Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 58

Lilly looked at Ivan curiously. The way Ivan walks is so weird, and he just looks straight ahead after sitting down.

She shook her head. "Sigh, he's like an adult even though he's still young." Recently, people had been saying that she did not act her age, so she imitated them.

Ivan pursed his lips and suddenly stretched out his hand. "This is for you."

Lilly lowered her head to take a glance and saw a fruit candy lying in his palm. The transparent wrapping showed the pink candy inside. It seemed like it was strawberry flavor.

She asked, "Is it for me?"

Ivan nodded.

Lilly asked again, "You only have one, so did you specially prepare it for me?" She thought that it was better to properly ask.

There were two of them, so one piece of candy was not enough. What if Ivan cried after she ate it?

Ivan turned away coldly and said, "Of course not. I just took it at the entrance."

After confirming that Ivan did not want to eat it, Lilly picked up the candy with a swift movement. She even glanced to the side secretly. Uncle Anthony and Mr. Shaw are still talking.

Seeing that the adults were not paying attention, Lilly quickly unwrapped the candy and ate it. After that, she sat upright and put her hands on her knees, looking straight ahead.

Ivan looked at his palm. When Lilly was picking up the candy just now, her fingers touched his palm. It felt like his tortoise at home touching his hand…

"Is it good?" Ivan asked.

Lilly nodded. "It is! Shh… Don't talk."

If her Uncle Anthony found out, he would not let her eat it.

Ivan looked straight ahead and stayed silent for a moment. He soon could not help but ask, "Are you afraid of your Uncle Anthony?"

Lilly chewed the candy and said, "Of course not… It's just that I had a cavity, so Uncle Anthony and Grandma don't allow me to eat candies."

Ivan said, "Then you shouldn't eat them." If he had known, he would not have given her the candy.

Lilly immediately covered her mouth. "It has already entered my mouth, so I'm not spitting it out."

Ivan's mouth twitched as he said, "You shouldn't spit it out." How could she spit it out?

Lilly nodded. "Mmhm! I won't spit it out since I've eaten it! The candy is sweet, and I love candy!"

She would never spit it out. Even if she was discovered, she would rather swallow it.

Ivan glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Lilly's chubby face, she looked like a little bunny that had secretly eaten a carrot. With the candy in her mouth, her mouth was pursed, and her cheeks naturally puffed out a little. It was adorable.

Ivan then looked away. "Thank you for the other day," he calmly said as he stared straight ahead.

Lilly was focused on eating the candy, feeling the sweet taste spread in her mouth. She was dumbfounded when she heard Ivan suddenly thanking her. "Huh?"

Ivan did not say anything else. On the stage, the host was speaking continuously. He thought it was boring, so he could not help but look at Lilly. She seemed to have finished eating the candy as she licked her lips, looking unfulfilled.

Ivan asked, "Why do you like candy so much?"

Lilly held her sippy cup and drank some water as she said, "Because it's sweet! Life is bitter, but candy is sweet."

Ivan was stunned. He could not believe that she could say such words.

Lilly replied, "Mmhm!" She even grabbed Charlie's finger, seemingly wanting to prove that she would run around.

Charlie was startled when his finger was grabbed, but when he saw the cute kid in front of him, his heart could not help but melt.

"Don't worry, Mr. Anthony," Charlie said.

Anthony nodded and walked up the stage.

After saying a few words, the main people in charge stood in front of the ribbon, holding golden scissors.

Along with the sound of firecrackers and applause from the audience, the golden scissors cut the red ribbon.

At this moment, the sun rose to the East of the venue. Through the colorful tinted glass on the roof, the light shone onto the stage! With the ceremony ball as the center, the stage was covered in a colorful, gentle light!

Anthony was taken aback, and he subconsciously looked at the time. It was precisely 10:18 AM!

The audience below the stage was in an uproar. They looked at the gentle light on the stage in disbelief and then looked toward Lilly.

There's really a gentle light?!

The person who said he would shave his head mumbled, "It's impossible! This must have been planned in advance…"

The person next to him also said, "Yes… It's too magical, so it's definitely planned…"

However, they looked up toward the direction where the light came from. There were no manmade traces. They could only see the sunlight shining through the colorful tinted glass, which created a gentle light. This would mean that everything was a coincidence!

Everyone was dumbfounded…
