Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 355

Benjamin gave a firm nod after listening to his father's words. He finally relaxed and grinned without a word.

Kenneth's lips curved as he continued driving the car.

Soon, the car came to a halt at the entrance of the manor.

Another car stopped beside their car.

After the two of them got off the car, Anthony and Denise ran toward them.

“Benjamin!”

“Ben!”

“Ben, where have you been?” Anthony asked worriedly.

“Yeah, where have you been? I was worried to death!” Denise chimed in.

Thalia followed behind them and watched the scene unfold.

Look at them, putting up an act. They can win acting awards for their acting!

Benjamin told them, “I lost you in the crowd, and my phone ran out of battery.”

“We couldn't find you anywhere and thought you were in anger. I'm glad you're all right.” Denise seemed worried.

She then turned to look at Kenneth. “Why are you with Daddy?”

“I accidentally called Daddy, so he came and gave me a ride home,” Benjamin explained.

A smile nudged Kenneth's lips when he heard the word “Daddy.”

Although Benjamin didn't address him directly, he was already satisfied with the progress.

As they were almost done with their act, Thalia went over to them to complete the act so that it would be more believable.

She gazed at Benjamin and said, “I'm glad you're fine. Otherwise, I don't know how I should explain to your parents.”

Benjamin grinned. “I'm smart, so I won't get in danger.”

“Yeah, you lost us even though you're smart.”

“That was an accident. My intelligence has nothing to do with the accident,” Benjamin protested.

Kenneth said nothing as he watched the kids chat along. His gaze was dark as if he had already seen through their act.

Thalia turned to him. “I'm sorry. I didn't know this would happen. Fortunately, Benjamin is safe. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to spill the news to you.”

Kenneth narrowed his gaze as he lifted the corners of his lips. “Is that so?"

Thalia was taken aback by his response, but she still forced herself to remain calm and gave him a nod. “Yeah.”

Kenneth stared at her in silence.

Right then, Denise spoke up. “Daddy, don't blame Thalia. It was all my fault. You should blame me.”

Hearing that, Kenneth lowered his gaze to look at her.

A moment later, he chuckled. “I'm not blaming anyone. I won't blame you, either.”

“Really?” Denise asked.

Kenneth gave her a reassuring nod. “Yep. I trust that you guys won't let anything happen to Benjamin.” Everyone else fell silent, for there was an underlying meaning in Kenneth's words.

They exchanged glances wordlessly.

Finally, Benjamin broke the silence. “By the way, I bought a cake for you, Denise.”

Denise's eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Yes!” Benjamin nodded. He then got the cake out of the car and offered it to her.

Denise forced out tears of joy. “Ben, I can't believe you were still thinking about me under such circumstances!

It was my fault. I shouldn't have thrown a tantrum and caused you to get lost.”

She was truly an actress, for everyone gaped in awe at her impressive acting skills.
