Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 58

Chapter 59 Did You Not Go to School?

The people who doubted Lilly when she told the fortune suddenly felt as if they were slapped in the face. They looked embarrassed.

Someone said, “It’s unbelievable… If it was a coincidence, how could it be so accurate? It’s exactly 10:18 AM!”

“It isn’t something that can be predicted by a normal human…”

“I think it’s impossible. I’ll believe it Master Sullivan said it, but the girl from the Crawford is so little…”

They thought Lilly was only speaking nonsense and that everything had only been a coincidence. Otherwise, it would be too unbelievable.

Some people were shocked, and some were doubtful, but Lilly sat in her seat quietly, unaffected by them at all.

After the ribbon-cutting ended, the host gave a thank you speech, and the audience stood up. Anthony and the people in charge of Taylor Entertainment were surrounded, so they could not return to their seats.

Naturally, a big shot like Colton was also surrounded. Everyone seized the chance to get in touch with him.

Colton instructed Ivan softly, “Take care of Lilly.”

Ivan did not show any expression as he nodded blankly.

He paid attention when talking to Lilly but was perfunctory when talking to his father. Even Colton was speechless about this!

Lilly held Charlie’s hand and said happily, “Mr. Brown, let’s go! I want to eat cakes!”

Ivan put his hands in his pockets cooly and followed behind Lilly.

“Cakes, cakes…” Lilly’s eyes lit up when she saw the little cakes on the refreshment table. She tiptoed, but she was still not tall enough to reach them…

As Charlie was about to help her take it, a small hand reached out from the side. Ivan took a little piece of cake and handed it to her. “Here.”

Lilly happily thanked Ivan. She held the cake carefully as she sat on the couch and took a bite.

“It’s so sweet! It’s even sweeter than first love!” Lilly nodded, looking as if she knew everything.

Charlie laughed and asked, “Do you know what first love is?”

Lilly mumbled as she ate the cake, “I don’t know! The old man who sells watermelons always says this.”

She imitated how the old man waved his hand. “Come over, come over! Fresh watermelons! They’re sweeter than first love! After you eat my watermelons, you’ll forget about him!”

Charlie could not help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Lilly’s chubby face, he could not help but want to pinch her! She was so adorable!

Ivan turned over, and he was also cute… However, that was all.

Charlie thought that way in his heart, but he could not help but look around to see if there was any more strawberry cake.

Lilly ate happily as she tilted her head and looked at Charlie. She suddenly asked, “Mr. Brown, why are you called Chulie?”

Charlie laughed. He took a piece of wet tissue to wipe the cream off Lilly’s mouth like a mother as he said, “It’s Charlie, not Chulie! Cha-a-lee.”

Lilly then asked, “What does Cha-a-lee mean?”

Ivan then said with a serious expression, “It’s the pronunciation.”

Lilly had not been to kindergarten yet, so she did not have much knowledge. She finally understood. “Oh! Pronuciation…” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

When Ivan thought she finally understood, she asked again, “What’s pronunciation?” He was rendered speechless.

Charlie could not help but say, “You’ll understand once you reach elementary school!”

Lilly nodded as she understood what he said. She kept the words “elementary school” in her mind. Ivan must be that clever because he has been to school. Josh too. He knows how much 10 pounds of poop is…because he has been to school. School is amazing!

She raised her hand. “I want to go to school too!”

Charlie replied, “Sure! Why don’t we tell your Uncle Anthony later?”

Lilly nodded. “Mmhm!”

Ivan stayed silent. Seeing that she had finished the cake in her hand, he immediately walked toward the refreshment table again. He had a clear target, to take two pieces of cake back.

The little piece of cake was only half of Lilly’s palm. After eating five of them, Lilly finally touched her tummy and said, “They’re so yummy! I want to follow Uncle Anthony to work every day!”

Charlie joked, “Didn’t you say that you want to go to school?”

Lilly was taken aback, and she looked troubled. Oh, I need to go to school, so how can I go to work?

“Maybe I’ll go to school on weekdays and go to work on weekends?” Lilly thought seriously.

Charlie could not help but laugh. “Lilly is so hardworking!”

They chatted happily.

Seeing that Lilly was there, a few noble ladies walked over and teased Lilly, “Little Missy Crawford, why are you here alone?”

“Little Missy Crawford, do you like eating cake?”

A lady in a silver dress came closer and asked, “Hello, what’s your name?”

Lilly answered, “I’m Lilly Crawford.”

The lady was taken aback. “What?”

Lilly looked at her doubtfully and said “It’s Lil-ly… Craw-ford… Do you understand now? Miss, did you not go to school? Why don’t you know how to pronounce it?”

She looked at the lady sympathetically. This lady is already this big but she has never been to school. How pitiful.

The lady then smiled and said, “Lilly, you’re so cute!”

Unexpectedly, Lilly asked, “Miss, is something stuck in your throat? Did you not swallow your food properly?”

The lady was confused. “What?”

Lilly said with a serious expression, “Miss, your voice sounds weird. It’s unpleasant. Miss, is it because you’re sick that you can’t speak properly?” She was genuinely asking if the lady was sick, and not saying that she was crazy.

The people around them were secretly pleased. They thought that what Lilly said was true.

The lady’s name was Emily Smith, and she always spoke in a high tone, making her sound fake.

Although she was a so-called noble lady, no one knew how she got into the circle of noble ladies. She was only an unknown actor, the first celebrity under Taylor Entertainment.

The truly noble ladies looked down on Emily and thought the way she spoke was disgusting.

At this moment, Jonas, who was in a silver tuxedo and his hair combed up, walked over.

Jonas wore his signature golden-rimmed glasses as usual. With his silky shirt, unbuttoned collar, and shiny silver coat, he looked like a bad guy.

Lilly immediately stuffed the last bite of the cake into her mouth.

Jonas was dumbfounded. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Tsk, what’s Lilly eating?”

Lilly quickly shook her head, “I’m not eating anything.”

Jonas reached out his finger and wiped away the cream on Lilly’s lips. “Little brat, you’ve exposed yourself.”

Lilly widened her eyes and thought, “Oh no, I made a mistake. I must remember to wipe my mouth after eating next time!”

On the other hand, Emily stayed silent and quietly moved closer to Jonas. Her dress was also silver, making her look like a couple with Jonas when they were standing close together.
