Chapter 587: All the Food is Gone
Ivy casually put away her phone, "If you're really busy, starting today, I'll let you be my manager. But honestly, I'm not that busy on my end. Most of the time, you should still accompany Bluey, just like before, protecting her and keeping her company, alright?"
"Of course!" Florence patted her chest to assure, "Sister, don't worry. No matter when, where, or what year or month it is, I will protect and accompany Bluey until she gets married!"
Bluey pouted, "Why won't you accompany me after I get married?"
"You'll have a husband to accompany you after getting married! Even if I wanted to accompany you, you would find me annoying by then..."
As Florence said this, a hint of melancholy flashed across her face.
Sighing, she said, "What a pity, I'm not a man, otherwise..."
"Stop, stop!" Bluey quickly covered Florence's mouth, "Even if you were a man, I wouldn't marry you."
"Why not? Do you think I'm poor? Yeah, I'm so poor..." Florence's nose turned sour, and tears started to well up in her eyes.
"Ah, no! It's not that! It's just that I fell in love with Owen at first sight. I like him this way, and besides, Owen doesn't have much money either, but I never minded that, did I?"
Everyone, "..."
Alexander's brother has no money? Who would believe that?
Florence curled her lips, "Even if he has no money, he's still the older brother of the Ashford family's heir!"
Suddenly, she remembered something and hurriedly said, "Owen is the eldest son, if you marry him, wouldn't you become Luna, your sister's sister-in-law? Would that make you a generation older?"
"Forget it!" Bluey and Ivy both spoke at the same time.
Whether they were twins or not, their insults were the same, and they spoke at the same time with the same speed.
The two sisters looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At the Ashford family villa.
After being "beaten up" by 12 adorable little bundles, Alexander began his "counterattack."
Clasping his hands into fists, he pretended to be angry and said, "What's so great about gang up on the outnumbered? If you have the guts, let's have one-on-one fights!"
"We'll fight one-on-one, who's afraid of who?" the 12 little bundles said in unison.
"Alright, let's have a one-on-one fight. We'll start with the eldest!" Alexander clenched his fists.
Of course, he wouldn't actually fight his own children. He just used this as an opportunity to bond with them.
Taking advantage of this chance to teach them some fighting skills, and also figure out who was the eldest, who was the second, who was the third...
After figuring it all out, it would also make it easier for him to name the children, right?
The fighting ended, and it was almost noon.
The 12 adorable little bundles were enjoying themselves.
Originally, when they fought their father, they had a sense of revenge.
However, after going round and round with their father, they realized that he was teaching them martial arts. Moreover, every punch he threw was controlled and never harmed them in the slightest.
They suddenly felt that their father was not their enemy, but someone who was teaching and protecting them.
The food was long gone, but the warm atmosphere lingered.
Soon, the children became good friends with their father. The servants prepared a sumptuous lunch, and all 18 children sat at the table. Alexander didn't even have a seat for himself... It seems that from now on, meals will have to be divided into batches?
Originally, it was thought that the 12 little buns wouldn't eat much. No one expected that as soon as the 12 little ones sat at the table, they started to gobble up their food greedily, looking like they hadn't eaten for days.
The six little girls had just picked up their chopsticks, but the table had already been cleared of dishes.
"Daddy, I haven't had my meal yet!"
"Daddy, the younger brothers have huge appetites!"
"Daddy, I'm so hungry..."
"Daddy, is there any more rice?"
"Daddy, I want to eat..."
"Daddy, I want meat..."
The six sisters looked pitifully at Alexander.
Alexander thought to himself...
He was hungry too!
He turned to the chef and instructed, "Quickly make another table, and make more!"
At that moment, a blue-spotted snake swam over.
With a knowledgeable appearance, it said to everyone, "I forgot to tell you, they suddenly grew to be two years old, skipping two years of time. Their bodies lack a lot of nutrition.
The small amount of food just now probably won't even get stuck in their teeth. Making just one more table won't be enough, at least ten tables are needed!
And, for the next couple of months, every meal will be like today. They will only return to eating normally once they have replenished the two years' worth of nutrition!"
