The two of them took a big bite of the ice cream and then gasped from the coldness.
Pablo, “…”
Blake, “…”
Gemma felt genuine happiness seeing Lilly’s adorable expressions. Finally, she wasn’t considered her daughter anymore. Gemma thought that if she kept being called a mother by a little girl, she wouldn’t be able to pursue her secret crush anymore.
Unable to resist, Gemma pinched Lilly’s little face and said, “From now on, you will be my sister. Come on, call me sister!”
Lilly happily exclaimed, “Sister!”
Gemma responded happily, “Hey!”
Pablo interjected, “Hey, hello…”
Is it too rushed?
Don’t you two even know each other’s names?
Pablo was about to say something when suddenly Lilly pointed at Blake.
“Sister, this is my father. If you are my sister, then my father is your father, right? Sister, call him father!”
Gemma accidentally spat out a mouthful of ice cream.
The corner of Blake’s mouth twitched. There was no need for that!
Gemma looked at Blake and said, “Hello, hello, um… big, big brother?”
Before Blake could speak, Hannah loudly exclaimed, “No! You can’t call him brother! You have to call him daddy!”
“Father’s father is grandpa, father’s sister is aunt, and sister’s father is daddy!”
Lilly added, “That’s right!”
Gemma thought, ‘This is outrageous.’
She had casually adopted a little sister, so why did she end up adopting a father for herself?
Lilly suddenly frowned again, “No, no, my sister wasn’t born from my father, so she can’t call him daddy!”
Pablo was speechless as he watched the two adults and the little girls lost in thought…
He looked at Jean and said in a deep voice, “Jean?”
Jean responded instinctively, “Yes?”
Pablo tried to remind her of their secret code,
“Remember? Invincible from the mother’s womb?”
Jean didn’t respond. He tried again, “Invincible from the fertilized egg?”
Jean, “…”
Was this man perverted?
She moved away from Pablo with a disgusted look on her face.
Pablo, “…”
Well, a while ago, she was desperate to retain her memories during the soul transmigration, but now she completely forgot about it…
At that moment, Blake’s phone rang, and he picked it up, holding the handset a little away from his ear.
Old Mrs. Crawford’s voice came from the receiver, “Blake! Where did you take Lilly and Hannah?”
Jean suddenly froze when she heard Old Mrs. Crawford’s voice.
This voice…
Why did she find it so familiar?
Blake innocently touched his nose and replied, “Technically, it’s not an abduction…”
Old Mrs. Crawford was anxious, “Did you take them for ice cream again?!”
Blake responded, “You can’t say it’s ‘again’…”
Seriously, it was Hannah’s first time eating ice cream, so how can I answer yes.
Old Mrs. Crawford snorted, “You have 30 minutes to bring them back!”
Blake was about to agree, but Old Mrs. Crawford quickly added, “Forget it, I’ll give you an hour. And I warn you not to drive too recklessly…”
Blake raised his eyebrows lazily, “Don’t worry.”
After hanging up the phone, Blake said, “Hold on tight!”
Lilly hurriedly exclaimed, “Wait! I haven’t finished eating my ice cream…”
Hannah also chimed in, her mouth stained red from eating, “Wait, I still have a little bit left…”
Lilly held up her cup and said, “Father, why don’t you take a bite…”
Thinking of Grandma, both Lilly and Hannah became nervous.
Blake smiled and said, “Eat slowly. We’ll just get rid of the evidence before we get home.”
The two little girls immediately nodded.
Ten minutes later.
Blake’s off-road vehicle had already arrived at the outskirts of the Crawford Mansion. Lilly lay behind the driver’s seat and nervously said, “Daddy, Daddy, get rid of the evidence!”
Blake responded, “Oh, I almost forgot.”
He parked the car in front of a nearby trash can and was about to ask Lilly and Hannah to give him their empty ice cream cups.
Lilly looked around anxiously and nervously asked, “Daddy, what were we supposed to do? How do we get rid of the evidence?”
Lilly was nervous, as if she was about to do something big.
Blake chuckled and explained, “Getting rid of the evidence means throwing away the trash before we get home, so Grandma won’t find out…”
Lilly understood and got out of the car with Hannah. Gemma, who was worried, followed them.
When they looked up, they saw that the sun had already set, and the river in the distance was bathed in the beautiful red glow of the sunset.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful…” Gemma couldn’t help but admire.
Jean, who was leaning against the car window, looked at the scenery in front of her with a dazed expression. It felt familiar, as if she had walked this path many times in her previous life…
As the car got closer and closer to the
Crawford Mansion, Jean couldn’t explain why, but she started feeling nervous for no apparent reason.
At the entrance of Crawford Mansion, elderly Mrs. Crawford sat in a wheelchair, resembling a mother eagerly awaiting the return of her children.
The sunset’s glow cast a soft light on her silver hair, evoking a sense of inexplicable sadness and loneliness.
Jean gazed at Mrs. Crawford, a vague memory on the verge of surfacing, causing her head to throb…
