Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1276

Lilly hastily threw on a mink coat and rushed outside.

Josh noticed her leaving and followed, asking, "Lils, where are you going?"

Lilly hurriedly replied, "Ivan's here. I'm going to greet him."

Josh fell silent.

After the New Year, Lilly turned nine years old. She had grown up and become quite gorgeous. She wore a red mink fur coat with a long cape and seemed graceful as she walked through the snow.

"Ivan?" Lilly asked.

When Lilly reached the doorstep, she found Ivan standing there in silence. The weather has been extremely cold these days, with temperatures dropping to minus four or five degrees.

However, Ivan was wearing a down jacket without an additional hat, just pulling the hood of the jacket over his head.

Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and his breath created clusters of white mist as he turned around.

"On such a cold day, why are you only wearing a down jacket?" Lilly asked in surprise. During the coldest times in Alfornada, a down jacket certainly wouldn't provide as much warmth as my mink coat. He had also been standing outside for quite a while.

Ivan replied, "It's fine; I'm not cold."

Ivan handed Lilly a ring and said, "Here, this is a storage ring."

Worried that Lilly might misunderstand, Ivan quickly explained, "I was actually looking for other storage bracelets or necklaces but couldn't find any."

Lilly accepted the ring and asked, "Why are you giving this to me? My dad already gave me one."

Lilly raised her hand to show Ivan a light purple ring on her index finger, which had been specially made for her by Blake. She had similar rings from childhood to adulthood. However, she started wearing them again when she was reincarnated.

Ivan pursed his lips and glanced toward the main Crawford mansion.

He had stood here for quite some time just now and figured out a way to see Cloud’s figure through the glass windows.

Ivan said in a low voice, "There's some elixir inside the ring for old Mrs. Crawford."

Lilly finally understood Ivan’s move. He had come specifically to deliver an elixir for Granny. He must be worried about her.

She tightly held the ring and said, "Thank you."

Although she already had one, Ivan’s gesture meant more than anything else.

Ivan fell silent as he was unsure of what to say. I wanted to tell her not to be too sad, but I am afraid that saying this might make her cry.

"You..." Ivan hesitated for a while and said, "If you need anything, just let me know."

Lilly found it strange. She said confusingly, "Why would he do that? Friends are always welcome; he wouldn't really do that!" Drake wasn't stingy, and a cup of tea wouldn't cost us much! It wasn't like he was robbing the place; he did not need to be worried!

The only reason Lilly could think of for Ivan declining to go in was related to money.

Ivan chuckled and said, "Hurry up and go inside now!"

Lilly stared at him, realizing he had genuinely decided not to go in. He really just came to deliver the elixir.

Lilly could not help but say, "Okay, then, Ivan, goodbye." She waved to him, wanting to see him off before returning inside.

However, Ivan said, "You go inside, and I'll leave after I see you've gone in."

Lilly was surprised and said, "What?" She did not understand why but eventually went inside after seeing Ivan’s determination. Standing by the mansion's entrance, she looked back outside and could still faintly see Ivan's figure.

Ivan waved to her and then left.

On her way back, Lilly had calmed down a lot. She was deeply grateful for Ivan's company.

Ivan had watched Lilly walk to the doorstep, and as she turned around, her beloved family awaited her inside.

Lilly took a deep breath and walked inside.
