Chapter 1299: Chapter 1298: It’s Not as Complicated as You Think
Although Ryan Taylor took big strides as he walked, he wasn’t going very fast. It was as if he expected Lily Turner to call out to him. Just as her voice fell, he stopped in his tracks, turned around with little Anan in his arms, and looked at her as she walked over.
"What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re not confident about me taking Anan back?" He purposely distorted her meaning, knowing full well that wasn’t her intention. He just wanted to tease his little sister, who was sometimes really easy to tease.
"No way." Lily Turner replied, having already reached Ryan Taylor by now. She stood in front of him and pursed her lips before continuing, "I heard from Auntie that you have a girlfriend, you..."
"Uncle! You have a girlfriend?" Little Anan exclaimed loudly upon hearing his mother’s words.
Little Anan’s voice was loud enough to attract the attention of passing bystanders, who all glanced over. Having lived in the same compound, even if they weren’t acquainted, they were quite familiar.
Ryan Taylor regretted holding little Anan all the way here; he should have kept some distance from this little guy. But now, regret was useless—his adorable nephew had already called out. Was he really going to spank the little guy’s bottom? He couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Lily’s attention wasn’t on Ryan Taylor at that moment. She wasn’t paying any mind to the expression on his face, her eyes wide with surprise at little Anan. "Kids! Do you know what a girlfriend is?"
She did not plan to await her son’s answer; she just wanted to express her amazement. But she was utterly surprised when her son took it seriously.
"Of course I do. A girlfriend is a woman who’s going to be a wife," answered little Anan earnestly, his small eyes looking unusually serious.
A girlfriend is a woman who’s going to be a wife?!
Lily Turner couldn’t believe her ears; little Anan’s words shocked her so much that her eyes widened like saucers.
Not only Lily was stunned by little Anan’s words, but Easton Holmes and Ryan Taylor were too, though their reactions weren’t as extreme as hers.
"Sweetheart! Tell Uncle, do you have a ’girlfriend’?" After the initial shock, Ryan Taylor found little Anan’s serious demeanor incredibly cute, prompting him to tease the little guy.
Little Anan tilted his head and replied, "I do."
The little one seemed particularly proud, looking at his uncle with a smug expression.
"Who’s your ’girlfriend’? Do we know her?" Ryan Taylor was just trying to tease little Anan, but he hadn’t expected the little guy genuinely had a ’girlfriend.’ It turned out to be a surprise revelation.
Little Anan continued to reply seriously and proudly, "The class princess."
"Our Anan is really impressive, even the class princess..."
"Brother! Stop messing around with Anan."
Lily Turner snapped out of her series of shocks, promptly interrupting the conversation between Ryan Taylor and Anan. She was worried that if she didn’t stop them now, who knows what else they would say.
Her son was only three years old; where did he learn all this? Have kids nowadays matured so early?
At this moment, Easton Holmes walked over and stood beside Lily Turner, resting a hand on her shoulder, speaking softly to reassure her, "Don’t be so tense. This isn’t as complicated as you think."
