Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 505

“What do you think?” Eyeing Benjamin, Dave mimicked him and flashed him a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Benjamin went silent.

Gosh, adults are really troublesome. He imitated my tactic in such a short time that I don't quite know what to say right now.

Pursing his lips, he started, “Mr. Dave, I think you should ask Anthony directly if you've got any questions instead of dragging bystanders into the mess. Isn't that so?”

Dave studied him for a moment before drawling, “I merely want to remind you to stay in the room and not to wander around.”

“Oh...” Benjamin murmured.

When the man said nothing further, he whirled around and left.

He's not asking me anything? He didn't ask me a single question!

With skepticism lingering within him, Benjamin returned to the room.

In the room, Benjamin swept his gaze around the space the instant he stepped in the door.

But then, no one was there.

Hence, he walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on the door.

Anthony's agonized voice drifted out from within. “My stomach is acting up...”

At that, Benjamin heaved a sigh. “Cut the act! I'm alone!”

In the next second, the door swung open. Anthony poked his head out and darted his eyes around.

Only after he had ascertained that Benjamin was alone did he breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he strutted out boldly.

Benjamin shot him a look. “You should've known better.”

In response, Anthony swept a gaze over him. “The situation then was special. I couldn't just do nothing and watch them lose when it had to do with whether we could save Nat. Besides, Mr. Dave was helping us. I would be an ingrate if I were to allow his team to lose. Therefore, it stood to reason that I should have acted.”

Benjamin nodded in agreement. “Well, if you had remained passive any longer, even I would've acted!”

“Then, I should've restrained myself a while longer at that time!” Anthony groaned.

Benjamin rolled his eyes at him. Does he even have a conscience?

In the next heartbeat, however, he asked, “Have you decided how to explain things later?”

Anthony regarded him dubiously. “You've already found an excuse for me, no? I'll just go with that!”

At present, that excuse is the most ideal!

“But you didn't seem as though you only learned a bit. You acted as though you weren't afraid that you'd be identified!” Benjamin teased.

“Was I that obvious?” Anthony queried.

“What do you think?”

After pondering for some time, Anthony clarified in slight embarrassment, “Mainly, it was because the situation then was urgent, so I had no time to consider so much. Oh well, I'm just too outstanding that it ultimately can't be concealed!”

Benjamin was rendered speechless.

Hah! As if!

He glowered at his brother, gripped by the urge to riposte him.

Right away, he rolled his eyes at Anthony.

Nevertheless, Anthony wasn't at all bothered.

No matter what others say and how they regard me, it's because they're jealous!

Benjamin trained his eyes on him. “It's still fine with Mr. Dave since we can still somewhat convince him. But what about Daddy? Do you think he won't learn about the matter today? Will you be able to brush things off?” he questioned.

“Why not? At worse, I'll just tell him that Nat taught me. She'll definitely back me up on this!” Anthony declared confidently.

Benjamin contemplated for a moment. “Just tell him the truth. He won't betray you!”
