Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 338

“All right. Jokes aside, there's something important I need to tell you...” Anthony spoke with a hushed voice while looking at Thalia.

Thalia turned around and said smugly, "I don't want to hear it.”

Anthony continued, “But it's something really important.”

Thalia looked at her from the corner of her eyes. “I'm not in a good mood to hear anything!”

Anthony went deep in thought for a moment before smiling at her.

“Thalia, you’re the most magnanimous among all the pretty women I’ve seen. You're also someone who looks at the big picture, and so I believe you wouldn't hold a grudge against me, right?”

Thalia arched her brows and looked up at him with a scowl. “Between me and Nat, who's the prettier? Who's more magnanimous? Who is more capable of looking at the bigger picture?”

Anthony was rendered speechless. “Is this comparison necessary?”

Thalia answered, “Of course!”

“You want to hear the truth?”

Words caught in Thalia's throat after she heard that question.

Based on Anthony's response, she knew what his answer would be. I guess he wouldn't go against his will to say nice things to coax me. After all, Nat is everything to him.

Thalia narrowed her eyes and responded with a faint grin. “Oh, forget it. You don't have to say anything anymore.”

“You're not mad at me anymore, right?” Anthony asked.

Thalia took in a deep breath. “Who says so?”

“You're the second prettiest woman I've ever seen! I swear!”

“Really?” Thalia asked.

Anthony nodded repeatedly. “Yes!”

“You mean what you said?”

“Of course! That's exactly what I have in my mind! You rank the second!”

Thalia was pleased to hear that. “Fine.

So what do you want to tell me?”

Anthony glanced at the surroundings and whispered, “You stay here for the night. I'll tell you in the evening when I have a chance.”

Thalia knew something was amiss upon seeing that suspicious look on his face. She nodded and said, “All right.”

Meanwhile, all the guests at the banquet had a good time, and many of them had a few drinks.

When Liam was about to take another sip of wine, Kenneth stopped him.

“You've drunk a lot tonight, Grandpa.”

Liam instantly knitted his brows upon hearing that. “What do you mean by

I've drunk a lot? I've only had two glasses of wine!”

When Liam insisted on taking another sip, Kenneth covered the wineglass with his palm. “You've reached your limit, Grandpa. In fact, the doctor said you shouldn't drink at all.”

“Hey-”

Natasha came over to defuse the tension. “You must take care of your health, Old Mr. Hamilton.”

Upon hearing that, Liam responded, “All right. I'll listen to you, Nat!” Natasha turned to Terence and said, “You should not drink too much as well, Grandpa.”

“My body is fine. I'm all right.”

Natasha glared at him without uttering a word.

Terence had no choice but to give in. “All right! All right! I won't drink much!”

He then put down his wineglass.

After a short pause, Terence looked at Liam. “It's time to take your medicine, isn’t it?”

“Oh?” Liam looked over and met his eyes. He then nodded. “Oh, yes. I should take my medicine now!”

“Let's go! I'll come with you!”

“Wow. I'm surprised you remembered. Well then, I'll give you a chance to keep me company!” Liam then stood up and was ready to leave. Seeing that, Terence quickly followed right behind.

Everyone could tell they were putting up an act.

Meanwhile, Kenneth waved at Dan, gesturing for Dan to come over.

Kenneth muttered a few words in Dan’s ear. Dan then nodded and replied, “Got it. I'll take care of it.” He then caught up with Liam and Terence.

Benjamin could not help but remark, “We don't always get to see Gramps and Great-grandpa getting along well, do we? What a rare sight.”

“But don't you think their acting seems awkward?” Denise said.

Anthony responded, “It doesn't matter. What matters the most is we get to leave now!”

Benjamin, Denise, and Anthony turned their attention to Natasha and Kenneth as if they were waiting for their command.

Kenneth looked at them and grinned. “All right. It's getting late. Let's go home and take a rest!”

Upon hearing that, everyone started leaving.
