Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 774

Anthony happened to brush past Denise as he walked out.

Noticing his haste, Denise went over to Thalia, who was sitting at the table, and asked curiously, “Where's Tony off to?”

“He has gone crazy. He's seriously out of his mind,” Thalia muttered as she munched on the snacks on the table, preoccupied with her thoughts.

Just then, Benjamin walked over and sat down. “Yes, he has gone crazy. What about you?”

Her gaze fell upon him. “I've gone crazy too, but I was driven to madness by him!”

“Judging from your expression, however, I don't see any signs that you were driven to madness.”

“They're all in here,” she responded while pointing at her heart.

Denise knitted her brows as she listened to their conversation. “What are the two of you talking about?”

“Tony asked Thalia to help him look for people. They've set their eyes on someone and will head out sometime over these two days,” Benjamin explained tersely.

Hearing that, Thalia stared at him in surprise. “Why, look at you! You weren't here, yet you know everything.”

“I wasn't standing nearby, but that doesn't mean I couldn't hear you,” came Benjamin's reply.

Listening to the pair teasing each other, Denise immediately said, “I want to go too!”

“Whatever for?” Thalia asked, turning to her.

“I want to help Tony look for that person, of course!”

“It's a dodgy place and too dangerous. You'd better stay here,” Thalia answered.

“No! I want to go with you. Besides, you'll be there to protect us, won't you?”

Thalia retorted, “I can't take on that many opponents on my own. How am I supposed to protect all three of you?”

“Looks like you've counted me in already. Good. I don't have to say anything then,” Benjamin piped up.

Thalia was stunned. What she said was purely a slip of her tongue. “I wasn't—”

Before she could finish her sentence, he rose to his feet and continued, “In that case, I'll be heading back to my room too to get ready.”

Dumbstruck, she frowned as she watched him walk away. What on earth has gotten into these brats?

Seeing that, Denise immediately pouted in dissatisfaction. “Thalia, do you also think that girls aren't as capable as boys?”

Turning to see her looking disgruntled, Thalia protested, “Not at all. That wasn't what I meant.”

“Then why did you agree to let Ben go but not me?”

“I didn't agree to it!”

“Well, are you going to be able to stop him?”

Thalia paused for a moment. “I most probably won't be able to stop him.”

“See? We're both girls. How can you not believe in me?” Denise pressed on.

“I'm just worried for your safety, that's all.”

“So, you're not worried for Tony and Ben?”

“They're tough and strong. Even if they have to suffer a little, they'll be fine. However, you're my precious little darling. How could I bear to let you suffer? Am I right?” Thalia responded, giving Denise a gentle pinch on her chin.

Denise shook her head. “Nope. I may be a girl, but I'm not afraid of a little hardship. I already don't get to spend much time with you guys, so I must make the most of it!”

“But—”

“Oh, Thalia. Just bring me along. Can you really bear leaving me here all by myself? Besides, I'll miss you terribly if I don't get to see you for even a day. Come on, Thalia. Pretty please?” Denise wheedled while hugging the woman's arm.

Thalia felt dizzy as Denise shook her back and forth. Who can say no to her when she acts all adorable like this?

“All right, all right, fine. I'll take you with me, okay?”

Denise paused her movements immediately and looked at Thalia. “Really?”

“I've agreed to it, so it's okay by me. However, you'll still have to convince your parents, and I won't help you with that,” Thalia replied with a shake of her head.

Her bright eyes darted from side to side, then she nodded. “No problem. I'll take care of that myself.”
