In the blink of an eye, one semester had passed, and the joyful summer vacation had arrived.
During regular school days, no matter how much you called the children to wake up for school, they would struggle to get out of bed.
But during holidays, when you want to sleep in, they were up early and full of energy.
Hannah was exactly like that.
During school days, she needed to be urged multiple times to get out of bed and would often rush to school just before eight o'clock.
But now that it was summer vacation, she woke up at seven o'clock sharp, barged into Lilly's room with a bang, and exclaimed excitedly, "Lilly! Wake up, let's go play!"
Lilly had stayed up late listening to an audiobook last night. She had found her mother's old mobile phone in Anthony's drawer and used an app on it to read the stories from her mother's collection.
Listening to stories her mother heard felt like her mother was telling her the stories...
Eventually, she ended up listening to it all night... though she could not remember when she fell asleep afterward.
Hannah picked up the phone and glanced at it. "Help… I woke up and was married to a paralyzed man?"
She looked disgusted. "What are you watching... How old are you? We, children, aren't allowed to watch romantic things. Behave yourself, don't develop romantic feelings at such a young age!"
Look at Damian, he almost got tricked!
Lilly rubbed her eyes, yawned, and stared sleepily and groggily.
"No... it's a story about a woman and a talking chicken..."
Lilly spoke in a disinterested tone and then lay back down.
Staying up late isn't for me!
I'm so tired…
"Lilly? Hey! Wake up, let's go ghost hunting!" Hannah shook her.
Lilly clutched her blanket and mumbled, "Hannah, let me sleep a little longer, just one more minute, you can count to one hundred..."
Hannah nodded. "Okay, 1, 2..."
Josh peeked his head in, followed by Zachary, who stretched his neck to look inside.
"Is Lilly awake?"
Josh replied, "Ask your sister."
Zachary looked confused. Why did Josh lose his temper so early in the morning?
Well, who doesn't have a temper?
Zachary playfully slapped Josh on the head.
Josh held his head and gave him a stern look. "What was that for?"
Zachary snorted. "Who told you not to speak properly?"
Josh asked in confusion, "What do you mean I'm not speaking properly? I meant to ask about your sister, ask your sister, ask your sister!"
Zachary muttered to himself, "Oh, okay then."
Josh angrily patted his head and accidentally stepped on the cat as he walked in, causing a commotion. He then approached Hannah and whispered, "Is Lilly awake?"
Hannah was engrossed in counting when suddenly she felt a chill run down her spine, and a creepy voice said, "Lilly, are you awake…"
Terrified, her hair stood on end and she leaped onto Lilly with a startled groan.
Lilly was wrapped in a blanket, while Hannah exclaimed, "Surprise!"
"Help..." She stretched out her hand. "Hannah's so heavy..."
Lilly grabbed the socks and casually put them on her shoulder. "Hurry up, hurry up, stop wasting time!"
Perched on Lilly's shoulder, Polly shook its head and shouted, "Hurry up! Pay up! Pay up!"
Josh and the others were waiting at the door for thirty seconds.
Lilly, having changed her clothes, forcefully opened the door and dashed outside. Carrying the pet bag on her back, she hurriedly ran down the stairs, exclaiming, "Josh, hurry up!"
Hannah yelled, "Wait for me!"
As Bettany came out with two plates of dumplings and steamed pork, she saw several children standing up and entering the dining room in an orderly manner... oh no, they were in a mess.
They sat anxiously at the dining table, waiting for the meal to be served.
"What's the matter?" Bettany appeared bewildered. "Why did you wake up so early?"
Lilly explained, "Grandma, we'll collect debts after breakfast!"
Bettany was perplexed. "What debt? Where are you going to collect the debt?"
Lilly responded, "We're going to the prison! Some time ago, I messaged Rain on my phone, tricked her into going to the bar, and gave her 10,000 dollars! Daddy said he would help me get it back after everything was done, but he seems to have forgotten about it!"
The little one grumbled.
Bettany was speechless.
She smiled wryly "Oh... your Daddy? He took you to the bar, didn't he!"
Blake, who had just returned from a run and was about to enter, abruptly turned around and dashed out again.
"Come to think of it, I'll step up my training today and run another 6 miles."
Bettany chased after him with a frying pan, shouting, "Blake MacNeil! Stop right there!"
