Pablo's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Lilly in awe.
No way, is this just a coincidence?
He cleared his throat and said, "Return her to the jar. Do you still remember the soul-shifting spell, if you don't…"
Before Pablo could finish his words, Lilly raised her hand and grabbed something from the window.
In no time, the Female Spirit returned to the jar.
Pablo touched his nose subconsciously.
What kind of sorcery is this…
Then, Liam handed over a round glass that contained milk, "Drink it, Lilly."
Lilly took the glass politely and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liam!"
He grinned at Lilly proudly.
Even though he has two children of his own, he rarely spend time with his children. He admitted that he was not a good father.
He felt guilty when thinking of his own children. He petted Lilly's head gently and asked mindlessly, "Lilly, do you think I should get a divorce with Aunt Winona?"
Lilly looked at him and asked innocently, "Uncle Liam, why do people marry if they are going to divorce anyway?"
She knew what "divorce" meant. It was a term that was frequently brought up by her father.
At that time she was still too young and did not really understand the meaning of it. However, she finally understood now; to divorce is to marry a new woman.
Lilly did not understand the ways of adults. It was their own decision to marry a person at first, why would they change their mind in the end?
Liam was startled by her question and did not know how to answer her.
He pursed his lips and said softly, "Well, it's because Aunt Winona was pregnant with Zachary back then."
Liam knew that it was a conscious choice he made, but the only thing that Liam was upset about was that he had no idea that he was cheated on until after Hannah was born.
At that time, Jean was extremely sick and even went missing. He did not have the right mind to think that much.
Lilly frowned and asked, "Why was Aunt Winona pregnant with Zachary? Do you like Aunt Winona?"
Liam shook his head, "No, I don't love her… I guess!"
Lilly was silenced by his reply and stared angrily at him.
He was creeped out by her aggressive staring and asked why.
"You don't love Aunt Winona, but she gave birth to your son, Zachary. Are you the so-called f*ckboy?" Lilly asked with a poker face.
Liam was stunned by the question and did not know what to say, "Uh…"
"It's fine, Uncle Liam. I understand." Lilly petted Liam's back compassionately.
Liam was extremely confused by her instant change in opinion.
Uh, she is a child. What does she know?
Just as he was going to say something, Edward came back from the construction site.
"Lilly, come here, sweet pea!"
Edward stretched his arms and was going to carry Lilly without taking off his safety helmet, not to mention that he was also drenched in sweat.
"Go clean yourself." Liam slapped away his hands.
Edward ignored Liam and carried Lilly out of the office.
"Lilly, isn't it too boring here? Let's go, I'll bring you to the construction site!" Edward said excitedly.
He did his inspection at the construction site just now. Now that he was done with work, all he wanted was to show her off to his colleagues.
Liam disagreed with him, "It's too dangerous for kids, and it's for employees only!"
Edward said playfully, "Our darling is an employee as well. She's our little CEO!"
"That's right, I am an employee!" Lilly nodded proudly.
