Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 542

Kenneth stared back at her. However, as soon as he met her eyes, he could not help but step forward and pull her into his embrace, hugging her tightly.

Natasha's long eyelashes fluttered, for she was taken aback by his sudden actions. Even so, she could feel him shaking with anxiousness.

“What's wrong? What happened?” asked Natasha.

Only after a long time did Kenneth answer, “Nothing. I just wanted to hug you.”

Upon hearing that, Natasha smiled and let him continue hugging her instead of pushing him away.

Nonetheless, he seemed to have no intention of letting her go even as the seconds ticked by. It didn't take long for them to attract the passersby's attention, making them turn their heads to look at the couple.

Natasha did not mind their gazes, but she did not think they should hug each other like that for the rest of the night.

“Kenneth, more people are going to stare if you don't let me go,” said Natasha.

“I don't care,” responded Kenneth nonchalantly.

“But it's getting hard for me to breathe, too.”

When Kenneth heard that, he finally came to a realization and slowly let her go.

His gaze was filled with guilt as he stared at her.

At the same time, Natasha sensed his odd behavior, albeit not knowing what had happened to him. “What happened exactly?”

Kenneth noticed her gaze and knew it would be hard to fool her if he did not come up with something soon.

After pondering for some time, he finally spoke. “It's nothing. I just remembered the past and felt that I've failed you.”

Eyeing him, Natasha queried, “Didn't you say you regained your memories already?”

“Most of it, yes, but I just remembered some details.”

Upon hearing that, Natasha nodded thoughtfully while gazing at him. “Kenneth, you don't owe me anything. You lost your memory because of me, so I didn't blame you for anything.”

“But I do. I blame myself for forgetting you, hurting you, and not being by your side when you encountered all that,” said Kenneth.

“Says who? Weren't you with me when I was in danger at the hospital? You even took several stabs on my behalf. I remember that moment very clearly. During that time, I felt your presence with me all the time, as if you never left.”

At the mention of that, Kenneth leaned closer and held her face. “Really?”

Natasha nodded, which put a smile on his face. However, his gaze darkened as he continued boring into hers.

Natasha returned his gaze as well. For some unknown reason, she found Kenneth's behavior odd that night.

“Are you planning to stand here like this all night? Those three kiddos are still waiting for us, you know?” she reminded.

Kenneth immediately looked up. Sure enough, the three children were staring right at them.

The sight of them put a smile on his face.

“Let's go,” prompted Natasha.

Kenneth nodded, and they walked over, naturally slipping their hands into each other's as if they had practiced that a million times.

Even when the duo returned to their seats, the children's cheeky gaze never left them.

The next moment, Kenneth turned to them and asked, “What is it? Just speak your mind.”

Denise was the first to raise her hand. “I'll go first.”

Hearing that, Kenneth shifted his gaze and gestured for her to speak.

“Daddy, you took advantage of Nat in front of a crowd. Don't you think you should take responsibility for it?” questioned Denise.

Kenneth nodded after hearing that. “I should.”

“How are you planning to do that?” Denise interrogated.

“What about marrying her?”

“Deal!” Denise accepted the answer in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile, Natasha was dumbfounded. “Does my opinion not matter?”

“Nat, it's hard to find someone as handsome as Daddy. Besides, having someone like him at home will be a treat for your eyes. So why don't you just take him?” Denise suggested, grinning mischievously.

When Kenneth heard that, he nodded in agreement, whispering, “I don't eat much, I'm good at making money, and I work hard. So why don't you think about it?”

Natasha frowned. Why do I have a feeling he meant something else when he said he'll work hard?
