Chapter 487 It’s Cold, Let’s Talk in My Room
Hugh fell silent, his gaze fixed on the news, as he casually asked. “What are your ns with Lisa?
Would you like to renew the marriage certificate? And perhaps have another wedding?”
Considering Anthony had never been married before. Hugh believed that getting married was a
significant life event. If Anthony desired it, he and his wife could organize a wedding for him.
Anthony responded lightly, “No need,”
After a brief pause, he continued, “I will obtain a legal document from her.”
Since her return, she had been fixated on Josh and Drake. She would remain at Crawford Mansion for
some time.
Shecked her former intelligence, but having a specific identity could shield her from various troubles.
If she were to awaken in the future and wanted to leave the Crawford family, Anthony could divorce her
at
any time.
That was the only option avable to him at the moment.
Hugh nodded in acknowledgment, saying, “Alright.”
Anthony thought about something and said, “On Lilly’s fifth birthday next year, I n to take her to
Saffron Ind,”
Hugh quickly responded, “Why are you taking her there? Don’t you think we wanna go as well?”
Anthony replied quietly, “I didn’t say that. We’ll go together,”
Relieved. Hugh resumed watching the news.
Time seemed to pass swiftly as if it were only yesterday that the little one had returned to Crawford
Mansion, yet she was going to be five years old.
It felt like she was just three years old when she came into their lives…
Lost in his thoughts, Hugh heard a distinct sound. Anthony and Hugh looked up, their hearts skipped a
beat.
Standing on the stairs was a pale, rigid woman with long, straight ck hair, her gaze fixed directly
upon
them.
Anyone would be scared if they saw her like this!
Hugh managed to regain hisposure, although a lingering sense of unease still crept within his
heart.
It was no wonder the old woman had been terrified. Having such a daughter-inw.
Hugh shook his head, only to see Bettany stepping out of the dining room. As her gaze fell upon Lilly
standing on the stairs, her hands trembled in fear.
“Get up Bettany said, her voice trembling ‘Come downstairs and have your meal,”
Lisa remained motionless for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand and waved it vigorously,
uttering.
“Ha… hahaha! Fork… off!”
Anthony. Hugh, and Bettany were dumbfounded.
Who had taught her such words?
Come out!
Bettany’s realization struck her in astonishment, and Polly immediately came to mind. She could only
imagine that Lilly had learned those words from Polly after hearing Josh mention them.
Only Polly could teach such things!
Bettany’s smile grew gentle, “Has Polly woken up yet?”
Birds sleep and wake up early. Polly must have awakened and was probably ying on the balcony of
the second floor.
Suddenly, Polly realized someone was talking about it.
It sounds like Bettany…
With a swift flutter, Polly darted back to its room in the tropical rainforest, holding the door of his iron
cage in his beak, securing it shut. As if still feeling uneasy, he fetched a small wooden stick and ced
it in front of the gate.
Lilly was roused by themotion. Having gone to bed early the night before, she had already had
enough sleep and promptly got up. She looked around in a daze, feeling a chill in the air. Hurriedly, she
wrapped herself in a small nket and curled up on the bed like a little caterpir.
“It’s so cold!” Lilly looked out the window, “Isn’t the sun out today?”
After sitting there for a while, Lilly threw off the nket and swiftly made her way to the closet to put on
her clothes and pants. She hurriedly washed up and felt a little hungry.
“Hey, where’s Polly?” Before leaving the room, Lilly suddenly realized that something was amiss today.
Normally, when she woke up, Polly woulde over and talk to her.” Why was there no sign of the bird
today?
From a distance, Polly’s voice called out, “It’s too cold! Come and chat with me under the covers!”
Lilly was now relieved and happily dashed downstairs, throwing herself into Bettany’s arms
“Good morning, Grandma!” Lilly lifted her head and hugged Bettany affectionately. I obediently faced
the wall and thought about my mistakesst night. Isn’t that great?”
Bettany could not help but find it amusing. How seriously did she think about her mistakes? She patted
Lilly’s head and replied. “That’s wonderful! Our Lilly is the best. Now hurry up and eat
“It’s cold outside, so you need to have something warm… I’ve made soy milk, and it’s still warm”
The Crawford family seldom had Western-style breakfasts like pastries, sds, and sandwiches.
Bettany believed in the benefits of a hot breakfast, especially soy milk, steamed buns, porridge, and
meats, which were nourishing and healthy.
Lilly skipped over to the dining room and obediently greeted everyone, “Good morning, Grandpa, good
morning. Uncle Anthony and Aunt Lisa!”
All eyes were on Lilly ever since she appeared, observing her as she greeted Bettany.
Lisa held the drumstick tightly in her hand, gazing down at it for a moment. Then, with effort and
clumsiness, she managed to utter, “Go…morning.”
Lilly corrected her, saying. “It’s good morning,”
The little girl’s voice had a soft and gentle ending sound, sounding sweet and mellow.
Lisa stared at Lilly’s mouth, her lips twitching, and finally managed to say, “Good Morning.”
It took her a while, but she seemed astonished by her own words.
Lilly immediately gave her a thumbs up without hesitation, eximing. That’s right! Aunt Lisa is really
smart, you’re even smarter than Polly!”

Lisa, holding the chicken leg in her left hand and the steamed bun in her right hand, looked at Lilly’s
radiant smile with a hint of surprise.
She tried her best to smile, but unfortunately, she could not make an expression.
She simply stored the words, “good morning” in her memory, secretly acknowledging her progress.
Anthony handed a cup of soy milk to Lilly, adding a spoonful of sugar, and said gently. “Here you go!”
Lilly cagerly took the cup, eximing, “Wow, it’s delicious!”
Lisa silently thought to herself. “I think I know what this means,”
As Lilly took a few sips of the soy milk, she turned her head and noticed that her two older brothers had
alreadye downstairs. With the soy milk still her mouth, she waved enthusiastically at them.
Lisa was silent for a momen, her gaze hxed on Josh as he approached, and finally, she clumsily
uttered, “Good morning”
Josh was taken aback for a moment, then a smile of delight spread across his face!
