Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 736

Kenneth picked up the call in the corridor.

“Hello?”

“Kenneth, how are you? Are you feeling better?” Mike asked.

“Yes, I'm fine now,” Kenneth replied.

“I'm glad to hear that. I'll be at ease if you're fine.”

Hearing the underlying message in his words, Kenneth raised a brow and asked, “Is there something?”

“Uh, it's nothing big, really.”

“What is it?”

“It's... Alexia. She wants to meet you,” Mike replied.

It was only then Kenneth remembered Alexia. If not for her, Natasha would have been the one shot the night before.

With that thought in mind, Kenneth asked, “How is she?”

“The bullet didn't hit her vitals, so she's mostly fine. But she's quite stubborn and is refusing to take her medicine unless she sees you,” said Mike in a rather reluctant tone.

Kenneth mulled over it for a while. “I got it.”

“Kenneth, you'll...”

“I'll be there in a bit.”

“What about Natasha?”

Kenneth turned toward Natasha at that. She knew that he was on a call, so she halted in her tracks and waited for him.

His lips curled, and he said, “She'll be coming with me.”

Mike answered, “All right. I was overthinking. In that case, I'll be at ease.”

“Just relax,” was all Kenneth said before hanging up the call and keeping away his phone.

Natasha had her hands on the handrail of the stairs, and when she saw him walking toward her, she smiled.

“What's up?”

“Take a guess.”

Natasha hummed for a while before asking, “Who was on the other end of the line?”

“It was Mike.”

Natasha narrowed her eyes before cocking her head to the side. “Alexia, then?”

Kenneth's smile widened when he heard her answer.

“That's right.”

Kenneth reached out to hold her hand and led her downstairs. As they walked, he said, “It looks like it won't be easy to hide anything from you.”

“So what are you trying to hide from me?”

“Hm, maybe my secret savings?” Kenneth playfully arched a brow.

Natasha could not stop the laugh from escaping her.

Kenneth had an equally delighted smile on his face as he gazed at her. At that very moment, he was extremely glad that he had found Natasha.

He could not imagine his life otherwise.

The two of them headed to the dining room while holding hands.

“So, will you be going there later?” she asked.

“Yes. Just to take a look,” Kenneth replied.

Natasha nodded in understanding. “Yes, you should visit her.”

“Us, you mean,” Kenneth said.

Natasha stared at him in silence for a while before uttering, “Although she's young, the love she has for you is immense. Are you sure you want me there?”

“Isn't that exactly why you should be there?” Kenneth questioned.

“I'll be a third wheel if I'm there,” Natasha said.

Kenneth suddenly wrapped his arm around her thin waist. “Nat, are you confused? We are a couple and she's the third wheel.”

Natasha's gaze turned soft and merry as she looked at him.

At that very moment, she recalled a line from a book she read some time ago—Those who love you won't let you feel fearful of losing them. True love is straightforward and intense.
