Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 84

They ate away to fill their tummy a little before continuing with their previous discussion.

Between bites, Anthony turned his attention to Thalia and asked, “Earlier, you said you have a plan to capture the culprit. What is that plan?”

Thalia paused for a moment before she parted her lips. “I'm not sure if it'll work, but we can try this.”

Anthony had his eyes on Thalia.

Thalia inched closer to him and pointed out, “That guy wants your mommy dead, so what do you think he will do if he realizes that she survived?”

Anthony narrowed his eyes a little. “Ah, I get what you're saying now.”

“We'll set a trap because it is likely we don't need to go to him at all. He might come to us,” said Thalia as she arched her brows once.

Anthony smiled. “I take back what I said earlier about you.”

“Huh?”

“You know? When I said you are stupid.”

Thalia was momentarily speechless, but she eventually found her voice. “Hey, my reaction is normal, okay? Who would've thought that the hacker who has everyone on edge is just a kid? No one could've anticipated that!”

Anthony nodded in agreement after he heard what Thalia said. He replied, “Hmm, thank you for the compliment.”

Thalia couldn't speak for a moment there.

Anthony wasn't humble at all, and that prompted her to scan him a little. “How could a tiny baby like you not know humility at all?”

“Hasn't my skill earned me the right to act this way?” challenged Anthony in between bites.

Thalia considered the situation. I guess he is right about that. He is just a kid, but he's

so skilled and has already accomplished so much. Given those circumstances, it's a miracle that a child like him isn't infuriatingly arrogant. He must have an exceptional mother who teaches him manners and to lie low.

Thalia stared as she ate. “A kid like you should get a better education and training.”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Kyle told me that there is a training facility where talented kids from all around the world gather. They are given the best education, taught the most advanced skills, and trained to be as ruthless as possible. It's a comprehensive training facility meant to train kids to be experts in every field. The entrance exam is brutal, but I'm certain that you can get in.”

Anthony grinned when he heard that. “I'll pass.

“Seriously? You're not interested? You realize that many would die for an opportunity to go there, right?” said Thalia.

“I just want to be with my mommy.”

Thalia was rendered speechless once more.

He is probably the only person on Earth with such ridiculously little ambition.

“You think your mommy won't let you go?”

“I don't know how she'll decide, but I want to stay by her side and protect her.”

“Your daddy will be there to protect your mommy, so you should go. Don't be a third-wheel.”

“She's single,” replied Anthony.

“Oh...” muttered Thalia. She was taken aback and looked at Anthony. “You're from a single-parent household?”

Anthony nodded.

“Then, your mommy must be an incredible person,” complimented Thalia. She just couldn't help it. I am so, so impressed. How does she teach her children so well despite being the only one there for them?

Anthony grinned and nodded in agreement. As far as he was concerned, Natasha truly was at the best of the best. No one else could come close to her.

Thalia didn't push any further after she saw the look on Anthony's face. “Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when we reach it. Still, I should warn you that if Kyle knows about you being a kid, he will surely try to get you to go to that training facility.”

“He can try, but he can't force me to go if I don't want to.”

“You are wasting your talent...”

“I'm okay with that.”

At that point, Thalia felt as though there was no way to keep that conversation going anymore.

The duo finished eating before Thalia turned to look at Anthony. “Okay, then. It's late, so how about I drop you off at the hospital?”

Anthony nodded.

When they reach the entrance of the hospital, however, Anthony showed no intention of leaving the car at all.

Thalia stared and asked, “Why aren't you getting out of the car?”

“I'll wait until morning. My mommy is definitely still sleeping, so I will go to her after she wakes up,” replied Anthony.
