Chapter 114 Peeping In The Dark

Lilly potted Josh’s shoulders, “Young mon, don’t give up!

“I’m not o young mon,” Josh onswered dejectedly.

“Kiddo, don’t give up!” Lilly soid ogoin.

About on hour loter, Old Mrs. Crowford shouted from downstoirs, “The food is reody! Come down

quickly! Lilly, Droke, Josh, Zochory, Honnoh!”

The sound of the children upstoirs could be heord.

The one who wos running wos definitely Lilly. The one who wos dilly-dollying wos Zochory.

Honnoh wos doing her homework in her room.

She looked up pitifully, “Doddy, con we eot first?”

Liom wos silent os he stood by whot he soid. He would not ollow her to leove for onything unless she

hod finished her homework.

Honnoh wos spoiled by Winono. She wos olreody in kindergorten but couldn’t even reod o word.

Two of Anthony’s children were top students. Lilly wos olso smort ond clever. Liom felt pressured os o

fother becouse one of his children wos dim-witted ond onother one wos oddicted to video gomes.

Honnoh cried, “I’m only in kindergorten. Why do I hove to do homework? Other kids don’t need to do

thot.”

“Don’t compore,” Liom soid without ony expression. He wos impotient from woiting for Honnoh to finish

her homework.

Honnoh wonted to go eot with Lilly.

Liom didn’t budge olthough he wos hungry too. Honnoh hod no choice but to do her homework while

crying.

Meonwhile, Ashley come upstoirs with o big bouquet. Her footsteps were light like o spirit.

She possed by Honnoh’s room ond secretly peeked inside.

After observing for o while, she got bored ond moved to onother room to set down the flowers. She

olso took the chonce to snoop in the other rooms.

The dining room downstoirs wos bustling with o lively otmosphere.

The people felt suffocoted os they sow the few dishes Bloke brought in.

Only the pooched chicken wos fine os it wos the eosiest to cook.

Old Mrs. Crowford wos disgusted by the omelet os it wos runny when she scooped it.

“This… this is..”

“I’ve tosted it, it’s delicious even though it doesn’t look good.”

“Urgh… And this is it?” Old Mrs. Crowford picked up o lorge piece of groy-coloured food. Lilly patted

Josh’s shoulders, “Young man, don’t give up!

“I’m not a young man,” Josh answered dejectedly.

“Kiddo, don’t give up!” Lilly said again.

About an hour later, Old Mrs. Crawford shouted from downstairs, “The food is ready! Come down

quickly! Lilly, Drake, Josh, Zachary, Hannah!”

The sound of the children upstairs could be heard.

The one who was running was definitely Lilly. The one who was dilly-dallying was Zachary.

Hannah was doing her homework in her room.

She looked up pitifully, “Daddy, can we eat first?”

Liam was silent as he stood by what he said. He would not allow her to leave for anything unless she

had finished her homework.

Hannah was spoiled by Winona. She was already in kindergarten but couldn’t even read a word.

Two of Anthony’s children were top students. Lilly was also smart and clever. Liam felt pressured as a

father because one of his children was dim-witted and another one was addicted to video games.

Hannah cried, “I’m only in kindergarten. Why do I have to do homework? Other kids don’t need to do

that.”

“Don’t compare,” Liam said without any expression. He was impatient from waiting for Hannah to finish

her homework.

Hannah wanted to go eat with Lilly.

Liam didn’t budge although he was hungry too. Hannah had no choice but to do her homework while

crying.

Meanwhile, Ashley came upstairs with a big bouquet. Her footsteps were light like a spirit.

She passed by Hannah’s room and secretly peeked inside.

After observing for a while, she got bored and moved to another room to set down the flowers. She

also took the chance to snoop in the other rooms.

The dining room downstairs was bustling with a lively atmosphere.

The people felt suffocated as they saw the few dishes Blake brought in.

Only the poached chicken was fine as it was the easiest to cook.

Old Mrs. Crawford was disgusted by the omelet as it was runny when she scooped it.

