Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 648

Meanwhile, Anthony was sneakily treading on Kenneth's heels.

As the boy watched his father enter Spencer's laboratory, a trace of doubt flickered in his eyes. Seconds later, he took a couple of steps forward and leaned against the wall, listening attentively.

Thus began a conversation inside the laboratory.

“You need me?” asked Kenneth.

Spencer inclined his head.

“What is this about?”

After taking a deep breath, Spencer shifted his gaze to Kenneth. “Have you thought of how you would deal with the matter?”

At the mention of that topic, the latter parted his lips and answered, “I have already made plans.”

“When will you take action?” came Spencer's query.

Upon hearing the question, Kenneth pondered momentarily before he replied, “Why are you asking about this?”

“I'm joining you.”

“You?”

Spencer did not avert his eyes as he elucidated the circumstance, “Now, this is no longer your personal affair. You have nothing to worry about bringing me along. I won't be your burden, and besides, I'm much more useful than you could ever imagine.”

“I didn't mean anything like that...” While maintaining eye contact, Kenneth went on, “Are the results out?”

Spencer nodded. “Mm.”

His reaction alone was sufficient to say it all, so Kenneth did not even need to dig into it.

A brief moment of silence later, Kenneth looked at Spencer and said, “Sorry.”

A wry smile touched the latter's lips on that note. “Why are you apologizing? You know this has nothing to do with you.”

“If it weren't for Nat—”

“It's not her fault either,” interrupted Spencer. “No one could've predicted things to turn out like this.”

Kenneth kept his lips buttoned.

Just then, Spencer voiced, “I suppose we do share a common enemy now. Since this might even be our one and only chance, I must join you. Otherwise, even if you guys were to succeed in getting what you want, it could still be a fake. We simply can't afford the risk!”

Kenneth contemplated those words. Moments later, he uttered, “Of course, your presence would definitely make our job a breeze. In that case, I'll ask someone to begin the preparations. I'll inform you before we set off.”

“Roughly when?” inquired Spencer.

As the two exchanged glances, he continued, “The sooner we tackle the problem, the better.”

“You know, I'm just as impatient as you are, but as you said, we might be granted only one attempt at it. So, I'll have to make sure everything is flawless,” Kenneth responded.

Spencer inclined his head. “I understand.”

“Rest assured. We'll go as soon as possible.”

Seeing Kenneth make such a commitment, Spencer nodded once more.

During the interim, Anthony's entire body had almost hugged the wall as he paid the utmost attention to every word of the discussion between the adults. As if he was afraid of missing crucial details, he even began to inch closer to the door.

“Oh, right. One more thing—”

Before Spencer could bring up another issue, Kenneth's ears twitched all of a sudden, and he flashed the former a meaningful look.

Slightly startled, Spencer took a moment before he shot a wary gaze to the door.

At that point in time, Anthony was still leaning against the door. In fact, he was inundated with puzzlement when the laboratory became quiet out of the blue. Without a second thought, he boldly pressed his ear to the door, seemingly wishing to dig through the door.

Alas, right at that juncture, the door was flung open abruptly.

Anthony nearly lost his grip on the door because of that, but luckily, he managed to remain steady and did not drop to the ground.

The next second, he could feel a silhouette looming over him from above. Lifting his head, the boy looked at the person standing right before his eyes. After being stunned for a moment, he swiftly forced himself to smile.

“Daddy, Spencer.”

“What are you doing here?” Kenneth's tone was cold, but his visage was icier.

“I...” Anthony darted his eyes from side to side as he instantly came up with an ingenious scheme, thus blurting out then and there, “I'm here to see Spencer.”
