Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 77

It was almost ten at night when Natasha was about to leave Hamilton Corporation.

Ross stretched himself out and lamented, “The old man finally runs out of questions to ask, and it's all thanks to you, Ms.

Watson.”

Natasha took out her phone and realized that her battery had gone flat.

“Let's go out for supper. It'll be my treat.

What do you say?” Xavier asked.

“Sure. Let's go!”

Thomas agreed as well.

“I'm not going,” Natasha said. “I have to go back now to take care of the kids.”

“Your siblings?” Ross asked.

“My children,” Natasha replied.

They did not think much about her reply and said, “They're all grown up, right? So they should be good on their own.”

“And that's where you're wrong. They're always going to be kids, no matter how old they are,” Thomas replied. Then, he turned to Natasha and said, “Ms. Watson, you may head home first. We can have a meal together any time.”

Natasha nodded. “I'll get going then.”

The three of them nodded, and Natasha headed for the underground parking right away.

“Why don't the three of us go instead?”

“Sure. Let's go!”

The three men headed outside to hail a taxi.

When Thalia reached the parking lot, she realized that the Phantom was already nowhere to be seen. She could not seem to locate the vehicle no matter where she looked.

She texted Anthony: The car is gone.

Anthony felt his gut wrench.

Meanwhile, Kenneth arrived at Thea's

place.

Before entering her place, he recalled the incident whereby Thea got drunk and hesitated for a moment. Nevertheless, he pressed the doorbell in the end.

Soon, the door sprung open.

Thea appeared at the door. She was in a racy black dress, looking perfectly like Kenneth's type.

“You're here? Come on in.”

Kenneth glanced at her before heading inside. “Why did you ask me to meet you at your place instead?”

“I had a stomachache when I wanted to head out just now. So I thought it was better to just meet at home. I don't think it's going to make much of a difference at my place anyway,” Thea said.

Kenneth strode inside.

The whole house was illuminated with ambient lighting. It was not very bright.

Near the floor-to-ceiling window, candles were lit on the dining table decorated with wine and rose petals.

“Why are you in such a good mood?” Kenneth asked nonchalantly.

Thea took out steak from the kitchen and served it on the table. “Because it's an important occasion, of course.”

Then, she picked up the wine that she had decanted earlier and asked, “You want some?

“I'm driving.”

“So just have a sip then.” Thea ended up pouring a glass for Kenneth in the end.

Kenneth leaned against the chair and observed her every move. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

After she was done, Thea took a seat opposite Kenneth. The lighting hit just right where she intended as it perfectly complemented her intricately made-up face.