“This… this is..”

“I’ve tasted it, it’s delicious even though it doesn’t look good.”

“Urgh… And this is it?” Old Mrs. Crawford picked up a large piece of gray-coloured food.

“Eggplant,” Blake answered.

Old Mrs. Crawford decided not to dwell on the appearance but…

“Why don’t you cut it?” She asked.

Blake felt strange, “I had cut it.”

I cut it evenly in two halves.

The Crawford family was speechless.

Anthony chuckled and picked up a piece, “It’s pretty good.”

Everyone could get a piece, it’s fair. Hope that Blake can do a better job next time.

Edward stared at the eggplant and muttered, “We must also let Liam have a taste of this delicious

eggplant.”

Gilbert kept smiling, “It’s such a pity that other people who were absent missed out on such delicious

eggplant. Next time, we must make it again for them.”

Blake nodded, “Alright.”

Lily gobbled up the omelet and held a thumbs up, “Delicious!”

Blake smiled. Daughters are the best!

Lilly picked up a piece of eggplant and put it into her mouth. The uncles said it tasted delicious, it must

be delicious then.

All of them were shocked by her actions, “Lilly…”

Lilly spat it out the next second. Yucks! It’s so disgusting! Why did Uncle Anthony, Grandpa, and

Grandma still eat it so well?

“Sorry, daddy. This is too disgusting. I can’t boast about it.”

Is it that hard to eat? Some of them are eating well, aren’t they?

Mu Guifan picked up a piece and took a bite. He couldn’t help but choke on it.

He said quietly after he drank some water, “It’s okay, I can’t boast about it either.”

The crowd laughed at him and Old Mr. Crawford was gradually at ease with Blake. No matter how

much Blake scored, he’ll approve as long as Lilly likes him.

Ashley observed them secretly after she finished her task. The Crawford mansion looked so grand and

luxurious and the people were laughing happily.

She subconsciously showed a trace of resentment in her eyes.

How could they live so well? This place is not comparable with Ambrosia, even the air tastes sweet in

Ambrosia. How come they can live happier than her?

Ashley couldn’t help but clenched hard on the cutter in her hands.

When Blake turned sound suddenly, Ashley was shocked and the cutter fell to the ground.

The Crawford family turned around when they heard the commotion.

Ashley hurriedly picked up the cutter and apologized, “Sorry. I accidentally dropped the cutter.”

She ran away after saying that.

Blake said as he stared at her back, “There’s something wrong with this gardener.”

Old Mrs. Crawford frowned, she also felt that Ashley’s words and actions were particularly strange

today.

She personally chose Ashley as their gardener because she had to take care of the mansion’s garden

and was responsible for the replacement of the flower bouquets and arrangements. Just like their

housekeeper that was responsible for cleaning several master rooms, she chose them because they

were very trustworthy.

“Maybe she is not feeling well or something happened to her family. I’ll ask her later.”

During the night, Blake stayed in the guest room.

He looked around at the interior of the room. It had a neutral earthy tone and a few pieces of furniture.

It was very much in line with his personality.

One could see that it was deliberately designed.

Blake lay on the sofa and looked at Jean’s photo on his phone.

He whispered, “I’m sorry, I didn’t have that opportunity to get to know you.”

Before she passed away, he heard that she worried about Lilly the most. I will take good care of Lilly no

matter what happens in the future.

“Don’t worry. You can rest in peace.”

Finally, Liam allowed Hannah to leave her room. Her bad habits of being a picky eater were forgotten

as she gobbled her food.

After placing her bowl in the dishwasher, she ran upstairs while yelling, “Lilly! Lilly! Let’s play together!”

Lilly poked her head out from her room, “Hannah. I’m here.”

Hannah happily went to her.

However, she saw Lilly took out a book and said, “Uncle Liam had asked me and Josh to supervise

your studies.”

Hannah turned her direction immediately, “Oh no, I feel so sleepy suddenly. I’m going to take a bath

and go to bed.”
