Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 543

It was already late by the time they arrived home.

Denise had fallen asleep during the long journey back, so Kenneth held onto her while Natasha chatted away with Anthony and Benjamin. They looked exactly like how a warm, perfect family should be.

As soon as they walked in, Anthony glanced around before turning to them. “It's getting late, Nat, so we'll be going to sleep.”

“Okay.” Natasha nodded. It was late, indeed.

“Good night, Nat!” said Benjamin.

“Good night.”

After watching the boys return to their respective rooms, Kenneth headed upstairs with Denise in his arms with Natasha following behind.

“Let her sleep in my room. I'll accompany her tonight,” Natasha offered the moment they arrived upstairs. She hadn't seen Denise for so long and truly missed her.

Yet, Kenneth pondered for a moment before responding, “She hasn't had any proper sleep the whole time, so why don't we let her sleep in her own room tonight?” With that, he walked into the room next to Anthony's.

Natasha didn't think much of it and followed him in, assuming he just wanted the best for Denise.

The little girl didn't even stir when being tucked into bed, although perhaps the hot weather had resulted in some hair being stuck to her cheeks. With her smooth skin and long eyelashes, she looked just like a porcelain doll.

Natasha smiled with contentment as she gazed at Denise.

She gently tucked the girl's hair behind her ear. Then, the latter rolled over and continued sleeping soundly.

She's just a little girl, but she keeps acting like an adult.

Kenneth's lips curled similarly as he adjusted his daughter's blanket before turning to Natasha. “Let's go.”

Natasha nodded and left reluctantly.

She turned to him after closing the door. “I can tell how happy they were today.”

Kenneth nodded in agreement.

“It's late, so I'll be hitting the sack too,” Natasha concluded.

“Good night.” Kenneth looked at her.

“Good night.” She grinned at him before turning and walking to her room.

“Nat!” Kenneth suddenly called out to her.

She turned her head in puzzlement. “What is it?”

Kenneth took two steps forward and gazed at her deeply, his eyes filled with affection and a faint sparkle that one might easily overlook. “What you said to me earlier tonight...”

“What?” Natasha raised an eyebrow.

He pursed his thin lips while continuing to stare at her for a brief moment of silence. “Whatever you told me, I'm going to take your word for it.”

“I meant exactly what I said in the first place,” Natasha replied as soon as his words fell.

Kenneth froze as a wave of emotions swirled within his darkened gaze. “Do you know what I'm talking about, Nat? I'm referring to—”

“I know what you mean,” Natasha cut him off while glancing at him tenderly. “Didn't you keep asking me if I wanted to be with you? My answer is yes. I'm serious.”

A look of complication surfaced in Kenneth's narrowed eyes as a devilish aura emanated from his divinely handsome face.
