Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 379

Even though a gun was pointed at her, Thalia remained silent and fearless. Not only that, but a smug smile also even formed on her red lips.

Her gaze turned sharp as she asked, “Do you really think you can kill me, Kenneth?”

“What do you think?” Kenneth raised his gun. His black eyes appeared as though it was covered under a layer of ice.

“Fine, go ahead and try.” She shot him a provoking stare.

His finger slowly pulled back the trigger. Just as he was about to fire, a voice rang out behind him.

“Daddy.”

Both Kenneth and Thalia turned to the origin of the voice the moment they heard that. They frowned when they saw the boys.

“Why are you two here?” she questioned.

“Were you expecting us to watch you two fight?” Anthony turned his unfathomable gaze toward his father. “Besides, I bet Daddy's doing it to force us to come out. Am I right,

Daddy?”

Kenneth stared at his children silently with a complicated look in his dark eyes.

He was shocked, but the moment he saw them, he was also very calm, because he expected it to happen.

It was then Benjamin spoke up. “Daddy, this matter has nothing to do with Thalia. It was our idea. If you have any problems, you can confront us about it.”

Seeing how eager they were to protect Thalia, Kenneth narrowed his eyes and questioned, “Don't you know what kind of person Thalia is and what she does?”

“Daddy, since you already have your suspicions, you should know the people who showed up that night were us!” Anthony admitted.

Kenneth was stunned.

“We know what kind of person Thalia is because... we're the same as her,” Benjamin uttered word by word.

Kenneth's eyes narrowed even further. “You two joined Darknetz?”

“Yes!” Since the truth had been exposed, Benjamin found no reason to keep hiding and nodded.

Kenneth turned to face Thalia. “You did this?”

Thalia was a rebellious person. She wasn't the one who did it, but as long as she could piss him off, even if it posed a great risk to her, she had to admit it. “Yes!”

“How dare you do this to two children!” Rage filled his heart as he aimed his gun at her again.

Anthony quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Thalia. “Daddy, this has nothing to do with Thalia!”

Anger had blinded Kenneth. “Step aside, Anthony.”

“No!” The boy shook his head.

Kenneth stared at his son with furrowed eyebrows.

Benjamin also walked toward Thalia, stood in front of her, and stared at his father.

Thalia was touched by the boys' actions as she gazed at them. While she knew Kenneth wasn't going to do anything to them, there was an indescribable feeling inside her heart as she saw the boys protecting her like that. It made her feel her efforts so far hadn't gone to waste.

Upon raising her eyes, she saw Kenneth's darkened expression, which made her feel happy. She stepped forward and pushed the boys aside before speaking to their father. “All right, that's enough. Children shouldn't get involved in adult matters. I did this, Kenneth, and I'll take responsibility for it. I don't want to hurt your relationship with your boys, so I'm willing to resolve the matter your way.”

“Thalia!” Anthony turned back to face her.

“Shut up!” she exclaimed while still staring at Kenneth.

The gun was still in Kenneth's hand as he gazed at them. Like an elegant cheetah waiting to spring into action, the lean muscles of his arms were coiled tightly. It was clear he was not to be underestimated.

“What if I say I want to take your life?’ he asked.

“I'm afraid you can't do that!” Thalia retorted.

“Hah!” he sneered.
