Chapter 26
Spoiled (Lily)
Tina had been proud of Cheryl since Cheryl won the national junior competition and was selected to join the National Art Council. She often mentioned it in front of outsiders.
She thought Cheryl was famous, and Lawrence from the National Art Council must remember Cheryl.
Nonetheless, she did not expect Lawrence did not recognize Cheryl at all.
Tina could not help but blush.
Cheryl was only a kid. She could not help asking, âMr. Lambert, arenât you here to recruit students?â
âYeah. Whatâs wrong?â
âThen why havenât you recruited me yet?â Cheryl asked.
Hearing that, Lawrence was confused.
However, Tina was embarrassed.
âIâm sorry, little girl but Iâve just accepted a student just now,â said Lawrence politely.
Hearing that, Tina was stunned. She forced a smiled and asked, âLily?â
Lawrence nodded and could not help smiling at the mention of Lily. âYes! Lily is a very talented kid!â
After saying that, he nodded and left.
Tina could not believe it. She could not help but condemn. âThe Crawford family really spent moneyâ¦â
Cheryl was stunned.
Did Lily become Mr.Lambertâs student?
Suddenly, Cheryl sobbed and ran away.
She hated Lily. Lawrence came here for her but Lily took it away.
Seeing that, Tina hurried to catch up After bidding goodbye to Lawrence, Lily went back to her room. She then took a bath and changed into pink pajamas with two long rabbit ears, which made her look very cute.
Touching her forehead, Bettany asked, âDo you want Granny to accompany you to sleep?â
Holding the quilt, Lily shook her head. âItâs okay. I can sleep alone.â
Bettany stroked Lilyâs hair.
She is so independent.
âCall Granny if you need anything. Ring this bell.â
Lilly nodded and said good night to Bettany.
Pablo leaned against the wall and laughed.
He recalled the scene just now where Lawrence recruited Lily as his student. Lawrence stole his student.
âHey, Tulip, let me teach you some magic. Do you know magic? Look! Whoosh! And you can create a fireball! Or do you want to learn something else, like cast a spell? But you have to do the Third Eye Activation first.â
âI donât want to learn magic! I want to learn drawing from Mr. Lambert. Thatâs what a normal kid should do.â
âWhat? What did you say a kid should do?â
âEat, sleep, draw and play with Polly.â
Lilyâs room was connected to the room next door. The room next door was decorated like a tropical rainforest for Polly.
The rooms were spacious, and there was a fence between the two rooms.
Polly which was about to fall asleep immediately opened its eyes and said, âPlay with Polly! Play with Polly!â
Hearing that, Lily chuckled and pretended to lie on the bed as if she was hit. âOh, Iâm dead.â
Quack! Quack!
The corner of Pabloâs mouth could not help but twitch.
If it wasnât for the fact that Lily has the potential to learn magic⦠No, if I had not promised Jean, thereâs no way Iâm begging this little girl here.
Rubbing his nose, Pablo said, âTulip, have you forgotten what Mommy said?â
When Lily dreamt about Jean the other day, Jean told Lily to take care of Granny and left. Lily cried bitterly when she woke up.
Pablo had no choice but to dress up like Jean to comfort Lily. At the same time, he pretended to sound like Jean and said, âLily, your master is a good man. You have to learn magic from him. With that, you can see Mommy as you wish.â
Lily blinked her eyes and pouted.
âMaster, youâre the one who pretended to be Mommy that day. I knew it.â
âHow do you know?â Pablo was stunned.
Lily glanced at Pablo and said, âYour feet! Mommyâs feet are not that big! Silly!â
Hearing that, Pablo was speechless.
No way! How could I make such a stupid mistake?
Just when Pablo was still thinking about the mistakes he made, Lily suddenly asked, âMaster, can I really see Mommy if I know magic?â
Lily lay on the bed, grasping the corner of the quilt. She looked serious.
âOf course!â
Hearing that, Lily quickly sat upright and said, âAll right. Iâll learn magic from you.â
Forget it. Master looks more silly than Polly. I should forgive him!
It turned out that Lily was unhappy when Pablo disappeared after leaving the red bracelet. However, she decided to forgive him now.
Pablo was stunned. He had not figured out what to teach Lily yet.
In the end, he decided to deceive her first.
âLilly, letâs start with the Third Eye Activation. Everyone is born with the Third Eye, but some people can activate it, and some cannot.â
One could see something that ordinary people could not see when the Third Eye was activated. That was the reason some babies cried inexplicably, but some were not affected at all.
However, as one grew older, the Third Eye would disappear.
Nonetheless, some people were special. The Third Eye did not disappear at all. It was only temporarily shut.
âTulip, your Third Eye did not disappear. You can see me if you open it.â
Lilly gasped with her eyes wide open. She touched her forehead and said, âI donât want to open my Third Eye. I donât want to have 3 eyes. Itâs so ugly!â
Hearing that, Pablo was dumbfounded.
What? Ugly?
âThe Third Eye wonât show on your face. Itâs hidden between your two eyes.â
Lily breathed a sigh of relief. âPhew! Thatâs better.â
âCome, repeat after me. Concentrate on your breath and pala-palaâ¦â
âConcentrate on your breath and pala-palaâ¦â
Suddenly, Pablo decided to pull a prank.
âPush and fart,â he said.
Lily repeated obediently, âPush and fart!â
As she spoke, she farted.
Pablo could not help but smirk.
Itâs so funny!
However, Lily was still closing her eyes. âMaster, why canât I see anything yet?â
âWell, itâs not that easy. Iâve seen one took forty-nine daysâ¦â
Right then, Lily opened her eyes.
A purple light flashed across her eyes, and she saw a white figure in the room.
Pablo was leaning against the cabinet and cleaning his ear. âDonât rush. I think you have to wait forty-
nine daysâ¦â
As he spoke, he moved his finger from his ear to his nose and sniffed.
Lily blinked and asked, âMaster, why are you sniffing your ear wax?â
âWhat? I didnât⦠Wait! Did you see me?â
