When Aunt Li ca in to deliver water, she had already reported the return of Easton Hols and Lily Turner to the two people in the living room.
Seeing them walk in, the two people in the living room weren’t surprised, just puzzled.
"Why are you back? Your uncle said you were staying at your in-laws’ tonight." Before Easton Hols and Lily Turner could sit down, Callix Linton had already voiced his curiosity.
This was also Michael Linton’s concern, but besides being puzzled, he was also a bit worried. He looked up at the two approaching people, quietly observing them.
He focused on watching the changes in Lily Turner’s facial expressions, as he felt he wouldn’t be able to glean anything from Easton Hols’s face.
Easton Hols didn’t rush to answer Callix Linton’s question. After pulling Lily Turner over to sit down, only then did he explain to his grandfather, "Lily said it’s too far from the base, and she’s worried I’d be late in the morning, so we ca back."
He said it calmly, without a hint of lying.
Earlier, he said it was because the baby in her belly is used to eating Aunt Li’s cooking, and now he says it’s because it’s too far from the base.
This guy can’t keep his stories straight, can he?
Although Easton Hols’s explanations were inconsistent, Lily Turner could tell he was saying things to her advantage, and she felt a wave of gratitude rushing up from her heart.
If it weren’t for the presence of the other two people, she would have surely thrown herself into his arms in tears.
"Hmm."
Easton Hols sounded very serious, and since Callix Linton didn’t participate in the Turner Family’s marriage discussions, he didn’t doubt Easton Hols’s explanation, completely believing it to be true.
"Girl! You are so considerate!"
Believing Easton Hols, Callix Linton specially praised Lily Turner for being thoughtful of Easton, giving her a thumbs-up as he did.
Seeing this, Lily Turner felt embarrassed, "Grandpa~"
After calling out to her grandpa, she didn’t know what else to say.
"Are you shy from my complint?"
Seeing Lily Turner’s shy appearance, Callix Linton found her adorable and couldn’t help but tease her with a smile.
Worried that she’d beco even more bashful, he put down his thumbs-up.
Easton Hols jumped in before Lily Turner, "Grandpa! This is all your fault. If you praised her more often, she wouldn’t be so shy now."
He looked at his own grandpa with a half-joking, half-serious expression.
"Alright, alright, Grandpa will make sure to praise your wife more from now on." Callix Linton cooperated, joining in Easton Hols’s playful banter, feeling indescribably happy seeing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law so affectionate.
These days he had longed for are finally a reality, and his heart was filled with joy and complete happiness.
When Easton Hols was about to say sothing else, Lily Turner gave him a sideways glance, and he returned her a silent smile, changing the topic completely, "Grandpa! Why are you up so late today? Did you know we were coming back?"
Usually, by this ti, Callix Linton would have already gone to bed, but today he was still energetically sitting in the living room.
Easton Hols was just casually asking, but he already had his own answer in mind.
The reason his grandpa was up so late was partly because Uncle Michael Linton was there, and partly because of his and Lily Turner’s wedding matters.
