Chapter 1023 Love is all
Little Alis was subdued by his father with one hand, without any resistance.
Anthony carried the kid and walked all the way to the entrance of the ancestral hall, just in time to meet the eyes of Lyra and Malcolm.
The two sides looked at each other and smiled, which was both polite and friendly.
Molly kept her eyes on little Alis and reached out to Anthony, "Can I hug Alis? He's so cute."
Anthony was always the gentlest to her, so he bent down slowly, and sent his son to Molly, "He is a little fat. If you feel him heavy, just hold him and let him walk by himself."
"Okay!"
Molly hugged Alis carefully. She was sent to the army by Malcolm for training, so Alis was as light as a piece of cake in her eyes.
"Alis, I'm your sister Molly."
With her immature voice, she taught Alis how to say her name, and she liked Alis' chubby, fair and tender face very much.
The main reason was that his blue pupils were exactly the same as Anthony's, big and round, like the sea of stars, so beautiful.
Little Alis stretched out his chubby hands, put his arms around Molly's neck, and cheered, "Si!"
"It's not si, it's sister. I'm your sister."
"Si... si..."
Molly was speechless. Why did it sound like a bird?
Beside, several adults laughed.
Lyra said, "Molly, Alis is already very good. When you were one year old, you were not as good at talking as he is."
Anthony answered, "It's nothing to be proud of. I guess he'll talk more when he grows up, chattering all day long. It'll hurts my ears."
"Be patient when bringing up your son. He just wants to express his thoughts to you. Alis has a lively temper, which is a good thing."
Anthony smiled. "You're right."
Malcolm said nothing, holding Spencer's hand by his side.
Compared with the harmony between Molly and little Alis, Spencer's secretly unhappy expression seemed a bit out of place.
He complained in a low voice, "Alis knows how to get close to little girls at such a young age, and takes advantages of little girls. He has a lot of scheming, probably the same as you when you were young."
Anthony's face froze, and he turned to look at Alis in Molly's arms.
Little Alis hugged Molly's neck tightly, with his little head nestled in Molly's neck, and he was bubbling with his immature voice.
He was expressing his love for Molly in his own way.
He had raised his son himself for a year, and this was the first time for Anthony to see Alis express his love to outsiders like this, just like when he first saw Lyra when he was a child, and he unconsciously wanted to get close to her and liked her.
He was really... similar to him, and he had similar preferences when he was a child.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Malcolm at the side.
But he saw Malcolm frowning handsomely, as unhappy as Spencer.
Malcolm wanted to go forward to take his daughter back, but was stopped by Lyra, "Alis is only one year old. He doesn't understand anything. He just likes Molly and won't hide it, and Molly seems to like him very much. He's just a child. Let them go."
He was indeed too young.
Malcolm was not an unreasonable person, "Let them go."
Lyra took Malcolm's arm, smiled at him, and said to Molly, "Molly, if you can't hold him anymore, don't force yourself and let Alis fall down."
Anthony lightly narrowed his eyes, walked up to Molly and squatted down, saying softly, "If you think Alis is heavy, give him to me. I don't want to tire you."
Both were caring for each other's child.
Spencer silently rolled his arrogant and cold eyes, and said impatiently, "Isn't it time for Alis to draw lots? Should he go or not?"
Several people then shifted positions and went to the front yard.
Molly hugged little Alis and didn't want to put him down, "Why are you so light? You're not as heavy as the props I use for training in the army."
Little Alis rubbed his cheek against her neck, "Si~"
"You are as light as a piece of tofu, and as fair as a piece of tofu, then I will call you milk tofu from now on."
The two little ones walked in front, and the three adults and Spencer followed behind.
When they arrived at the front yard of Callahan Residence, Paloma had already set up the scene.
A small red carpet was filled with all kinds of exquisite items, such as a book, pen and ink, calculator, coin, milk bottle, camera, etc., scattered around.
Under Lyra and Anthony's instructions, Molly placed little Alis in the middle of the red carpet.
Little Alis grabbed the necklace around Molly's neck, accidentally tore it off, and it was pinched tightly by him.
Surrounded by relatives of the Callahan family, it was so lively that Molly didn't notice that the necklace around her neck was gone.
The activity began.
Rebecca, Timothy and Paloma squatted in the corner of the red carpet, attracting Alis' attention with small items on the red carpet.
Alis was lying on the red carpet, giggling and slowly crawling towards Paloma.
Anthony noticed that Paloma was holding a calculator and couldn't help but be satisfied.
However, little Alis suddenly stopped halfway and there were many disturbing sounds around him. He blinked his blue eyes, and was dazed and confused.
Facing everyone's gaze, he got up and sat down on the spot, without grabbing anything but happily playing with Molly's necklace.
As if noticing the gaze of his father next to him, he raised the necklace and waved it at Anthony.
The elders in the surrounding circle looked at each other and joked with a smile, "It seems that our little Alis has taken a fancy to the little necklace of the little princess of the Lloyd family."
Spencer laughed and discouraged them. "He is clearly choosing Molly. I remember that according to the rules of the lot, Molly should be regarded as a beauty. It seems that Alis will think 'love is all' or a pervert in the future."
Hmm...
The atmosphere at the scene was awkward for a while, and Anthony's complexion was not very good, and he was not very happy.
Spencer frowned, happy to see Anthony deflated in public.
In the awkward atmosphere, Lyra took the lead and said with a smile, "The first-year-old lot is just for fun. Alis is so young. He doesn't understand at all. Who knows what will happen when he grows up, and maybe Alis thinks Molly's necklace looks good."
Paloma echoed, "That's right. The necklace is really beautiful. Little Alis can't put it down just holding it."
He even lifted it up and waved it, showing off to Anthony.
On one knew if he was showing off the necklace or the person.
A farce was over. Anthony took the necklace from Alis' hand with a sullen face, and squatted down to help Molly put it on.
Molly didn't care. "Anthony, milk tofu likes this, so give it to him."
"No."
While helping her to fasten the necklace, Anthony explained, "Alis likes if so I can buy it for him, but what belongs to you is yours, and no one can take it away."
Molly was very happy, "So in your heart, when you have Alis, is there still a place for me?"
Anthony curled his lips and smiled, "Of course."
"You're so nice~"
Anthony gently touched her little cheek with his fingertips, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Lyra saw it, and interrupted the harmonious atmosphere between them, "Little Alis is one year old, so I have prepared a special gift."
She glanced at Malcolm.
Malcolm quickly took out a small gift box from his trousers pocket.
When it was opened, it was a small red rope with beautiful lines, on which there was a jade the size of a little finger, and its shape was like a bird.
The red rope was made by a very common material, but it was woven with great care, and the bird jade pendant was also very beautiful.
When he saw the jade pendant clearly, Anthony's eyes trembled, and his face turned pale.
