Hugh fell silent, his gaze fixed on the news, as he casually asked, "What are your plans with Lisa'? Would you like to renew the marriage certificate? And perhaps have another wedding?"
Considering Anthony had never been married before, Hugh believed that getting married was a significant life event. If Anthony desired it, he and his wife could organize a wedding for him.
Anthony responded lightly, "No need,"
After a brief pause, he continued, "I will obtain a legal document from her,"
Since her return, she had been fixated on Josh and Drake. She would remain at Crawford Mansion for some time.
She lacked her former intelligence, but having a specific identity could shield her from various troubles.
If she were to awaken in the future and wanted to leave the Crawford family, Anthony could divorce her at any time.
That was the only option available to him at the moment.
Hugh nodded in acknowledgment, saying, "Alright,"
Anthony thought about something and said, "On Lilly's fifth birthday next year, I plan to take her to Saffron Island,"
Hugh quickly responded, "Why are you taking her there? Don't you think we wanna go as well?"
Anthony replied quietly, "I didn't say that. We'll go together,"
Relieved, Hugh resumed watching the news.
Time seemed to pass swiftly as if it were only yesterday that the little one had returned to Crawford Mansion, yet she was going to be five years old.
It felt like she was just three years old when she came into their lives...
Lost in his thoughts, Hugh heard a distinct sound. Anthony and Hugh looked up, their hearts skipped a beat.
Standing on the stairs was a pale, rigid woman with long, straight black hair, her gaze fixed directly upon them.
Anyone would be scared if they saw her like this!
Hugh managed to regain his composure, although a lingering sense of unease still crept within his heart.
Birds sleep and wake up early. Polly must have awakened and was probably playing on the balcony of the second floor.
Suddenly, Polly realized someone was talking about it.
It sounds like Bettany...
With a swift flutter, Polly darted back to its room in the tropical rainforest, holding the net door of his iron cage in his beak, securing it shut. As if still feeling uneasy, he fetched a small wooden stick and placed it in front of the net gate.
Lilly was roused by the commotion. Having gone to bed early the night before, she had already had enough sleep and promptly got up. She looked around in a daze, feeling a chill in the air. Hurriedly, she wrapped herself in a small blanket and curled up on the bed like a little caterpillar.
"It's so cold!" Lilly looked out the window, "Isn't the sun out today?"
After sitting there for a while, Lilly threw off the blanket and swiftly made her way to the closet to put on her clothes and pants. She hurriedly washed up and felt a little hungry.
"Hey, where's Polly?" Before leaving the room, Lilly suddenly realized that something was amiss today. Normally, when she woke up, Polly would come over and talk to her." Why was there no sign of the bird today?
From a distance, Polly's voice called out, "It's too cold! Come and chat with me under the covers!"
