Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1096

Thalia's behavior and tone were somewhat unusual.

The two had been acting together for so long that Anthony was able to notice it, so he immediately lowered his voice.

Thalia walked to the door and peered outside through the peephole.

Anthony watched from the side. “What's wrong?” he asked softly.

Without uttering another word, Thalia pulled him toward the inside.

Although he wasn't sure what was going on, he could tell from her eyes that things weren't going well.

“What on earth happened? Who's outside?” Anthony asked.

Thalia remained silent, pulling him along as they headed inside.

Upon returning to the room, Thalia immediately pulled out a piece of clothing from her bag and tossed it to him. “Put this on.”

Watching as she tossed the clothes over, Anthony furrowed his brows.

“It's bulletproof!” Thalia said to him seriously.

Anthony glanced at her, rarely seeing her with such an expression. Without a word, he picked up the clothes to put them on and asked, “What about you?”

“Don't worry. Ordinary people can't hurt me,” Thalia said.

Hearing that, Anthony paused and turned his gaze toward her. “There's just one piece?”

“Yeah.”

“Then what about you if I wear it?” As he spoke, Anthony was about to take off his clothes.

Thalia reached out and stopped him. “Don't make a fuss. Just wear it if I tell you to!”

“What about you? You are our primary force. If you're injured, we're all done for!” Anthony said, looking at her.

“Do you think an ordinary person could hurt me?”

“This is no laughing matter.” Anthony lowered his voice.

“I'm not joking with you!” Thalia stepped forward, smoothly draping the clothes over him.

“You—”

“Shut up!” Thalia glared at him. “I promised Nat that I would protect you. If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to her?”

She walked toward the bed and retrieved a weapon from beneath the pillow.

“But Nat also hope you won't take any risks!” Anthony said from behind.

Thalia flashed a smile, turning back to look at him. “If I were to be in danger so easily, wouldn't that mean my title as Darknetz Ace is nothing more than an empty reputation?”

Anthony was aware of Thalia's capabilities, yet each peril encountered remained an unknown variable.

He was still somewhat worried. “Who exactly is outside?”

“No one!”

Anthony was confused.

Thalia swept his gaze toward him. “If there's no one around, doesn't that make it even more problematic?”

“But what if that person comes?” Anthony asked.

“I didn't tell that person the room number. I simply told him we would discuss it after he arrived at the hotel.”

Anthony instantly understood what was going on.

He looked outside.

Thalia swept her gaze around the room, then focused on a particular spot. Suddenly, she said, “You go hide there first and wait for me!”

“I—”

“If you insist on following me, you'll only hold me back!”

Anthony knew that this was not the time to be willful. He nodded and said, “All right, I'll wait for you. But no matter what, your safety comes first!”

“Don't worry. I cherish my life a lot more now!” Thalia said, her smiling expression fading as she looked at Anthony. “Don't come out until I return!”

Anthony nodded.
