Athena Linton’s reaction was so big that Serena Zimrman felt nothing but deep concern besides surprise. At this mont, she really wanted to assertively say: You can’t like that celebrity with the last na He.
But she couldn’t do that, as such actions would only make her daughter like that celebrity even more. Her daughter was in a rebellious stage of adolescence, and she couldn’t risk agitating her daughter impatiently.
Being too hasty would not only fail to achieve the desired result but could also make things worse. Her daughter’s excitent now was the best proof.
"Athena! You really don’t want to go to Fla City with your brother and sister-in-law?" She didn’t continue talking about the celebrity but shifted the topic to sothing else.
"... I want to go, but..."
Bang bang bang!
At this mont, there was a sudden knocking on the door from outside.
No matter who was knocking outside, Serena Zimrman breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and called towards the door: "Co in!"
After calling, she didn’t imdiately withdraw her gaze but kept staring at the doorway, waiting to see who the person outside was.
"Aunt! Athena!"
The person who pushed the door and walked in was Easton Hols. Earlier, he had wanted to co in with Serena Zimrman and Athena Linton, but he decided to wait a bit and see the situation before making a decision.
After waiting outside for a long ti without seeing the mother and daughter co out, he figured they probably hadn’t reached an agreent. Feeling restless, he got up and left the living room to find them.
Seeing it was Easton Hols, Serena Zimrman and Athena Linton both guessed why he was there, but their reactions were different.
Serena Zimrman felt as if she saw a savior and stood up to invite Easton Hols to sit down, "Easton! Co over and sit."
She pointed to the large bed, indicating the newly arrived person to sit.
"Brother! Why aren’t you outside with your goddess sister, what are you doing here?" Athena Linton remained seated and unmoved, looking displeased at Easton Hols as he walked over.
Seeing the situation, Easton Hols imdiately realized that the mother and daughter weren’t having a smooth conversation; it seed not very pleasant, "I ca to talk to you."
He didn’t beat around the bush, directly saying he wanted to talk.
"What is there to talk about between us? I’m not talking to you." Athena Linton also understood what Easton Hols wanted to talk about and didn’t beat around the bush, directly refusing to talk to him.
Easton Hols didn’t respond verbally but walked over and sat down beside Athena Linton. As he sat, he discreetly gave Serena Zimrman a look, signaling her to leave so he could talk to Athena Linton.
It wasn’t that he found Aunt being a hindrance, but so words were difficult to say with her around.
Serena Zimrman understood, glanced at Easton Hols, and then looked at Athena Linton sitting next to him, "Athena! Stay here with your brother for a bit, I’ll go check on your grandfather and the others."
With that, she didn’t wait for a response and stepped towards the doorway.
"I want to go too."
Athena Linton stood up to follow Serena Zimrman out, but as soon as she stood, Easton Hols pulled her back, "You’re just a kid, what are you rushing out to join the adults for?"
To prevent her from standing up again, he held onto her wrist, not letting go.
"Athena! Talk nicely with your brother, don’t be silly," Serena Zimrman advised Athena Linton again before finally leaving, after which she felt assured enough to open the door and leave.
