Chapter 249 I’ll Be Responsible for You
Lilly looked at Blake, Anthony, and Frankie curiously. Why are they all coughing?
She continued to ask. “Is the water bed a bed made of water? Or is the bed placed on top of the water? Will it sink? Or is the bed filled with water? If the bed is filled with water, will it not leak? Can I sleep in water?”
Lilly looked puzzled and asked all the questions that confused her in one breath.
However, the adults coughed worse, and Blake even said, “Don’t ask so many questions.”
Lilly felt strange. Adults always ask children to be sensible, but how can I be sensible if I don’t ask questions?
Lilly was full of doubts and looked at Jean. But she found Jean and the unlucky ghost quarreled more fiercely. Jean even hit the unlucky ghost.
Lilly asked, “Mommy, what’s a water bed?”
Jean felt embarrassed. “Uh, I’m not very clear about it.
She wanted to hide her embarrassment and frantically pulled the unlucky ghost’s hair.
The unlucky ghost begged Lilly, “Sweetie, don’t ask again. Your mommy messed up my hairstyle!”
Lilly pouted. Alright! The adults are so strange. I’ll ask Josh when I go back.
Lilly walked to Frankie angrily and reached out to grab the unlucky ghost’s foot.
“Are you leaving by yourself? Or I pull you out?” Lilly looked domineering. It was clear that she learned it from Anthony and Blake.
Frankie did not know Lilly was speaking to the unlucky ghost, so he stood up and said, “I’ll leave by myself…”
As expected, what happened that day was the beginning of bad luck. No matter which company I interview with, the result is the same.
However, Lilly grabbed Frankie’s hand and pushed him to the seat. “Uncle, sit down! Don’t worry. I’ll be responsible for you!”
Frankie did not know what Lilly was talking about, but Lilly was so cute to say she would be responsible for him.
Frankie found it funny and could not help but ask, “How are you responsible for me?”
Lilly recalled Pablo’s appearance when he lied to others and said solemnly, “I made a prediction. You’ll have a bloody disaster. If you want to resolve it, you must do what I say.”
Frankie could not help but chuckle. How could this little girl believe in predictions? She must have watched too
much TV.
Frankie smiled. “Thank you! But…” Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his neck and passed out. Then, he accidentally knocked against the table corner and hurt his lips. It was indeed a bloody disaster.
Lilly froze while Blake twisted his wrist. “Aren’t you going to catch a ghost?”
Lilly could barely get past the matter of great strength, but it was hard to explain about catching ghosts. So Blake knocked Frankie out. He did not even bother to explain to Frankie, let alone cheat.
Lilly nodded seriously. Igot it. Daddy often said it was better to solve things in a fast way.
She grabbed the unlucky ghost’s foot and threw it over her shoulder. “Hah!”
Immediately afterward, she turned the unlucky ghost over again. The unlucky ghost was forced to leave Frankie.
“Why did you hit me!” The unlucky ghost complained, I didn’t say I refused to leave!”
Lilly blinked. “But you didn’t say you would leave by yourself!”
The unlucky ghost choked. There’s nothing wrong with her words!
The unlucky ghost felt unlucky. He finally found a host but was caught by Lilly again within a few days!
Lilly threw out the jar of souls. “Go!
Lilly had already asked the unlucky ghost’s name, birth date, where he was from, and how he died. So she directly caught him.
The unlucky ghost understood his unlucky physique. Resisting would only make him more unlucky, so he did nothing.
The unlucky ghost thought that being taken into the jar of souls would make life worse than death. But after entering it, he saw a few ghosts playing cards inside.
The harem spirit widened her eyes. “Hey, there’s a new ghost!”
Ms. Ugly said, “My status is down again.”
The weakling spirit felt relieved. “I can finally take a breath…”
The harem spirit smiled and performed a firework on the spot. “Boom! Welcome the newcomer!”
The unlucky ghost was dumbfounded.
Blake picked up the jar of souls and took a closer look. There were many ghosts in such a thing the size of a fingernail.
“Come here.” He held Lilly in his arms, gave the jar of souls to her, and asked, “Finish catching?”
Lilly nodded. “Yes! I’m exhausted!”
Blake was speechless. Sweetie, you don’t seem to be doing anything.
Lilly ran up to Anthony cheerfully. “Uncle Anthony, let’s go home!”
Granny made many snacks. Daddy and I can’t finish it. Grandpa is old and can’t eat so much. But Granny will be sad if he doesn’t eat it, so Uncle Anthony must go home.
Anthony did not know the reason why Lilly asked him back. He pampered Lilly and said, “Okay.”
He called Charlie in and gave some orders for the following tasks. Charlie wrote them down and then looked at the unconscious Frankie on the sofa. “Uh, what about him? Want to hire?”
Anthony nodded. Lilly blamed herself as she accidentally released the unlucky ghost and caused Frankie to lose his job. So he needed to solve the mess for her. He also wanted a daily assistant, so it was okay to
hire Frankie.
At Crawford Mansion. Bettany took a bite of an apple pie and muttered, “It’s delicious! Why did Lilly run away?”
Margaret said, “Little Miss may have something to do!”
Bettany pouted. “She’s only a child. What thing can she do?”
Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door, and Lilly ran in quickly. “Granny, I’m back!”
Bettany’s expression brightened, and she immediately said, “It’s just in time to come back. Try the apple pie I made!”
Lilly took a bite and praised with a thumbs up, “Granny, the apple pie you made is delicious!”
When Bettany heard that, she happily took five apple pies and put them into Lilly’s hands.
Lilly ran out and stuffed one into Blake’s mouth and another into Anthony’s mouth. Hmm, there are still two lefi.
Lilly stared at Anthony. She saw that Anthony barely ate the one in his mouth and immediately stuffed another into his hand.
Blake coughed. “Water…”
Lilly went to get the water for Blake. Seeing Blake finish eating, she immediately stuffed him with another one. Then, she happily ran to the kitchen. “Granny, we ate all of them!”
Bettany laughed happily. “Okay! Come to drink the syrup now!”
Lilly responded, “Okay!” But Blake was about to leave. “I just remembered. I have something to report to the leader.”
Anthony lifted the briefcase. “I forgot to sign a document. I’ll go back to the company.”
Bettany came out with syrups and shouted, “Stop! Eat snacks before leaving!”
Blake and Anthony immediately stopped walking.
