Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 258

Noticing that Anthony was walking toward him, Spencer retracted his gaze and looked at the boy instead.

He saw neither fear nor timidity in the boy's eyes as the latter drew closer.

On the contrary, Anthony was difficult to read, which was something kids his age should not have.

“So, you're Mommy's friend?” the boy asked.

Probably because Spencer had seen the boy before, he was not much surprised by the kid's blatant but confident question.

In fact, it was exactly what he expected from Kenneth and Natasha's child.

“Yes, I am,” Spencer answered.

The boy pondered in silence for a while before he continued, “I don't know what your relationship with Thalia is, and neither do I know what happened between you guys, but seeing as you're Mommy's friend, I'll advise you not to go overboard. I'll hold you accountable if anything happens to Thalia,” Anthony warned sternly with every word enunciated clearly.

Spencer narrowed his eyes at the boy. “Are you close to her?”

“Yes,” Anthony answered without hesitation.

Anthony considered Thalia his friend ever since she helped him at the hospital, so if anything happened to her, Anthony would readily jump in and help.

Upon seeing the boy's imposing attitude despite his young age, Spencer admired him even more.

He's very protective, just like Natasha.

“All right. Noted,” Spencer finally replied after some time.

Anthony took another glance at him before turning away. He figured he should not say too much since that man was his mother's friend.

“Hold on,” Spencer called out suddenly when Anthony was about to leave.

Turning around, Anthony looked at him. “Anything else?”

Taking out a vial of medication, Spencer said, “Here. It's for her.”

Looking at the item, Anthony had no intention of receiving it.

“I'm sure she won't go to the hospital. This medication helps with the wound,” Spencer added.

Anthony could tell that Spencer and Thalia's relationship was out of the ordinary. He could even see the worry in the man's eyes.

Although it sounded as if Anthony was giving him a severe warning earlier, it was also a test to Spencer.

Hesitating for a while, Anthony finally took the vial from him.

“Don't tell her it's from me,” Spencer reminded.

“Why?”

“She won't use it if she knows it's from me. She might even break the vial!” Spencer explained.

“Do you know her that well?”

Anthony inquired.

Smiling a bit, Spencer looked at the boy and replied, “Maybe. Give it to her, then. Thanks.” With that said, Anthony stared at the staircase for a brief moment and left.

Watching the man leave, Anthony frowned.

Although he was still a kid, he could tell that love was involved in this situation.

But Thalia and... him?

A frown stitched on his brows as he took another look at the medication. Feeling helpless, Anthony turned around and went back.

Thalia was drinking when he got back.

As for Benjamin, not only did he not dissuade the woman from drinking, but he also helped her pop the bottles.

Anthony's frown deepened at the sight.

“What are you doing, Benjamin?” he asked, walking in.

“You're back! Thalia's not feeling well, and she wanted a drink, so here I am!” Benjamin replied with a smile.

“You-”

“I asked him to do it. It's not his fault,” Thalia interrupted.
