Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 404

Benjamin stared at him in confusion. Through the rearview mirror, Thalia shot him a baffled look.

“What makes you say that?” Benjamin inquired.

“There must be a reason the men from Vermillion Base left without doing anything after suffering a huge loss. Nat also left back then.”

“Are you saying they took Nat with them?” Benjamin asked. “Didn't Nat contact you?”

“There are many ways to take her with them. I don't think they kidnapped her. Besides, they couldn't do that in Daddy's territory. However, it's different if they tricked her,” Anthony revealed darkly.

Benjamin felt his words made sense.

Upon hearing that, Thalia uttered, “Then why did they take Nat with them?”

Taken aback, Anthony furrowed his brows. She's right. Why did they take Nat with them? Was Nat's identity exposed? No, I don't think so. Though it might be a possibility, it's highly unlikely.

Anthony was not sure, but he could not stop a sense of urgency from rising in his heart.

After mulling over the matter, Benjamin slowly said, “Did they do that after discovering Nat was investigating Granddad's death? Or, if it isn't that complicated, do they want revenge?”

“Revenge?” Thalia scrunched up her brows.

Turning to her, Benjamin explained, “We stole the goods from them on Daddy's territory, but Vermillion Base thought it was Daddy who took their goods. Thus, they might be doing this to take revenge against Daddy.”

“That makes sense, but isn't this too complicated? They could've taken revenge by killing Nat,” Thalia responded.

“Perhaps they didn't have a chance to do so.”

Thalia did not share their sentiments. “Do you think those outlaws will fail to find a chance to kill her?”

Anthony and Benjamin said nothing.

Glenport City was Kenneth's territory, so it was hard to find an opportunity to take action. However, they could still pull it off if they tried hard enough.

“Unless they are after something else...” Thalia mumbled under her breath as she thought hard about it.

Anthony and Benjamin shared a guilty look.

Was it because of that?

“Let's stop pondering over the matter and see if we can get in touch with Nat. We should inform her about the matter,” Benjamin remarked.

With a nod, Anthony whipped out his phone to give Natasha a call. Alas, his call did not go through.

“Send her a text. She'll definitely receive it!” Benjamin suggested.

Anthony nodded.

Since Natasha knew they were here, she would not relax until they left.

Hence, despite refusing to answer her phone, she would definitely read their text.

With that thought in mind, Anthony typed out a text that explained their findings and sent it to Natasha.

After the text was successfully sent, he stared at the screen intently as though he was waiting for her reply. However, the reply never came.

A deep line appears in the middle of Anthony's brow.

“No reply yet?” Benjamin questioned.
