Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 761

“We have a situation here!” said Thalia.

“What is it?” Natasha asked.

“He ran out alone and wouldn't take our calls. I know a situation when I see one.” Thalia smacked the table. “Call him again.”

“I don't think that's necessary, though.”

“I beg to differ!”

I really want to convince Thalia that it's not necessary. Natasha was stumped.

“Fine, if you won't do it, then I will.” Thalia snatched the phone and made the call. It was too late for Natasha to stop her.

Natasha hoped no one would pick it up, but someone did. Eventually.

“Hey, Nat,” said Kenneth softly.

Just when Thalia was about to go into a tirade, Natasha quickly covered her friend's mouth and took her phone back without missing a beat.

Thalia wanted to complain, but Natasha placed a finger to her lips.

Fine, Nat. You go ahead, then.

Natasha returned to her seat and put her phone to her ear. “Kenneth.”

“What's wrong? Did something happen?” The little tussle did not escape Kenneth.

Natasha looked at Thalia and lowered her voice, “No. My phone fell just now.”

“I see,” said Kenneth. “What's the matter?” he asked again.

Natasha was trying to come up with a suitable response, but Thalia was already staring intently at her. If Natasha wouldn't say anything, she would.

Retracting her gaze, Natasha asked, “Is Alexia better?”

“Almost.”

“She's gone back to DX as well?”

“No. Mike told me,” answered Kenneth truthfully.

Natasha nodded. “I see. I just wanted to see how Alexia's doing. She did get hurt saving us.”

“I know. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.”

“Okay, there's that, then.”

Natasha was going to hang up, but Thalia frowned. She wanted to stop her friend, but Kenneth blurted, “Nat, are you... jealous?”

Thalia kept giving her looks.

I don't like this. Natasha responded, “No. I just wanted to remind you that you shouldn't give her the cold shoulder. She did save us after all.”

“That's not what you really think, or that's what I hope, at least. But I could tell that you're genuine,” said Kenneth.

“Good that you know.” A smile curled Natasha's lips.

“Of course. I'll be back tonight,” Kenneth said again.

Okay. I get the implication. She looked at Thalia and saw a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Something just came up. Talk to you later.” Natasha hung up right away.

Thalia was wiggling her eyebrows as she sized Natasha up.

Feeling her scalp tingling, Natasha said, “You heard everything!”
