Despite the old lady’s disapproval, Lilly was determined to watch the typhoon. In a surprising turn of

events, Blake swiftly took Lilly and snuck out.

Bettany called out angrily, “Blake, bring the children back! Why are you bringing them to watch the

typhoon? Aren’t you afraid the typhoon will blow everyone away!”

Blake pretended to be confused and replied, “Watch a typhoon? What are you talking about? We’re not

going to see the typhoon, we’re visiting Lilly’s Uncle Max!”

Bettany was speechless.

Blake continued pretending to be clueless, “Isn’t her Uncle Max in Wyndon? The little one suddenly

said she misses her sixth uncle.”

Bettany thought to herself…

I don’t believe you!

The typhoon was at Wyndon.

The unreliable father led the children, then quickly departed.

Even Drake joined them, which was quite unexpected. Before, he would have chosen to stay home

during the holidays, claiming that going out was pointless. But now, he realized that the saying “Travel

broadens the mind” held some truth and that children needed to experience the outside world more.

She glanced at her brother, Zachary, who seemed lost in thought, while Hannah chattered excitedly.

Blake, the bodyguard, was studying how to fly a large plane with a notebook.

unused,” Blake mentioned.

They arrived at Wyndon, in the neighboring province, by plane. The typhoon had not affected the area

much, so they could still reach their destination without any major issues.

Their next mode of transportation was by car.

“Woohoo! I’m finally going to see Uncle Max!” Lilly joyfully exclaimed as she lay against the window,

watching the rain outside.

The rain was not too heavy, as the car drove by.

This effectively fulfilled Blake’s promise to accompany Lilly wherever she desired, regardless of the

weather.

Lilly dialed Uncle Max’s number on her phone.

“Hello, is this Uncle Max?”

Max, who had stayed up all night working on a problem, was still groggy when Lilly called.

“Who is this?” he inquired.

Lilly questioned, “Uncle Max, do you have any other nieces?”

Lilly was puzzled, wondering if Uncle Max had other nieces. Her sister, Hannah, was also his niece…

but Lilly was the only one who called him Uncle Max!

Finally regaining his senses, Max cheerfully replied, “Lilly! Why did you suddenly decide to call me?”

Lilly responded with an unrelated remark, “Because Uncle Max usually doesn’t answer his phone!”

Max did not know whether to laugh or sigh. He spoke softly, “Uncle Max is usually involved in scientific

research, so I often forget where I placed my phone.”

Lilly scoffed, “What if someone wants to call you?”

Max’s voice sounded somewhat youthful. If one had not met him before, one might mistake him for a

sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. “They would call my landline. An assistant would answer the

landline for me, and then the assistant would come to me.”

Lilly suddenly understood, “Ah, I see. Uncle Max, we’re in Wyndon right now!”

Max paused once more and asked curiously, “Did Lilly come to visit me? I happen to be involved in a

project that might take a few days… Why didn’t you tell me you’re visiting me in advance?”

On the other end of the line, Max looked at his calendar.

My niece is here.

Of course, I should spend time with her.

If I rush it, it could take at least two days… It seems I’ll have to stay overnight for two days.

Oh well, I won’t go home tonight.xo.com fast update

Just as he was thinking about this, Lilly spoke up, “No, Uncle Max, we didn’t come here to see you. We

came to see the typhoon. But if Grandma calls, just tell her that we’re not here to see the typhoon!”

The little one’s voice trembled nervously, stuttering as if telling a lie.

Max was speechless.

Hmph, she didn’t come here to visit me.

“I’m not covering for you,” he replied.

Lilly immediately pleaded, “Please!”

Max replied, “Okay, okay…”

Max could see her pleading eyes even though they were talking over the phone.

He could not resist her for even a second.

“What typhoon are you going to see? Be careful. The impact of the typhoon here is much stronger than

in Alfornada.”

Lilly replied, “Don’t worry, Daddy is with us!”

Max nodded, “Then go straight to my place. Your father knows my address, and the password to the

door is…”

They exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Just as Max was about to put his phone away, it rang again.

It was Bettany.

“Hello, Mom,” Max said. “What’s the matter?”

Bettany asked, “Did Lilly get in touch with you?”

Max nodded, “Yes, I spoke to her and told her we’ll be staying at my place tonight.”

Bettany seemed skeptical, “She’s staying with you?”

Max nodded, “Yeah, my place is big enough for all of us.”

He was not just a rigid researcher.

Although his workplace provided him with housing, he bought a large apartment spanning over 2000

square meters. He liked arranging things on his own and needed ample space.

It was more than enough.

Bettany sighed, “Alright, Lilly will be there for a while. If you’re busy, go ahead and do your work. Don’t

stay up too late.”

Max was about to feel touched, but the old lady continued, “Besides, Lilly doesn’t necessarily need

your company. It doesn’t matter if you take time off or not.”

Max was speechless.
