Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 577

Silence hung in the air for some time.

Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances before turning to peek at Kenneth.

“Why are you guys not talking?” Denise questioned.

Benjamin immediately walked over and covered her mouth.

Kenneth's gaze fell on them due to Benjamin's action, and he narrowed his eyes.

Denise broke free from Benjamin's grasp and frowned at him. “What are you doing? If you guys don't dare to say it, I'll say it for you!”

Anthony and Benjamin were speechless.

No thanks!

Kenneth examined them and questioned, “Is what Denise said true?”

It was the truth even if they were reluctant to admit it.

Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances before the former braced himself and nodded.

Kenneth fell silent.

Nobody knew what to do in the wake of his silence.

Anthony and Benjamin stood in one row. No one dared to say anything. It was as if they were waiting for Kenneth to lose it.

A long while later, Kenneth suddenly turned to look at Natasha and asked, “Nat, what do you think about this matter?”

Everyone's attention fell on Natasha.

Natasha replied, “One must endure certain hardships before one succeeds. I suppose this is their fate, and I will respect their decisions.”

Upon hearing that, he nodded and thought about it for a while. “When are you guys leaving?”

They had expected Kenneth to be angry, so they were taken aback momentarily as they saw his calm demeanor.

Anthony was the first to snap back to reality and replied, “We will leave after you guys depart. Thalia will come and pick us up.”

Hearing that, Kenneth frowned. “Can you delay it? One year would suffice. I suppose even a half-year delay is alright too.”

They had just reunited. With one thing after another, Kenneth had not been able to spend time with them. Therefore, he felt slightly bitter about it when he suddenly heard they were leaving.

Anthony clarified, “Thalia said that a batch of new recruits is joining the organization this year, so she wanted us to join them since everyone is around the same age. We might miss out on the training if we wait another year.”

Kenneth gave a slight nod. However, he did not say anything as his lips remained pursed.

The air grew heavy. Denise's eyes darted from side to side. She walked over to Kenneth and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Daddy, Tony and Ben may be leaving, but there's still me. I'll stay by your side!”

Kenneth's heart melted at her words. He stared at her, as his eyes lit up. “You aren't leaving?”

Denise shook her head. “I'm not going. I'm not as talented as Tony and Ben. The most pertinent thing is that I can't bear to part with you guys. Also, I would like to try my hand at acting in my spare time. If I don't become famous, I'll just go home to inherit your assets. May I, Daddy?”

Kenneth grinned. “I'm very pleased with this arrangement.”

Denise grinned before giving him a mysterious look. “But, you don't have a patriarchal mindset, do you? You wouldn't leave the company for Tony and Ben only and leave me with nothing, right?”

“Patriarchal mindset?” When Kenneth heard that, he chuckled. “The Hamilton family never had a rule like that. We will always let the ladies choose first. Whatever the men in our family want, they have to earn it!”

Upon hearing that, Denise nodded. “Then, I'll be at ease. Since I've already achieved success in life, I can just unwind and enjoy myself.”

Natasha smacked the back of her head gently the second she finished her sentence. “Who says you can relax and take it easy? The Watson family's rule is you have to earn everything yourself!”

Denise rubbed the back of her head. “Nat, I'm only imagining what a life that would be.”

Everyone laughed at her words.

At least there was one out of the three children staying with Kenneth. It was the only source of solace he had.

At that moment, Kenneth glanced at Anthony and Benjamin. “Although I don't really like Darknetz, I have to admit they are indeed talented in certain fields. Since this is what you guys want to do, I will respect your decision just like Nat does.”
