Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 1416

Lilly was taken aback by the profound impact of a single sentence.

The phrase "have more babies" frightened away all eight uncles.

Hugh glanced at Jonas once again.

Jonas put away his and Quinnie's coats before taking the child's belongings to the second floor.

Upon coming downstairs, he witnessed his brothers running away. There was no need to guess—it was Hugh urging them to get married and have children again.

Noticing Hugh's gaze, he took the initiative to say, "Quinnie and I plan to have two children in three years, preferably two girls. Our family lacks girls. What do you think, Dad?"

That response left Hugh speechless.

What opinion could he possibly have? It wasn't like he was the one giving birth.

Moreover, could the gender of the child be planned?

However, Jonas persisted, "Other people have secret methods for having boys or girls, Dad. Do you have any?"

Hugh replied, "No."

Frowning, Jonas urged, "Then hurry up and find one. Otherwise, where will your granddaughter come from? Will she fall from the sky?

Do your friends have any? Do you go to the park every day to chat with them? You keep urging us, but you don't seem in a hurry at all.

Hugh stood up. "I have something to do in my study."

Then, he left.

After that, Jonas smirked and raised an eyebrow at Lilly.

Lilly thought, I've learned something new again. This is called reverse psychology, and it can render Grandpa speechless.

She couldn't help but giggle, finding it amusing to be at home.

Quinnie tapped her nose. "What are you laughing at?"

Lilly replied, "Nothing. I'm just laughing at how Uncle Cloud turned the tables on Grandpa."

What transpired just now was also amusing to Quinnie. The once rebellious and handsome great actor, Jonas Crawford, had gradually become a "homely and gentle" man.

It was normal for the elderly to urge the younger generation to have children. Moreover, Hugh had never said anything in front of her or the others. This topic just happened to be brought up today.

Therefore, she didn't feel any pressure, but Jonas still helped her rebuke Hugh.

The baby in her arms waved his hands and shouted, "Pin. Pin. Pin."

Lilly looked down at him and asked with a smile, "Why do you keep repeating 'pin?' What do you want to pin?"

Upon hearing that, Jonas let out an embarrassed cough. He would never admit that he taught his child to ask his sister for a "girl producing pill."

Hence, "pin" was probably "pill."

"Lilly, this is a New Year's gift from your aunt Quinnie and me." Jonas handed her a pink velvet box. "Take a look and see if you like it."

Lilly opened it and exclaimed happily, "I love it!"

It was a plump-looking and cute pink and purple bottle.

Quinnie didn't expect her to suddenly mention it and be so direct about it.

Originally, she wanted to avoid discussing it and didn't want to be "overly dramatic" with others.

But for some reason, it felt like she had found someone she could talk to, and she couldn't help but choke up.

"I've changed so much. You probably can't recognize me anymore!"

Lilly joked, "How could I? I would still recognize you even if you're a pile of ashes."

That was true.

When Quinnie heard that, she burst into laughter, and the suppressed atmosphere was instantly swept away.

Afterward, she sighed. "I just feel like I can't find my old self. It's like I suddenly accomplished everything I wanted to do, and I don't know what value I have left.

I have been trying hard to lose weight and still want to continue doing what I love, but perhaps ordinary people cannot understand the impact and anxiety of being an actress who can't lose weight no matter how hard she tries."

Although her family didn't need her to work and earn money, and she could live a comfortable life without doing anything, she still loved acting.

The entertainment industry was like murky water, with many female stars relying on despicable means to climb up. However, she had honestly relied on her acting skills and talent to rise to her position, and that sense of achievement and fulfillment could not be replaced by anything else.

But if she could not lose weight, how was she going to make a comeback?

She lacked the courage to confront her current self.

Quinnie appeared despondent, thinking that she might never be able to return to her old self.
