Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 374

Inside the manor, after returning to the room, instead of going to bed, Anthony went straight to his laptop, sat on a chair, and turned it on.

He had never been so worried and serious before.

After staring at the screen for a few minutes, he stopped what he was doing.

His dark eyes flickered with complicated emotions.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door.

Anthony put his guard up and turned off the screen. He then tilted his head to look in the direction of the door. “Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Benjamin's voice sounded behind the door.

Anthony heaved a sigh of relief and went to open the door.

“Still not asleep?” Anthony asked while looking at him.

“Do you think I can sleep in peace?” Benjamin retorted. He glanced at the laptop and knew what Anthony was doing.

“Found anything?” Benjamin asked.

Anthony looked away and kept mum. He walked back to the room after opening the door.

Benjamin went in while looking at his brother's back and shut the door.

He looked at the boy who just sat down in front of the laptop and asked, “What's wrong?”

Anthony knew he could not hide anything from Benjamin. Besides, he did not want to waste his energy on making up a story. He stared at the screen and said helplessly, “I've just searched the internet and could only verify that Nat's address is not in the country.”

Benjamin went over and took a glance at the location. He knitted his brows and said, “It seems that Nat must have thought it through before leaving!”

“She didn't have to do this. We all knew where she would go anyway!” Anthony raised his voice.

“Yes, you're right, but do we know the exact location?” Benjamin asked. “Nat must have known that we would eventually find out she's not on a business trip. She also knew you would investigate her whereabouts. She didn’t want us to look for her!” Anthony's eyes turned red. “How could she do this to us? She knows we'll worry about her!”

“Everything about Granddad has gnawed away at Nat's mind, and up to this day, she still can't make peace with it. That's why she could never live a happy life. Don't you think we're in that same position as her? She wanted to know the truth about her parents' deaths because she cared about them. Likewise, we're worried because we care about her!” Benjamin said with a wry smile. “I'm afraid we're not in any position to ask Nat to let bygones be bygones. I don't think we could do that if we were in her shoes. Don't you think?”

They might not understand a parent's love for the children, but they could understand the sacrifices children were willing to make for their parents. That was why Benjamin could relate to Natasha.

Of course, Anthony understood the logic, but at this point, he could not put himself in anyone's shoes. He just did not want anything bad to happen to Natasha.

“Yes. We're in no position to talk Nat out of the things she wishes to accomplish, but I want to be there for her. I want to look for Nat,” Anthony said abruptly.

“How? Do you have the address?”

“If need be, I'll visit every place in Zaewora. If worse comes to worst, I'll wait for Nat at Vermillion Base. I'll station there until she comes out from the base!” Anthony said.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes. “I guess that's the last resort we can come up with. We just have to make do with it.”

Anthony was taken aback by his reaction. He looked up and asked, “Are you not going to stop me?”

“Do you think I can stop you?” Benjamin asked. “Besides, I'm just as worried as you. What you had in mind was what I was thinking anyway.” “Benjamin!” Anthony turned to him.

“Since I'm not stopping you, I hope you won't talk me out of it!” Benjamin said with a solemn expression. “She's not your Nat. She's our Nat—the closest person in our lives. So you should know we feel the same way as you do.”

“But—”
