Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 144

The next day, at the break of dawn, Thalia was sleeping soundly in the car when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of someone opening the door.

It was Anthony who had hopped into the car.

“You're back,” she mumbled, glancing at him.

“Yeah!” Anthony nodded, looking as energetic as ever.

“What's the time now?” Thalia asked groggily.

“It's not even five o'clock.”

Stunned, Thalia lifted her hand to look at her watch. A glint of disbelief flashed across her beautiful eyes. “You guys chatted for the whole night?”

Anthony nodded. He did not expect that he would be absorbed in a conversation with Kenneth for such a long time as well.

Thaila sat upright to look out of the window. After stretching herself and yawning, she could not refrain from muttering to herself, “I wonder how two guys can engage themselves in a conversation for the entire night! It's not like they're in a romantic relationship.”

With that, she threw Anthony a glance. “Where to next?”

Hmph! It seems that I've become his driver now!

Feeling completely at ease after having a long conversation with Kenneth, Anthony arched his brows and replied, “Go home to catch some sleep!”

In an instant, Thaila's eyes lit up. She nodded fervently and cheered, “Yeah! You'd better catch some sleep. Since you're still growing, it's important to have enough sleep!” The next moment, she moved swiftly to the driver's seat to start the car engine.

Anthony, on the other hand, adjusted himself to a comfortable posture with his arms folded over his chest. He planned to take a nap along the way home.

“Did you ask everything?” Thalia asked curiously.

Anthony opened his eyes at once. He had planned to have a chat with Kenneth to get a grasp on the situation, but the latter was undoubtedly quick-witted and observant. Thus, he had no choice but to dismiss the idea, fearing that he would give himself away.

“I didn't ask!” Anthony shook his head.

“Why? Didn't you take the risk of meeting him to get to the bottom of the matter?”

“There are still ways to find the truth. But I might reveal my identity if I took the risk of asking further!”

“Did he sense anything amiss?”

“I don't think so!” Anthony shook his head.

Thalia heaved a sigh of relief.

Notwithstanding, it never occurred to her that Anthony would drop her a bombshell the next second. “But he seems to be suspicious of you...”

Thalia was taken aback.

“So you told him everything about me?” “Of course not! I'm not that type of person!”

Thalia glanced at him. “Then what did you guys talk about?”

“He told me to stay away from you!”

“What the f*ck!” Thalia could not restrain herself from cursing furiously. Kenneth Hamilton, how could you drive a wedge between Anthony and me? Pfft! You must be thinking of having him in the palm of your hand! Anyway, it's just your wishful thinking to let him stay away from me!

She turned to stare at Anthony and questioned solemnly, “Will you pull yourself out of Darknetz because of your relationship with Kenneth Hamilton?”

“I... don't think so,” Anthony replied hesitantly.

Thalia widened her eyes as she glowered at him. “You don't think so?”

Seeing that she was about to blow a fuse, Anthony could not help feeling amused.

“Okay! Okay! I won't!” His lips curled into a smile as he tried to appease her.

Even so, Thalia still looked at him in suspicion.
