Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 564

Dave remained unfazed as he continued driving. “Well, there're other candidates. But in comparison, you're more suitable!”

Right then, Anthony wriggled himself to the front with a curious expression on his face. “From which point of view exactly do you think that I'm suitable?”

“From my eye!” Dave replied without any hesitation.

Anthony could not believe what he had heard. “Goodness, Mr. Dave, that wasn't funny at all!”

Dave flashed a smirk. “You're good at most things, except when it comes to humor!”

“Mr. Dave, there's a difference between being humorous and being a joker!” Anthony defended.

“Technically, they're the same! They both make people laugh!” Dave said.

Anthony could not accept his reasoning and questioned, “Mr. Dave, imagine that you're on a date with your girlfriend, and you say something funny. A humorous line will make you look witty, but a bad joke will only cause awkwardness. Which of the two do you think a woman will prefer?”

Dave paused for a moment and did not respond.

Just then, Kenneth blurted out, “Dave has never been in a relationship before!”

Anthony looked at Dave in huge disbelief and exclaimed, “What? Is that true?”

“However, there's no lack of women around him!” Kenneth added.

It took a while for Anthony to understand what Kenneth meant. “Ah, it's because of his looks and wealth, right?”

Dave knitted his brows slightly as he listened to their conversation. “What's going on now? Both father and son are ganging up to bully me, huh?”

“Says who? We're obviously giving credit to your good looks!” Kenneth rebutted.

Anthony nodded in agreement. “That's right!”

“Well then, let me make it clear. Those women were attracted to me because of my charm, not because of my money!” Dave emphasized.

At that moment, Anthony looked at Dave and quipped, “Mr. Dave, are you admitting that there are a lot of women around you?”

Dave knew that he had shot himself in the foot and hastily explained, “We're just acquaintances!”

Anthony looked at him in concern and advised, “Mr. Dave, after looking at what happened to my father and Nat, I suggest you quit your playboy lifestyle. Otherwise, if you meet the destined one in the future, you might be shunned by her because of your frivolous past.”

Dave froze for a second when he heard that. Soon after, he murmured faintly, “I'm not as lucky as your father. I don't think I'll meet the right one in this lifetime...”

“Mr. Dave, don't be too quick to conclude. Just look at my father. Initially, he wasn't in the least interested in Nat. But now, he's hopelessly in love with her and paying the price for it. Am I right, Daddy?” Anthony turned to look at Kenneth and asked daringly.

Dave glanced over at Kenneth, who was nodding in agreement. “That's true. It took me so long to get things right, but it's better late than never!”

Dave grinned. “That's why I said you're lucky! You were given a second chance even though you committed a grave mistake. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that God is showing favoritism to you!”

However, Kenneth closed his eyes and said, “This has nothing to do with God. I got to where I am with perseverance!”

Dave chuckled lightly and turned back to look at Anthony. “Your father has been like this since the day I knew him—living his life fearlessly!”

Anthony found it hard to refute. “Well, I got to admit he's a bit cocky...”

“A bit is an understatement. He's super cocky!” Dave asserted.

Anthony raised his brows and looked at Kenneth. It did not seem that way in the past, but Dave's words made him realize perhaps that was his father's true nature.

Kenneth rolled his eyes at the both of them. “Rather than focusing on me, why don't you both continue with what you were discussing earlier?”

A sudden realization hit Anthony, and he turned to look at Dave. “We've digressed too far!”

Dave could not help but sigh for he had failed to divert the topic.

With a curious expression, Anthony continued, “So tell me, Mr. Dave, how am I suitable for the role?”

Dave was about to reply when Anthony chirped again, “If you patronize me again, I'll not treat you seriously as well!”

Dave was rendered speechless.

All right, this lad knows how to talk back now.
