Chapter 1268 Cloud Is Home 

“Merry Christmas!” 

In the dining hall of the Crawford family residence, everyone raised their arms and clinked glasses. Even Matthan raised his feeding bottle and shouted, “Agagaga!” 

Balke nearly choked on his champagne. He took his phone and snapped a few quick shots of Matthan holding his bottle happily and sucking on it. 

Matthan seemed to have noticed something and turned his head. 

away. 

Blake smiled cryptically and said, “Why don’t we take a family photo?” 

There were two tables in the dining hall. The first one had all the Crawford family members. sitting around it. The second was occupied by the spirits from the jar of souls. There was another “table” of animals outside. 

The phone camera could not fit everyone. 

Matthan stared at Blake, eager to hear what he had to say about it. 

In the next moment, a drone hovered in front of them. Blake pointed at the drone and said, “Everyone, look at the camera!” 

Click! 

The drone transferred the photos to Blake’s phone. There were eight photos in total. One of them included everyone in the dining hall. 

Jessie and Tinkerbell were squeezed next to Lilly. The Harem spirit and the weakling spirits were floating in the air. Pablo was floating behind Lilly. 

There was also the passionate spirit, the rich spirit, the crying spirit, and others. The photo was full of “people.” 

Blake saved that photo somewhere secure. He picked one of the better ones and sent it to the family chat group. 

There was a brief moment of silence as everyone checked their phones. 

Bettany was also looking at the photo on her phone Everyone was there, except for Jean, who couldn’t appear in the photo, and Cloud, who did not return home 

Jean leaned close to her and said, ‘Moin, I can’t leave any trace of my existence in this realm now You 

13 

Bettany interrupted her. “It’s okay. I’m happy as long as I can see you.” 

She knew she could not ask for too much. 

“Let’s eat!” The dining hall was noisy once more. 

“Too bad Cloud can’t come home,” Edward said. “Everyone else is here!” 

Gilbert replied, “He told me he was involved in an emergency mission.” 

Bettany sighed. “It’s pretty chaotic where he is now. I hope he can stay safe…” 

Edward laughed heartily. “Don’t worry, Mom! Don’t forget that he’s wearing Lilly’s good luck bracelet and other protective charms! A cat has nine lives, but Cloud has more!” 

Hugh said, “That’s right. It’s Christmas. You shouldn’t overthink.” 

“Don’t worry,” Anthony said. “I’ve gotten a message from him. He says he’ll be back after Christmas.” 

“Let’s eat!” Bryson said. 

Lilly did not say anything. Her gaze was fixed on the front door. 

Suddenly, she said, “Uncle Cloud… will be back soon.” 

Everyone was surprised. They knew Lilly was not lying. 

Bettany could not hide her excitement. She said, “Margaret, go and get him a plate!” 

Margaret stood up. “Yes! I’ll get it now!” 

She was also very excited to see a full reunion of the family. 

Everyone put their cutlery down and waited for Cloud’s arrival. 

Edward even started a bet. “I bet Cloud will be back in five minutes!” 

Jonas said, “Five minutes? That’s too fast! It means that he’s already at the front gate. I say it’ll take him ten minutes.” 

There was no sign of anyone at the front gate yet. 

Max chuckled and said, “Are you doubting Lilly’s abilities? I say seven minutes!” 

Bryson smiled and shook his head. “Six minutes.”
