Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Chapter 38

Winona kept checking her phone and waited till it was nearly 11.

Hannah should be awake by now.

Helen didn’t seem worried. “Wait and see! Someone will call in ten minutes and ask you to return.”

“What if they don’t?”

The elderly woman shook her head. “That’s not possible. They will, at most, try to act as if nothing is wrong. There’s no doubt that they will call.”

Winona waited until noon, and yet there was still no news from the Crawfords.

She couldn’t stay and do nothing anymore. “No, I have to go check on her!”

Helen tried to stop her to no avail. Why is my daughter so impatient?!

What child could bear to leave her mother’s side? What was the hurry?

Back at the Crawford manor.

Lilly was drawing with Hannah.

“For you.” Lilly handed Hannah a piece of paper.

Hannah harrumphed. “I don’t want yours.”

Despite her barbed words, she still accepted the paper.

Lilly was confused. “I thought you didn’t want it.”

Hannah stiffly muttered, “Mine isn’t white enough. I’ll use yours instead!”

“…”

Both of them drew something. “I’m going to show everyone my art!”

She then went searching for Hugh.

Hugh took off his reading glasses and asked, “What did you draw today?”

Lilly showed it off. “Look, Grandpa! It’s an egg.”

The elderly man couldn’t help but laugh. “And you, Hannah?”

Hannah felt depressed at the sight of her cousin and her grandfather getting along so well. Does Grandpa not like me?
