Chapter 278 Only Gilbert Understood Her
Seeing that Liam remained silent, Jean sighed.
Liam was a boring person and rarely spoke even if he had so much to say in his head.
She pretended to be relaxed and said, “Jonas got us some good wine, let’s drink the roof!”
“I’ll call Edward and Gilbert!” Jean went out excitedly as she spoke.
Liam looked at her silently.
He understood her.
She was pretending to be relaxed.
Anthony glanced at him and said, “Let’s go,”
Liam got up and said, “I’ll see,”
The two followed Jean to Edward’s room.
Edward was sleeping soundly. He had his hands behind his head, his legs were curled and it looked
like he was about to fall from the bed.
Jean could not help but smile, and shouted, “Edward!”
She squatted down immediately.
Edward suddenly opened his eyes and looked around drowsily.
Who called him?
He did not see anyone and wondered if he was dreaming.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from under the bed, and Edward looked under it…
A pale hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the bed, and a ghost with long hair crawled out from under
it.
Her hair covered most of her face, and only one of her eyes could be seen staring straight at him.
Edward was taken aback and exclaimed, “Holy cow!”
He jolted up and backed up. Everything on the bedside table fell.
Jean climbed onto the bed, giggled, and reached out to him while crawling, “Edward… Edward… Let’s
drink together!”
Edward was shocked.
He was about to run away, but froze, “Jean?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJean smirked, brushed her hair back, and muttered, “It’s not fun at all. All of you recognized me. It’s my
first time scaring people and you all recognized me,”
“You didn’t even give me a chance to chase you,”

Anthony and Liam who were outside the door were speechless.
Edward replied, “Why don’t you try again, Jean? I’m sure Liam will run after you do it again,”
Jean floated over, hooked Edward’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “I won’t play tricks anymore, Jonas
is waiting on the roof!”
Edward opened his mouth and stared at Jean intently.
Jean was dead…
He could see her now, was he dreaming?
If it was a dream, he wanted to stay in it forever and did not want to wake up.
Seeing that he was distracted, Jean waved her hands and said, “Edward, why are you in a daze? Hurry
up, I’ll call Gilbert!”
After finishing speaking, she hurriedly floated toward Gilbert’s room.
Edward stared blankly at Jean and chased him out.
Then he saw that Anthony and Liam were also at his door, and he hurriedly said, “Anthony, Liam can
you see Jean?”
Anthony nodded, and Liam was silent.
Anthony stopped the two who were about to follow, and said, “Liam go get Jean’s favorite snacks,”
Edward said, “Jonas hid a jug of wine, I took a couple of sips the last time… I’ll find Jonas,”
He did not want Jonas to find out about it so, he hid the wine from him. Jonas must be in a bad temper
if he found it.
In Gilbert’s room, he was fast asleep and suddenly opened his eyes. He saw a ghost in white clothes
with drooping hair floating above him.
Seeing that he woke up, Jean said, “You’re awake… I’ve been waiting for you for too long…”
Gilbert’s pupils shrank, and he was stunned!
The female ghost stretched out her hand and pinched his neck.
“Gilbert… Come down with me… I’m so bored being all by myself…”
Gilbert finally came to his senses and felt a lump in his throat.
Even if he could not see her face, he recognized her voice.
It was his sister, Jean.
He did not know why he was able to see her now.
But looking at her like this, she seemed to be having fun…

Gilbert let out a cry of surprise, fell off the bed, opened the door, and ran out.

“Ghost ghost… There’s a ghost! Help!”
Jean was taken aback.
Huh? How could Gilbert be so scared he ran away?
She immediately chased after him excitedly and giggled.
Anthony was about to call Gilbert but saw his door open, and he ran out with a frightened expression,
“Help… there’s a ghost!”
Jean was floating behind him and giggled, “I died so horribly…I’m so lonely down here… Please keep
me company, Gilbert…”
Gilbert shouted, “Ah!”
Anthony rubbed his forehead, and stopped Jean, “Okay, that’s enough, don’t wake Mom up,”
He said cooperatively, “Gilbert come back, it’s Jean,”
Only then did Gilbert stop, and said in panic, “There’s a… a ghost, Anthony,”
Jean parted her hair and laughed, “It’s me, Gilbert!”
She lay on Anthony’s shoulder and smiled happily, “Did you see it, Anthony? I can finally scare
someone and chase after them!”
Gilbert looked at Jean who was smiling and a hint of distress flashed in his eyes. He cooperated with
her and said, “Jean?”
Jean replied, “That’s right, it’s me!”
Gilbert was speechless.
Edward and Jonas came out from the wine cellar. Edward was holding a jar of wine, and Jonas was
scolding him, “Wow, I can’t believe you drank my wine that I’ve hidden, Edward,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdward chuckled, “I only had a sip, why are you making a big fuss?”
Jonas snorted. He held some peanuts, snacks, and cakes.
Jean leaned on the railing, waved, and said, “Jonas, did you bring pizza?”
Jonas raised his head and saw Jean waving at him from upstairs like she did when she was a kid.
However, she would stick her head out the railings when she was young.
She scared her parents by doing so and they had to narrow the gap of the railing overnight.
Now, she was lying on the railing all grown up, but she still looked like a child.
Jonas’s eyes dimmed, and said warmly, “Of course,”
Jean was satisfied and could not wait to go to the roof.
She floated beside her brothers, chirping.

She said she wanted to get drunk tonight and then asked if ghosts could get drunk.
After a pause, they chattered endlessly, “Anthony, Jonas, and Gilbert, where’s my sister–in–law?”
Her brothers just looked at her and felt their hearts aching from their impromptu gathering.
The main building of the Crawford mansion had five floors. The family usually lived on the second floor,
the third floor was the study room, guest room, and so on.
There was a room on the fourth floor where the old man kept all his antiques. There was a pool table
and a home theater too.
The fifth floor had a balcony and there was a tower that spiraled to the roof.
Jean said that she did not want to go to the balcony but to the roof of the conservatory. When she was
a child, Bettany often scolded her for not wanting to play on the balcony but insisted on climbing up like
a monkey.
They remembered about it and her brothers felt a little depressed.
“I’ll go first,” Edward said.
All of them looked up and saw a small shadow on top of the stairs. She was holding a round object in
her arms and her hair was messy.
“Mom…”
Everyone was shocked.
They saw a child hugging a round object and calling their mother faintly.
All of them were scared out of their wits.
