Chapter 58 Secretly Eating Candy
Chapter 58 Secretly Eating Candy
Lilly looked at Ivan curiously. The way Ivan walks is so weird, and he just looks straight ahead after
sitting down.
She shook her head. "Sigh, he's like an adult even though he's still young." Recently, people had been
saying that she did not act her age, so she imitated them.
Ivan pursed his lips and suddenly stretched out his hand. "This is for you."
Lilly lowered her head to take a glance and saw a fruit candy lying in his palm. The transparent
wrapping showed the pink candy inside. It seemed like it was strawberry flavor.
She asked, "Is it for me?"
Ivan nodded.
Lilly asked again, "You only have one, so did you specially prepare it for me?" She thought that it was
better to properly ask.
There were two of them, so one piece of candy was not enough. What if Ivan cried after she ate it?
Ivan turned away coldly and said, "Of course not. I just took it at the entrance."
After confirming that Ivan did not want to eat it, Lilly picked up the candy with a swift movement. She
even glanced to the side secretly. Uncle Anthony and Mr. Shaw are still talking.
Seeing that the adults were not paying attention, Lilly quickly unwrapped the candy and ate it. After
that, she sat upright and put her hands on her knees, looking straight ahead.
Ivan looked at his palm. When Lilly was picking up the candy just now, her fingers touched his palm. It
felt like his tortoise at home touching his hand…
"Is it good?" Ivan asked.
Lilly nodded. "It is! Shh… Don't talk."
If her Uncle Anthony found out, he would not let her eat it.
Ivan looked straight ahead and stayed silent for a moment. He soon could not help but ask, "Are you
afraid of your Uncle Anthony?"
Lilly chewed the candy and said, "Of course not… It's just that I had a cavity, so Uncle Anthony and Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Grandma don't allow me to eat candies."
Ivan said, "Then you shouldn't eat them." If he had known, he would not have given her the candy.
Lilly immediately covered her mouth. "It has already entered my mouth, so I'm not spitting it out."
Ivan's mouth twitched as he said, "You shouldn't spit it out." How could she spit it out?
Lilly nodded. "Mmhm! I won't spit it out since I've eaten it! The candy is sweet, and I love candy!"
She would never spit it out. Even if she was discovered, she would rather swallow it.
Ivan glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Lilly's chubby face, she looked like a little
bunny that had secretly eaten a carrot. With the candy in her mouth, her mouth was pursed, and her
cheeks naturally puffed out a little. It was adorable.
Ivan then looked away. "Thank you for the other day," he calmly said as he stared straight ahead.
Lilly was focused on eating the candy, feeling the sweet taste spread in her mouth. She was
dumbfounded when she heard Ivan suddenly thanking her. "Huh?"
Ivan did not say anything else. On the stage, the host was speaking continuously. He thought it was
boring, so he could not help but look at Lilly. She seemed to have finished eating the candy as she
licked her lips, looking unfulfilled.
Ivan asked, "Why do you like candy so much?"
Lilly held her sippy cup and drank some water as she said, "Because it's sweet! Life is bitter, but candy
is sweet."
Ivan was stunned. He could not believe that she could say such words.
Lilly looked innocent as she blinked. "When I was hit by Stepmom, and Daddy did not want to hear my
explanation, I felt very sad." This sadness was probably life's bitterness.
Then, she coincidentally picked up a piece of candy from under the couch. She was starving at that
time, so she vividly remembered the sweetness of the candy.
Ivan stayed silent, but he kept Lilly's words in his mind. He kept in mind that she liked candy.
The host was still talking non-stop on the stage. After the host finished talking, it was Taylor
Entertainment's person in charge's turn to speak.
Everyone was looking at the time so they could drag the ribbon-cutting ceremony to 10:18 AM.
The audience knew what happened backstage previously, so they could not help but look at the time.
They wanted to see what gentle light would appear.
"The kid is just joking… The Crawford family dotes on that child more than we can imagine?"
"Gentle light… What nonsense."
"If Master Sullivan was the one saying it, I might believe it, but it's a kid we're talking about. If a gentle
light actually appears, I'll shave my head."
"Haha, Mr. Evans, you're going overboard!"
Everyone was discussing and could not help but joke around. It was clear that no one believed Lilly's
words. They even thought the way she moved her fingers just now made her look like a scammer. Who
knew what television program did she learn it from?
It was almost time, so everyone quieted down and stared at the stage.
"On this beautiful, happy day… Let's welcome Taylor Entertainment's Mr.Taylor and Crawford Holding's
Mr. Anthony on stage with a round of applause!"
Upon hearing this, Lilly immediately clapped her hands!
Anthony tidied his buttons a little and patted Lilly's head. "Be good and stay with Mr. Brown here. Don't
run around."
Lilly replied, "Mmhm!" She even grabbed Charlie's finger, seemingly wanting to prove that she would
run around.
Charlie was startled when his finger was grabbed, but when he saw the cute kid in front of him, his
heart could not help but melt.
"Don't worry, Mr. Anthony," Charlie said.
Anthony nodded and walked up the stage.
After saying a few words, the main people in charge stood in front of the ribbon, holding golden
scissors.
Along with the sound of firecrackers and applause from the audience, the golden scissors cut the red
ribbon.
At this moment, the sun rose to the East of the venue. Through the colorful tinted glass on the roof, the
light shone onto the stage! With the ceremony ball as the center, the stage was covered in a colorful,
gentle light!
Anthony was taken aback, and he subconsciously looked at the time. It was precisely 10:18 AM!
The audience below the stage was in an uproar. They looked at the gentle light on the stage in disbelief
and then looked toward Lilly.
There's really a gentle light?!
The person who said he would shave his head mumbled, "It's impossible! This must have been
planned in advance…"
The person next to him also said, "Yes… It's too magical, so it's definitely planned…"
However, they looked up toward the direction where the light came from. There were no manmade
traces. They could only see the sunlight shining through the colorful tinted glass, which created a
gentle light. This would mean that everything was a coincidence!
Everyone was dumbfounded…
