Bettany asked, "Who is it?"
Lilly said truthfully, "It's Ivan. He..."
She could not say that Ivan had come to deliver the elixirs, so she said in a panic, "He was passing by and came to greet me."
Bettany complained, "He's already at the door. Why don't you ask him to come in and sit for a while?"
Lilly smiled naughtily. "He was in a hurry, so he only greeted and left."
Bettany felt strange. Why did Ivan come over if he was in a hurry? There was something wrong with that kid.
Bettany was suspicious but did not ask any more questions.
Everyone spent most of the time eating, sleeping, or walking around during the New Year.
King of Styx liked days like this the most. It was perfect for him! He enjoyed it!
Some people came to visit the Crawford Mansion. The Crawford Mansion was lively and busy, and the fourth day of the New Year passed quickly.
Quinnie came over to greet the Crawford family, and her eyes lit up when she saw Lilly. "Wow, Lilly! You've grown up!"
She missed Lilly so much. When she first met Lilly, Lilly was still a cute little sweetie!
Quinnie hugged Lilly.
Lilly was also surprised. "Quinnie... Aunt Quinnie! Are you pregnant?"
Quinnie's belly was already slightly bigger. She smiled shyly. "Yes, it's already been four months..."
Lilly said happily, "Wow, Matt! Another baby is coming soon!"
Matthan responded, "Eh!"
Everyone could not help but laugh.
Lilly greeted them all politely, "Grandpa Osmond, Grandma Eloise! Happy New Year! I wish you good health and all the best!"
Quinnie's parents, Osmond Woods and Eloise Tyler were smiling and stuffing gift bags for Lilly. "Lilly, Happy New Year! Wish you all the best!"
"Thank you!" Lilly took the gift bag. Collecting money was good. She liked collecting money the most!
"Grace! Happy New Year!" Lilly looked at Grace with a smile.
Grace responded, "Happy New Year." She also took out a gift bag expressionlessly. "This is for you."
Then, she emphasized, "It's not that I want to give it to you. My parents insist on asking me to prepare it."
Lilly grinned. "I understand! You use Grandpa Osmond and Grandma Eloise as an excuse!"
Grace's brows twitched, and she snorted.
