Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 488

He rushed over to Lisa, exclaiming with joy. “That’s incredible! You said two words!”

Well, technically, “good morning” is considered two words!

His mom was making progress with her speech!

If he taught her one word every day, after a year, she would have learned three hundred and sixty-five words!

There were 470000 words in the dictionary and about 170000 commonly used words.

If she continued to learn one word per day, it would take her a staggering 78 years to master all the words.

He could dedicate himself to teaching her for as long as she lived….

After finishing their meal, the children headed off to school.

Hannah started attending elementary school, leaving Lilly to venture off to kindergarten on her own.

Lilly did not think much of it, but every time the family saw her off to the car, it felt as if she was embarking on a journey to a distant land.

Time flew by, and as the weather grew colder, the dining table at the Crawford household became adorned with an array of sumptuous dishes like roasted lamb, steak, braised pork, and even chicken soup.

The Crawford family members were getting rounder and Lisa was rapidly gaining weight.

She ate everything Bettany served her, without any hesitation. Within just two weeks, her once skinny 5.6-. foot, 154-pound frame had ballooned to 187 pounds.

“33 pounds in two weeks!” Bettany exclaimed, observing the changes with satisfaction.

Bellflower, who was busy grooming herself, halted in her tracks upon hearing those words. She turned her attention to the scale.

She understood the words “33 pounds”!

A month ago, the old lady had put her on the scale, cheerfully announcing that she weighed 33 pounds, emphasizing that a cat had to be chubby to be adorable!

Polly bobbed his head and chuckled, saying, “Eat happily, grow like a pig! If the pig can’t put on weight, eat

some more!”

With a swift motion, Bettany flung a slipper in Polly’s direction.

Polly swiftly took flight, squawking, “Do not hit the bird!”

“Nom… Nom… Nom…”

Aunt Lisa sure is serious when it comes to eating…

Her bulging belly grew at a visibly rapid pace.

Lilly asked with concern, “Won’t Aunt Lisa’s stomach burst?”

She reached out to touch it but accidentally brushed it against Josh.

“Aunt Lisa is cold!” Lilly exclaimed, “She was cold the last time too!”

Polly poked his head out from upstairs and chimed in, “Cold! Cold!”

Everyone’s mouths twitched.

Josh quickly raised his hand to feel it and said, “No, she’s still cold,”

Drake interjected silently, ‘It’s warm,”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

So, was it cold or warm?

“Gilbert, once you’re done with your meal, please check up on Lisa,” Bettany instructed.

She could not help but think to herself, what a well-behaved and obedient “daughter-in-law” she has. It would be best if nothing happened.

Gilbert nodded carnestly, “Alright,”
