Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 933

Natasha smiled as Thalia spoke.

“Your promise is enough.” She nodded in agreement.

Despite that, Thalia was so moved that she felt a whirlwind of emotions within.

In the next second, she lunged forward and hugged Natasha tightly.

The gesture surprised Natasha.

Thalia held her. “I don't know what to say, Nat. I know that words won't help much, but rest assured, I will do everything I can to make you feel better.”

Natasha stiffened slightly before gradually relaxing.

It does not feel that uncomfortable after all.

She smiled. “Mmm. Seeing all of you work so hard for my sake gives me a sense of pride I can't put into words.”

Aware that Natasha was teasing her on purpose, Thalia held on even tighter. “Even at a time like this, you can still make jokes.”

Natasha chuckled softly. “Haven't you hugged me enough yesterday?” she said with some effort. “I will be the one feeling embarrassed if you don't stop soon.”

Thalia was slightly taken aback before gradually letting go of her friend. “What do you mean?”

Seeing her bewildered expression, Natasha playfully raised an eyebrow. “Don't remember anything?”

“Remember what?” Thalia asked, a sense of foreboding creeping in as she observed Natasha's expression.

“Just as I thought. You have zero recollection,” Natasha said.

“What do you mean? What am I supposed to remember?” asked Thalia.

“Do you remember getting drunk at the bar yesterday and beating someone up to a pulp?”

Thalia did have a hazy recollection of that incident. Somebody tried to strike up a conversation with her when she was in a bad mood the night before, which led to a conflict, and she ended up giving them a beating.

Thalia nodded. “I remember.”

“Do you remember what the person you beat up looked like?” Natasha asked.

“Well, I'm not too sure about that.” Thalia shook her head. “I just clobbered him without paying much attention to the details.”

Natasha raised an eyebrow. “So, at which point did your memory failed you?”

At the prompt, Thalia tried her best to recall the events of the night before, but all she drew was a blank.

“Do you know how you got back?”

Thalia shook her head.

“Very good,” Natasha said.

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Thalia asked. Natasha's teasing smile was giving her an increasingly uneasy feeling.

“You drank so much yesterday and ended up hitting someone. Then, you continued drinking. The owner of the bar called the police, and you were taken to the hospital. After they examined you and found nothing wrong, you were taken to the precinct. Finally, Spencer and Anthony had to come and get you.”

Thalia's eyes widened when she heard the tale. “The precinct?”

Natasha nodded. “Mm hmm.”

Thalia furrowed her brows. “Well...”

Noticing her friend getting nervous, Natasha said, “Don't worry. It was fortunate they found out in time. In the end, they sought Dave, paid him off, and he didn't pursue the matter. That was how they got you out.”

Thalia heaved a sigh of relief. “I think I can't drink casually anymore.”

“I'm glad you're aware of it.” Natasha nodded approvingly before adding, “With your antics yesterday, you now owe Dave another favor.”

At that mention, Thalia said, “I've lost track of the favors I owe. If that's the case, so be it.”

That's how Thalia always is.

Natasha raised an eyebrow, remaining silent.

“Is there anything else?” Thalia asked Natasha cautiously. She remained quite concerned.
