As he watched the figure walking up the stairs, Easton Hols breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t concerned that Lily Turner staying there was inappropriate, but rather worried that sitting there would make her uncomfortable. He was even more worried that she might overthink things after knowing the identities of Aiden Taylor and his wife.
Her emotions had finally cald down after these days, and he didn’t want her to be stimulated again at this ti, as it would not be good for her or the baby in her belly.
It wasn’t until he saw Lily Turner’s figure disappear around the staircase corner that Easton Hols headed toward the kitchen. Just as he was about to reach the kitchen door, he saw Auntie Li coming out with two steaming cups of tea.
"Auntie! Let do it."
Easton Hols walked over, took the two cups of tea from Auntie Li’s hands, and turned to stride back to the living room.
Seeing Easton Hols walk in alone, a change flickered across Harriet White’s face, though it was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.
Aiden Taylor, however, showed no change. He rely glanced at Easton Hols as he walked in and then continued his warm conversation with Callix Linton.
"Easton! We aren’t outsiders; you don’t have to be so polite." As Easton Hols approached, Harriet White stood up and reached out to take the teacup from his hands, only to grasp at air.
Before Harriet could reach out, Easton’s hand holding the tea had already moved aside. "The tea is a bit hot."
He explained while placing the teacups on the coffee table in front of Aiden Taylor and his wife.
After setting the cups down, he walked to a seat so distance away and sat down.
"Easton is really considerate, far better than our two at ho." Harriet White’s awkwardness instantly turned to admiration upon hearing Easton Hols’s warm explanation. She glanced at Callix Linton, her eyes full of envy, "Old leader! You are really fortunate."
This praise was absolutely genuine, without any ulterior motives. She was purely complinting Easton Hols.
Being praised, Easton’s face bead with joy, even more than when he was praised himself. "Yes, ever since our Easton boy got married, he has beco more considerate and mature."
Callix Linton’s smiling eyes concealed so subtle emotions, hidden so well that the other three didn’t notice.
But Easton Hols picked up on the hidden aning in Callix Linton’s words. His grandpa was ostensibly praising him, but in fact, he was praising his wife.
"Easton! I have to say, it’s not right to keep sothing as significant as your marriage from all of us. It’s one thing to keep it from outsiders, but even we were kept in the dark." Harriet White had been wondering how to bring up Easton’s marriage, and now Callix Linton had given her the perfect opportunity. She couldn’t miss such a chance.
Easton Hols wasn’t surprised or shocked by what Harriet White said, as he had already anticipated this.
"This can’t be blad on Easton. It was my idea to keep it from everyone." Callix Linton spoke up before Easton could, taking all the responsibility upon himself. "Lily is a public figure, and it’s not suitable for Easton to ’show his face’ too much. The fewer people who know about their marriage, the better."
Upon hearing this, only one person felt surprised and confused, and that was Mrs. Harriet White. "I noticed other celebrities are quite high-profile about their weddings, making a big deal out of it. I think that’s fine; stars are just people too, and getting married is normal."
