Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 320

Natasha gradually calmed down as she thought things through. I would be lying if I said I'm not proud. I thought my father's genes would end in my generation, but it turns out it only got even better in Anthony's generation! I'm happy about it, but I'm also a little worried. In the age of the internet, a hacker is an existence that goes hand-in-hand with danger. He's not just any hacker; he's a really skillful one. I'm worried he won't lead a safe life in the future.

When her train of thought ended there, she asked, “Have you thought about what you want to do in the future, Anthony?”

Sensing her attitude was relaxing, Anthony pulled a nearby chair closer. “How about you sit first before we chat further?”

She glanced at him and nodded.

Both of them sat close to each other as he spoke. “Truth be told, I thought about it, but I'm still not sure what I will do in the future. However, I know what I like doing right now, and I love everything related to computers. So, I'm willing to work hard and pay the price for it.”

The look in Natasha's eyes turned gloomy when she heard that. “You know this profession is a dangerous one, right?”

He nodded. “I know, and I know many people are looking for you, Nat. They're willing to pay a high price to buy any information about you. I'm aware some people who are willing to pay that price want to recruit you while others want to eliminate you. I know all that, and if I continue down this path, I'll face the same dangers as you.”

Her eyes narrowed. “Aren't you afraid?” “I am, but if I have to choose between my fear and passion, I rather hold on to my passion!” Determination could be heard in the boy’s voice.

Natasha was aware Anthony was someone who knew what he was doing. If he was willing to say such a thing, it must mean he really loved what he was doing.

It was probably why he decided to hide his activities from her.

She felt it would be too cruel to tell him to stop if he had already fallen so deeply in love with that profession.

It was then he abruptly asked, “Was Granddad a skilled hacker too, Nat?” The mention of her father by her son surprised her. It stunned her for a while. Her thin eyelashes trembled as she gazed at him.

“Granddad was awesome, so you inherited his genes, while I inherited your genes, Nat!” he uttered calmly.

It had been many years since Natasha talked about her father with someone else calmly. At that moment, she felt strangely calm.

With a nod, she agreed, “Yes, he was someone awesome.”

Anthony's voice suddenly became deeper as he assured, “I know you've been looking for the truth behind Granddad's death, Nat. I don't know if he died because he was a hacker, but don't worry, the same tragedy won't happen twice, Nat!”

She was suddenly at a loss for words.

Worries about Anthony's safety were present in her mind, but she wasn't going to restrict him because of them.

If it was possible, she wanted to support him and let him indulge in his passion as much as he wanted.

The tragedy of her parents was something that only she needed to bear. She simply hoped that her children could be whoever they wanted to be and do whatever made them happy. That alone would be enough for her.

As her train of thought ended there, Natasha nodded. “Yeah, I believe the same tragedy won’t happen again!”

Anthony's eyebrow was raised when he heard that. “So you're agreeing to let me continue hacking?”

“Are you going to stop if I say no?”

His expression darkened before he nodded. “If it makes you unhappy, I won't do it again...”

Her serious expression vanished, and she suddenly smiled. “What, are you going to show me unconditional filial piety? You'll do whatever I say?”

“Nothing else is more important than your happiness!” he replied seriously.

His response touched her.

She always knew how much he loved her.

He was her child, but only one of three. While she loved him dearly, her love was split between him and his siblings.
