Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 636

The voting passed.

Anthony nodded. “So be it, if that's the case!”

Benjamin gave Denise a nod of agreement.

Anthony went forward and stopped in his tracks when he suddenly remembered something. “Another question—who's going to take the lead?”

Three of them exchanged looks without saying a thing.

“Let's cast a vote by pointing to the person we want to vote for, and the final results cannot be disputed,” Anthony suggested.

He then nodded at Denise to express approval.

“One, two, three, vote!”

Immediately after he counted down and before he could raise his hand, Denise and Benjamin's fingers were already pointed toward him.

Anthony stared at them, perplexed. “Are you both in cahoots?”

Denise flashed an impish smile, immensely pleased with the outcome.

Benjamin said, “We're not intentionally targeting you. I'm just saying no one is as good as you are at blackmailing, so this role is perfect for you.”

“Why so humble? You're not so bad yourself. Why don't you go?” Anthony asked.

“I'm the brains, and you're the brawn,” Benjamin countered.

Denise seconded what he said with a nod. “Ben is right.”

“I—”

“Tony, the final results can't be contested,” she reminded him.

Anthony swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. He had made the rules. Saying anything else would be a slap to himself.

“Fine, I'll go and show you my charms.” He retracted his gaze and headed in the direction of Spencer's lab.

He knocked on the door before pushing it open. Then, he saw two figures inside clasped in each other's embrace as the door swung open.

Anthony froze in bewilderment.

Uh... What's happening? Are they flirting like that? And why is there a couple in each room?

As he stood there, rooted to the ground, Denise and Benjamin came from behind him. “What's the matter? Weren't you going to show us your prowess? Why aren't you going in?” Denise asked.

Anthony hastily slipped out when he heard her approaching, and Benjamin caught a brief glimpse inside before the door was closed.

Denise, on the other hand, didn't see anything and looked at Anthony. “What is it? Why did you close the door?”

He pursed his lips. “Give me a moment. I'll go in to ask later.”

“Why?” she pressed.

“There are people flirting inside,” Benjamin replied.

Denise stopped dead, her eyes as wide as saucers. “Do you mean Thalia and Spencer?”

He nodded.

She seemed to recall something and added, “Oh, right. I was the one who sent Thalia over. What are they doing...” Denise took a step forward with a curious expression to cop a peek.

Anthony and Benjamin's hands shot out to grab her collar.

“What are you both doing?” She struggled.

“See no evil!”

“Hear no evil!”

Anthony and Benjamin finished each other's sentences.

Denise gave up since she couldn't break free from their grips, no matter how hard she tried. “Fine, fine, I won't peep at them. Jeez, why did you say it as if it's something bad?”

“It's nothing to be curious about. It's just a normal thing people do,” Anthony responded.
