Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 470

Anthony's eyes glistened as he looked at Natasha.

She's still protecting me at a time like this! This is what true bliss feels like!

“Nat, I've received the secret message you sent me. Don't worry. We'll make preparations to support you when you need it. Whatever it is, you can leave me a message. I'll definitely find it,” Anthony said.

Natasha flashed him a grin. “All right!”

“It's time to go,” the guard pestered from behind.

Natasha ignored him and reminded Anthony instead, “Take care of yourself.”

“I know.” Anthony nodded.

With that, Natasha retracted her gaze and got into the car.

The guard walked past Anthony and mumbled, “Punk.”

Anthony ignored him and simply looked in Natasha's direction with reluctance.

Natasha, too, was looking back at him from inside the car.

Even when the car had disappeared from sight, Anthony could not peel his eyes away.

Right then, Kenneth emerged from inside the shop. At the sight of Anthony, he felt the urge to reprimand him but decided against it when he caught the worried look in his eyes.

Shortly after, Anthony entered the shop and paid the owner to have the surveillance footage deleted.

Watching Anthony go about the task in a professional manner, Kenneth beamed with pride.

Back inside the car, Kenneth looked at Dave. “You shouldn't have let him out. What if something untoward happened?”

Before Dave could respond, Anthony said, “Daddy, don't blame Mr. Dave. I was the one who insisted on going down.”

Kenneth turned around and looked at his son sternly. “Do you know how dangerous it was just now? What if that man was aware of Nat's background and recognized you? What would have happened then?”

“I know. But Daddy, there are certain matters I just have to verify.”

“Matters? What matters?”

“Nat's clue, of course. You didn't even bring it up, so I had to check it myself. What if we got it wrong?”

Stunned by the comment, Kenneth looked away. “It's not that I didn't bring it up, but it was unnecessary to do so.”

Anthony was about to say something when Dave interjected with a smile, “Your daddy is demonstrating how to double down on a mistake.”

Kenneth shot Dave a warning glance.

Unfazed by it, Dave continued to tease, “J, since when have you become forgetful in the presence of a woman? Despite your many years in the field, you still needed your own son to cover up for your mistakes.”

Dave just couldn't stop smiling. I never expected this to happen to him!

Kenneth couldn't deny the truth despite his refusal to admit it.

Left without a choice, he decided to face the facts.

“What's with that sarcastic tone? Are you envious?” he asked.

“I—”

“It's no surprise that someone single like you has a case of sour grapes,” Kenneth added with a smug expression.

Dave glared at him. “Yeah, yeah, so what? Do you think it's a big deal just because you have someone?”

“Of course it is!” Kenneth gloated with a shrug. “Not only do I have a partner, but I also have three children. Do you have any?”

Dave was completely stumped.

It's true that I don't... Forget it. This competition is a waste of time.

Seeing that Dave was silent, Kenneth flashed a proud smile. “That's why you should stop being jealous of me. After all, I have something you don't.” With that, Kenneth started the car and drove off.
