Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 96

At midnight, it was easier to encounter ghosts, not to mention that Rebecca walked alone for more than two hours.

Lilly asked, “Didn’t your husband come to find you?”

Rebecca shook her head. “He didn’t even know I went home. I cried as I walked and felt hopeless. What’s the point of me earning so much money?”

Lilly was full of confusion. “Why didn’t you tell him?”

Rebecca sighed. “I don’t want to say it. That’s useless.”

Lilly and Pablo were speechless again.

Anthony frowned. Although he would never get involved in other people’s business, he could not bear it anymore.

He asked coldly, “Why didn’t you resist?”

What was the point of making money if Rebecca still needed to swallow her anger? The meaning of working hard to make money was to let oneself not be aggrieved and to live happily. When someone wanted to control her, she could hit him back hard.

Pablo crossed his arms and shook his head. “She has to suffer if she doesn’t divorce.”

Lilly vaguely understood Pablo’s words, then said to Rebecca, “You can divorce!”

When Lilly mentioned divorce, Rebecca hesitated and answered, “Uh, my husband is still good. At least he didn’t go out to find another woman…”

Her reply made people speechless. Pablo did not know what to say.

Lilly asked strangely, “Aunty Rebecca, isn’t this what he should do?”

Two adults got married together. It was the right thing to abide by the agreement.

Lilly remembered she watched a couple’s wedding ceremony on TV shows. The man solemnly swore to love the woman and be faithful to her. No matter if she was poor, sick, or disabled until she died.

How could something he should do become an advantage?

Lilly felt that she was still too young. She could not understand the adults even if she tried her best.

Lilly shook her head and said solemnly, “Aunty Rebecca, I’ll help you drive away bad luck! I hope you’ll be brave in the future. Say no to things you don’t like!”

Rebecca froze. Looking at Lilly, who was only a few years old, she suddenly felt she was not even as good as a child.

Sometimes she also wanted to resist. But in the adult world, she could not do many reckless acts. She was also afraid that the quarrel would have a bad effect on her children and affect her mood. Moreover, she did not want others to laugh at her.

Once, she had a big fight with Harry. As a result, she could not write a single word for three days. So it was useless to argue. It was better not to say it out loud.

Rebecca babbled and continued to complain, but her eyes gradually became dull. She became like a mindless robot repeating her complaints mechanically.

Pablo withdrew his hand and said, “Okay, take that spirit away now!” He was irritated listening to Rebecca.

“Come on, Tulip! Read with me!”

He flickered his eyes slightly, and a trace of seriousness appeared. “Evil spirit! Show your original shape!”

Lilly imitated his spell loudly. “Evil spirit! Show your original shape!”

Before Anthony could react, he suddenly saw a shadow on Rebecca’s shoulder.

Anthony was shocked. When he looked carefully, there seemed to be nothing, as if it was his illusion.

Lilly’s gaze shifted from Rebecca to the weakling spirit on her shoulder. Following Pablo’s words, she asked solemnly, “What’s your name? When and where were you born?”

The weakling spirit frowned while hesitating, then said, “My name is Michael Owen, from Bashium…”

Lilly suddenly raised the jar of souls and asked loudly, “Michael, do you dare to answer me when I call you?”
