At first, Easton Hols thought Lily Turner was playing dumb with him, but when he saw her furrowed brow, he was quite sure she wasn’t pretending. She really didn’t know what he ant.
"Didn’t you say you went back to your parents’ house? But the housekeeper said you didn’t even go back today." Since she didn’t know what he was talking about, he decided to remind her and see how she would explain it to him.
Upon hearing this, Lily Turner suddenly realized, her puzzled expression instantly vanished, replaced by panic. "Did you go looking for at the house today? Did you see anyone else besides the housekeeper?"
When she went to the house, she didn’t see Auntie Hua at ho. At that ti, only her mother was there.
"Are you afraid I’ll et others in your family?"
The panic on Lily Turner’s face said it all, but Easton Hols still asked, just to make her admit it.
"I... I hope you won’t get angry when I tell you."
Lily Turner glanced at Easton Hols, hesitated for a mont, and finally decided to reveal the truth. "Your mom called my mom. Your mom asked..."
"My mom called your mom? When?" Easton Hols only guessed the beginning. The outco was unexpected; at least he hadn’t anticipated it at all until now.
"The timing of the call doesn’t matter; what’s important is that your mom called my mom to push to divorce you." Lily Turner revealed the truth, but she didn’t feel relieved; her mind was still in turmoil.
Upon hearing this, Easton Hols’s face turned sour, "What do you think about it?"
He didn’t care about what others thought; he didn’t want to care. But he couldn’t ignore her opinions and thoughts.
"I’m quite stubborn. The more people push , the less likely I am to comply." Especially with her mother, over the years, Lily Turner had gotten used to opposing her mom. The more Sophia Wood opposed her, the more she did it, even if she hit a dead end, she wouldn’t turn back.
Though Lily Turner didn’t say it outright, Easton Hols understood her aning completely, but it wasn’t the best answer he wanted to hear.
"Did your mom call you today?" Even now, he still thought she hadn’t gone back today.
"My mom ca here to look for just now, and I went back with her." As Lily Turner said this, she suddenly recalled that Easton Hols still suspected she was lying. She quickly clarified, "I didn’t lie to you. I indeed left with my mom just now. If you don’t believe , you can ask the guard on duty at the gate this morning."
The guard had just stopped soone, so he should rember both of them.
Easton Hols didn’t doubt Lily Turner, but the housekeeper at her parent’s house had unintentionally misled him. However, there was still one thing that needed clarification: how did she end up with Grant Heath?
They happened to bump into each other at the neighborhood gate. Why couldn’t he believe that?
She wasn’t lying, he could see. But that Heath boy, he couldn’t fully trust.
"I believe you!"
This girl, really, asking him to verify with the guard to prove her words. She, being the major’s wife, didn’t find it embarrassing; he, as the major, found it troubleso.
"Growl!"
At this mont, Lily Turner’s stomach suddenly protested.
"What was that sound?"
Easton Hols feigned ignorance, looking down at Lily Turner’s stomach as he asked the question.
Seeing this, she rolled her eyes at him, "You’re so annoying! Hasn’t your stomach ever grumbled?"
