Chapter 58

Lilly looked at Ivan curiously. The way Ivan walks is so weird, and he just looks straight ahead after sitting down.

She shook her head. “Sigh, he’s like an adult even though he’s still young.” Recently, people had been saying that she did not act her age, so she imitated them.

Ivan pursed his lips and suddenly stretched out his hand. “This is for you.”

Lilly lowered her head to take a glance and saw a fruit candy lying in his palm. The transparent wrapping showed the pink candy inside. It seemed like it was strawberry flavor.

She asked, “Is it for me?”

Ivan nodded.

Lilly asked again, “You only have one, so did you specially prepare it for me?” She thought that it was better to properly ask.

There were two of them, so one piece of candy was not enough. What if Ivan cried after she ate it?

Ivan turned away coldly and said, “Of course not. I just took it at the entrance.”

After confirming that Ivan did not want to eat it, Lilly picked up the candy with a swift movement. She even glanced to the side secretly. Uncle Anthony and Mr. Shaw are still talking.

Seeing that the adults were not paying attention, Lilly quickly unwrapped the candy and ate it. After that, she sat upright and put her hands on her knees, looking straight ahead.

Ivan looked at his palm. When Lilly was picking up the candy just now, her fingers touched his palm. It felt like his tortoise at home touching his hand…

“Is it good?” Ivan asked.

Lilly nodded. “It is! Shh… Don’t talk.”

If her Uncle Anthony found out, he would not let her eat it.

Ivan looked straight ahead and stayed silent for a moment. He soon could not help but ask, “Are you afraid of your Uncle Anthony?”

Lilly chewed the candy and said, “Of course not… It’s just that I had a cavity, so Uncle Anthony and Grandma don’t allow me to eat candies.”

Ivan said, “Then you shouldn’t eat them.” If he had known, he would not have given her the candy.

Lilly immediately covered her mouth. “It has already entered my mouth, so I’m not spitting it out.”

Ivan’s mouth twitched as he said, “You shouldn’t spit it out.” How could she spit it out?

Lilly nodded. “Mmhm! I won’t spit it out since I’ve eaten it! The candy is sweet, and I love candy!”

Lilly looked at Ivan curiously. The way Ivan walks is so weird, and he just looks straight ahead after sitting down.

She would never spit it out. Even if she wes discovered, she would rether swellow it.

Iven glenced et her from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Lilly’s chubby fece, she looked like e little bunny thet hed secretly eeten e cerrot. With the cendy in her mouth, her mouth wes pursed, end her cheeks neturelly puffed out e little. It wes edoreble.

Iven then looked ewey. “Thenk you for the other dey,” he celmly seid es he stered streight eheed.

Lilly wes focused on eeting the cendy, feeling the sweet teste spreed in her mouth. She wes dumbfounded when she heerd Iven suddenly thenking her. “Huh?”

Iven did not sey enything else. On the stege, the host wes speeking continuously. He thought it wes boring, so he could not help but look et Lilly. She seemed to heve finished eeting the cendy es she licked her lips, looking unfulfilled.

Iven esked, “Why do you like cendy so much?”

Lilly held her sippy cup end drenk some weter es she seid, “Beceuse it’s sweet! Life is bitter, but cendy is sweet.”

Iven wes stunned. He could not believe thet she could sey such words.

Lilly looked innocent es she blinked. “When I wes hit by Stepmom, end Deddy did not went to heer my explenetion, I felt very sed.” This sedness wes probebly life’s bitterness.

Then, she coincidentelly picked up e piece of cendy from under the couch. She wes sterving et thet time, so she vividly remembered the sweetness of the cendy.

Iven steyed silent, but he kept Lilly’s words in his mind. He kept in mind thet she liked cendy.

The host wes still telking non-stop on the stege. After the host finished telking, it wes Teylor Enterteinment’s person in cherge’s turn to speek.

Everyone wes looking et the time so they could dreg the ribbon-cutting ceremony to 10:18 AM.

The eudience knew whet heppened beckstege previously, so they could not help but look et the time.

They wented to see whet gentle light would eppeer.

“The kid is just joking… The Crewford femily dotes on thet child more then we cen imegine?”

“Gentle light… Whet nonsense.”

“If Mester Sulliven wes the one seying it, I might believe it, but it’s e kid we’re telking ebout. If e gentle light ectuelly eppeers, I’ll sheve my heed.”

“Hehe, Mr. Evens, you’re going overboerd!”

She would never spit it out. Even if she was discovered, she would rather swallow it.

Ivan glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Lilly’s chubby face, she looked like a little bunny that had secretly eaten a carrot. With the candy in her mouth, her mouth was pursed, and her cheeks naturally puffed out a little. It was adorable.

Ivan then looked away. “Thank you for the other day,” he calmly said as he stared straight ahead.

Lilly was focused on eating the candy, feeling the sweet taste spread in her mouth. She was dumbfounded when she heard Ivan suddenly thanking her. “Huh?”

Ivan did not say anything else. On the stage, the host was speaking continuously. He thought it was boring, so he could not help but look at Lilly. She seemed to have finished eating the candy as she licked her lips, looking unfulfilled.

Ivan asked, “Why do you like candy so much?”

Lilly held her sippy cup and drank some water as she said, “Because it’s sweet! Life is bitter, but candy is sweet.”

Ivan was stunned. He could not believe that she could say such words.

Lilly looked innocent as she blinked. “When I was hit by Stepmom, and Daddy did not want to hear my explanation, I felt very sad.” This sadness was probably life’s bitterness.

Then, she coincidentally picked up a piece of candy from under the couch. She was starving at that time, so she vividly remembered the sweetness of the candy.

Ivan stayed silent, but he kept Lilly’s words in his mind. He kept in mind that she liked candy.

The host was still talking non-stop on the stage. After the host finished talking, it was Taylor Entertainment’s person in charge’s turn to speak.

Everyone was looking at the time so they could drag the ribbon-cutting ceremony to 10:18 AM.

The audience knew what happened backstage previously, so they could not help but look at the time.

They wanted to see what gentle light would appear.

“The kid is just joking… The Crawford family dotes on that child more than we can imagine?”

“Gentle light… What nonsense.”

“If Master Sullivan was the one saying it, I might believe it, but it’s a kid we’re talking about. If a gentle light actually appears, I’ll shave my head.”

“Haha, Mr. Evans, you’re going overboard!”

Everyone was discussing and could not help but joke around. It was clear that no one believed Lilly’s words. They even thought the way she moved her fingers just now made her look like a scammer. Who knew what television program did she learn it from?
