Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Anthony leaned in abruptly, his lips pressing against Lisa’s. In that instant, his breath hitched, struggling to contain

the overwhelming desire within him, yet unable to resist its pull. He grabbed Lisa’s arm, forcing her hand onto his

chest.

Lisa’s eyes widened, and witnessing the person she adored suddenly magnified before her. A rush of blood surged

through her veins, causing her normally functioning brain to momentarily short-circuit. This kiss had ignited a fire,

like a torch tossed into a long calm prairie, slowly spreading its flames.

Anthony, no longer in control, found himself wanting more than just a kiss. He held Lisa tightly, taking charge for

the first time, swiftly leading her toward the edge of the bed.

A thud resonated as they fell onto the bed, the resilient mattress bouncing Lisa back up, and Anthony quickly

pressed her down into the sheets.

However, they landed precariously close to the edge, instinctively feeling as if they were about to fall off. Just as

Anthony was about to adjust their position, Lisa suddenly flipped them over, placing him underneath.

Anthony’s meticulously groomed black hair was now disheveled, exuding an unexpected sense of restrained desire.

He smirked slightly, his gaze fixed on Lisa, as he hoarsely asked, “Still feeling greedy?”

Lisa nodded honestly, “Yes!”

As her words fell, there was a sharp click!

The buttons on Anthony’s shirt flew off, scattering onto the nearby table, floor, and walls, creating a melodious

sound as they hit the ground.

He smirked slightly, his gaze growing dark and menacing, like a leopard lurking in the night, ready to pounce on its

prey.

“Well then…” Anthony whispered hoarsely, his hand reaching out…

“Uncle Anthony!”

“Daddy, Mommy!”

Two mischievous children appeared at the most critical moment, holding ice cream in their hands…

And froze in place.

Anthony’s movements came to an abrupt halt, frozen in mid-action.

Lisa thought to herself, huh? Ice cream…?

She subconsciously turned her head to look.

Lilly, puzzled, said, “Aunt Lisa, are you fighting with Uncle Anthony? Why are you two bickering?”

Josh, bewildered, with his genius brain working quickly, said, “Based on my observations, it doesn’t seem like a

fight… It’s more like…”

Anthony pressed his forehead, momentarily at a loss for words.

Internally conflicted, he remembered being startled by Lisa standing directly behind the door when he entered the

room, and then she pretended to be dizzy from alcohol…

He had indeed forgotten to close the door.

Anthony’s emotions grew complicated, uncertain whether to feel annoyed or embarrassed. All he knew was that he

wanted to throw Josh out.

As for Lilly… she shouldn’t be thrown out; he would gently guide her away.

At this moment, Lisa was attempting to explain, “We’re not fighting! Um… it’s… it’s…”

Drake appeared out of nowhere, covering Lilly’s mouth and swiftly pulling Josh away.

Lilly exclaimed, “Hey, hey?”

Josh sobbed, “Waaah!”

Lisa blinked her eyes.

Wait, she hadn’t finished explaining yet!

She stood up and dashed to the door.

Anthony caught her wrist, feeling helpless and frustrated. “You’re just going to run like this?”

Lisa replied innocently, “Huh? What else should I do?”

Anthony fell silent.

Seeing that Lisa truly intended to escape, he almost laughed in exasperation.

How could they possibly stop now? Did she think this was a clichéd tactic to prolong the readers’ anticipation in a

romance ?

If they interrupted, they couldn’t continue, right?

If she wanted to run, he would let her run, right?

With a loud bang, Anthony closed and locked the door.

Lisa wore a puzzled expression.

She looked at Anthony, her face filled with confusion, and stammered, “Shouldn’t we go out… They… they will know

we’re hiding in the room!”

Hiding in the room…

Anthony chuckled, “If we go out, won’t they realize we weren’t hiding in the room? Hmm?”

Lisa hesitated, “Um…”

Anthony continued, “Whether we go out or not, the people who should know will know. There’s nothing to hide.

Those who shouldn’t know, the kids, are too young and unaware. There’s nothing to conceal from them either.”

Anthony added, “So what’s the difference if we go out or not? Is it important? We’re just a normal couple, nothing

to be secretive about. Transparency is important in life.”

Lisa grew even more perplexed.

Her brain felt like it was being fried once again.

After Drake whisked away Lilly and Josh, they heard the sound of the room’s door slamming shut.

It was firmly closed, and they even heard the sound of it being locked.

Drake fell silent.

These were their biological parents.

Lilly looked up, truly not understanding. “Drake, why did Uncle Anthony and Aunt Lisa lock the door? What are they

doing inside?”

Drake blushed, maintaining a poker face. “Don’t ask, kid.”

Lilly pouted, “Here we go again!”

“But Drake, aren’t you a kid too?”

Drake grew even more awkward. Yes, he was a kid, but he had received some education about bodily hygiene. He

didn’t know the specifics, but he knew it was something for adults, not suitable for children.

Not sure about the details, but he knew it was an adult matter, not to be shared with children.

Josh also caught on, clearing his throat. “Lilly, be good, don’t ask. Listen to Drake.”

Lilly wrinkled her nose. “Fine!”

Why did adults always keep secrets from kids? Kids never kept any secrets from them.

They weren’t open-hearted at all~

Lilly looked at the ice cream melting in her hand. “What should we do with the ice cream?”

Josh also held two ice creams and took a bite from each. “Let’s eat them all, devour them!”

Lilly’s eyes lit up. “Yay!”

This was Granny’s homemade ice cream, her first attempt! It tasted much better than the ones outside.

No point in wasting it, eat it all!

Uncle Anthony and Aunt Lisa missed out big time!
