Chapter 952: Chater 960

Anthony descended the stairs, his expression fixed and his gaze straight ahead. He seemed as if he had just experienced a sudden bout of weakness in his legs.

Lilly looked at him in confusion and asked, “Uncle Anthony, why did your legs give out just now?”

Curiosity swelled within the inquisitive little one, pushing her into the highest stage of relentless questioning.

“Uncle Anthony, were you so hungry from oversleeping?” she pondered.

“In the past, when Uncle Anthony was hungry, his legs didn’t go weak,” she continued, perplexed.

“Could it be that you have a calcium deficiency? Granny said weak bones are caused by a lack of calcium.”

“No, that’s not it,” she corrected herself. “Uncle Anthony is an adult, not a child…”

“So, what could it be?”

“Oh, and Uncle Anthony, did you and Aunt Lisa play hide-and-seek in the room yesterday?”

Josh burst into a fit of coughing, and Gilbert nearly sprayed the food from his mouth.

Bettany stuffed a chicken leg into Lilly’s mouth and said, “Here, Lilly, have a chicken leg. Granny roasted it to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It’s delicious.”

Lilly mumbled with a mouthful of food, “Mmff… Uncle Anthony…”

Lisa looked up, puzzled, and glanced at Bettany. But as soon as her gaze met Anthony’s, she quickly lowered her head.

Taking a big bite of his meal, Anthony calmly said, “Let’s eat, shall we? Why are you all staring?”

Drake, Josh, and Gilbert immediately averted their gaze, pretending to engage in conversation.

“Nice weather today, isn’t it?” Gilbert suggested. “Anyone up for some outdoor activities?”

“Uncle Gilbert, Drake and I have an extracurricular class today,” Josh chimed in.

Drake looked at the dishes on the table, contemplating which one he could pick for fish bones.

Bettany spoke up, “Lilly and I are going to visit her teacher today. We won’t be back for lunch… you can have your meal.”

Hugh raised his head and said, “I’ll go too.”

Bettany looked puzzled. “Why would you go?”

Hugh held up his tablet with a serious expression. “To take photos for you.”

Bettany fell silent.

Josh suddenly exclaimed, “Grandpa Hugh, wherever Granny goes, you go too!”

Lilly finally swallowed the piece of roast chicken and said, “Grandpa just likes to be with Granny! What do you know, Josh? It’s called being devoted!”

Bettany couldn’t help but laugh as she pinched Lilly’s cheek. “You’re so clever!”

She looked up at Lisa and then at Anthony. “By the way, do you two still plan to have a wedding?”

Hugh, who had somehow made his way to Bettany’s side and sat down, chimed in, “It would be best to have one. Since she’s with you, you shouldn’t skimp on her.”

They had planned for it before, but Lily kept getting into trouble every time, so they gradually put it aside out of concern for her well-being.

Lisa was also stubborn and insisted on waiting for Lily.

Anthony spoke in a gentle tone, “Yes, we will have a wedding.”

They had already obtained the marriage certificate, but they hadn’t celebrated with a proper wedding ceremony.

It was his fault as a husband.

Even though Lisa didn’t have parents or siblings anymore, they still needed to observe the proper etiquette.

She shouldn’t be left out, just like everyone else.

Lisa raised her head, pouting her cheeks. “I want Lilly to be the flower…”

What was the word she was looking for?

She couldn’t recall it at the moment.

Josh immediately helped her out, “Flower girl! That’s a good idea. Then I’ll be the other flower girl, hehe!”

Drake hesitated for a moment and coolly stated, “Flower girls can’t be siblings.”

Josh retorted, “Who said so?!”

Drake quickly listed a bunch of reasons, but Josh interrupted, “So, do you want Ivan to be the male flower girl instead?”

Drake fell silent.

Having Josh as the flower girl was a better choice than having Ivan.

Josh’s eyes gleamed with victorious cunning.

Hannah stood up and asked as she descended the stairs, “What flower girl? I want to be one too!”

Josh fiercely defended his position as Lilly’s flower girl partner, “No, you’re a girl. You can’t be a flower girl with Lilly.”

Hannah picked up a bowl and, feeling hungry, took a big bite before asking in a muffled voice, “Do they have to be boys and girls? Can’t I shave my head again, so I can?”

Josh and Drake fell into silence.

Lilly chimed in, “Forget it, Hannah. You look better with long hair.” She remembered when Hannah had her head shaved, even though it wasn’t completely bald, many people thought Hannah was her brother.

She already had three brothers, so having another sister would be better.

Hannah reluctantly said, “Fine.”

She regretted sleeping in and not being able to partner up with Lilly.

From now on, she had to wake up earlier; otherwise, she wouldn’t get to participate in any good things.

As Hannah pondered, she asked, “By the way, who’s getting married?”

Lilly pointed at Anthony and Lisa, saying, “Uncle Anthony and Aunt Lisa!”

Hannah was immediately taken aback. “Huh? Uncle Anthony is getting married again? Second marriage?”

Silence fell upon everyone.
