The people who doubted Lilly when she told the fortune suddenly felt as if they were slapped in the face. They looked embarrassed.
Someone said, "It's unbelievable… If it was a coincidence, how could it be so accurate? It's exactly 10:18 AM!"
"It isn’t something that can be predicted by a normal human…"
"I think it's impossible. I'll believe it Master Sullivan said it, but the girl from the Crawford is so little…"
They thought Lilly was only speaking nonsense and that everything had only been a coincidence. Otherwise, it would be too unbelievable.
Some people were shocked, and some were doubtful, but Lilly sat in her seat quietly, unaffected by them at all.
After the ribbon-cutting ended, the host gave a thank you speech, and the audience stood up. Anthony and the people in charge of Taylor Entertainment were surrounded, so they could not return to their seats.
Naturally, a big shot like Colton was also surrounded. Everyone seized the chance to get in touch with him.
Colton instructed Ivan softly, "Take care of Lilly."
Ivan did not show any expression as he nodded blankly.
He paid attention when talking to Lilly but was perfunctory when talking to his father. Even Colton was speechless about this!
Lilly held Charlie's hand and said happily, "Mr. Brown, let's go! I want to eat cakes!"
Ivan put his hands in his pockets cooly and followed behind Lilly.
"Cakes, cakes…" Lilly's eyes lit up when she saw the little cakes on the refreshment table. She tiptoed, but she was still not tall enough to reach them…
As Charlie was about to help her take it, a small hand reached out from the side. Ivan took a little piece of cake and handed it to her. "Here."
Lilly happily thanked Ivan. She held the cake carefully as she sat on the couch and took a bite.
"It's so sweet! It's even sweeter than first love!" Lilly nodded, looking as if she knew everything.
Charlie laughed and asked, "Do you know what first love is?"
Lilly mumbled as she ate the cake, "I don't know! The old man who sells watermelons always says this."
She imitated how the old man waved his hand. "Come over, come over! Fresh watermelons! They're sweeter than first love! After you eat my watermelons, you'll forget about him!"
Charlie could not help but laugh out loud.
Seeing Lilly's chubby face, he could not help but want to pinch her! She was so adorable!
Ivan turned over, and he was also cute… However, that was all.
Charlie thought that way in his heart, but he could not help but look around to see if there was any more strawberry cake.
Lilly ate happily as she tilted her head and looked at Charlie. She suddenly asked, "Mr. Brown, why are you called Chulie?"
Charlie laughed. He took a piece of wet tissue to wipe the cream off Lilly's mouth like a mother as he said, "It's Charlie, not Chulie! Cha-a-lee."
Lilly then asked, "What does Cha-a-lee mean?"
Ivan then said with a serious expression, "It's the pronunciation."
Lilly had not been to kindergarten yet, so she did not have much knowledge. She finally understood. "Oh! Pronuciation…"
When Ivan thought she finally understood, she asked again, "What's pronunciation?" He was rendered speechless.
Charlie could not help but say, "You'll understand once you reach elementary school!"
Lilly nodded as she understood what he said. She kept the words "elementary school" in her mind. Ivan must be that clever because he has been to school. Josh too. He knows how much 10 pounds of poop is…because he has been to school. School is amazing!
