Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 114

Lilly patted Josh’s shoulders, “Young man, don’t give up!

“I’m not a young man,” Josh answered dejectedly.

“Kiddo, don’t give up!” Lilly said again.

About an hour later, Old Mrs. Crawford shouted from downstairs, "The food is ready! Come down quickly! Lilly, Drake, Josh, Zachary, Hannah!”

The sound of the children upstairs could be heard.

The one who was running was definitely Lilly. The one who was dilly-dallying was Zachary.

Hannah was doing her homework in her room.

She looked up pitifully, “Daddy, can we eat first?”

Liam was silent as he stood by what he said. He would not allow her to leave for anything unless she had finished her homework.

Hannah was spoiled by Winona. She was already in kindergarten but couldn’t even read a word.

Two of Anthony’s children were top students. Lilly was also smart and clever. Liam felt pressured as a father because one of his children was dim-witted and another one was addicted to video games.

Hannah cried, “I’m only in kindergarten. Why do I have to do homework? Other kids don't need to do that.”

“Don’t compare,” Liam said without any expression. He was impatient from waiting for Hannah to finish her homework.

Hannah wanted to go eat with Lilly.

Liam didn’t budge although he was hungry too. Hannah had no choice but to do her homework while crying.

Meanwhile, Ashley came upstairs with a big bouquet. Her footsteps were light like a spirit.

She passed by Hannah’s room and secretly peeked inside.

After observing for a while, she got bored and moved to another room to set down the flowers. She also took the chance to snoop in the other rooms.

The dining room downstairs was bustling with a lively atmosphere.

The people felt suffocated as they saw the few dishes Blake brought in.

Only the poached chicken was fine as it was the easiest to cook.

Old Mrs. Crawford was disgusted by the omelet as it was runny when she scooped it.

“This… this is..”

“I’ve tasted it, it’s delicious even though it doesn’t look good.”

“Urgh… And this is it?” Old Mrs. Crawford picked up a large piece of gray-coloured food.

“Eggplant,” Blake answered.

Old Mrs. Crawford decided not to dwell on the appearance but…

“Why don’t you cut it?” She asked.

Blake felt strange, “I had cut it.”

I cut it evenly in two halves.

The Crawford family was speechless.

Anthony chuckled and picked up a piece, “It’s pretty good.”

Everyone could get a piece, it’s fair. Hope that Blake can do a better job next time.

Edward stared at the eggplant and muttered, “We must also let Liam have a taste of this delicious eggplant.”

Gilbert kept smiling, “It’s such a pity that other people who were absent missed out on such delicious eggplant. Next time, we must make it again for them."

Blake nodded, "Alright."

Blake said as he stared at her back, "There's something wrong with this gardener."

Old Mrs. Crawford frowned, she also felt that Ashley’s words and actions were particularly strange today.

She personally chose Ashley as their gardener because she had to take care of the mansion’s garden and was responsible for the replacement of the flower bouquets and arrangements. Just like their housekeeper that was responsible for cleaning several master rooms, she chose them because they were very trustworthy.

“Maybe she is not feeling well or something happened to her family. I’ll ask her later.”

During the night, Blake stayed in the guest room.

He looked around at the interior of the room. It had a neutral earthy tone and a few pieces of furniture. It was very much in line with his personality.

One could see that it was deliberately designed.

Blake lay on the sofa and looked at Jean’s photo on his phone.

He whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't have that opportunity to get to know you."

Before she passed away, he heard that she worried about Lilly the most. I will take good care of Lilly no matter what happens in the future.

"Don't worry. You can rest in peace."

Finally, Liam allowed Hannah to leave her room. Her bad habits of being a picky eater were forgotten as she gobbled her food.

After placing her bowl in the dishwasher, she ran upstairs while yelling, “Lilly! Lilly! Let’s play together!”

Lilly poked her head out from her room, “Hannah. I’m here.”

Hannah happily went to her.

However, she saw Lilly took out a book and said, "Uncle Liam had asked me and Josh to supervise your studies."

Hannah turned her direction immediately, “Oh no, I feel so sleepy suddenly. I'm going to take a bath and go to bed."
