Spoiled by Eight Uncles

Colton had never met a child who was not afraid of him and even smiled at him.

Somehow, he got the feeling that he had seen her somewhere before…

Snapping out of his thoughts, Colton gave a nod and replied, “Hello.”

He paused before asking, “Were you the one who carried Ivan back?”

Lilly responded, “Yeah.”

The little girl had rosy cheeks and baby fat. Her huge eyes were clear and bright. It was the cutest thing when she bobbed her head while talking.

Colton could not take his eyes away from her.

“Thank you. I’ll drop by with Ivan soon to formally thank you.” Although she was a child, Colton did not soften the tension along his facial lines.

The men in black behind him entered the tent and quickly carried the unconscious boy out.

Colton nodded at Anthony and was ready to leave when Lilly jumped in. “Mister, you can’t leave…”

With Pablo guiding at the side, Lilly read after him, “He’s got an unusual illness. You must come look for me if he doesn’t wake up.”

Colton nodded nonchalantly.

It was clear that he did not take her seriously.

She was simply a four-year-old. What could she do?

It was not like he could count on a girl to save Ivan if the professionals could not do anything.

Colton took Ivan along and left.

Watching as the fleet of cars drove away, Lilly could not wipe the worried look off her face.

Bettany said, “Alright. Let’s head back.”

The family intended to camp out overnight at the wetlands park so that Lilly could enjoy the camping trip, the night sky, and the morning dew.

After all that happened, Bettany felt like she was on an emotional roller coaster that she could not get out of. The thought that Ivan was kidnapped… It was better for the family to make haste home.

The Crawfords had a family meeting and decided to pack up and drive back to the Crawford Mansion overnight.
