Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 716

Boss looked somewhat flustered as he had wanted to taunt Kenneth further with Natasha's sudden appearance.

He enjoyed seeing Kenneth rage while being unable to do anything about the situation. It made his revenge feel all the sweeter. However, Natasha was simply too wild and unpredictable for his plan to work.

As Boss shifted his gaze toward Kenneth and noticed the girl standing next to him, he recalled something and said with a mocking grin, “You may be loyal to him, but are you sure he's the same for you? Do you see the young girl next to him? She has been staring dreamily at him. If I'm not mistaken, that young girl likes him too. Who knows? She might just take your place very soon!”

To his surprise, Natasha simply let out a disdainful chuckle after hearing that.

“What are you laughing at?” Boss couldn't help but stare at her exquisite facial features even though he knew she was mocking him.

“I used to think that only women would try to sow discord among others. Who would've thought it'd come so naturally for you?” Natasha replied.

Realizing that she was trying to spite him, Boss suppressed his anger and stared in Kenneth's direction. “What, you don't agree with me?”

Natasha had a cold and distant look in her eyes as she stared at him. “Kenneth once told me that you like me. Do you think you're able to take his place, though?”

Boss froze as he was not expecting her to be this direct with her answer.

His face clouded over as he said, “If I recall correctly, you have asked me that question before. Do you not remember my answer?”

“Oh, I remember it very well. I was just quoting an example, so you don't have to take it too seriously,” Natasha replied nonchalantly.

It was at that moment that Boss knew there was nothing he could do to threaten her at all.

Kenneth, who was a little angry at first, broke into a smile when he saw what was going on.

Mike, on the other hand, was still utterly confused.

Not only is Kenneth not angry, but he's even smiling? Did he get so mad that he lost his mind?

“Kenneth, what are you—”

“Mike, have you managed to reach Dave yet?” Kenneth asked.

Mike shook his head. “No, but I've been trying all this while. Something must be jamming the signal. I can't get through to him at all.”

Kenneth furrowed his brows. “We have to try and get the message across. They need to get out of there.”

“I've already sent someone over to deliver the message. Let's hope he gets there in time,” Mike replied in a whisper.

Kenneth then shifted his gaze toward Natasha as he said, “Also, get ready to extract her.”

Mike was about to say something further but nodded profusely when he heard that. “Of course. All the preparations are complete.”

Alexia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.

“When we make our move, I want you to focus solely on protecting her. You don't have to worry about me. Do not let her get hurt at all. Is that understood?”

As though he had just been assigned an impossible mission, Mike nodded solemnly. “Understood.”

Kenneth then continued observing Natasha and Boss as he waited for the perfect opportunity to strike.

There was a hint of disappointment in Alexia's eyes when she shifted her gaze away from Kenneth. However, that disappointment was soon replaced by a look of determination as she suddenly recalled something.

Boss let out a sinister chuckle and said menacingly, “Wow... What a touching display of love! Unfortunately, I don't believe in love. You'd be surprised at the things people do in times of crisis.”

Unsure of what he meant by that, Natasha kept her eyes on him as she frowned in confusion.

The next thing they knew, Boss glanced at Kenneth as he raised the phone in his hand and pushed the button.

Both Kenneth and Mike stared wide-eyed at him in disbelief.
