Filed To Story: A Little Princess's Journey from Darkness to Light Novel
He wanted to take her to the gravestones of her grandfather and parents, then told them to rest a*sured.
He had a family now. He had a child and would never be alone for the rest of his life, and he also had concerns.
If he went through the process of the Crawford family, he must at least pa*s the test first. In short, it would take several days. So he could only take Lilly away without prior notice.
Blake looked slightly relaxed. He looked at Lilly beside him and reminded her, “Sit well.”
Upon hearing that, Layton asked anxiously, “Mr. MacNeil, did you let Little Miss sit in the pa*senger seat?”
“Yes.”
Lilly could only sit in the pa*senger seat. After all, he did not have a child seat in the car. If she sat in the back seat, he would become uneasy when he could not see her. Besides, someone died in the back seat before. So he would not let his lovely daughter sit in the back.
Layton’s mouth twitched. It means I must be ready to pay the fine anytime!
After hanging up the phone, Layton took a deep breath, smiled, and said to Anthony, “I’m sorry, Mr. Anthony. Although Mr. MacNeil often does things out of common sense, he never does things out of proportion.”
Otherwise, such a rebellious person would not be willing to fight for the country.
“Mr. MacNeil said he’ll bring Little Miss home tomorrow. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to Little Miss.”
Even if Blake lost his life, he would not let anyone hurt Lilly.
Anthony snorted coldly. He got into the car and left gloomily.
Charlie asked Anthony in doubt, “Uh, Mr. Anthony, are you going back?”
Anthony pressed his brows. He knew he would get scolded by Hugh and Bettany if he returned without bringing Lilly home.
“Back to the company. Work overtime.”
Charlie was speechless. Well, no one can go to sleep tonight.
…
The black SUV pa*sed through the city and drove into a quaint Victorian villa.
The villa imitated the architectural style of the old era, with blue-gray brick walls and tile roofs. Most of the beams, doors, and windows were natural-colored, which looked elegant. It looked graceful, rigorous, beautiful, and different from Blake’s temperament.
Blake left the car, opened the pa*senger’s door, and picked Lilly up. He also picked up Erick’s medal of honor.
Lilly lay on Blake’s shoulder and looked at the looming white shadow that followed them. A female ghost held her head. Her red nails were long, and her eyes moved blankly. She stared straight at Lilly.
Lilly was not afraid, but Pablo was not there, so she could not recognize the type of that ghost in front of her.
“Mr. MacNeil!” When they entered the door, a man in a dark gray suit bowed and greeted them.
Blake handed the medal of honor to the man. “Hang it up at the main hall.”
“Yes, Sir.” The man in the gray suit responded and went in with the medal of honor.
On the way, Lilly saw many people in gray suits on duty at night.
Lilly’s eyes widened as if she had stepped into a TV show. Blake was like a president, and those who wore gray suits were like bodyguards.
Seeing Lilly’s puzzled eyes, Blake rubbed her little head.
“This is our home,” Blake said, “Lilly, we’re home.”
They were home.
Lilly looked around. Although she felt a little quiet, she somehow had an inexplicable resonance.
The Crawford family was her home, and the MacNeil villa was the same. But she had another feeling here because she had seen it in the dream. It was just that the scene in the dream was vague. Now that she looked at the MacNeil villa again, she felt a sense of intimacy.
Blake took Lilly straight to the graveyard and stopped at the entrance.
“Your grandpa, grandma, and great-grandpa are here.” Blake asked softly, “Lilly, do you want to give them flowers and salute?”
Blake looked at Lilly. Seeing her look at the graveyard, he felt his heart tighten inexplicably. What if she doesn’t want to?
Unexpectedly, Lilly responded, “Okay!”
Grandpa Hugh said Daddy and Great-Grandpa are great patron saints and deserve everyone’s respect. So I should also respect them. Although I don’t know them now, it doesn’t matter. I’ll know them in the future.
