Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 728

Nonchalantly, Thalia looked away. “Who wouldn't be afraid when they suddenly heard a voice coming from their back in the middle of the night?”

Upon glancing at the sky, Anthony gazed at her. “Are you sure?”

In response, she surveyed her surrounding and realized it was already morning. It had been four hours since they left! I didn't realize it had been that long!

After being exposed, she felt somewhat guilty. Hence, she gave him a side glance and uttered, “The sun hasn't completely risen yet!”

Of course, Anthony knew Thalia was a stubborn woman. I need something much more effective.

It was then Denise sat beside her. “Have you been sitting here since midnight, Thalia?”

“No way! I only came out not too long ago,” Thalia denied.

“Is that so?”

“Of course. Do you think I'm lying?”

The girl sighed with disappointment.

“What does that mean?” Thalia raised her eyebrow. Why does she look disappointed?

In response, Denise turned to Benjamin, who was behind her. “Have you gotten the surveillance footage yet, Ben?”

Benjamin was holding his phone when he heard that. Immediately, he nodded and ambled toward her. “I did. As you can see, she has been staying here all night.”

Stunned, Thalia swept her gaze past them and asked, “Is that really necessary?”

“Then why did you lie to us?” interrogated Denise.

Pursing her lips, Thalia stared at the trio before saying, “Do you have to make such a big deal out of a casual remark?”

“Thalia!” Denise exclaimed.

“All right, it's getting late. I'm feeling drowsy, so I'll return to my room and rest now.” As she spoke, she stood, yawned, and prepared to slink away.

Before she could take one step away from them, Denise pulled her clothes.

“I really am tired. If there's anything you want to talk about, wait until I wake up, all right? Good girl.” Thalia patted the girl's head before attempting to escape.

“It's futile to avoid us, Thalia. Tell us the truth.” Anthony's cold voice rang behind her.

She ceased her movements and stared at the girl who was still pulling her clothes.

In response, the latter peered at Thalia with a pleading look.

Thalia took in a deep breath. Why am I so weak against these three? I'm confident I can win if I only need to deal with them one at a time. However, it's three against one right now, which caught me off guard. Then again, I guess it's expected that I can't win against the three of them when they are Kenneth's and Shadow Seeker's children. Both of them are exceptionally smart, so it's natural that their children are, too.

When her train of thought ended there, she felt relieved.

It was then Benjamin approached her and stated, “The cars in the garage are gone. Daddy, Nat, and Mr. Dave aren't around either. Aside from the housekeeper, the four of us are the only ones left in the house. What happened last night, Thalia?”
