Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Zachary looked at Josh and Drake. “What about me?” he asked.

“You just realized it?” Josh asked.

Bettany got dressed and went out. She saw Zachary was in a daze. She held his hands and said,

“Granny is with you.”

Zachary looked up and held Bettany’s hand tightly.

“Am I the extra one, Granny?” Zachary asked in an upset manner. He blushed after asking that.

“No way. You’re as important as others. When we picked up the bride, we had to go in odd numbers.

number for the children. You’re not an extra.”

“Why do we have to go in odd numbers when we pick up the bride?” Zachary asked curiously.

“Good things come in pairs. We left with an odd number and we returned with an even number

counting the bride.”

“No…” Zachary paused. “Nine adults and five children made a total of fourteen people. It’s an even number. I’m

still an extra.”

Zachary didn’t feel like going. He better wait at home.

Bettany couldn’t bear to let him wait at home alone. “It’s okay. Children are not counted.” In case there was a child

in Lisa’s belly, it would make an even number.

“Go.” Bettany let go of Zachary’s hand when they reached the door. “I’ll wait at home for you.”

“Okay.”

Lilly and the others rushed outside happily.

The Crawford brothers were standing at the door. They were wearing black suits, each holding a red rose.

Anthony’s red rose was pinned to the front of his jacket.

Bryson turned around and smiled, “Greetings to our little princess. Are we late to escort her?”

Jonas slightly bent over and made an inviting gesture. “Let’s go, princesses.”

The other brothers were bickering with each other.

Lilly felt dazzled and amused. Little did she know, this would be the happiest moment in her memories.

Edward put the rose into his mouth and carried Lilly. “Come one!”

“Hey, Edward! Didn’t we agree to let Lilly choose whose car she wanted to ride?”

“Get him!”

Hannah wanted to join the fun but she was stopped by Gilbert.

“Girls in dresses have to walk slowly. Be careful of falling.” Gilbert ruffled her hair.

Hannah immediately protested, “Don’t mess up my hair, Uncle Gilbert!”

Nine cars left to get Lisa.

After they left, a figure peeked out down the corner of the road. The person was none other than

Helen.
