Lilly shook her head. She found the adult world to be strange. She wondered why Rebecca couldn’t reject them if she didn’t like them. After all, happiness was the most important thing. Why did Rebecca force herself?
Josh, who was more logical, asked curiously, “Since they’re your husband’s relatives, why didn’t he bring them himself?”
Rebecca replied angrily, “He said he was going fishing and didn’t have time to come!”
The four children were stunned. Going fishing? Fishing isn’t a job! If he’s not busy with work, why can’t he come?
Hannah frowned. “You shouldn’t have come either! Don’t let him take advantage of you!”
Granny said not to let others take advantage of me even if I don’t eat. Eventually, I’ll learn to eat well.
Rebecca sighed and shook her head. “Forget it. I don’t want to argue with him. I still have work to do. Arguing too much will affect my mood, and I can’t work peacefully. In our family, I’m the one earning money. If I can’t do my job, I won’t have any money. So I don’t want to fight.”
The children were speechless. It turned out Rebecca still had to work. They found the logic strange. In their view, those who worked should focus on their work, while those who didn’t work took care of other things.
Lilly asked, “So you’re not going to work today?”
Rebecca shook her head. “I’m a novelist. I have a flexible schedule, and I can work at night.”
Drake was speechless.
He had assumed Rebecca was a housewife while her husband worked to earn money. Therefore, even if she was unhappy, she should bring her husband’s relatives out to play. He didn’t expect that she was the one supporting the family financially. He couldn’t understand why she felt so aggrieved when she had a valid reason to refuse her husband’s relatives.
Just then, Lydia approached with Nicole. When she saw Lilly and the others, she immediately snorted. “What bad luck to run into you all again!”
She glanced around and noticed that all the chairs in the rest area were occupied.
Initially, Josh was seated on Lilly’s left, but after the switch, Lilly and Rebecca sat together with a gap between them.
Lydia called out to Lilly, “Hey, move over! We want to sit here!”
Lilly promptly declined, “Sorry, my siblings are sitting on the other side. I can’t move.”
Lydia stared at Lilly. “Kids only take up a small amount of space. You can sit on the other side!”
Hannah frowned. “No, we won’t let you sit!”
Josh crossed his arms and sneered. “Are you the queen? Do you think we’ll obey your orders?”
Lilly nodded emphatically and echoed, “Yes, we won’t let you sit! Even if I get up, there won’t be enough space for you to sit!”
The horizontal chair in the rest area could only accommodate a few people. Even if she moved, Lydia still wouldn’t be able to fit in.
Lydia was infuriated. She continued to curse and complain, “What a group of impolite kids! I wonder how your parents raised all of you!”
Anthony, who had just returned with the popcorn, overheard this. His expression instantly turned gloomy. “I love them dearly. Any objections?”
Lydia usually picked on the weaker ones, but she trembled when she looked at Anthony in his suit. He looked elegant, and his eyes were piercingly sharp.
So Lydia could only complain to Rebecca, “Look at the terrible place you brought us to! You said it’s the best amusement park in Clodston. There isn’t even a place to sit!”
Rebecca sighed, stood up, and said, “Aunt Lydia, you sit with Nicole. Let’s stop arguing…”
Lydia took Nicole and turned around. “No! I don’t want to sit here! What terrible luck to meet…”
Anthony ignored Lydia and sat beside the children, crossing his legs.
He held the popcorn and stretched out one hand to rest on the back of the chair, invisibly protecting the children in his arms.
“Leave if you don’t want to sit!” Anthony said coldly, “If I see you again, you won’t be allowed to stay in this amusement park.” He was overbearing and unreasonable.
Lydia didn’t dare to argue.
She snorted and angrily led Nicole away, muttering, “Bah! Rude parents teach rude kids! The wealthy are all arrogant! People in big cities have no manners…”
Rebecca hurriedly apologized to Anthony. After helplessly resolving the situation, she chased after Lydia while saying, “Enough,
Aunt Lydia. Please talk less.”
Lydia snorted while Nicole shouted, “I want juice!”
Rebecca replied, “I’ll buy it later.”
Nicole kept yelling, “I want it now!”
Lilly watched Rebecca patiently waiting in line to buy juice and suddenly sighed, “Oh, she’s so unlucky!”
Master said that is a weak spirit. I wonder if Aunt Rebecca will become as brave as Superman after I capture the ghost behind her. Then, will she reject what she doesn’t like?
Anthony couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Lilly frowning cutely and pondering like an adult.
“Eat the popcorn.” He paused, then emphasized, “Don’t tell your grandma when we go home.”
Popcorn was sweet, especially the popcorn from outside. Bettany thought it must have added chemicals. What she made at home was healthy, but no matter how good it was outside, it was junk food. That was Bettany’s logic.
Lilly took the popcorn and put it in her mouth. She nodded while eating. “Hmm, I won’t say anything!”
Drake squinted at the bucket of popcorn and said flatly, “Daddy, you’re teaching Lilly bad habits.”
Anthony responded, “Shut up.” What if I get scolded again when I go back? I can only ask Lilly to keep it a secret.
Lilly said, “Drake, don’t worry! I won’t go bad!”
Drake was speechless.
After the children finished eating the popcorn and drinking the juice, it was already 5:00 pm.
Anthony looked at his watch. “It’s time to go back.”
Lilly raised her hand. “Uncle Anthony, I need to go to the bathroom.”
Hannah immediately said, “Me too!”
Josh stood up. “I’ll go too.”
Drake finally couldn’t help but roll his eyes gracefully. Why does Josh even follow them to the bathroom?
Lilly and Hannah ran ahead while holding hands.
Josh murmured to himself. Why can girls hold hands when going to the bathroom, but boys can’t?
Josh looked at Drake, who was walking behind.
Drake immediately said, “Don’t even think about it!”
Josh nodded. Well, it would be weird for boys to go to the bathroom hand in hand.
Lilly and Hannah entered the bathroom. Soon, Lilly came out and asked through the door, “Hannah, are you done?”
Hannah answered, “I’m pooping now.”
Lilly asked again, “Hmm? You said you were peeing earlier!”
Hannah replied, “Yes, I did. But I couldn’t hold it.”
Lilly was speechless.
Hannah shouted, “Don’t leave! Wait for me!”
Lilly stood there for a few seconds. Hannah stinks! What should I do?
Lilly rummaged through her small backpack to find a mask and put it on. It still stinks.