Lilly said firmly, “Give flowers to Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, and Grandma.”
Blake’s throat was slightly astringent, and his voice was hoarse. “Okay, good girl.”
He walked into the graveyard steadily, then suddenly thought of something. He said, “Lilly, you haven’t called me Daddy yet.”
This cutie was first called Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, and Grandma, not Daddy.
Lilly stared at the door frame without answering.
Blake asked strangely, “Lilly?”
Lilly looked at him and blinked, then finally called firmly, “Daddy!”
Hearing that, Blake was so glad and excited that he accidentally hit his head on the door frame.
The men on duty in the dark were stunned to see that scene.
Lilly seemed to have prepared. She instantly lay on Blake’s shoulders and unscathed. She glanced at the door frame, then at Blake’s head.
Wow, Long Legs Daddy is really tall! He hit the door frame! Hit it again!
Blake groaned in pain. F*ck, why did I bump into the door frame?
His height was 194 cm. Although the graveyard’s entrance was a bit low, it did not make sense. He had not hit it before.
Lilly’s reflexes are so quick! Before I could react, she dodged it.
When he thought about Lilly with praises, he suddenly heard her whisper, “Hit it again!”
Blake was in doubt.
Lilly quickly covered her mouth. Oh, why did I say what I thought in my heart?
Blake asked, “What did you say?”
Lilly waved quickly. “I didn’t say anything. It was the door frame.”
Blake could not help but smile slightly. Little smart girl!
Blake put Lilly down and led her to the three gravestones. He gave Lilly three flowers and held three for himself.
Blake did not kneel to anyone except his parents and grandpa. He knelt and saluted without any hesitation.
He smiled and said, “Grandpa, do you know who she is? She is my cute and beautiful daughter!”
After so many years, the hardest thing for Blake to let go of was Erick’s death. He looked back, and Erick looked at him too. Erick was full of blood. They knew they would separate forever but did not have time to say anything.
“Come on, Lilly, greet your great-grandpa.”
Lilly imitated Blake, knelt on the ground, and shouted, “Great-Grandpa!”
Blake’s throat was slightly astringent, and he said again, “And also your grandpa and grandma.”
Lilly shouted again, “Grandpa! Grandma!” After that, she imitated Blake to salute but accidentally hit her head on the ground.
“Ouch!” Lilly hastily reached out to cover her forehead and held the three flowers firmly.
Blake quickly picked her up. “Are you all right?”
As a result, Lilly’s forehead turned reddish. Not only was it red, but it also looked a little swollen.
Blake was speechless for a while. After they gave flowers, they left the graveyard.
“Does it still hurt?” Blake touched her forehead gently.
Lilly covered her forehead. She did not feel any pain just now. Now it hurt.
Blake ordered his men to get the medicated ointment while Lilly stared at the yard. The female ghost failed to enter the graveyard but still stood outside.
A place like a graveyard was like someone else’s territory. Some ordinary ghosts would go in to get some tributes but generally avoid it. In addition, Erick was buried in this graveyard with merit blessings, and other spirits could not offend him.
Following Lilly’s sight, Blake looked under a tree in the yard and asked, “What are you looking at?”
The yard was dark, and nothing was interesting there.
Lilly hesitated, then asked, “Daddy, have you been looking for a woman outside?”
Blake was startled to hear that. “What?”
What did she mean? Am I that kind of person? Wait, what did the Crawford family teach her?
Blake frowned and answered, “I haven’t looked for a woman before, and I don’t have any women now. I won’t look for a woman in the future.”
Lilly pondered, then asked again, “Then how was I born?”
Blake felt embarra*sed. “Your mommy… doesn’t count.”
Lilly was still curious and asked, “Why?”
“Uh… that was an accident.”
“So I was in an accident too? So you don’t like Mommy? Then why did you have an accident with Mommy?”
Blake quickly changed the topic. “Lilly, want some ice cream?”
Lilly’s eyes sparkled. “Yes!”
