Chapter 391 Uncle Anthony’s Surprise
Edward and Liam woke up when Lilly was finishing her breakfast.
As the supervisor, Edward had to inspect the construction site last night.
On the other hand, Liam visited Zachary in the hospital last night. He returned home not long ago, and he went downstairs to take a shower.
Gilbert had an urgent case in the hospital’s emergency department last night, which made him wake up.
late.
Out of eight siblings, five of them gathered together.
“Uncle Anthony, are you not heading to the office?” Lilly asked.
Anthony was sitting on the couch, attending to his matters. His legs were crossed, and his black suit exuded a cold air.
Anthony replied, “I have a business trip later, so I won’t be going to the office in the morning.”
Lilly tilted her head. Polly, which perched on top of Lilly’s head, followed suit. The two adorable creatures looked at Anthony curiously.
Lilly asked, “Uncle Anthony, where are you going? Will you return home tonight?”
Anthony turned off the tablet. He lifted the approaching Lilly onto his lap. His cold voice carried a hint of warmth as he spoke, “Not so soon. It may take about two weeks.”
Lilly was surprised, “That’s quite a long time! What are you planning to do?”
Anthony chuckled, “That’s a company secret.”
Anthony would be negotiating a contract to purchase an island to establish an amusement park, and he wanted to keep it a secret from Lilly.
Anthony planned to give Lilly the island as a gift on her fifth birthday.
Lilly promptly covered her mouth, and she nodded earnestly, “I understand. I will stop asking!”
It’s a secret. I have to treat it seriously.
Polly nodded along, “No more questions. We should not ask!”
Anthony found Lilly’s and Polly’s reactions amusing.
Bettany started nagging, “What time is it? Your sister hasn’t gotten up. School starts in a couple of days. I’m worried about how she is going to manage.”
“Lilly, can you go wake up your sister? D&R’s product manager will be visiting us with some clothes. You and your sister should choose a few new outfits for the upcoming school year.”
Lilly slipped out of Anthony’s arms. She ran upstairs, saying, “Okay!”
Hannah slept soundly in her room. She was hugging a pillow, with one leg hanging off the edge of the bed, touching the floor. The other leg rested on top of a blanket.

Polly blinked its eyes, and it imitated a famous voice line from the internet, “It’s a look that can slay a dragon!”
Lilly nudged Hannah and said, “Hannah, how did you sleep like this? You almost fell onto the floor!”
Hannah groggily opened her eyes. The annoyance of waking up vanished the moment she saw Lilly.
Hannah complained, “I had to pee urgently… I was about to get up and go to the bathroom… I kept searching for a restroom in my dream… Then, I woke up.
After waking up, Hannah wanted to visit the bathroom. However, she quickly forgot about it after reaching one leg out of the bed.
In the end, Hannah fell asleep soundly.
Hannah sat up from the bed, and she blurted, “I need to go now. I can’t hold it anymore!”
As Hannah spoke, she covered her buttocks when she shed to the bathroom.
Lilly was puzzled, “If she is about to pee, why is she holding her buttocks?”
Polly tilted its head, “Are you supposed to hold your mouth?”
Lilly simply did not know how to respond to that.
After waking Hannah, Lilly was about to look for Josh, but Blake shouted from downstairs, “Lilly”
Lilly’s eyes lit up, “Daddy, I’m here!”
Lilly ran down the stairs. When she was two steps away from reaching downstairs, she leaped into the air, and Blake caught her perfectly.
Lilly laughed happily, and she asked, “Daddy, can you catch me if I jump straight down from the second floor next time?”
Blake responded, “Of course, I can catch you even if you jump down from the tenth floor.”
Bettany cleared her throat.
Blake quickly shifted his tone, “However, that’s dangerous. We cannot do that.”
Lilly replied, “Alright.”
Blake told Lilly he had captured the bald man, revealing what he had learned during the interrogation.
Blake had confirmed that the blad man stuck the paper figure on Bryson, He was also the culprit who placed the ghost bride in the haunted house. However his objective remained unclear.
Regarding why the ghost bride obeyed the bald man, Blake could inquire about it later.
Blake asked, “Where is your master?”
Lilly shook her head, “Master told me that he needed to be away for a long while, but he reassured me that I could call him in an urgent situation.”
Blake was baffled, “How do you give him a call?”
2/4
Lilly whispered into Blake’s cars, “I can call Master by burning the talisman!”
Blake thought to himself. This phone call is cutting-edge. want to learn how to do that too!
After Hannah finished her breakfast, it was already 10.00 am. The guards at the entrance notified that the product manager from D&R had arrived. Bettany gave permission to let the product manager in.
Anthony glanced at the time, and he realized it was time to leave the house.
“Lilly, Uncle Anthony will be leaving first. Behave well when school starts, and listen to grandma.” Anthony
instructed.
Anthony’s business trip would take around two weeks.
It would take two weeks before Anthony got to see Lilly again. Anthony felt a sense of reluctance in his heart for the first time.
Without batting an eye, Josh said, “Dad, it’s time for you to leave! My brother and I have never seen you act like this.”
Drake replied indifferently, “Mr. Anthony, remember to file for reimbursement.”
Anthony was left speechless by their response.
That was why Anthony always preferred having a daughter!
Lilly reached out her hand, “Give me a hug, Uncle Anthony!”
Anthony bent down, and Lilly kissed his cheek. Then, Lilly instructed like a grown-up, “Be careful. Eat on time, and go to bed at 10.00 pm! Don’t wander around with strangers!”
Lilly’s actions amused everyone.
Anthony smiled, and he kissed Lilly’s forehead, “Alright I got it.”
Anthony grabbed his briefcase. He adjusted his tie before leaving through the door.
When the D&R’s product manager entered the house with two large suitcases, she happened to encounter Anthony.
Anthony’s face had a hint of affection, contrasting strongly with his cold and reserved demeanor.
A single glance at Anthony left the D&R’s product manager in awe.
He is the CEO of the Crawford’s Holdings, Anthony!
I can only catch a glimpse of Anthony on financial news sometimes, but I never thought he would be even more handsome in person than on TV…
The product manager was stunned….
Anthony glanced at the product manager coldly before walking past her.
Lilly’s cute voice sounded behind Anthony, “Goodbye, Uncle Anthony!”
Anthony turned around to wave his hand before getting into the car.
3/4
The D&R’s product manager finally snapped out of it, feeling frustrated for being taken aback just now.
Mr. Anthony walked past her closely, presenting an excellent opportunity for her!
However, she was so distracted that she forgot to stick the talisman on him.
She missed this opportunity, and she might not have another chance to meet Anthony up close like this…
The product manager regretted it deeply. However, she quickly recovered, and she said smilingly to Lilly, “Hi, are you Little Miss Crawford? I’m the product manager of D&R. My name is Maryn Kamily.”
Lilly was confused.
Lilly glanced at Maryn Kamily and thought to herself. What a weird name!
Her name doesn’t sound local at all.
Her name is Maryn, but why does Kamily sound odd?
Is she looking for my help?
Lilly thought carefully before asking, “Why are you called Kamily? It sounds weird.”
Polly added, “Scary Kamily!”
Maryn’s face froze.
This brat from the Crawford family is rude!
I heard she was brought back from the countryside. That seems to be true since she lacks the common knowledge of a common foreign name like Kamily.
The elegance of a young lady from a prestigious family is ingrained in her bones, but it’s evident that Little Miss Crawford doesn’t possess it…
