Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1086

They each returned to their rooms to freshen up and change their clothes in the suite they had booked.

When Anthony emerged, Thalia had already ordered their meal and was sitting in the living room, thoroughly enjoying her food.

Anthony glanced at her as he walked past. “How are you so fast?”

Thalia's gaze was filled with delicious food. “It's not that is fast, it's that you're slow,” she said, nonchalantly pouring herself a glass of red wine.

After taking a sip, she suddenly remembered something. Looking at Anthony, she gestured with her chin. “Here, I ordered some juice for you.”

Upon seeing that, Anthony picked up his juice and took a sip, then sat down and began to eat as well.

“How is it, the taste isn't too bad, right?” Thalia asked.

Anthony nodded nonchalantly. “Hmm, it's not bad.”

It was evident that Anthony was preoccupied, his mind not at all on his meal. Thalia glanced at him and said softly, “There's work to do, but we shouldn't neglect our meals as well.”

Regaining his composure, Anthony glanced at her. “I'm not picky on food.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia shook his head helplessly. “Alas, what a waste of resources!”

“Food is meant to fill the stomach!” Anthony enunciated each word.

“Food is meant to fill the stomach, but gourmet food is different, it's meant to satisfy the taste buds,” said Thalia.

“I'm not a food connoisseur.”

“But you must try the famous cuisine here,” Thalia said.

Anthony lowered his gaze, looking at the food they were eating now. “Is this all?”

Thalia nodded.

Anthony was just about to say something, but when he thought of Thalia who had traveled a long distance to accompany him and had now meticulously prepared food, he couldn't bear to dampen her spirits.

Thinking of this, he spoke up. “It looks good.”

Upon hearing this, Thalia began to cheer up. “Right? When it comes to food, I do have quite a bit of insight.”

Anthony glanced at her and smiled, choosing not to say anything.

“Come, try this.” Thalia gave him a piece of dessert.

Anthony wasn't particularly fond of sweets. Looking at the dessert she had shared with him, he murmured, “If Denise were here, she would probably love this.”

“Don't worry, when I return, I'll bring some for her,” Thalia said.

Anthony lifted his gaze toward her, the sincerity and sparkle in Thalia's eyes were truly captivating.

She had always been like this toward them, from the moment she met them until now.

Upon that thought, Anthony suddenly asked, “Thalia.”

“Hmm?”

“Is this how you treat everyone else?” Anthony asked.

“How so?” Thalia asked.

“Just like how you treat the three of us,” Anthony said.

Speaking of which, Thalia squinted her eyes, leisurely sizing him up. “What do you mean by asking this? Are you saying if I've been good to you, or not?”

“If it's not good, then what's the point of me asking you this?” Anthony asked indifferently.

“So, you're aware of my affection for you?” Thalia suddenly leaned in, a playful smile on her face as she looked at him.

“Indeed, if I didn't even know this, I would either be blind or a fool, and clearly, I am neither,” Anthony said.

“Well, I'm surprised to hear those words coming from you, Anthony. Quite unexpected indeed,” Thalia said.

Even though she was teasing like this, she felt quite pleased deep down.

Anthony looked at her. “So, you're not planning to answer the question I just asked?”

Speaking of which, Thalia looked up at him. “I'm not a fool, how can I possibly treat everyone like this?”

“Then you—”

“As for the three of you, firstly, it's because you are from Darknetz, and as you know, the Darknetz have always valued loyalty and friendship. Secondly...”

“What is it?”

“Secondly, I'm overflowing with maternal love,” Thalia enunciated each word.

Anthony was speechless.

Watching him fall silent, Thalia's lips curled into a smile. Although it seemed like she was joking, she was serious about it.
