Spoiled (Lily)

Chapter 123

Lilly looked at Blake with a conflicted expression.

It was not her fault to think this way because Blake used to be too arrogant.

But now he was bowing his head as if he had done something wrong.

Lilly said, “I don’t have much pocket money. But don’t worry, Daddy. I can borrow from Uncle if we don’t

have enough money.”

And then, she worked hard to pay off the debt.

What was that saying again? Oh… A daughter paid off her father’s debt.

Blake could not help but laugh softly, “Lilly, I don’t owe any money. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought Lilly did not want a dad like him anymore.

But he did not expect her to say she wanted to help him pay off his debt.

Lilly looked puzzled and asked, “Daddy, what’s wrong with you? A young man shouldn’t be gloomy and

downcast.”

Blake was smiling. He squatted by the bed and looked at Lilly.

“Yesterday, that female spirit said something about me. Aren’t you afraid of me, Lilly?”

Lilly shook her head and said, “I trust you, Daddy. You’re not that kind of person. Grandpa and Uncle

Anthony both say you’re an angel, not a devil.”

Blake was taken aback. His heart was filled with warmth and softness.

“Thank you, Lilly.” Blake reached out and lightly tapped her nose.

Lilly immediately covered her nose, giggling, “You’re welcome!”

Although Lilly trusted him completely, Blake felt it necessary to explain.

He sat on the edge of the bed, stretched lazily, and lay down, saying very relaxedly, “Come here, let’s

lie down together.”

Lilly immediately lay down, her head resting on Blake’s shoulder.

She stretched out her legs and spread out her hands.

Blake rested his hands behind his head and said, “I went on a task some time ago. I can’t tell you what

the task is. Lilly, you’d remember that I will never do anything that goes against the country and the

people.”

Lilly nodded in agreement.

Blake continued, “A bomb inside her body controlled that girl.”

He briefly introduced it with a few words, but the bomb inside the girl’s body was not an ordinary bomb.

It was a suicide bomb implanted inside her body.

Otherwise, it would not have been impossible for him to remove it.

The little girl was only seven years old, very thin and weak, and looked only slightly older than Lilly.

She witnessed how her parents and sister died. She should have used his sympathy to blow him up.

But at the last moment, she cried and told him she did not want to die.

“I told her to hide in the car first.” Blake stared at the roof, saying. “I also promised her that I would save

her.”

“But I broke my promise.”

The situation was critical, and he made a mistake. The terrorist leader climbed onto the SUV.

“My shot didn’t hit the little girl, only the bad guy. But unfortunately, the little girl also followed and

died… so the female spirit last night didn’t tell the whole story.”

Lilly understood and muttered, “I knew it. That ghost is too bad.”

Lilly looked up at Blake and asked softly, “Daddy, are you sad?”

Blake’s voice became husky, “Yes. I’m not strong enough.”

Lilly looked at his daddy, somewhat trance-like. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

So, Daddy was just like her? He also felt uncomfortable and stuffy.

“Will Daddy continue to be a guardian?” Lilly suddenly asked.

Blake looked down at her and nodded firmly, “Yes.”

Before, he only did it for the country because he was alone and had no worries.

Now he understood the meaning of guardianship even more.

He cared about her daughter.

Where there was a country, there was a home, and he wanted Lilly to grow up freely under the

sunshine.

Lilly seemed a bit confused and asked in a muffled voice, “Won’t you feel sad if you see those bad

things in the future?”

Blake smiled and replied, “Yes, I will, but it’s okay. What each of us does has its meaning.”

“Before, when I returned from work, I would eat a big ice cream… and then all the unhappy things

would be forgotten.”

Lilly suddenly understood, and the oppressive feeling in her heart disappeared instantly.

“Yeah!” Lilly turned over, got up, raised her thumb, and pressed it on Blake’s forehead like a seal,

saying, “Daddy is awesome!”

“Let’s work hard together!”

Blake laughed softly, lifted his arm, picked up Lilly, and tickled her on her shoulder.

Lilly laughed so hard that she could not catch her breath, shouting, “Action beam, biu!”

Blake pretended to be shot and fell to the side, “Uh…I lost!”

Blake pretended to be shot and fell to the side, “Uh…I lost!”

Lilly immediately got up and tickled Blake.

While the two were having fun, Bettany pushed the door open.

“What are you doing!” Bettany glared at him and said, “You’re an adult, yet still so childish. What if she

can’t breathe if she laughs too hard?”

Blake sat up straight soon. “Uh, yes, yes, I’m sorry.”

Lilly also sat up straight with her hands on her knees, nodding and saying, “Yes, yes, I’m sorry, I’m

sorry!”

Bettany was angry and amused. “Come down to have dinner.”

Downstairs, Hannah stood on a chair by the table, quickly picking up food and piling it into Lilly’s bowl

before sitting down.

Hugh frowned and sternly said, “She’ll eat by herself. Why did you give her so much to eat?”

He then looked at Josh and asked, “Hey, why did you start eating before everyone was seated?”

Josh put down his chopsticks and muttered, “Grandpa, please don’t be so strict with us.”

Hugh snorted and instinctively said, “I’m strict with everyone.”

Anthony, Hannah, and Josh looked at him with unbelievable looks.

At this moment, Lilly came down, and Hugh looked at Lilly in relief.

“Lilly, come and eat.” Hugh picked up a piece of meat.

Anthony clenched his fist and coughed while looking at the scene, “Ahem.”

After finishing the meal, Lilly rubbed her belly and collapsed on the sofa, unwilling to move.

Suddenly, she remembered her daddy’s words about eating big ice cream.

Lilly immediately approached Blake, whispering, “Daddy, can we go eat a big ice cream tomorrow?”

Blake glanced at her and lowered his voice, “Okay, don’t tell your granny.”

Bettany brought some fruits and squinted, asking, “What bad ideas are you two up to again?”

As soon as Lilly saw the fruits, she ran away.

“Granny, I’m full! If I eat any more, the food will come out of my bottom.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away quickly.

Blake looked straight ahead and said, “I’m going upstairs too.”

Bettany said, “Stop.”

Blake paused and turned around to ask, “What’s wrong?”

Bettany said expressionlessly, “Finish the fruit first.”
