless glances.

Oh, gosh. Weren't we supposed to be here for some good food? Why does it feel like we've become the spectators of a romantic show?

Not knowing what else to say, the three little ones lowered their eyes and tucked into their meals silently.

Right then, Kenneth's phone suddenly rang once.

After checking the notification, he narrowed his eyes and muttered, “You guys carry on with your meal. I have a call to make.”

Natasha merely nodded.

As soon as Kenneth was out of earshot, she turned to the three kids and continued eating. “What's the matter? Why is everyone so quiet today?”

“We shouldn't have tagged along today, Nat,” Anthony replied.

“Oh, it's much more than that. It feels like our existence is pointless,” Benjamin chimed in.

Denise, too, was looking at Natasha. “Nat, I've lost my appetite after watching all that public display of affection.”

“Really?” Natasha quipped as she glanced at the dessert in front of her. “Looks like you won't be able to eat that, then. In that case, let me finish it for you.”

Seeing that, Denise hastily cupped the dessert in her hands. “I was just kidding, Nat!”

With that, Natasha, Anthony, and Benjamin promptly burst out laughing.

Denise cocked her head to one side and looked at Natasha curiously. “Nat, are you and Daddy dating? Have you guys made up?”

“What do you think? Should I reconcile with him?”

Denise nodded immediately. “Of course!”

Knowing that Denise had always been on Kenneth's side and would be keen to see them reconcile, Natasha shot her a glance. “Your opinion is irrelevant. Anthony and Benjamin, what do you guys think?”
