As soon as Polly set foot on the island, a splashing wave greeted it, giving the bird a disheveled appearance. It quickly retreated into its pet bag, vigorously shaking its feathers.
The sea was proving to be a rather unamusing experience for the lost parrot.
After getting off the boat, Lilly spotted a beach in the distance, her eyes lighting up. She asked her uncle, “What's over there?” Anthony replied, “That's the bay beach. It's the calmest side of the entire island, and there’s a natural bathing area as well.” He glanced behind him and continued, “And this side is the end of the island's cliff, which makes it suitable for ship docking, so it has been developed into a port.” Lilly suddenly realized, “Can | play there now?” No child can resist playing in the sand.
Lilly, Hannah, and Josh's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Zachary looked up, his expression remaining unchanged as he pondered on combat values, magic attacks, and cooldown times in his mind.
Drake wore a cold expression, uninterested in doing activities that only appealed to children.
The next second...
Lilly grabbed Drake's hand and exclaimed, “Let's go, Drake!” Drake was silent before agreeing with her, “Alright.” General was the first to sprint ahead. However, Bailey was like an old dog as he followed behind at a leisurely pace.
Bellflower, on the other hand, was not feeling well. It could have been due to seasickness, but the poor creature huddled inside the luggage, whimpering softly.
Gilbert was carrying various items, Edward was pulling a few suitcases, and Liam had his hands full of fruit and snacks, especially the ones Lilly liked to eat.
Jonas and Bryson had accompanied them back to the hotel to help set up for Lilly's birthday party.
Cloud and Max had to return to their responsibilities after briefly coming back two days ago. Serving the country was their lifelong mission, and although they wished they could stay, they had no choice but to give it up.
Bettany and Hugh walked together, discussing, “We're heading to the hotel first to prepare for Lilly's birthday party. Take good care of Lilly.” Anthony nodded, reassuring them, “Don’t worry.” Bettany added, “I'll leave it to you...” Oh well, let's not dwell on it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBettany cast a glance at Anthony, then left.
Anthony rubbed his nose and followed behind Blake and the others.
The children ran ahead eagerly, while Lisa's feet were not fully recovered, but she no longer had a limp.
“Let me help you with those!” Anthony offered as he saw her struggling to carry several children’s water bottles in her hands.
Lisa sidestepped, holding the water bottles tightly in her arms.
“No... I'm fine,” she replied, “I've got it.” Anthony chuckled, feeling both amused and helpless, so he let her handle the bottles on her own.
Blake and the kids reached the beach.
Lilly happily hopped over and sat down on the sandy shore.
Hannah carelessly knelt on the ground and began digging into the sand.
“Let's build a sandcastle!” General, with his shiny coat, and strong and sturdy limbs, used his front paws to help the little ones in dig holes.
Polly discarded the pet bag, using its beak to unzip it, and curiously peered inside.
Then, he stepped on Tortoise’s shell and urged, “Hey, your hometown is right here! Come out now!” Tortoise withdrew its head, paying no attention to Polly.
However, Polly raised its talons and kicked it hard.
Caught off guard, Tortoise rolled into a hole that General dug.
Polly stuck its head into the hole and shouted, “Bury it! Bury it! Send it back to its hometown!” Lilly chuckled and remarked, “Polly, do you know why the waves slapped you?” Hannah rolled her eyes and commented, “I've never seen a bird this naughty before.” Josh suggested, “Let's stew it!” Polly tilted its head, knowing it was just a joke, but it saved Tortoise in danger before... right? Bailey saved Tortoise and it extended its limbs and lay down on the beach, enjoying the sun as comfortably as possible.
Anthony asked someone to fetch two umbrellas, sat to the side, and began attending to company matters.
Blake, dressed in light clothing and trousers, wore sunglasses while reclining.
What a leisurely and harmonious scene it was. Unfortunately, an uninvited guest interrupted it.
“Uncle, you're here too!” Yena ran over happily, her face full of surprise.
Blake’s expression darkened.
Yena had already reached the front and looked around. “Wow, the weather here is beautiful. Is that Lilly? She looks so adorable!” Blake replied coldly, “Go away. Don’t make me repeat myself.” Even his sunglasses could not conceal the menacing look in his eyes.
Mabel hurriedly arrived and greeted him with a smile, “Oh, it’s Blake...” Blake slowly removed his sunglasses and glanced at her expressionlessly.
Mabel’s heart skipped a beat. Blake held special status, and even officials and leaders did not dare to address him as Blake due to his age and status.
She quickly corrected herself, “Mr... Mr. MacNeil, you're here too.” Yena pretended to be innocent and exclaimed happily, “I'm going to play with Lilly!” Without waiting for Blake or Anthony to respond, she dashed off.
Blake and Anthony remained still.
Yena could not please them, nor Lilly, Josh, and Hannah.
As expected, just as she passed by, General slyly slapped her face with a sandy paw. She was not even welcomed by the dogs.
Mabel stood by cheekily, not daring to approach their umbrellas, refusing to leave stubbornly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYena’s eyes turned red from rubbing them, appearing quite pitiful.
Carrying a small pink bucket, she approached Lilly and timidly called out, “Lilly!” Lilly looked up at her, frowned, and was perplexed.
Why is she here? Why does she have a strange aura coming out of her? Lilly observed her closely, looking at Yena from head to toe.
Seeing her confusion, Yena assumed it was because Lilly had never met her before.
So she offered a sweet smile and said, “Lilly, you've never met me, have you? When you disappeared, | searched for you along with Uncle Blake every day! | never expected you to come back!” She knelt down beside Lilly and happily suggested, “Let's play together!” Drake and Josh remained silent.
Hannah was puzzled while Zachary was speechless.
Polly, still a bit wary of the sea breeze, remained nestled in the pet bag. Upon hearing Yena’s words, it immediately exclaimed, “Wow... who brewed tea! It has such a strong tea aroma. Can | have a cup too?” Poking its head out, it took a glance and exclaimed in shock, “So it's you! You're so wicked at such a young age... Hey, are you pooping? Why do you smell like poop?” Yena instinctively touched her butt, realizing she was feeling a bit embarrassed.
“Sister, what is your parrot talking about...” Yena said with a hint of grievance.
Yena was not a good kid as Polly pointed out. She must not be taught well by her parents.
Before Lilly could respond, a small shovel struck Yena’s face.
Yena was taken aback, and tears immediately welled up! “Why did you hit me...” she choked out.
Hannah held the small shovel, her face displaying a fierce expression. “I've been saying it for a while now, don't let me see you, or I'll hit you every time! Are you now trying to blame me and act like it’s your fault? Do you think you can get away with it?” I'm not letting it slide!” Yena was silent as everyone watched.
However, despite...
It's the first time I've seen someone hitting others rationally...
Lilly learned something new from Hannah once more! MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
