Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 986

Meanwhile, upon his return, Anthony took a bath, changed his clothes, tidied up a bit, and then, with his bag slung over his shoulder, he prepared to head out again.

However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw Thalia standing outside.

Anthony was taken aback when he saw her. “Can I help you with something?”

“Go check on Denise!” Thalia said.

Anthony furrowed his brows when he heard that. “What's wrong with her?”

Thalia sighed helplessly and glanced at him. “Go and see for yourself!”

With a slight frown, Anthony headed straight for Denise's room.

After reaching the door, Anthony knocked, but there was no response from inside.

Anthony glanced back at Thalia. “Just go in!” she said.

Without any further hesitation, Anthony pushed the door open and walked right in.

Glancing around the room, there was not a soul in sight.

“Where is she?” Anthony asked.

Thalia gestured for him to look toward the bed again. Upon closer inspection, Anthony realized that the quilt on the bed was puffed up.

Moreover, it seemed like a sobbing sound was coming from under the blanket.

Seeing the situation, Anthony walked over in that direction.

Sitting by the bed, Anthony listened to the sounds coming from under the blanket. He reached out and patted the blanket.

“Denise,” he called out.

However, the person under the blanket did not respond.

“Are you hiding here and crying?” Anthony asked.

Denise's voice broke out in uncontrollable crying.

Listening to her sobbing, Anthony's eyes also turned red.

“She's been crying for a long time now, and nothing seems to console her!” said Thalia helplessly.

Anthony's gaze once again fell on the bundle of blankets. “Are you planning to suffocate yourself?”

However, no matter what Anthony said, all that could be heard from within the quilt were sobs and uncontrollable cries.

Hearing her heartbroken sobs, Anthony understood that she had learned something.

After a moment of thought, Anthony suddenly asked, “Denise, do you want to see Daddy?”

No sooner had the words fallen than the person hiding under the blanket suddenly stopped sobbing. The next second, the blanket was thrown off, and Denise sat up straight. “Yes!”

Her eyes were a bright red, even somewhat swollen. Her usually well-kept hair looked disheveled. It was clear that she had been crying for a long time, and she was truly upset.

Seeing her like that, Anthony couldn't help but feel a sting in his nose, too.

At that moment, Denise looked at him and whispered, “Tony, I want to see daddy. Could you take me to him?”

Anthony was trying his best to keep his emotions in check. He looked at her and muttered, “I can take you there, but if you go like this, I'm afraid Nat will scold you when we arrive!”

Denise looked at him with a sense of injustice. “So, what should I do?”

Seeing her state, Anthony reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face. Then, he softly said, “Go freshen up, wash your face, and make yourself presentable. Otherwise, if you show up like this, even Daddy will be taken aback by your appearance!”

Denise cried even harder when Anthony mentioned Kenneth. However, she forced herself to smile and said, “Okay. I'll go wash my face to see Daddy!” Without waiting for Anthony to say anything else, she immediately jumped off the bed and ran toward the bathroom, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

Watching her retreating figure, Anthony's gaze was unfathomably deep.

His demeanor was already mature to begin with, but after that ordeal, he seemed even more seasoned.
