Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 501

However, just as Anthony exited the room, Dave turned back. Upon seeing no one else but Benjamin there, he frowned.

“Where's Anthony?”

Benjamin never thought that Dave would be so quick to ask that, and after a second of rumination, he smiled and said, “Uh, he said his stomach feels weird, so he went to the bathroom.”

Dave glanced at him before rising to his feet to head toward the bathroom. Benjamin instantly told him “He went to the bathroom in our room!”

Dave narrowed his eyes. Hmm... Clearly, something is amiss.

“What's the matter? He can't use this bathroom?” Dave asked.

“He's a picky one. He prefers to use a bathroom he is familiar with,” Benjamin explained.

However, the more Benjamin explained, the more uneasy Dave became.

After all, Kenneth had instructed him to keep a close eye on the two boys.

If they could sneak their way here from Glenport City, it would not be a surprise if they could discreetly tail Kenneth.

With that thought in mind, Dave wasted no time spinning on his heels to head outside.

“Mr. Dave, where are you going?” Benjamin asked.

“He's feeling unwell, so I'm going to check on him.” With that, Dave left.

Benjamin furrowed his brows. He never thought Dave would be keeping such a close eye on them.

Thus, he quickly fished out his phone to message Anthony. Once he sent out the message, he hurried after Dave.

“Mr. Dave, I can go and look for Anthony instead. Things are about to start on the other side, and you have to stay to oversee it!” Benjamin cried out.

“It's fine. Miguel and the others know what to do.” With that, he continued striding forward.

Benjamin followed him, but he did not know what else he could say to the older man.

Forget it. I guess I have to steel myself and go with the flow.

Soon, Dave came to a stop in front of the room.

Right then, Benjamin lifted his head to look at Dave.

With a frown and a confused look on his face, Benjamin asked, “What's the matter, Mr. Dave?”

Dave glanced at him. “Open the door.”

It was only then Benjamin came back to his senses. “Oh!”

Benjamin put his hand in his pocket. I wonder if Anthony has gotten my message.

However, when his fingers touched the keycard, he said, “I don't think I brought my keycard out...”

Dave narrowed his eyes.

The longer he stared at Benjamin, the more suspicious he became.

Then, he took out his phone to make a call. Soon, someone ran over to open the door for them.

Dave pushed the door open and entered.

Benjamin followed suit, his heart racing.

However, no one was in the room. When Benjamin swept his gaze across the closed laptop on the table, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Dave scanned the area after stepping into the room.

When he realized that no one was around, he turned to Benjamin and asked, “Where is he?”

“Uh...”

Just as Benjamin was about to say something, the sounds of running water came from the bathroom. Immediately, both of them whipped their head toward it. In the next second, the bathroom door opened, and Anthony stepped out.

The moment Anthony saw them, a look of bewilderment crossed his face. “Mr. Dave? Benjamin? Why are you here?”

Dave's eyes were grim when he turned to look at Anthony, but the moment he saw the boy, his tense expression seemed to relax.

“We're here to look for you,” Dave said.

“What for? My stomach felt uncomfortable, so I came back to use the bathroom,” Anthony replied, doing his best to put on an innocent look.

“Your dad instructed me to protect you before you left. He's afraid that the people from Vermillion Base will come after you.”

Both Anthony and Benjamin were rendered speechless.
