Spoiled (Lily)
Chapter 306 Acting Cute, How Shameful!
Lilly looked at the ghosts all over the room, and whispered, âUncle Jonas, can you help me distract Quinnie? I wanna get rid of all the ghosts,â
Jonas nodded without hesitation, âOkay,â
Quinnie snatched the doll from Grace, but Grace grabbed ahold of the dollâs shoes and she could not get it back.
She cursed and looked angry, and then saw Jonas looking at her with a strange expression.
âUhh⦠Whatâs wrong, Mr. Jonas?â Quinnie smiled at him politely.
Jonas touched his nose, âItâs nothing,â
A trace of doubt flashed in Quinnieâs eyes, and she was about to walk around him.
But Jonas suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped her.
âMr. Jonas?â Quinnie was taken aback.
Jonas said, âThere was a scene you were supposed to film today but youâre on leave. The director said. there were a few important scenes and I need to tell you about them,â
Quinnie was puzzled.
Today was her birthday.
How could someone talk to her about work when it was her birthday?
How ruthlessâ¦
In the room, Lilly was waving at the ghosts as she bounced around, âHi, hello, the ghosts over thereâ¦
Can you look over here?â
The dullâlooking ghosts on the display case by the window looked at her.
Lilly said again, âCome on, the ghosts there⦠Can you look at me?â
The ghosts in the display cabinet at the end of the bed turned around dumbly.
Their expressions were dull and stiff, only their eyes moved flexibly.
Lilly, âBoom! Swish!â
All the ghosts were dumbfounded, âBoom⦠Swish?â
-Lilly grinned and muttered something in a low voice, a golden light lit up in the room after a while.
All the ghosts in the room stood up and walked slowly toward the golden light.
The ghosts disappeared along with the golden light.
Lilly caressed the jar of souls and said softly, âYou canât eat ghosts today because theyâre not evil spirits. Some of them were just lost and didnât know how to react. They canât even remember who they areâ¦â
Among them, it remained uncertain who was the individual encountered by others yet remained.
invisible, and who was the presence burdened by the loss of a loved one, unable to move on.
Thereâs something wrong with Quinnieâs dolls that attracted the souls who were about to perish. So, they seek nourishment from the dolls.
Lilly thought about it and felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, but she knew that she had never seen any dolls beforeâ¦
She pouted and pinched the jar of souls. âWhatâs so strange about the dolls? Can you tell me about it, Mr. Jar?â
The jar of souls remained silent.
Although it had a mouth, it could not speak.
Lilly sighed, âYou have to work hard, Mr. Jar. Unlike you, Polly knows how to speak now,â
The jar of souls was quiet.
Jonas struggled with his words. Not only did he talk about todayâs play, he even talked about the parts she did not act well in.
Just when he was about to lose his hold, he was about to ask Quinnie about her opinion in the next scène.
Lilly finally came out!
Jonas was relieved.
Quinnie also heaved a sigh of relief.
Darling, help me! I donât know why but Your uncle has been talking to me about work for 10 minutes!
Lilly blinked, âQuinnie, you are back!â
Quinnie hurried over and said, âI donât know whatâs gotten into Gracie either, she snatched Cocoâs shoe⦠Iâm speechless,â
Lilly asked, âQuinnie, where do you get your dolls made?â
Quinned answered, âThe name of the community is called Spring Friends⦠Whatâs the matter?â
Lilly shook her head, âItâs nothing, Quinnie, donât get your dolls from that community anymore! Their dolls arenât good,â
Quinnie was puzzled.
Itâs just a crack, itâs not that big of a dealâ¦
Although she could not shake off her suspicions completely, the shopâs ranking in her heart had undeniably dropped.
Quinnie changed the topic, âLilly, why donât you eat with your uncle first, Iâll take care of the doll,â
Lilly nodded and gently reminded Quinnie, âQuinnie, donât forget to draw the curtains. The dolls might feel uneasy if they donât see light,â
Quinnie was taken aback, nodded, and watched Jonas pick Lilly up and go downstairs.
She returned to the room in confusion, not knowing why the room felt a little stuffy.
The community said that it was next not to let the dolls be exposed to sunlight, or they would be prone to turn yellow and crack She made sure to keep the curtains closed, and due to her frequent filming commitments, she often.
resided in a nearby apartment dormitory provided by the company. As a result, the dolls remained locked in the room for extended periods.
Maybe Lillyâs rightâ¦
Quinnie opened the curtains.
She was not sure if it was just her imagination, but she had a peculiar feeling that the shadows cast behind the dolls appeared slightly distorted. However, upon closer inspection, everything seemed perfectly normal.
âHow strangeâ¦â
Quinnie put Coco away, took some photos of her, and sent them to the Spring Friends community.
She added, âThe crack is right here⦠My sister took one of Cocoâs shoes, so please make a new pair of shoes for herâ¦â
The other person provided her with feedback, âMiss Clay, we recognize your status in the community.
The Clover Comics Club will be hosting a nationwide doll exhibition in late July, and we would like to invite you as our first spokesperson. You can even bring along your two favorite dolls with you!â
Quinnie was excited upon hearing that it was a doll exhibition.
After inquiring about the specific dates and confirming her availability, she agreed without hesitation.
Downstairs, Jonas brought a small plate of fruit to Lilly, and asked, âDid you collect all of them?â
Lilly shook her head and corrected, âIâm not collecting them!â
She explained: âThese ghosts are not vengeful spirits, theyâre all lonely ghosts who are about to dissipateâ¦â
âThey didnât reincarnate due to various reasons such as accidental death, and as a result, they will wander forever in this world⦠However, as time passes, they will fade into the air and gradually dissipate,â
âItâs like the young girl you saw earlier, she fell ill and passed away. Refusing to be separated from her parents, she chose not to reincarnate. However, as the years went by, she gradually forgot the appearance of her parentsâ¦â
âShe died in hospital, couldnât find her way home, and was drawn here,â
Jonasâs fingers were stiff.
Sweetie, you donât need to talk about it in detailâ¦
âDo you want grapes? Uncle Jonas will get it for you,â Jonas said without changing his expression.
Lilly tilted her head to look at him, âAre you scared, Uncle Jonas? I wonât continue if youâre afraid,â
Jonas replied, âItâs nothing, I just thought you were⦠thirsty,â
With a look of understanding, Lilly gently patted Jonas on the shoulder.
Jonas was speechless.
After an uneasy birthday party, Jonas quickly stood up and seized the opportunity to say goodbye to Quinnieâs parents and bring Lilly back home.
Quinnie suddenly said, âHuh? Are you leaving this carly?â
She was very reluctant and held Lillyâs hand tightly.
Quinnieâs mother looked at her and thought that Quinnie was being too obvious.
Can you be less obvious?
She understood she was trying to befriend the child so that she could be closer to Jonas.
Quinnieâs mother smiled gently, âLilly seems to like Quinnie very much, Mr. Jonas, you should bring Lilly here more often,â
She caressed Lillyâs face as she spoke.
She thought that Lilly was adorable.
If only her younger daughter was half as adorable as Lillyâ¦
As Grace came down the stairs, she witnessed her parents and sister gathered around Lilly, seemingly infatuated by her presence.
She snorted coldly and turned away.
How dare you act cutely? How Shameful!
