Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 652

Looking at Denise, Anthony sighed in resignation.

It's pointless to say anything now.

As he remained silent, Benjamin piped up, “Although we didn't see what happened inside, we could hear that there seemed to be some sort of conflict between them, as if something had vaguely transpired. Daddy also promised Nat that he won't allow anything untoward to happen to her.”

That caused Anthony to furrow his brows.

Coupled with the conversation between Kenneth and Spencer, he knew they must be keeping a secret for a certainty; it was no longer just a mere suspicion of his.

“What happened afterward?” the boy then asked.

“Spencer is still in Thalia's room right now. The housekeeper went to the room to tidy up some things a few moments ago, but she hasn't come out yet,” Benjamin informed.

Anthony listened with a thoughtful look on his face.

His younger brother eyed him. “Do you know something?”

Anthony looked upward to meet his eyes, then nodded.

“What do you know?” Benjamin immediately pressed on.

After taking a deep breath, Anthony told his siblings about how he had followed their father earlier that day and heard the conversation between Kenneth and Spencer.

Benjamin knitted his brows tightly after hearing the divulgement from Anthony. “Based on what you've said, we can be a hundred percent sure that they're keeping something from us,” he reasoned.

“But despite all we've heard, we still can't figure out what it is!” Denise chimed in.

Benjamin deduced, “They probably did that on purpose. Maybe they communicated in that manner because they were worried that we would find out. After all, they didn't have to be overly explicit to understand one another.”

Anthony nodded. “Yes. We can't rule out that possibility.”

“What should we do, then?” Denise asked. “Just what is it that we cannot know?”

He froze momentarily before murmuring, “I'm just afraid that it's something bad...”

“Something bad...” The incident of Natasha fainting flashed through her mind. On second thought, that's unlikely. If it had something to do with Nat, Daddy would've long been restless, and he wouldn't be as calm as he is now.

At that moment, Anthony piped up, “Based on what we've heard, we know that Daddy will certainly take action, but as to when that will happen, it remains unclear. For now, we shall stick to the plan—we'll split up and ask to see if we can find out something.”

Benjamin and Denise nodded in unison.

“Come on. Let's go and visit Thalia now,” Anthony suggested. “Perhaps we can still find out something if we head there now.”

In response, his siblings bobbed their heads again.

While Anthony was the most perverse of the three, he was also the best at solving problems, so with him taking the lead, Benjamin and Denise naturally did not have to think as much.

With that, the trio set off together.

“We'll just pretend that nothing is going on, and we just came to play with Thalia as usual,” Anthony said.

“Acting is what I'm best at,” was Denise's response.

Benjamin merely stated, “I'll just keep my mouth shut.”

“Mm. You seem to know yourself quite well,” Anthony commented.

“You simply can't go without insulting me, can't you?” Benjamin retorted.

Anthony replied, “That's not true. I'm just used to it.”

At that, Benjamin found himself at a loss for words.

Subsequently, he cast his brother a side-eye and said no more.

Just as they were approaching Thalia's room, they bumped into their parents.

“Daddy, Nat,” Anthony greeted.

A grim look flashed across Kenneth's eyes when he saw the trio. “What are you three doing here?”

Frowning, Anthony responded, “We came to see Thalia, of course... Is there a problem?”

With his eyes cast downward, Kenneth stated, “Spencer is examining Thalia now, so it's not convenient for the three of you to go in. Head back to your room first.”

“Is that so?” Anthony queried, a small frown creasing his forehead. Then, he looked toward Thalia's room and continued, “How long will it take for the examination to be completed? We can just wait here.”
