Anthony understood the situation. Lilly had returned hastily and was not dressed appropriately for the season.
She must have come back with Ivan. If he was not mistaken, this coat should belong to Ivan.
But didn't Ivan come back earlier?
Anthony looked silently at the front door and asked, "Is Ivan coming in for a meal?"
Since he was already at the doorstep, it wouldn't hurt to have a meal together before leaving.
Lilly waved her hand and said, "He said he wanted to rush back home. Mrs. Shaw has prepared dinner, and he's afraid she will wait too long."
Anthony nodded. Lilly came back with Ivan as expected.
However, he wasn't too concerned. He knew very well that Lilly was single-minded and treated Ivan like a brother. They were probably just good friends.
As for Ivan... Anthony didn't want to mention it for now.
He remained silent while Matthan kicked and made a fuss. "Lilly! Lilly! Hug me!"
Lilly looked at him in surprise and said, "You can talk now!"
She was about to reach out and hug Matthan, but Josh took the opportunity and rushed forward before embracing Lilly tightly.
Hannah was a step behind, but she didn't mind. She forcefully joined in the embrace.
The two of them hugged Lilly and cried, "Lilly... You're back, Lilly... I've learned a new skill for bypassing firewalls. I'll demonstrate it to you later!"
Lilly was speechless.
"Lilly!" Josh sobbed. "You're finally back! I've leveled up. I'm now a fully upgraded Amysmodeus!"
Lilly exclaimed, "Wow! Josh, you're amazing!"
However, being a fully upgraded Amysmodeus in the Human Realm was just the beginning of the Underworld. It meant that he could start traveling between the Underworld and the Human Realm.
Now, the two of them were almost the same height. Lilly praised him and patted his back.
Josh and Hannah refused to let go of Lilly. She was almost losing her balance. They had only taken a few steps inside the house, but they were pulling her so much that she couldn't enter.
Bettany looked at the children and couldn't bear to look away. She kept nagging. "Go inside first. Hurry up!"
Drake sneered. "How old are you? Aren't you embarrassed?"
He handed Matthan over, and Matthan immediately hugged Lilly's neck. Lilly had no choice but to hold him tightly.
Josh and Hannah were squeezed to the side, and Drake took the opportunity to stand next to Lilly and said, "Go inside quickly!"
Lilly saw Zachary standing silently on the side and smiled brightly. "Zachary!"
Zachary immediately smiled and nodded. "Mm!"
Lilly then called out one by one. "Uncle Anthony, Uncle Max, Uncle Gilbert!"
Max said, "Hey! Lilly!"
Gilbert said, "Come in quickly."
In the living room, Hugh couldn't help but stand up and walk quickly to the entrance hall with a stern face while saying, "Why can't you say whatever you have to say inside? Why are you all pulling Lilly?"
Bryson didn't look away. He wanted to laugh but did not dare to. Liam spoke little as always, but his face showed the gentleness left by the passing years.
Lilly entered the house while holding Matthan and walked up to Hugh. She hugged him using one hand and said happily, "Grandpa! I'm back!"
Hugh wanted to say something, but it seemed like there was sand in his eyes, so he could only repeat. "Good! Good! It's good that you're back!"
