Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 397

Anthony's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

Did she notice something?

He asked her, “What's not right?”

“I keep forgetting to ask you. Why did Nat come all the way here by herself? Also, why did she have to be so stealthy about it?” asked Thalia.

“Uh, didn't I tell you?”

“If you already told me, will I still ask?” Thalia asked in return.

“Oh.”

Thalia looked at him. “What do you mean 'Oh?' Tell me!”

Anthony explained resignedly, “As a beautiful woman, can't you be more gentle like Nat?”

When she heard that, she questioned, “Are you sure that Nat is gentle?”

“I think... she is quite gentle!”

“Are you blinded by your love for her? Or did you forget what Nat did in the hospital?” Thalia queried.

Anthony couldn't agree with her. “She was forced by someone!”

“I was forced by you, too!” retorted Thalia.

Anthony was rendered speechless.

“What? Isn't that the truth?”

“How am I capable of doing so?”

“Don't underestimate yourself. You are indeed capable!”

Anthony looked at her and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only flash her a wide smile. “Whatever you say.”

Thalia snorted victoriously.

That was the first time she defeated Anthony in a war of words. It felt great.

She leaned back lazily and looked at the boy with arrogance. “Say it!”

“Say what?”

Her eyes narrowed into slits. “Anthony Watson, if you're acting dumb again, don't blame me for being rude!”

“How are you going to be rude?”

“So, you're forcing me to pull out my trump card?”

Anthony stared at her, looking forward to what her trump card was.

Thalia bobbed her head, rolled up her sleeves, and stood up.

She took a glance at Benjamin, who was sitting beside them, and said, “Get out of the way, Benjamin, so that you don't get splattered with blood!”

Benjamin immediately got up and gave way. “Make it fast, or I'll feel sorry for him as his brother.”

Anthony looked at Benjamin in disbelief. “How can you say that?”

“You brought this upon yourself, so you'll have to face the consequences!” After finishing his sentence, Benjamin immediately went and sat opposite them.

“Just you wait, Benjamin!” said Anthony.

Benjamin merely arched a brow and didn't care.

When Anthony was about to say something, Thalia interrupted him, “Stop looking at him! You should worry about yourself.”

Anthony turned and saw that Thalia was already sitting beside him.

“What are you going to do?” he asked.

She stared at him, and in the next second, she suddenly reached out her hands to tickle the boy.

He didn't see that coming at all and jumped up from his seat.

“H-How did you know this?” he asked with a bewildered expression.

Thalia felt very pleased of herself when she saw his reaction.

“What do you think of my trump card?”

At that moment, Anthony looked at his brother.
