Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 569

The next morning, Natasha was hit with the realization that she had forgotten something.

She then turned to the spot beside her; no one was there. She reached out to touch the bed, but there were no signs of anyone sleeping there. Immediately, her brows furrowed.

Did Kenneth not come back last night? He's the kind of person who would leave everything behind and come, though...

After a moment of hesitation, Natasha got out of bed to wash up. After cleaning herself up, she went out of the room.

She halted in her tracks when she walked past Denise's room. Then, she turned to head toward it.

After knocking on the door, Natasha looked down and noticed that it was unlocked. Hence, she pushed the door open and entered.

Denise was sprawled on the bed, sound asleep.

Natasha could not stop her lips from curling at the sight of her daughter. She walked over to tuck away the girl's messy strands of hair before saying, “Lazy little bug, how are you all sweaty from just sleeping?”

Denise groggily opened her eyes. When she registered the face in front of her as her mother's, she mumbled, “Nat, why are you up so early?”

“I... slept early last night,” Natasha replied.

That seemed to make Denise sober up a little as the girl looked at her before scanning her surroundings.

“What are you looking for?” Natasha asked.

She narrowed her eyes and queried, “Where's Daddy?”

“I'm right here, yet you're looking for Daddy?” Natasha responded, deliberately making herself look jealous.

“That's not it. I stopped Daddy before he could go back to your room last night. I asked Daddy to tuck me in, and he said he wanted to return to your room to make me a little sister...” As Denise spoke, a smile crept onto her face.

The very thought of it made her happy.

Natasha stiffened.

Help Denise make a little sister? Did I say yes to it?

She furrowed her brows. If that was what Kenneth told Denise, then where is he?

With that thought in mind, Natasha turned to Denise and said in a soft voice, “It's still early, so sleep for a little longer.”

Denise was still tired, so she nodded and replied, “Okay.”

After lying back down, Denise rolled onto her side and fell back asleep.

Natasha only stood up and stepped out of the room after tucking the girl in.

Did something happen last night?

As Natasha mulled over the matter, she went down the stairs. Yet, just as she took two steps down, she heard a voice from the doorway.

“It's unlikely that they'll do anything rash after today, but regardless of everything, we have to be on our guards still. Have the others be careful, too,” Kenneth said.

“Don't worry. I've made the arrangements for that.”

“Okay.”

“You, on the other hand, are what I have to talk about. If Natasha catches a glimpse of your injury, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time explaining things to her!” Dave said. Right as those words left his mouth, he saw the person on the top of the stairs.

He froze.

Since Kenneth did not realize that Natasha was within hearing range, he replied, “It's fine. I'll explain it to her. As long as you say nothing about this, I'll be fine.”

“Ahem.” Dave intentionally cleared his throat.

They had been working together for many years, so Kenneth registered Dave's hint right away. Lifting a brow, he then suspiciously raked his gaze across his surroundings. When he finally saw the woman at the stairs, he tensed up.

The two of them looked disheveled when Natasha saw them, and she heard what they had said.

Dave and Kenneth shared a look before Kenneth said with a smile, “Nat, why are you up so early today?”

A menacing smile grew on Natasha's lips, and she ambled her way down the stairs. Every step she took sent a chill running down their spines.

“Yes, if I wasn't early, I wouldn't have heard what you guys just said,” she uttered in a low voice.

Words eluded Kenneth.

Soon, Natasha was at the bottom of the stairs. At that moment, Dave said, “Um, I'll go to the room to wash up. Enjoy your talk.”

With that said, he hastily excused himself from the area before they could even respond.

Kenneth parted his lips to say something upon seeing Dave scurry away, but when he saw the look Natasha was giving him, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
