Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 448

When the trio left the shop, Anthony brought the bottle of drink Natasha touched with him.

While he hadn't figured out what the message was, it didn't mean it wasn't there. He simply needed time to think about it.

After looking around the area and not finding Kenneth's tracks, they went back to their previously agreed-upon location.

When they arrived, Dave was already there.

Anthony knew what the result was when he saw Dave alone.

It was the same for Dave when he saw them.

“I think this is enough for today. We can stay here for the night and keep searching afterward. Your daddy's not going to be easy to find, so we need time,” Dave suggested.

It saddened Anthony to hear that, but he still nodded.

At this moment, Dave noticed the drink in Anthony's hand and furrowed his eyebrows. “You like to drink that kind of stuff, Anthony?”

Staring at the drink in his hand that Natasha had touched, Anthony frowned slightly before answering, “No. We ran into Nat over there earlier.”

A puzzled look flashed past Dave's eyes. “What did you say? You ran into her? Where is she?”

“She was with Boss. I only saw her from afar. Thalia mentioned it was very possible that it was a trap, so we didn't go forward.”

Dave glanced at Thalia and nodded. “That's a good judgment.”

“After they left, we went into the shop she was at. The building has surveillance cameras. Based on the footage we've seen, we determined that this is the signal Nat left us!”

“Did she notice you guys too?”

Anthony shook his head.

“Then how are you so certain this is the signal she left you?”

“Because those who are close to her will understand she doesn't drink this. Yet, she bought this at the shop.”

“Maybe she bought it for someone else?” Dave speculated. The possibility was low but not zero.

“Like who? Boss?”

“Maybe it's because there wasn't a better beverage choice, so she picked this one? In any case, there are a lot of reasons.”

“Nat's not that kind of person. She would rather drink plain water than this. That's why I'm sure this is a signal she left us.”

“Okay, if that really is the case, how are you so sure this signal is left specifically for you?”

Just as Anthony was about to explain, Thalia interjected impatiently, “Why are you asking so many questions? They just know that it's true when it comes to matters like this because they're blood-related. They can sense it. Why is it so hard for you to believe that a mother and her children understand each other very well? It's a matter of instinct and feeling between people who are very familiar with each other. Are you going to tell me you never felt that way before?”

Dave turned to her. “I just want to confirm it. After all, how did she know they would come?” That was the most important thing he was curious about.

Pursing her lips, Thalia wanted to reply, but Anthony went first. “It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, Mr. Dave. This is the truth. She wasn't sure if we would see her message, but we did.”

Thalia nodded. “That's right. Besides, they may be young, but they're intelligent.”

Hearing that, Dave shifted his gaze to the drink in Anthony's hand. “Let me see.”

Without hesitation, Anthony gave it to him.

Dave grabbed the drink and examined it. It was a can the size of any ordinary beer can. The brand name that was printed on the can was Wilser.

“Wilser...” he muttered. As though he thought of something, he looked up and stared at Anthony. “Which shop?”
