Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 570

When she raised her head, she saw Kenneth smiling at her.

Why is he still thinking about this now?

Natasha continued to wrap up his arm before turning to leave without a word.

Sensing that Natasha was angry, Kenneth shot forward to grab her. “Nat.”

Natasha did not dare to forcibly leave, for she was afraid that she would tear his wound. That was why she stayed rooted to her spot in silence instead.

Kenneth walked over and hugged her from behind. “What's the matter? Are you still angry?”

Silence answered him.

Kenneth leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, “I've already apologized, but you're still angry?”

“What I want to hear isn't your apology,” she gritted out to him.

“What is it, then?”

Natasha turned to him and asked, “Was Boss the one who hurt you?”

It was then Kenneth realized what the situation was. He smiled at her and said, “That's what you were worried about?”

Natasha narrowed her eyes and stared at him somberly.

Kenneth then put his hands on her shoulders and reassured her, “No, this has nothing to do with him.”

The way she was looking at him told him that she did not quite believe him.

Hence, Kenneth continued, “Something happened at DX Group's base. I went there with Dave, and before going there, I wondered if Boss was behind it as well. However, the truth is that he has nothing to do with it.”

“Really?” Natasha questioned.

Kenneth nodded. “Really.”

“Then why didn't you want Dave to tell me about it?”

Kenneth softly muttered, “I was afraid that you would be worried.”

Natasha sensed that his words had another meaning to them.

Thus, she asked, “So, what did you do yesterday?”

Kenneth blinked in surprise. “Nothing; we just went out to get payback for the guy who was caught up in the incident.”

“Is that all?”

Kenneth nodded.

I'm not lying if I'm being vague about it, right?

Natasha knew that Kenneth was not telling her everything, but still, he was mostly unscathed, so she found herself relaxing.

She stood on her toes and hugged him.

“You have no idea what I was thinking about. I was planning to go all out against Boss if he really hurt you.”

Hearing that, Kenneth turned and buried his face in the crook of her neck. “Am I being protected?”

Natasha said nothing else as she continued to hug him.

When he sensed her tightening hug, he smiled.

After what seemed like eons, he said, “Nat, I'm fine with you hugging me, but are you sure you're not going to let me take a shower and change into fresh clothes?”

It was only then Natasha let go of him and glimpsed at his wound. “You can't take a shower. Your injury mustn't come into contact with water.”

Kenneth blinked a few times at that before teasing, “Well, it's not as if we've run out of choices. Why don't you help me shower?”

His words rendered Natasha speechless.

Then, as she looked right at Kenneth's teasing expression, she uttered, “Keep dreaming!”

Nevertheless, Kenneth continued to cling to her as he muttered, “Nat, you were the one who invited me to it last night, but you ended up ditching me and going to sleep. Don't you think you should compensate me for that?”

“And how do I do that?”

“What do you think?” he asked, his eyes filled with desire.

Natasha thought about it for a while before lifting her head to give him a sweet smile. “Fine.”

Kenneth was momentarily taken aback. He was only teasing her. Yet, to his surprise, she had agreed to it.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

She nodded and said firmly, “Yes.”

Her response made a sheen of red coat Kenneth's dark eyes.
