Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Chapter 279 Mommy Can't Afford to Lose Edward climbed up the stairs and when he looked up, he saw a pair of tiny feet. Then, he saw a child with messy hair.

“Oh my goodness!” Edward's feet went limp and fell down the stairs.

His pupils shrank.

Jonas saw Edward falling, rushed toward him, and caught the wine jar.

Edward was relieved when he caught it and fell to the ground.

Jonas was relieved and said, “Thank goodness you caught it...” Edward was speechless.

Don’t you care about your younger brother falling at all? Anthony looked at the small figure on the roof, and asked in surprise, “Lilly?” Jean was also taken aback as she thought that Lilly was asleep.

She was sure she put Lilly to sleep earlier! Jean floated up nervously and asked, “Why are you here? How did you get up? Are you hurt?” Lilly shook her head and said, “I dreamed that all my uncles and mommy eating snacks here, so | came here,” However, she did not see them when she came up and thought that they had already finished eating. Just as she was about to go down, she heard Edward's voice.

Anthony climbed up, hugged Lilly, and said, “Don’t you dare climb up here alone the next time, okay?” Gilbert also came up, and was afraid for a moment, “You little brat, what if you fell down the fifth floor?” Jonas followed behind and held the wine, he added, “You're bold like your mother,” Liam's face was tense, there was only a small fence that came up to Lilly's chest on the balcony. She would fall if she leaned on it. It was really scary.

He was thinking of changing the stairs into a folding ladder. That was, only adults could pull it down and fold it when not in use.

Otherwise, it would be dangerous for children...

While Liam was thinking about changing the ladder, others were concerned about Lilly. Meanwhile, Edward was still lying on the ground.

“Hey, don't you care about me?” Jonas glanced at him, “Your skin is thick enough, why would we need to care about you?” Edward fell from two steps, it was like he fell from the chair.

Seeing that he could still talk, why should they care about him? Did he want people to help him up? Edward kept quiet.

He rubbed his nose, got up, and muttered, “My younger brother is worthless!” Edward patted his hips, brushed his hair, and climbed up the stairs. Then, he sat down and sat next to Lilly.

The conservatory was made of toughened glass, which was bulletproof and explosion—proof. They sat on the roof, and their feet looked like they were hanging. They looked at the sky, the moon was glowing and the stars were scattered around it. The sky was clear and blue.

“Ah... It's been a long time since | saw the moon,” Jean lay on the ground, slumped on the glass, and looked at the moon grinning.

Lilly lay down after her, she put the rabbit aside, spread the rabbit's hands, feet, and—cars, and said excitedly. “Lie down! Lie down!” Jean snorted, “Who taught you this phrase?” Lilly leaned into Jean’s arms and said, “It was Daddy!” Jean sneered, what was he teaching? Following Lilly's instructions, Anthony made an offering table and placed the turkey and noodles that Jean wanted to eat, as well as some snacks and a glass of wine on it.

They then prayed.

Jean could smell the aroma of the wine, and quickly got up, “Wow, what wine is that? It smells great!” Jonas said, “I brought it back from an ancient city when | was filming a movie,” He watched Jean leaning in front of the wine glass with a curious look.

He poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and added, “An old lady made this. She made it traditionally instead of the modern way.

The wine was fermented with roses and grapes,” Jean took a sip and exclaimed, “It's delicious! Grapes and roses sound a bit irrelevant, but they taste surprisingly good together.” Everyone in the Crawford family took a sip of it and savored it so they could taste what Jean tasted.

Only Edward drank it all at once and smacked his mouth, “It's pretty underwhelming and tasteless,” Jonas ignored him and kicked him aside.

If it wasn’t that good, then why'd you drink it behind my back? Anthony smiled faintly, “I think this wine is about seven to eight degrees and there's a hint of flowers and fruits in it. It's suitable for girls,” Seeing that Jean did not seem to be able to smell the aroma of the wine, he thought that she must have finished her drink.

Anthony picked up the glass of wine and He poured more wine for Jean.

He never thought that they could drink together again after their sister died....

Lilly was playing around while everyone was drinking and chatting.

Suddenly, Anthony noticed something amiss.

Lilly grabbed the rabbit and ran over from the side then fell into Liam’s arms.

Liam called her, “Lilly?” Edward was stunned, “Why is she walking crookedly?” Gilbert's expression froze, “Something's wrong with her walking posture!” Lilly got up from Liam’s arms and held up her hand that was holding a wine glass.

“Wow, that was yummy!” She shook her head immediately and corrected, “No, it's a good drink!” Everyone was stunned.

This, this, when did Lilly drink the wine? Gilbert quickly pinched her cheek, “Lilly, you're a kid, you're not supposed to drink alcohol!” Lilly thought that roses and grapes were delicious, it was a little sweet, and cold... Now she felt dizzy.

“Why can’t children drink?” Lilly hiccupped: “Why can’t children do things that adults can do?” “Why can’t children do anything?” Everyone was speechless.

Gilbert rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Alcohol is not good for children’s brain development! Children will become dumb if they drink alcohol,” Lilly pouted.

“You're lying, Uncle Gilbert. | just drank it and I'm still smart! I'm very smart!” She continued. “I'm a hundred times smarter than Polly and the lady on the moon!” Everyone femained silent.

Lilly was drunk! Jean thought it was funny, and stretched out a finger, “Lilly, what number am | showing?” Lilly grabbed Jean's finger, “You can’t fool me, Mom! It's one!” Jean raised her eyebrows, “What about this?” She stretched out two fingers and showed three fingers again.

When Lilly was about to answer, she quickly changed three fingers into two.

Lilly was speechless.

She looked at Jean suspiciously and said, “You can’t afford to lose, can you, Mommy?”
