Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 283

After the meal, the children were in the living room, and the eight brothers of the Crawford family chatted on the first floor while watching Lilly play with Hannah.

Bettany looked around, then went upstairs silently.

All of her children were here except for Jean. Lilly was also new to the family.

It was as if nothing had changed, the Crawford family had been quiet for five years, and they were as happy as before.

Jean must have visited them since the 14th of July was right around the corner.

Her children were making delicious food for Jean, and the table was Jean's favorite dish. Everyone would follow Lilly and pray before eating.

She wondered if she could see Jean again in her lifetime.

Bettany returned to her room and stood in front of the window silently. She stared outside.

Hugh put down his glasses and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bettany said silently, "It's nothing,"

Hugh grinned, he never understood her.

Girls were sentimental, but he did not expect girls could be sentimental at that age.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Bettany thought it was one of Anthony and the others knocking on the door.

She fixed her expression and returned to the nagging old woman she was before.

"Who is it?" She asked as she walked out, "Aren't you downstairs? What's wrong, did something happen?"

When the door opened, Bettany's pupils shrank and she was completely stunned!

Hugh noticed that Bettany was silent and she was standing at the door in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

He stood up, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you lose your soul?"

He did not dare to say that she saw a ghost.

But when he walked out and saw the figure outside the door, he was also stunned.

Jean?

Hugh froze, his fingers were stiff, and he did not dare to move.

He must be dazzled.

However, if could see Jean in a daze, he wanted to see her for a little longer…

Bettany's lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.

She stretched out her hand that was trembling and caressed Jean's cheek.

Jean grabbed Bettany's hand, she choked, and said, "Mom..."

Bettany could not hold back any longer, she shed a tear, she was afraid that she would lose sight of Jean, so she quickly wiped it away.

"Jean… You're back?" Bettany touched Jean's cheek, she could not hide her concern as her voice was trembling, "Jean...have you eaten yet?"

Bettany talked to her like she was alive and nagged her, "Are you doing good over there…"

"What do you usually eat? Did you dress well? Is it cold?"

Jean was in tears and she replied softly, "I'm doing good, Mom. I've eaten all the food Lilly offers to me… The gates of hell opened and I came up. I had shrimp noodles, grilled honeycomb, and corndogs made by Jonas and the others,"

"The corndog was good and I've never had salmon before…"

Bettany laughed and cried, "What else do you want to eat, I'll make it for you,"

Initially, Jean wanted to refuse as she was full.

But after thinking about it, she acted coquettishly and said, "Mom, I wanna eat your meatballs, make it extra spicy!"

"I also wanna have chicken feet! Make it so that toothless people can eat them too!"

Bettany was taken aback for a moment, and could not help but snorted. She smiled with tears in her eyes.

She still remembered when Jean was a kid and said she wanted to have chicken feet. She told her that it was no good for her and the reason why they were boneless was because some toothless people gnawed them out.
