At this mont, Lily Turner really wanted to go ho to see her mother, regardless of whether Easton Hols agreed or not.
After saying this, she bypassed him standing in front of her, didn’t greet the other two people, and strode out of the living room.
Seeing this, Easton Hols quickly followed her. After a few steps, he caught up with the departing Lily Turner and grabbed her, "Can we go tomorrow?"
He looked at her with a worried expression, unsure if she would listen to him.
"I have to go now."
At this mont, Lily was like a stubborn child who insisted on doing what she wanted, regardless of what the person in front of her thought.
"You should go with Lily."
Just as there was a slight stalemate between Easton and Lily, Michael Linton’s voice ca from behind. Both of them instinctively turned to glance at Michael, who nodded at them.
After nodding, Michael looked at Easton, and the two exchanged a silent look before Easton took Lily and left.
Seeing the young couple leave, Callix Linton and Michael Linton finally withdrew their gazes from the direction of the door and, as if by tacit understanding, simultaneously looked at each other.
"Dad! Please wait a mont before asking. I need to make a call first." Michael knew what his father wanted to ask and was clear about it, but he had more important and urgent matters to attend to.
After greeting him, he took out the phone from his pocket and found Sophia Wood’s number in the contacts. Without hesitation, he dialed it.
"Hello!"
After the phone rang for a long ti, soone on the other end finally answered, and after saying hello, she imdiately added, "I haven’t thought it through yet. Give a few more..."
Sophia assud Michael was calling about the matter they discussed a few days ago. Before the other party could urge her, she proactively asked for more ti.
But she misjudged. He was calling her not to hurry her but to tell her that Easton Hols was bringing Lily Turner to see her.
Michael interrupted her anxiously before Sophia could finish speaking, "I’m not calling to rush you. I’m calling to tell you that Easton and Lily are coming to see you now, Lily she..."
"What’s going on with Lily?"
Sophia’s tone unintentionally carried a hint of worry. Michael could clearly feel it over the phone, though she herself didn’t realize it.
Michael hesitated for a mont, but ultimately spoke the truth: "Lily found out about what happened over twenty years ago."
He spoke cautiously, as if afraid of startling the person on the other end of the phone.
"How did Lily find out? Did you tell her?" Sophia’s voice was much louder than before, and her tone beca more urgent.
Michael expected this reaction, sighed quietly, and replied, "Lily found out entirely by accident, but now’s not the ti to discuss this. I’m calling just to give you a heads-up."
The situation developed too suddenly, caught him off guard, but fortunately, the girl did not have an extre reaction.
"How could you be so careless?"
After blaming them, Sophia rudely hung up the phone without caring what Michael Linton on the other end might think.
