Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 421

“Because he doesn't have the necessary requirements to compete with you!” Anthony interrupted before Benjamin could finish speaking.

At that, Benjamin couldn't help scoffing inwardly.

How fearful was he that I'd expose him? Oh well, I'll let him resolve it himself since it's his business!

He lowered his eyes, planning to listen to the conversation as he ate.

“What do you mean by that?” Kenneth pressed, his eyes fixated on Anthony.

“Well...” Anthony racked his brain for an apt description.

“Is he not a man?” Kenneth interjected.

At once, Benjamin burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, Anthony was dumbstruck.

He shot a glare at Benjamin, who pretended as though he didn't see it.

Kenneth's eyes remained pinned on them. “Why, is there a problem?”

Jolting back to reality, Anthony shook his head at the man. “No...” After musing for a moment, he clarified, “It has nothing to do with gender.”

“What else is there other than gender?” Kenneth riposted.

Hearing that, Benjamin couldn't resist chiming in at the side, “Actually, Daddy, gender isn't a problem anymore now.”

Looking at him, Kenneth mulled it over seriously for a while before nodding solemnly. “You're right. But Nat's sexual orientation should be heterosexual. I can still tell that much.”

Both Anthony and Benjamin went speechless.

What else can we say?

“So, what exactly are the requirements he lack?” Kenneth insisted, staring at them intently.

Verily, Anthony didn't quite know what to say.

Benjamin, on the other hand, arched a brow and waited to see how he was going to salvage things.

“Well?”

“For instance, age, height, and some force majeure elements... Anyway, Daddy, don't worry. Anonymous is absolutely not a threat to you,” Anthony maintained.

“Can age and height still be an issue when even gender doesn't matter anymore?” Kenneth countered.

Anthony gaped at him.

What else can I say? It seems that I have no way of salvaging this matter without revealing my identity now.

As Kenneth clocked his hesitance, understanding seemingly dawned upon him. “Okay, I understand now. You're not supposed to speak of him.”

“Actually, it's not that, Daddy.”

Out of the blue, Kenneth gazed at them solemnly and asked, “Is Nat with Anonymous right now?”

Anthony stared at him for a long while. In the end, he shook his head. “No.”

Seeing that they both appeared serious, Kenneth nodded. “Got it.”

The two boys wanted to speak further when Kenneth suddenly put his cutlery down and looked right at them. “I'm done eating. You two can take your time. After eating, you can roam around here, but don't sneak out. Do you hear me?” he queried.

When Anthony saw the man getting to his feet and leaving, he instantly inquired, “Where are you going, Daddy?”

“I'm going to look for Nat!” Kenneth replied without a backward glance.

Watching as his figure disappeared from the dining room, Anthony mumbled, “Did Daddy misunderstand?”

He turned to Benjamin, only to see that the latter was eating leisurely. His brows creased. “You're still in the mood to eat?”

“Why wouldn't I be in the mood to eat when this has nothing to do with me?” While saying that, Benjamin continued eating with relish.

Anthony remained frowning. “What do you mean this has nothing to do with you?”

“You're Anonymous, not me. If you're worried that Daddy misunderstood, go and explain things to him!”

“I wanted to lay my cards on the table earlier, but he cut me off,” Anthony argued.

“If you really wanted to do so, could he have stopped you?” Benjamin retorted.

Anthony was so irked that his brows scrunched deeply together. “I just couldn't bring myself to admit it right then.”

“Then, just let Daddy misunderstand Mommy,” Benjamin drawled.
