Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 63 A Fright In The Toilet

After being so summarily dissed by a chubby four-year-old, Pablo’s face was a study in weary resignation.

Meanwhile, Lilly ran happily to Josh’s room.

Josh and Drake Crawford were the type of children who perfectly embodied the old adage, “Children should be seen and not heard.” Anthony’s busy schedule left him little time to spend with them, and by the time they were six and seven years old, they had already become accustomed to it.

Personality-wise, both brothers were very calm, cool, and collected. Drake was in 2nd grade and fond of the arts. Josh was a year younger and enthusiastic about math and science.

At present, Josh was in his room working on a complicated mathematical equation. Suddenly, he heard an excited knocking on his door, so he looked up and called, “Come in.”

Lilly poked her head in and chirruped sweetly, “Oh Josh!”

Josh wrinkled his brow. Lils was here again, being her usual irritating self. Coldly, he asked, “What do you want to ask this time?” Last time she had asked him how big ten pounds of poop would be. The question was utterly embarrassing, and he had answered extremely unwillingly. He had utilized all the formulas he knew and filled an entire sheet of paper with calculations…and in the end, all she had remembered was, “A bucketful!”

A metal bucket, no less, and not even how many cups or fluid ounces!

Lilly cradled Bunny in her arms and stared at Josh, her face full of happy anticipation. “Josh, when you go to school tomorrow, can I come with you?”

Josh immediately shot back, “Of course not.” There was no way he was bringing her to school with him, ever. He detested someone tagging at his heels. Furthermore, he had to attend classes. He certainly didn’t have time to take her along with him!

Lilly batted her lashes and put on her most pitiful expression. “But Josh…”

Josh impatiently pushed her out of the room. “Go play somewhere and stop bothering me.” With that, he closed the door with a loud bang.

Lilly stared at the closed door and gave a big sigh. She was obviously not being cute enough!

“Erm…” She pondered for a while, then had a brainwave. She should wear a dress, of course! Running back to her room, she changed into a strawberry-print dress and then hurried in search of Josh again.

Knock knock!
