Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 72

The meal was pretty okay, aside from Natasha eating her food absentmindedly.

After the meal, Zachary accompanied Denise for some time while Terence watched them happily at the side.

Anthony and Benjamin could see what was going on, but not Natasha, because she was planning something.

Sometimes Anthony was glad that his mother wasn't great at romantic stuff. Otherwise, she would be greatly troubled by it.

After about nine in the night, Zachary was going to leave.

“It's getting late, Mr. Watson, so I'll be taking my leave now. I'll come and visit you again another day,” Zachary promised.

Terence stood and responded, “All right. You can come and visit us whenever you want, Zach.”

Okay.”

Terence furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Natasha was still deep in her thoughts. “Nat, you should send Zach back.”

Natasha snapped back and nodded. “Okay.”

Zachary quickly rejected, “There's no need. Nat's ankle is still swollen. I can head down myself.”

Terence waved. “It's fine. If she can still go to work like this, she can send you out.”

Natasha was speechless as she stared at her grandfather. What is Grandpa thinking?

Zachary wasn't sure what to say.

“I also want to send Mr. Zach out,” Denise uttered as she stepped forward. Terence grabbed her collar and stopped her. “It's time for you to sleep.”

“Gramps.” She pouted.

“Be good, Denise.”

It was pretty obvious that Terence was trying to get Natasha and Zachary together.

Zachary could see that, though he simply smiled but didn't reject the offer again. At least I know Terence is on my side. I'm getting closer to victory.

“I'll take my leave now then, Mr. Watson.”

“All right, take care.” Terence bade goodbye at the elevator entrance.

Inside the elevator, Natasha and Zachary stood next to each other.

“Did what I say upset you?” Zachary asked.

Natasha gave him a side glance. “What?”

“The suggestion for marriage.”

She nodded and answered, “Ah, that. Not at all. I'm just thinking about the possibilities.”

“You're considering it?” He was surprised.

Natasha smiled. It was then the elevator door was open. She headed out first before Zachary followed behind.

She looked at him while standing in front of the car. “I know you're only thinking about what's best for me. So, firstly, I want to thank you for keeping the secret from

Kenneth. Secondly, I'm grateful for your suggestion.

“So you understand what I'm getting at?” he asked.

She nodded. “Of course. Don't worry, I'll think about it.”

Zachary wasn't convinced that she understood.

However, he didn't want to come off as being too eager, so he said, “All right, then. If you need any help, just let me know.”

Natasha nodded. “Okay, thank you.”

He gazed at her silently for a while before speaking again. “I'll be leaving now.”

“Take care of yourself.”

Zachary nodded and got into his car.

Before he left, he looked at Natasha one last time. “What I really meant is that if you need any help, you may come to me first for assistance.”

Right as Natasha was slightly taken aback by that, he left.

After the car disappeared from her sight, a smile appeared on her face. She turned around and prepared to leave. Just as she did, she thought she saw someone staring at her in a distance.

When she took a good look in that direction, there was nothing there.

She stared for a long while to make sure no one was actually there before she left.

Back at the house, Denise was arguing with Terence.
