Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 1276

Chapter 1276 You Are My Best Friend 

Lilly hastily threw on a mink coat and rushed outside. 

Josh noticed her leaving and followed, asking, “Lils, where are you going?” 

Lilly hurriedly replied, “Ivan’s here. I’m going to greet him.” 

Josh fell silent. 

After the New Year, Lilly turned nine years old. She had grown up and become quite gorgeous. She wore a red mink fur coat with a long cape and seemed graceful as she walked through the snow. 

“Ivan?” Lilly asked. 

When Lilly reached the doorstep, she found Ivan standing there in silence. The weather has been extremely cold these days, with temperatures dropping to minus four or five degrees. 

However, Ivan was wearing a down jacket without an additional hat, just pulling the hood of the jacket over his head. 

Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and his breath created clusters of white mist as he turned 

around.

“On such a cold day, why are you only wearing a down jacket?” Lilly asked in surprise. During the coldest times in Alfornada, a down jacket certainly wouldn’t provide as much warmth as my coat. He had also been standing outside for quite a while. 

Ivan replied, “It’s fine; I’m not cold.” 

Ivan handed Lilly a ring and said, “Here, this is a storage ring.” 

Worried that Lilly might misunderstand, Ivan quickly explained, “I was actually looking for other storage bracelets or necklaces but couldn’t find any.” 

Lilly accepted the ring and asked, “Why are you giving this to me? My dad already gave me 

one.” 

Lilly raised her hand to show Ivan a light purple ring on her index finger, which had been specially made for her by Blake. She had similar rings from childhood to adulthood. However, she started wearing them again when she was reincarnated. 

Ivan pursed his lips and glanced toward the main Crawford mansion. 

He had stood here for quite some time just now and figured out a way to see Cloud’s figure

through the glass windows. 

Ivan said in a low voice, “There’s some elixir inside the ring for old Mrs. Crawford.” 

Lilly finally understood Ivan’s move. He had come specifically to deliver an elixir for Granny. He must be worried about her. 

She tightly held the ring and said, “Thank you.” 

Although she already had one, Ivan’s gesture meant more than anything else. 

Ivan fell silent as he was unsure of what to say. I wanted to tell her not to be too sad, but I am afraid that saying this might make her cry. 

“You…” Ivan hesitated for a while and said, “If you need anything, just let me know.” 

Lilly felt heart-warmed and nodded. Suddenly, she remembered something and hurriedly said, “Ivan, come inside quickly; it’s so cold out here!” 

Unexpectedly, Ivan shook his head and said, “No, I won’t go in. I won’t be coming to visit for the New Year in a few days.” Daddy had mentioned that celebrating the New Year might not be suitable, as it would essentially be Cloud’s memorial meeting… 

“Goodbye,” Ivan said, and he left. 

Lilly fell into silence. I feel even sadder whenever I think about Cloud’s situation. 

Lilly stood beside the door while watching Ivan depart. For some reason, I suddenly felt like I was always on my own, all alone. It was a bit lonely, a bit bewildering, and a bit sorrowful. 

Suddenly, Ivan turned back. 

“What’s wrong?” Ivan asked because he felt something was amiss. I could feel Lilly staring at me directly from the back. The snowflakes seemed to be fierce as well. 

Ivan immediately turned around and went back. 

Lilly sniffled and said, “It’s nothing.” Unexpectedly, I felt better after Ivan turned around and asked me… The feeling of my loneliness was suddenly gone in a moment. 

“Thank you. Ivan,” Lilly sincerely said. “You’re my best friend.” 

Ivan remained silent for a moment and said, “Copy that.” 

Lilly said, “Won’t you come inside for a while? Have a cup of hot tea to warm up.”
