Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 364

It was clear that Thalia was frustrated.

“So, you're angry because of my face? My daddy made you angry?” Anthony queried.

“What do you think?” Thalia scoffed, narrowing her pretty eyes. “I say, why can't you look more like your mommy? Why do you have to look like Kenneth Hamilton? It’s so annoying!”

Anthony was stumped. She's making personal attacks now. Looks like this is a serious matter.

“Come on. I can't decide what I look like. So, what’s up? What did my daddy say?” Anthony asked, sitting in front of her.

The sight of Anthony's face that looked exactly like Kenneth's made Thalia lose all ability to think rationally.

Unable to hold it in, she stretched out her hand and pinched his pink cheeks.

His cheeks were so soft that Thalia had fun pinching them. She found it so amusing that she did not stop. This is more fun than kneading a ball of dough.

Anthony's face was scrunched up. “Thalia!”

He squirmed out of her hands and cast her a look of disbelief. “Thalia, you—”

“What?” Thalia asked, raising her brows at him.

Anthony took a deep breath and said, “Don't you know men and women should keep a distance from one another?”

Thalia could not help but chuckle. “Oh, please. You're just a child. What do you know? If I put in just a little more effort, I might have a child as old as you now.”

Anthony was rendered speechless.

“Don't look at me like that. It's you and your daddy's fault for making me angry. One annoys me before I sleep, while the other annoys me right after I wake up. Since you resemble your daddy, then you'll need to bear the consequences on his behalf,” Thalia stated.

Anthony thought of a smart reply and glanced at her. “How about I address you as Ms. Jacoway in the future?”

Thalia froze, and she stared at him in astonishment. “What did you just

say?”

“Didn't you say it yourself? You can have a child as old as I am if you put in a little more effort. If that's the case, I'll be disrespecting you if I don't address you as Ms. Jacoway.”

Thalia narrowed her eyes and smirked. “Sure. You can give it a try if you aren't afraid of me sewing your lips together.”

Anthony muttered, “How violent.”

“I can’t treat both you and your daddy too kindly. I can only respond with violence,” Thalia remarked and carried on with her meal.

Right then, the housekeeper brought Anthony's breakfast over. As he dug into his food, he glanced at Thalia. “What on earth did my daddy tell you?”

“What else can he talk to me about? He suspects me, of course.”

“He suspects you?”

“He must be suspecting me for what happened yesterday. He asked me a million questions first thing in the morning. I bet he sees me with the label suspect’ on my head,” said Thalia, exasperated.

Anthony imagined the situation and put on a flattering smile. “It must've been hard on you.”

“It’s not. It's what I deserve for living under someone else's roof,” Thalia responded petulantly.

Anthony was at a loss for words.

After pondering for some time, he suggested, “How about I do something to compensate you?”

“What can you do?”

“I can help you track down Spencer Teal?” Anthony raised a brow and assessed Thalia's expression.

Thalia stiffened instantly, and a subtle look of pain flashed across her eyes.

She had thought she could make herself forget him temporarily by keeping herself busy. However, as soon as someone mentioned his name, everything she had done turned into dust just like that.

Lowering her gaze, Thalia resumed eating. “There's no need for that.”

“Really?”

“Since he's hiding from me on purpose, he won't meet me even if you find him.”

“Does that mean you've given up?”
