Chapter 31 Chased by a Spirit
She ran into Liam’s office and his arms while crying.
“Liam!”
Lilly was showing Liam her drawing when Winona barged into the room.
Liam frowned and stepped back awkwardly.
Winona was going to throw herself into his arms, but when Liam stepped back, she fell face-down on the ground, causing her nose to bleed.
“Liam Crawford, you…!” Winona covered her nose and said angrily.
Employees who walked past peeked into Liam’s office curiously.
Helen took out a napkin quickly and criticized Liam, “Hey, what are you doing? Winona is your wife! How can you let her throw herself on the floor?”
Liam replied harshly, “I’m not into this kind of gimmick.”
Winona felt embarrassed. He made her look like she was seducing him.
However, she had no choice but to keep quiet. She could not let others know that she and Liam were not on good terms. Arguing here at the office will only make the situation worse.
Winona glanced at Lilly and suddenly a drawing on the table caught her eye.
Lilly’s painting showed a portrait of a lady. Although it is not very realistic, it even looks a bit cartoonish…
It somehow reminded her of May Lee who was crushed to death at the construction site five years ago!
Lilly stood up straight on the chair. She glanced at Liam and carefully peeked at Winona.
Winona’s face looked even scarier. The dark cloud covered half of her face and only both of her eyes were revealed. It looked scarier than ghosts and spirits!
Lilly covered her mouth and asked quietly, “Master, what is wrong with Aunt Winona?!”
Pablo shook his head in dismay, “Oh no, did you see that poo on her face? I guess she was slapped by May Lee just now.”
Lilly glanced at her face and mumbled to herself, “No poo! But it’s kind of stinky.”
Winona heard Lilly and Polly murmuring words like “poo” and “stinky”, and she could no longer hold back anymore.
She was so afraid that she forgot her face was covered with poo…
Winona gagged and immediately rushed into the washroom to wash her face.
Liam glanced at Helen coldly and asked, “Why are you here?”
“My dear Liam, please listen to me. You can’t get a divorce with Winona. Zachary and Hannah are already so grown up and you must provide them a loving home…”
“It’s normal for husbands and wives to quarrel…you should spend more time at home…”
“If you are here to talk about this, I guess you can leave now.” Liam sneered.
The divorce agreement letter has already been given to Winona.
It’s her choice whether to sign or not.
However, what was done, was done. Liam was going to get a divorce from her no matter what.
Liam’s face darkened and pushed Helen out of his office without giving her a chance to finish her words.
When Winona came out from the washroom, Liam ruthlessly pushed her to the door and closed the office door with a loud bang.
The employees outside pretended to be busy with work, but actually, some of them took out their smartphones to film them secretly.
Winona’s face turned red, “Liam Crawford, open the door!”
While in the office, Liam pressed a button on the telephone and muttered a few words.
In just a few minutes, two security guards came and sent Winona and Helen out of the building!
Both of them were extremely embarrassed as there were a lot of people staring at them.
“This is too much. I am his mother-in-law. How can he do this to his mother-in-law?!”
Winona felt agitated. Lilly’s drawing sent shivers down her spine.
How did she know about May Lee?
What is she doing here at the construction site…
While Winona was deep in her thought, Helen was still ranting about Liam.
“Mom, go back! I will talk to Liam. You always mess things up!” Winona said irritatedly.
“What do you mean ‘mess things up’?! I do all these because I care about you!” Helen gave her a death stare.
Winona ignored her and walked away.
Soon after more nagging, Helen left the scene as well.
At the back of the construction site, Winona sneakily walked toward the statue. She examined the statue up and down and felt relieved when everything looked normal.
As Winona turned her head, she saw a white plastic bag hanging on a tree.
It even swayed left and right creepily when Winona stared at it.
Winona’s face turned pale. She ran as fast as she could.
“Shoo!”
The white plastic bag was blown by a strong wind and swirled behind Winona like a tornado.
Winona’s mind turned blank. She ran as fast as she could and even lost one of her high heels like Cinderella. Her hair which has always been well-kept has become a total mess.
She was chased by a spirit! She was so afraid that she let out a terrified wail while running, and all the dogs passing by were startled by her.
At the same time, Lilly laid her head in front of a window at the pantry located on the sixteenth floor. She tilted her head in confusion when she saw Winona running across the construction site like a maniac.
The plaza at the construction site has been built, and the ground was paved with floor tiles. There are high-rise buildings under construction not far away.
Lilly mumbled while caressing Polly’s head, “Polly, that person looks like Aunt Winona!’
Polly tilted his head and blinked his eyes, “Gorilla!Gorilla!”
Lilly corrected him, “It’s Aunt Winona, not gorilla!”
Polly said, “Winona, Winona is gorilla!”
“No, Polly. Aunt Winona is not a gorilla.”
“Gorilla!” Polly exclaimed, still tilting his head.
Lilly was speechless.
There were a few office ladies who were watching them while having their lunch.
“Oh my god, that’s so cute! She is talking to the parrot!”
“Whose child is this? I just came back and suddenly there’s a child here.”
“Is this Mr. Crawford’s child?”
One of them pointed at Liam, who was busy making milk formula for Lilly. The adults often have coffee, tea, or even milk tea during breaks. Liam felt that Lilly must drink something as well, so he brought a can of milk formula.
He was like a scientist in the laboratory. He read the instructions carefully, took two scoops of milk formula precisely, and put them in the cup according to the scale.
“Smack!”
Suddenly, a plastic bag smacked itself on the window.
“Hi, Ugly Aunty!” Lilly greeted.
“Hurry up, let me in!” She stuck out her tongue like a dog.
She was suffering in pain due to the sun.
How can you be so inhumane and let me work outside under the sun?
She almost died!
Pablo squinted his eyes as he lay his head lazily on the windowpane, “Calm down. I won’t let you die.”
His words made the female spirit startle.
Lilly raised her head and spoke earnestly, “Master, don’t lie, or else you will get struck by lightning.”
Just as Pablo was about to say something…
“Rumble!”
A small lightning flashed through the blue sky.
Pablo, “…”
