Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1303

The Mortal World.

Bettany held Jean's hand and said, "I know that you can't stay here forever. When it's time to go back, just go. I’ll be fine."

Jean knelt on the ground, resting her head on Bettany's lap, and cooed, "But I don't want to leave."

Bettany smiled. "Don't trouble Lilly too much. Sometimes, using connections and seeking favors is within the realm of human relationships, but you also have to consider whether you'll bring trouble to others. If too many people ask for favors, it can be burdensome."

Even if the one asking for favors was a family member, certain etiquette had to be followed, and principles had to be upheld. Jean's nose felt a bit stuffy, and she knew that Bettany acted normal every time she sent Lilly away, but she understood more than anyone.

"Mom, don't worry. It's not Lilly pulling strings for me. It's Blake." Jean tilted her head, her chin resting on Bettany's knee, and continued. "He... he's quite capable, even more so than Lilly."

Bettany nodded. "Oh, in that case, stay a few more days."

Blake, who had just come to call Jean back, raised an eyebrow. Hmm, his maternal granddaughter is family, while I’m just an outsider!

However, when he heard Jean say that he was very capable, his mood improved significantly. He said, "She's alone... out there and I'm worried. It's better for her to come back sooner."

Jean thought about it and agreed. Last time, she heard the father-daughter duo say that there was a major traitor in the underworld, as written on Emperor Greenbow’s Stone Scroll. But after all this time, there had been no sign of this individual. No matter how one looked at it, it was unsettling.

Bettany chimed in. "Then we should go back quickly!"

With some time passed, she felt somewhat relieved. Her seventh son had gone down, and with Lilly taking care of him, she didn't have to worry too much. Plus, her son had sacrificed himself for the country, dying a heroic death. She wasn't afraid he wouldn't reincarnate into a good life. That was already good enough, wasn't it?

Bettany continued to nag. "Quinnie’s baby bump is starting to show. Didn't you all discuss coming back for Jonas’ wedding in spring? By then, you can return together with Lilly."

Jean nodded. "Yeah!"

Bettany continued. "Quinnie doesn't know if it's a boy or a girl yet... I need to start preparing clothes now. Matt’s clothes from when he was little can still be worn.”

Jean couldn't help but laugh. "Mom, buy new ones! Our family can afford it!”

Bettany tapped her forehead, saying somewhat exasperatedly, "Do you understand anything? Newborns should wear their older siblings' hand-me-downs. Haven’t you heard that hand-me-downs are better for newborns? The scientific explanation is that old clothes have been washed and sun-dried so many times, there's no residual formaldehyde on them. Newborn skin is delicate, and wearing old clothes is the most comfortable for them."

Jean agreed. "You're right, Mom! Why didn't we prepare old clothes for Matt when he was little?"

Bettany's face carried a smile as she replied. "That's because there was too much of a generation gap between him and his older siblings. Their clothes were all turned into bed sheets by me."

Converting baby clothes into bed sheets was a practical and meaningful way to reuse them without wasting anything. Drake, Josh, Zackary, and Hannah all had their own bed sheets made from old baby clothes. Bettany's only regret was that she couldn't do the same for Lilly.
