Chapter 280 Covering Her Head With a Basket
Jean was taken aback for a moment and burst out laughing.
She pinched Lilly’s nose, “How smart!”
Lilly put her arms on her waist and said proudly, “Of course I am!”
Anthony smirked, and the brothers looked at Jean and Lilly with affection.
Lilly grabbed a handful of turkey and stuffed them into Jean’s mouth, “Here you go, Mommy!”
Jean, “I can’t eat like this… Huh?”
I can eat!
It turned out that the turkey that Lilly grabbed transformed and allowed her to eat.
“It’s delicious!” Jean’s eyes brightened.
Lilly grabbed the cake and stuffed it into Jean’s mouth, “Mommy, have some cake!”
Before Jean finished eating, Lilly scooped up a spoonful of peanuts, “Mommy, open your mouth,”
After feeding Jean the peanuts, Lilly picked up another piece of fruit.
She stuffed everything into Jean’s mouth!
Jean coughed.
Upon seeing her coughing, Lilly quickly picked up a glass of wine, “Drink up, Mommy!”
Jean almost choked and swallowed. She said helplessly, “Lilly, you…”
However, Lilly tilted her head and fell asleep in Anthony’s arms.
Lilly fell asleep in seconds and she was still holding the wine glass.
Jean was silent.
Anthony looked at Lilly helplessly and laid her down.
Gilbert folded then took off his coat and covered Lily with it.
Edward asked worriedly, “Is it okay for her to sleep like this? It’s a bit cold at night,”
Liam silently took the bamboo basket containing snacks and put it on Lilly’s head.
The bamboo basket was flat but Jonas picked the largest one because they needed to carry snacks.
It could be considered a basket for the time being…
The bamboo basket was like a small umbrella, covering Lilly’s head.

Chapter 280 Covering Her Head With a Basket
Everyone was silent.
Liam added, “Is there something wrong?”
Jean looked at Lilly whose head was covered by a bamboo basket, and her mouth twitched.
“Liam, I think you need to prop the basket up with something,”
Liam replied, “Uhm…”
Edward handed over a pair of slippers, “Use this,”
The brothers stared at each other, “Step aside!”

Jean laughed, “Edward, do you wanna make her uncomfortable? What do you think would happen if
the slipper fell on Lilly’s face and all she could smell is your stinky feet!”
Edward said embarrassingly, “My feet don’t smell…”
Anthony stretched out one leg, let Lilly lean against him, and supported the bamboo basket on his leg.
“Let’s do this for the time being! We’ll take her back when we’re done,”
Jean nodded, took another breath, and sighed, “Hey, she still smells like wine!”
Lilly was not asleep, she knocked the bamboo basket aside and Anthony picked her up.
After a while, Gilbert took Lilly from Anthony’s arms, and after a while, it was Liam’s turn to hold her.
Everyone held Lilly carefully but they did not want the gathering to end. So, they refused to go down
until the wine was finished.
How could they leave when they were reunited with Jean?
They wished that the night could be longer and for the moon to glow a little longer.
Finally, when they finished the wine and snacks, everyone lay reluctantly on the roof while chatting.
Even if there were thousands of stars in the future, they would never forget this night as they would
never see each other again.
There was a slender figure in the dark corner of the stairs.
Blake watched silently.
Jean smiled as she talked about her childhood.
She had a gentle and feminine face, but there was a trace of mischievousness in her eyes.
Turned out Lilly got most of her personality from her mother, Jean.
To Blake, Jean was just a pretty girl in the photo and the mother of his child.
However, she was alive in his eyes and Blake remembered her.
Good.
Blake glanced at Lilly who had fallen asleep drunk, and finally gave up on the idea of bringing her
down. He did not want to disturb the Crawford siblings‘ reunion, so he left quietly.
Eventually, everyone feli asleep in the morning. Lilly, who was asleep in Gilbert’s arms, turned over and
spread her limbs then, snoring like a pig.
The bamboo basket slipped from Anthony’s lap and covered Lilly’s head.
The sky was getting brighter, and Bettany woke up.
“I didn’t get much sleep, I guess I’m old,”
Bettany looked at Hugh, who was sleeping soundly and took the opportunity to kick him.
Hugh turned over and continued to sleep.
He had regular sleep patterns. He would sleep at ten o’clock in the evening and could fall asleep
immediately.
As soon as the alarm clock rang at 6.30 in the morning, he would get up and have no fatigue.
Bettany looked at the time and it was only six o’clock. It was still early.
She got dressed, went to Lilly’s room as usual, and checked up on her.
She would usually see if Lilly kicked the blanket away. The air conditioner was still on and it was chilly
in the morning…
Bettany thought that Lilly would be cold…
When she approached Lilly’s bed, she realized that Lilly was missing!
Bettany’s heart skipped a beat, and she panicked, “Lilly’s gone?”
She went to Hannah’s room in a hurry.
Hannah was fast asleep but Lily was not there.
Did she go to Zachary and Josh’s room?
Bettany searched the children’s rooms, but Lilly was still missing!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wanted to find Anthony, but he was missing as well!
After checking several rooms, she realized that everyone was missing.
Bettany panicked.
She returned to her room and woke Hugh up.
Hugh did not wake up, he turned over and continued sleeping.
Bettany said angrily, “Do you only know how to sleep? Lilly’s missing!”
Hugh opened his eyes suddenly and got up. He grunted, “What? Lilly’s missing?”
Bettany was speechless.
She cursed and looked for Lilly everywhere.
She was not in the study room, nor the guest rooms on the third floor.
Lilly was not in the theater on the fourth floor and not under the pool table either.
She was not on the balcony on the fifth floor either.
Hold on…
Bettany raised her head and saw five to eight people lying on the roof disorderly.
Lilly was the smallest figure among them.
There was a bamboo basket on her head.
Bettany was furious. How could they let a child sleep on the roof?
Instead of covering her with clothes and blankets, they even put a bamboo basket on her head!
The night was cold and she was afraid that Lilly might catch a fever.
What if she fell off the roof?
How could adults be as ignorant as children?
Bettany was mad.
As soon as Hugh came up, he saw Bettany climbing the stairs leading to the conservatory like a
monkey.
Hugh could not help but open his mouth,
Bettany was paralyzed and could recently stand up, how could she have the strength to climb up the
stairs?
