Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 468

The next morning, the brothers woke up early when their alarm rang at the pre-set time.

Worried that Kenneth would leave without them, both of them had prepared themselves first thing in the morning.

Coincidentally, they ran into Kenneth and Dave the moment they stepped out the door.

Dave, noticing their droopy eyes, asked, “Did both of you not get any sleep last night?”

“Let's not talk about it.” Anthony sighed in resignation. “Last night, Thalia forced us to accompany her on the balcony till dawn.”

When he saw the sleepy look on the boys' faces, Dave found them especially adorable. It was as if both of them were being forced to go to work.

Looking at them, Kenneth suggested, “You two should go back to sleep. Dave and I will take care of things.”

However, the boys—jolted awake by his words—shook their heads instead.

“No, we want to go!”

“But—” Dave gave them a teasing look.

“We're fine. We're not sleepy at all!” Both of them forced themselves to look alert.

At the boys' reaction, Dave and Kenneth chuckled in unison.

“Daddy, even though Mr. Dave knows that shop, we were the ones who first discovered it. Perhaps we could find other clues there. Don't you think so?” Anthony asked.

Kenneth nodded in agreement. “That makes sense.”

“So...”

“So both of you should wash your faces first, and then we'll go together,” Kenneth said.

After nodding in acknowledgment, Anthony and Benjamin rushed to freshen up and pack before zipping back out, fearful that Kenneth would leave them behind.

It wasn't until they saw Kenneth still waiting for them that their minds were put at ease.

Kenneth handed them some food. “Grab a simple bite first. Once we see Nat, I'll treat you boys to a feast.”

Anthony and Benjamin took the food and began to dig in.

With Kenneth in the driver's seat, the four of them set off.

The shop wasn't far away, so the journey was short. When they arrived within its vicinity, they—worried about being noticed—stopped and parked the car at the side.

Anthony pointed at the shop. “Daddy, that's the one!”

After giving it a look, Kenneth turned toward the boys. “You guys should stay here and stay out of sight. I'll go in alone.”

“Daddy, isn't it too early for you to go now?” Anthony asked.

“Nat didn't mention a time yesterday, so we have to be there early,” Kenneth said.

“Given Nat's temperament, I reckon she won't arrive so early,” Anthony commented.

“This time's special, hence unpredictable. Anyway, I'll get myself prepared while you guys keep an eye out here. Let me know once Nat arrives,” Kenneth instructed.

Anthony nodded.

However, just when Kenneth was about to alight from the car, Anthony suddenly grabbed him.

Turning around, Kenneth could see the brimming hope in Anthony's eyes.

“What's wrong?”

Anthony gave him an earnest look. “Daddy, tell Nat that we miss her a lot.”

Kenneth looked at Anthony, then at Benjamin. “All right.”

“Also, give this to Nat.” Anthony handed something to Kenneth, who looked down at it.

“This is a secret between Nat and us. Daddy, you're not allowed to peek,” Anthony said.

Kenneth curled his lips. “That's something I can't guarantee.” With that, he opened the car door and got out.

Anthony and Benjamin watched as Kenneth walked away.

It wasn't until Kenneth entered the shop that Dave covered his ear. “Testing. How's the signal?”
