Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 820

The first thing Benjamin saw when he woke up early the following morning was Anthony's face right in front of his. The latter's expression was as black as thunder.

Benjamin knew Anthony's biggest pet peeve was others sleeping in his bed, so he immediately shot his older brother a sugary smile upon seeing him. “Good morning, Tony.”

Although Anthony returned the smile, it did not reach his eyes. “Did you sleep well?”

“Pretty well,” Benjamin answered, nodding.

However, Anthony's face darkened further at his reply. “But I didn't sleep well.”

“Why not?” Benjamin asked.

Without saying anything, Anthony shifted his gaze to Benjamin's body. Upon noticing that, Benjamin followed his brother's line of sight and saw that he had the thick blanket tangled around him. Then, he looked back at Anthony, who did not even have a small corner of the blanket covering him.

Uh-oh...

Benjamin felt a shiver run down his spine, and he immediately let go of the covers wrapped around him. He lifted his eyes to look at Anthony. “I probably only just did that... Right?”

“What do you think?” Anthony retorted through clenched teeth.

Benjamin chuckled sheepishly. What can I do? It's a sleeping habit I just can't change...

Alarmed to see how Anthony was glowering at him, he quickly held up his wrist to check his watch. “Gosh, look at the time! Oh, dear. I'm a bit hungry, so I'll go and have breakfast first.”

Before Anthony could respond, he had already rolled off the bed, put on his slippers, and hurried to leave the room. He moved as deftly as though he had practiced it beforehand.

He waited until he was at the door before pausing and turning toward Anthony with a smile. “Tony, if I recall correctly, you were the one who covered the blanket over me. Am I right?”

After saying that, he broke into a triumphant grin, then closed the door behind him and dashed off.

Anthony sat on the bed and watched as the door closed. After Benjamin left the room, his grim expression gradually turned into a look of resignation.

Sighing, he got up and quickly made the bed before going to wash up.

By the time he went downstairs to the dining room half an hour later, everyone else was already there, leisurely having breakfast.

Denise stopped midbite as Anthony walked over and asked, “Do you know what time it so? Why are you so late today?”

Exasperated, Anthony settled into an empty seat and took some food before replying in an unhurried tone, “Ask Benjamin.”

“Ben?” she echoed, looking toward her other brother.

Hearing that, Thalia and Miguel also turned to Benjamin. What does he mean? What's going on?

Benjamin, who was engrossed in eating, froze when he heard Anthony's reply. He lifted his gaze and stared at Anthony, then replied helplessly, “It's not like I did it on purpose...”

“So are you saying what you did is okay because it wasn't on purpose?”

“If it's such a big deal, you can have it all to yourself tonight!”

“No need for that. Just stay out of my room from now on,” said Anthony, giving him a dirty look.

Benjamin nodded. “Okay, okay. I won't go into your room anymore, okay?”

Here, Thalia jumped in to enquire, “What happened? Did you two sleep in the same room last night?”

The two boys looked at each other upon hearing her question, neither uttering a word.

Thalia frowned.

Seeing the scene before her, Denise could not help but laugh.
