Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 944

Natasha simply sat on the bed.

Watching the retreating figure of Benjamin heading toward the bathroom, one could tell what he was going to do there, even without him saying a word.

At that moment, Natasha couldn't help it anymore. Her eyes welled up with tears.

Kenneth stood by silently, watching the mother and son.

Once Benjamin had left for the bathroom, Natasha's tears began to fall. Only then did Kenneth walk over to her. Without saying a word, he reached out and pulled Natasha into his embrace.

Natasha leaned into his embrace, and even though she was sad, she felt a sense of relief, as though a great burden had been taken off her shoulders.

Otherwise, she couldn't express how weary her heart was from having to face their various lies to the children every day.

Natasha longed to see them yet feared their probing questions. As a result, she found excuses to avoid them every day. Now, she was free to see them whenever she wished without any reservations...

Leaning into Kenneth's embrace, a faint smile still lingered on Natasha's pale face. At that moment, she said softly, “Kenneth, you're right. Now, I really don't need to pretend anymore.”

Kenneth lowered his gaze to look at her. “Have you thought things through?”

“I'd long come to terms with letting them know about it, yet I still felt that delaying their knowledge by just one day meant giving them one more day of happiness.”

Kenneth looked at her palm-sized face, feeling an indescribable heartache. “Fool!” he said, pulling her tightly into his embrace.

Leaning on his shoulder, Natasha spoke after a long silence, “Kenneth.”

“Hmm?”

As she spoke, Natasha glanced in the direction of the bathroom and uttered, “The little one must be crying in there now...”

With that, she averted her gaze and looked up at Kenneth. “I might need you to comfort Benjamin later, I'm out of energy...”

After having her blood drawn and chatting with Benjamin for a while, she felt as if she had exhausted all her energy. Now, her mind was foggy, and all she wanted to do was to lie down and have a good sleep.

Listening to her exhausted tone sent a wave of bitterness washing over Kenneth. He lowered his gaze and nodded. “All right, you rest well. Leave everything else to me.”

“Okay!” Natasha replied with a smile.

Afterward, Kenneth laid her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

“Don't overthink it. Take some time to rest well.”

Natasha nodded, wanting to say something more, but her eyelids felt extremely heavy. In the end, she softly mumbled a response and immediately fell asleep.

Kenneth sat by the bed, looking at her with an indescribably complex gaze.

At that moment, an image flashed in his mind. It was the first time he had seen her after she returned to the country.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes, a flash of determination glinting in their depths.

“Rest well,” Kenneth said as he bent down to gently plant a kiss on her forehead.

Inside the bathroom, Benjamin stood in front of the mirror.

He didn't even know what was happening, but tears were uncontrollably streaming down his face.

His hands were trembling, and so were his legs.

He used to be fearless, never knowing the meaning of the word “fear.” But now, for the first time, he truly understood what it meant.

Yes, he became afraid.

He never imagined that one day, Natasha would leave them.

Even when he thought of her with white hair, aged and frail, he had never imagined a scenario where Natasha would leave them.

In his mind, it seemed as if Natasha would never leave.
