Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 202

The Requiem Manuscript was a book that documented the lives and deaths of mortals. Their karma

from the past and present were intertwined. It keeps a record of mortal behavior in the past and future.

Everything is predetermined before a person is even born.

When Pablo flipped the pages of the thin manuscript that recorded the destinies of countless beings,

he found a new line of red text that appeared beneath Lilly’s name and read, “The test of Inner

Demons, cannot rely on external assistance”.

Pablo frowned and thought to himself.

What kind of inner demons could a three-year-old child have? Given that it was in red font, this must be

a serious matter. Not only that, but I couldn’t provide any help either. Worst of all, her foe is a slick

ghost!

Lilly asked, “Master, why is that slick ghost targeting us?”

Uncle Jonas was the first victim, and now Zac is the second.

Pablo shook his head and explained, “He’s not targeting other people, but you.”

Lilly was puzzled.

If it’s targeting me, it should come after me. Why would that ghost go after Uncle Jonas and Zac?

Lilly decided to have a heart-to-heart conversation with that slick ghost later. After all, if one were to be

a ghost, one should be upholding a standard of conduct.

“I need to do a divination to find where that slick ghost is hiding,” Lilly murmured to herself.

…

The little one ran outside and grabbed the tortoise that was enjoying the sun on the rockery near the

garden fountain. When Little Lilly flipped the tortoise around, she exclaimed, “Haha!”

The old tortoise remained calm throughout. It lies flat on all four legs, with its head and tail both resting

comfortably outside of its shell as it narrows its eyes.

Polly stood on the side. The parrot waited for the moment the tortoise extended its head and stretched

its neck to peck at the tortoise.

Lilly grabbed Polly and placed it on her shoulder. She sternly warned, “Polly, you can’t cause trouble,

okay?”

Pablo looked at Lilly, who was squatting and tossing Tortoise in front of it. She appeared sweet and

innocent, and there was no sign of worry in her clear, unclouded eyes.

Maybe things aren’t as serious as I assume?

Mr. Tortoise spun around on the ground and finally came to a stop.

Lilly extended her index finger and made a gesture. She asked, “Mr. Tortoise, that slick ghost is in

South City, right?”

Mr. Tortoise remained silent, but Polly wagged its head as if it had understood everything. Polly

exclaimed, “It says yes, yes, yes!”

“Mm-hmm, I get it now,” Lilly said with a nod.

Pablo was tongue-tied. In actuality, he had haunted that slick ghost all the way to the South City; that

place was its last known location. It appeared as though they had to go there.

…

Bryson went home in the evening of the second day of Midsummer’s Day. The sweet scent of cake

permeated the entire house. The strawberry cupcakes were baked in the oven.

Lilly filled those cupcakes into a small basket. She counted out loud, “One, two, five, ten, eleven.”

Blake held the lid of the oven while he leaned against the kitchen island. He asked, “Can you finish so

many cakes?”

Lilly nodded and answered, “Uncle Bryson said he wants to eat eleven.”

Blake pursed his lips and secretly thought in his mind. Given that he made Lilly work so hard and

personally served him the cake, Bryson had better be able to eat all of it.

Bryson was at the kitchen door. When he overheard this, he could not help but smile. The little one

remembered this clearly.

“Lilly,” Bryson called out to the little girl with a warm and pleasant voice.

Lilly turned around, and she saw Bryson in a pilot’s uniform. Her eyes immediately lit up. She said,

“Wow, Uncle Bryson looks so handsome!”

Blake thought to himself. Tsk, am I not worthy of my daughter’s attention?

Lilly handed the basket to Bryson and looked proud of her achievement. She exclaimed, “Uncle

Bryson, here are eleven cupcakes for you!”

The basket had been completely filled by her.

Bryson could not help but pick Lilly up from the ground. He took out an exquisite little gift box and said,

“I have a gift for you.”

Lilly exclaimed in surprise, “Wow!”

I have a gift.

“Thank you, Uncle Bryson! Uncle Bryson is the best!” Lilly thanked Bryson and gave him a warm neck

hug.

…

Following Pablo’s advice, Lilly mentioned that she wanted to go to South City during dinner.

Bettany quickly put down her spoon and quickly turned it down. She asked, “No way. And you even

plan to travel by yourself? Are you kidding me?”

Lilly explained, “I’m not alone. I’ll travel with Zac.”

The family reached an anonymous opinion when she mentioned Zachary. How absurd would it be for

one child to accompany another child to travel to such a faraway city?

Zachary sneered, “Haha!”

I wouldn’t go even if they asked me to!

After setting his plate and cutlery down, Zachary returned immediately to his room.

When Lilly saw that everyone disagreed with her travel plan, The little girl spoke with the fiercest

expression while using the cutest words. She pulled a long face and pleaded fiercely, “I’m begging you!

Please agree with my request!”

Ultimately, Blake stepped in and succeeded in persuading everyone.

Bettany wheeled herself into Lilly’s room that night. She urged, “Lilly, this is an amulet I inherited from

my great-great-grandmother. I want you to have this.”

It was a mugwort herb bag that was often worn by the babies. Bettany had always considered it a

sentimental heirloom. The herb had no value in itself, but the bag—made with exquisite embroidery by

Bettany’s great, great grandmother—was one of a kind.

“Thank you, Granny!” Lilly expressed her gratitude and kissed Bettany on the cheek.

Lilly reminded her, “Granny, don’t be too eager to stand up! You must hold back until you feel

something with your feet.”

Actually, she was itching to get up and wanted to go for a run, but Bettany lovingly patted her head and

said, “Okay, okay!”

Shortly after, Anthony entered her room with a box. He opened the box and set it in front of Lilly.

Lilly exclaimed, “Wow!”

The box was packed with various items, including yellow paper, talismans, ritual blades, a looking

glass, and a spiritual compass. Lilly found three ritual blades inside the box.

Anthony said, “I didn’t know what you needed, so I randomly bought a few things for you.”

Charlie would definitely ridicule Andrew if he overheard this.

What do you mean by random things? These were all acquired after thorough searches at auctions.

Take the talisman, for example, It was said to have been made by a hermit from special wood pulp, and

each step was meticulously done by himself; it was rumored to be extraordinary. That stack of

talismans is more valuable than a stack of money.

Lilly happily accepted them; they arrived really timely for her.

“Uncle Anthony is truly deserving of being your uncle,” Pablo remarked.

After Anthony left, other family members began to stop by one at a time, each bringing something

different for Lilly. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Zachary continued to play a game while lounging on the couch in Lilly’s room. He finally looked up and

saw that they were still giving Lily gifts.

He smirked.

This is what caring looks like! They take different care of Lilly because they think of her as a real family

member. They used to speak to me gently, but it always felt so fake. They act as though Lilly is leaving

home for a long time, even though she’s gone temporarily.

Zachary was annoyed. He turned off his phone and had a gloomy expression on his face.

I’m such an idiot for making a ridiculous excuse to come to Lilly’s room.

Zachary was about to leave when he overheard Lilly going through the gifts and murmuring, “The

amulet is given by Granny; this is mine, and this one is Zac’s. Uncle Anthony gave me three ritual

blades…”

Zachary was standing off to the side when Lilly looked up. She gave him the most dazzling blade right

away and said, “This one suits you!”

Zachary took a closer look. All of a sudden, he realized that all the gifts they gave to Lilly were in pairs.

Liam even prepared two sets of clothes for him, each neatly folded.

Lilly was putting these things in a suitcase. His belongings took up the majority of the space, while

Lilly’s belongings were tucked away in a tight corner.

Zachary was gobsmacked.

Am I also getting the gifts?
