Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1071

Listening to Natasha's words, Anthony nodded heavily. “I understand, Nat. I will slowly change.”

Natasha reached out, gently patting his arm.

After a long while, Anthony finally let her go. As he looked into Natasha's eyes, his gaze was tinged with a hint of embarrassment.

Natasha did not call him out for it. Instead, she allowed him to gradually get used to it.

“Nat, if you're okay with it, I'll go back and pack my things now,” Anthony said, looking at her.

Natasha nodded. “Okay.”

“I'll be back soon,” said Anthony.

“All right.” Natasha nodded.

Just as Anthony was about to leave, Natasha suddenly remembered something and called out to stop him, “Anthony.”

Upon hearing the sound, Anthony turned to look.

Natasha hesitated for a moment before saying, “Don't tell your Great-grandpa and Gramps too much. Just say you're going to visit a friend and will be back soon.”

Anthony didn't understand why Natasha would suddenly say that, but he knew her well. He was aware that if she said something like this, there must be a reason behind it.

He paused for a moment, looking at her. “Nat, is there a problem?”

Natasha pondered briefly and said, “You are now the eldest great-grandchild of the Hamilton family. What do you think?”

It was as though Natasha hadn't said anything but also said it all.

In an instant, Anthony understood. He nodded slightly. “I understand now.”

Natasha looked at him with a knowing smile. “I knew you would understand.”

“Then I'll be taking my leave, Nat,” said Anthony.

Natasha nodded.

Anthony cast his gaze toward the person lying on the bed beside him. After a moment of hesitation, he walked over.

He gently placed his hand on top of Kenneth's.

“Daddy,” Anthony began softly, gazing at Kenneth's face. After a long pause, he finally said, “I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and clear your name.”

Natasha just stood by, watching without uttering a word.

After a long while, Anthony finally withdrew his hand and turned to walk away.

Watching his retreating figure, Natasha's gaze was thoughtful.

She knew that Anthony was growing up rapidly. There were things she simply couldn't stop, nor did she want to. All she could do was to ensure that he lived a life without regrets, doing what he wished to do.

...

Meanwhile, watching Thalia pack up her things, Spencer's brow furrowed. “You're leaving just like that?”

Thalia put down her backpack and looked back at him. “Yep!”

“When will you return?”

“Anthony simply said we'll be back soon, but as for when exactly...” She shook her head.

Spencer furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction at those words.

At that moment, Thalia lifted her wrist to check the time. “I have three hours left before my scheduled flight, but I need to get to the airport early. Is there anything you want to tell me?”

Spencer stared at her. “Be careful.”

“That's all?” Thalia asked.

Spencer nodded, “Yes.”

Thalia instantly felt a slight unhappiness in her heart, but she put on a facade of indifference on her face and nodded. “All right, I understand. I'll be leaving then.” Having said that, she made a move to walk out.

Spencer stood off to the side, a teasing smile playing on his lips. He watched as she stormed past him, her anger palpable. Then, in a sudden move, he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her from behind.

Thalia was momentarily stunned.

Feeling the warmth on her back, Thalia's mind became muddled. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she asked, “What are you doing?”
