Chapter 32 Showing Off His Niece
He cleared his throat and said, “Return her to the jar. Do you still remember the soul-shifting spell, if you don’t…”
Before Pablo could finish his words, Lilly raised her hand and grabbed something from the window.
In no time, the Female Spirit returned to the jar.
Pablo touched his nose subconsciously.
What kind of sorcery is this…
Then, Liam handed over a round glass that contained milk, “Drink it, Lilly.”
Lilly took the glass politely and said, “Thank you, Uncle Liam!”
He grinned at Lilly proudly.
Even though he has two children of his own, he rarely spend time with his children. He admitted that he was not a good father.
He felt guilty when thinking of his own children. He petted Lilly’s head gently and asked mindlessly, “Lilly, do you think I should get a divorce with Aunt Winona?”
Lilly looked at him and asked innocently, “Uncle Liam, why do people marry if they are going to divorce anyway?”
She knew what “divorce” meant. It was a term that was frequently brought up by her father.
At that time she was still too young and did not really understand the meaning of it. However, she finally understood now; to divorce is to marry a new woman.
Lilly did not understand the ways of adults. It was their own decision to marry a person at first, why would they change their mind in the end?
Liam was startled by her question and did not know how to answer her.
He pursed his lips and said softly, “Well, it’s because Aunt Winona was pregnant with Zachary back then.”
Liam knew that it was a conscious choice he made, but the only thing that Liam was upset about was that he had no idea that he was cheated on until after Hannah was born.
At that time, Jean was extremely sick and even went missing. He did not have the right mind to think that much.
Lilly frowned and asked, “Why was Aunt Winona pregnant with Zachary? Do you like Aunt Winona?”
Liam shook his head, “No, I don’t love her… I guess!”
Lilly was silenced by his reply and stared angrily at him.
He was creeped out by her aggressive staring and asked why.
“You don’t love Aunt Winona, but she gave birth to your son, Zachary. Are you the so-called f*ckboy?” Lilly asked with a poker face.
Liam was stunned by the question and did not know what to say, “Uh…”
“It’s fine, Uncle Liam. I understand.” Lilly petted Liam’s back compassionately.
Liam was extremely confused by her instant change in opinion.
Uh, she is a child. What does she know?
Just as he was going to say something, Edward came back from the construction site.
“Lilly, come here, sweet pea!”
Edward stretched his arms and was going to carry Lilly without taking off his safety helmet, not to mention that he was also drenched in sweat.
“Go clean yourself.” Liam slapped away his hands.
Edward ignored Liam and carried Lilly out of the office.
“Lilly, isn’t it too boring here? Let’s go, I’ll bring you to the construction site!” Edward said excitedly.
He did his inspection at the construction site just now. Now that he was done with work, all he wanted was to show her off to his colleagues.
Liam disagreed with him, “It’s too dangerous for kids, and it’s for employees only!”
Edward said playfully, “Our darling is an employee as well. She’s our little CEO!”
“That’s right, I am an employee!” Lilly nodded proudly.
A while ago, Ugly Aunty mentioned that Aunt Winona went to the construction site. Something was hiding in the statue.
She needed to go and find out.
Edward was delighted. He carried Lilly in his arms and greeted everyone along the way, “Yo, this is my niece!”
“My niece is cute, right?”
“This is my niece. Isn’t she so adorable?!”
Lilly covered her face awkwardly. She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed after being praised and adored by so many people!
Her adorable actions made everyone laugh their heart out.
Edward was an easily irritable rough man who had a nasty temper. Surprisingly, he has transformed into a soft-spoken and gentle family man.
Unbelievable!
Edward still has some common sense. He prevented Lilly to enter the building that was under construction. Instead, he brought her to the plaza where the floor tiles have been laid and where the statue was situated.
“This plaza is fully built, and there’s a playground for children. Let’s go there and play!”
He then pointed at the high-rise building in front of them that was under construction, “That building is an office building, and the building beside it that is shaped like a bowl is a shopping mall. There’s even a huge supermarket in the basement. I built all these. Did I do a great job?”
“Great job!” Lilly reassured Edward.
Edward has his ego boosted by Lilly.
Out of the blue, Lilly pointed at the statue located in the middle of the plaza, “Uncle Edward, what is that?”
Edward glanced at the statue and said, “That is a statue of a phoenix, and it is made of stainless steel. Your Uncle Liam designed it.”
Lilly escaped from Edward’s arms and ran towards the statue.
“Don’t run, it is dangerous!” Edward shouted.
“Uncle Edward, do you have a huge hammer? Can you let me see?” Lilly requested.
Edward thought Lilly was genuinely interested in all kinds of tools like him. People used to say that he had a weird hobby. Now that he finally found someone who shared the same interest, he quickly asked a worker to get all kinds of hammers for Lilly.
“Lilly, I can proudly say that I own the most working tools in this country. I have four thousand different hammers!”
Liam rushed to the plaza when he was done with work. He was bewildered when he saw a worker pulling a wagon filled with a variety of hammers to the plaza.
“What are you two doing?”
Lilly raised his head and showed her rosy cheeks, “I’m looking at hammers!” she said excitedly.
Edward squatted in front of Lilly and introduced the tools passionately.
“This is a wooden hammer, and it is used for hammering nails. Whereas this is a stone hammer…this is a flat hammer.”
All the hammers which the worker took were baby-sized so Lilly could hold them.
Liam was speechless.
Lilly was rummaging through the hammers to find the perfect one.
Pablo floated beside Lilly and ordered, “Tulip, take that and crush this statue!”
“But It looks too heavy…”
Pablo smirked, “How do you know it’s heavy when you haven’t tried?”
Seeing that Lilly was touching a big hammer, Edward said excitedly, “This is awesome! It can be used to demolish walls. Its handle is soft so it can bend, and such design is to prevent…”
“Yes, just do it!” Pablo ordered.
“Uncle Edward, please let me borrow your hammer!”
Liam and Edward expected that she could not lift the hammer as they forgot about the incident where she bent the iron railings with her bare hands.
Soon, Lilly swung the big hammer violently and smashed it on the statue repeatedly.
“Bang!”
The bottom part of the statue broke and revealed a big hole. Something mysterious fell from it, followed by a cloud of dust.
Liam and Edward could not believe what they saw.
