Chapter 95

Anthony found a nearby coffee shop and asked for a private room.

He would satisfy Lilly no matter what she wanted to do, and he never doubted her whether it made sense.

Anthony sat down at the side, but he suddenly felt dizzy. He immediately took out a bottle of medicine secretly to eat pills.

Lilly frowned. What happened to Uncle Anthony? He hid it well, but I still saw it.

Pablo said, “Your Uncle Anthony isn’t in good health. Lilly, settle the matter first. I’ll talk about it when we go back.”

Lilly had no choice but to greet Rebecca, “Hello, Aunty! My name is Lilly.”

Rebecca felt weird. The adult took medicine while the kid chatted with her. She asked, “Hello, Lilly.

What do you want from me?”

Lilly became serious. “Aunty, I’m here to help you catch…”

Pablo immediately covered her mouth. “Don’t say to catch ghosts! Just say you come to get rid of her bad luck!”

Lilly took a breath, then continued, “I’m here to help you get rid of bad luck!”

Rebecca was speechless. Are they frauds? But this little girl looks so young!

She also looked at Anthony. Even this guy doesn’t look like a liar.

Rebecca said, “Uh, it doesn’t matter. I’m fine…”

Lilly asked, “Aunty Rebecca, do you feel tired recently that you can’t do what you want?”

Rebecca uttered, “That’s right…” It was normal. The people in cities always had such a situation.

Lilly asked again, “Did you suddenly wake up by the cold at night? Did your eyes daze, your brain buzzing, and the pooing wasn’t going well? Your face is dull, your dark circles are worse, and you can’t eat well. You feel your back is heavy as if carrying a ghost. Am I right?”

Rebecca felt shocked upon hearing that. She wondered how Lilly knew about her privacy.

Isn’t she a liar?

Rebecca hesitated, then answered, “Yes, it’s already April, and the room temperature is normal at night, but I always wake up from the cold. I even changed the quilt, and it was still the same.”

She even adjusted the room temperature. Her husband, Harry Dixon, said that she was crazy. It was so hot, but she put on a quilt and heated the room. So, he asked her to sleep in the study.

Lilly asked curiously, “Huh? Why did you sleep in the study? Not your husband?”

Rebecca said, “I write novels at night, so I’m more suitable to sleep there.”

Hearing that, Pablo tutted. When Rebecca said that, she started complaining, “Although my house isn’t small, it only has three rooms. My mother-in-law lives in one room, I live with my husband and children in one room, and the other is my study.”

Lilly asked, “That’s why you sleep in the study?”

Pablo asked, “Why did you obey your husband and not refuse him?”

Lilly conveyed Pablo’s question to Rebecca. “Why did you obey your husband and not refuse him?”

Rebecca looked helpless. “Forget it. I don’t want to argue with him. My children sleep with us too, and they’ll feel hot if I turn on the heater.” Because of this, she decided to buy a bigger house.

She had been writing books for several years and had earned some money. After deducting the family expenses, she saved several hundred million as she sold copyrighted novels and made them into TV dramas.

In Wagren, a small prefecture-level city, more than one million dollars was enough to buy a big house.

She had long wanted to buy a villa, but her mother-in-law, Elliot, disagreed. Elliot said the current house was well-lived, and Rebecca needed to save the money for her grandchildren. Elliot even emphasized that money was not Rebecca’s alone, and Rebecca could not reveal her wealth lest the relatives borrow money.

“Later, she reluctantly agreed to buy the house after I said it many times, but I was very speechless.

When we looked for a suitable place, my husband would take this or that person to see the house.

They were all my husband’s relatives and had many ideas. They forgot it was me who wanted to buy it!

We went to see a house again just now, and my husband brought his relatives again. I felt I was so redundant.”

Rebecca took a fancy to a house type just now. It was more than 200 square meters with a total price of 2 million. She thought it was not expensive, and the bigger, the better. She could use a room as a study, and her two children would each have their room when they grew up. There could also be an extra guest bedroom, so it would be convenient when guests came to the house.

However, Lydia thought it was too expensive. She said Rebecca should buy a 140-square-meter house, and there were also four-bedroom units. The two children each reserved a room, Elliot lived in a room, and Rebecca and Harry lived in a room. Lydia even said Rebecca did not need a study, and a desk was enough for her to work.

Moreover, Lydia advised Rebecca not to pursue any school districts as there were all speculated by real estate. She said Nicole was studying in town. There was no school district, and Nicole still could learn well.

Then, Lydia came up with an idea to ask Rebecca to buy a resettlement house in another community, which was very cheap.

Rebecca was pissed off. “I want a study space! I write novels full-time and need a quiet environment, but Aunt Lydia said I’m making trouble! As for the resettlement housing, there are construction sites around, but my mother-in-law listened to Aunt Lydia and wanted to see it. I felt so angry that I came back.”

Lilly wrinkled her nose and asked, “They didn’t return yet?”

Rebecca lay down on the table dejectedly and helplessly. “They went to see the houses by themselves.

They discussed themselves and didn’t think about me at all. I wondered if it was me buying a house.

Actually, only my husband and I went to see houses on the first day, but he insisted on bringing his mother the next day. Soon, they began to bring relatives to see houses.”

Rebecca continued, “His cousin also came some time ago. She had many ideas. Besides, his cousin said that after we bought a house, I should save money and not buy skin care products. She said those things are useless and can’t make me prettier!”

Pablo was speechless. “Just say it if you’re not happy! If you don’t like it, just say it!”

Lilly conveyed Pablo’s words again. “Just say it if you’re not happy! If you don’t like it, just say it!”

Rebecca replied, “Forget it. I don’t want to quarrel with them.”

Lilly and Pablo did not know what to say. They thought Rebecca deserved it as she never told her family about her thoughts.

Rebecca said, “The money is mine! They not only interfered with my house purchase, they even don’t let me spend money!”

Lilly and Pablo did not want to speak, and even Anthony could not bear it anymore.

“And…” Rebecca wanted to go on, but Lilly immediately covered her mouth. “Okay, Aunty Rebecca, you may stop talking now.”

Lilly found it strange. The more she listened to it, the angrier she became. Although she did not understand what the adults were doing, she still felt pissed off.

Pablo could not understand either. Logically, Rebecca’s husband doesn’t make money, and Rebecca takes care of the elders and children. Why is she still so aggrieved?

Lilly thought and asked, “Aunty, why don’t you talk to your husband?”

Rebecca complained, “My husband is overbearing. When he returned to his hometown, people thought he made money, and he didn’t explain the truth. My husband wanted to decide everything. If I didn’t obey him, he would be unhappy. Once, we went to his hometown during the New Year and quarreled over a trivial matter. I got angry and said to return to the city. Then, he left me on the spot! I walked from the village back to the urban area for two hours. It was about 11.00 pm, and there was no car. It was already 1.00 am when I arrived at the urban area…”

Lilly got it. The weakling spirit probably haunted Rebecca at that time.
