Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1085

Dan shook his head and asked, “No, ever since Ms. Watson joined the company, things have been much quieter on Zachary's end. There's been a significant decrease in his petty antics!”

Upon hearing these words, a cold smirk crept onto the corners of Liam's mouth. He then swallowed a sleeping pill and said, “He won't stay quiet for long. Be vigilant and report any issues immediately.”

“Okay,” Dan responded.

“All right, if there's nothing else, go and rest!”

“You should really cut down on those pills,” Dan advised, his eyes filled with concern as he looked at him.

Liam looked at him. “How can I sleep if I don't eat them? And even if I have them, there's no guarantee I'll be able to sleep.”

Dan's heart ached for him as he watched.

“All right, I get it. Go get some rest,” said Liam.

Only then did Dan reluctantly nod, watching as Liam lay down before he finally turned off the light and left the room.

Meanwhile, on the other end.

After a day and a night, the airplane finally landed.

Anthony and Thalia stepped out of the airport, and by then, a car was already waiting for them at the entrance.

After getting in the car, Thalia glanced casually at Anthony. “Where are we going?”

Anthony gazed out the window. He should have felt pleasant since it was good weather that morning. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Anthony found himself feeling distinctly uncomfortable.

After a day and night on the airplane, all he wanted now was to take a bath and change his clothes.

With that thought, he averted his gaze. “Let's find a hotel first, I want to take a shower and change my clothes,” Anthony said.

Upon hearing that, Thalia unexpectedly raised an eyebrow. “I thought you would have eagerly rushed over.”

“It's been so long, a day or two more won't make a difference,” Anthony said.

“Okay.” Thalia nodded, then instructed the driver to drive them to a hotel.

“Not to mention, it's been a long time since I last visited. The weather here is quite pleasant at this time,” Thalia said.

“Have you been here before?” Anthony asked.

“Shouldn't you be asking me where I haven't been?” Thalia retorted.

After some thought, Anthony realized that it was indeed redundant to ask Thalia, a person who traveled the world completing tasks, such questions.

Nodding his head, Anthony asked, “How does it feel to be back here again?”

“Hmm... When I came here previously, I wasn't interested in anything. I was just here for the mission. But now, looking at this place, I find it much more beautiful!” Thalia said.

Upon hearing this, Anthony turned to look at her, his gaze indescribably complex.

“What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Thalia asked in response.

“Once you start to appreciate, it means something's on your mind. This is a big taboo in our line of work, to be more accurate, it's your big taboo!” Anthony said.

Speaking of which, Thalia laughed. “Why. Are you worried about me?”

“However, I've always disagreed. In our line of work, it's not necessary to be cold and ruthless. At least, I can't be. The reason I strive to become stronger is to protect them,” Anthony murmured.

Thalia nodded. “Hmm, I agree.”

“It's just that when you're on the front lines, with someone in your heart, you're bound to have worries. Thalia, you must be careful.” It was rare for Anthony to speak to her so solemnly.

Thalia chuckled lightly. “Don't worry, it's not been just a day or two since someone has occupied my heart.”

“But you only found out recently that you also occupy a special place in that person's heart. It's not the same anymore,” Anthony said.

Thalia looked at Anthony, his gaze filled with a hint of surprise.

Sometimes, when speaking to a child about these matters, there was always a fear of misleading them. However, when she was conversing with Anthony, she didn't feel like she was talking to a child at all. Instead, it felt as if she was having a conversation with an adult.

After a long while, Thalia nodded. “You're right,” she said. “So, whatever the outcome, I will accept it.”
