Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 25 Dumbfounded

Cheryl knew her mother was happy, and she was happy too.

She took a deep breath and summoned up her courage to walk up to Lawrence.

”Hi, Mr. Lambert. I’m Cheryl. I like your paintings very much. You’re my idol!”

It was only then that Lawrence noticed Cheryl. He nodded and said, “Thank you, little girl!”

Although Lawrence did not like social activities, he was a kind and approachable person.

Cheryl was very happy. She thought it was because Lawrence liked her.

Just when she was about to say something, Lily, who had changed her clothes, came down the stairs. She was holding a few paintings in her hands.

Holding her hand, Gilbert introduced. “That old man is Mr. Lambert.”

Lily nodded and walked up to Lawrence. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lamber,” she said.

Hearing that, Lawrence was stunned. He guffawed and said, “Nice to meet you too! My dear!”

Young small kids usually called him Grandpa Lawrence, but Lily called him Mr. Lambert seriously instead. He was amused.

Lawrence then raised his hand and touched Lily’s hair ribbon. “How old are you?” he asked.

Lily did not answer immediately. She took a glance at Hugh.

What’s wrong with this old man? I’m celebrating my four-year-old birthday today. Surely, I’m four years old. Why is he still asking me?

After thinking for a while, Lily still answered obediently, “Mr. Lambert, it’s my four-year-old birthday party today. I’m four years old now.”

Hearing that, Lawrence was stunned.

He suddenly felt that he was being looked down upon by a kid. He could not help grinning and nodded. “Yes! You’re right. Look how silly I’m.”

“It’s okay. Sometimes, I’m silly too!” Lily replied with a smile.

In fact, Lily wanted to say sometimes she asked silly questions too. Nonetheless, she did not know how to express her words since no one taught her. The choice of words she used was limited.

However, Lawrence found her cute and innocent and liked her even more.

Standing aside, Cheryl felt unhappy as Lily stole the limelight.
