When Lily Turner and Easton Hols arrived at the canteen with a few others, those who ca before them had already ford their own groups and sat down. Their comrades were busy serving tea and pouring water, with the prepared cold dishes and wedding wine already set on the tables.
By this ti, Lily Turner had changed out of her wedding dress and into a bright red evening gown. She originally wanted to wear a cheongsam, but because her belly was slightly protruding, she had to give up her preferred choice and opt for a dress with a slightly loose skirt.
Considering the need to walk around to toast guests, she even took off her high heels and wore flat shoes of the sa color as her dress. Luckily, she was tall enough that the dress didn’t drag on the ground.
However, wearing flat shoes next to Easton Hols made her feel sowhat disadvantaged, as he was a full head taller than her. Despite this, they still appeared well-matched.
Since Lily Turner was pregnant, she was drinking warm water instead of alcohol during toasts. As the color of the water and wine was the sa, the guests didn’t notice the switch.
After making her rounds, she felt overwhelmingly full even without eating anything.
"Where’s the restroom?"
After finishing the toasts, Lily Turner imdiately wanted to head to the restroom and, tugging on Easton Hols’ sleeve, she asked quietly.
"I’ll take you there."
Easton Hols put down his wine glass and took Lily Turner’s hand, ready to leave the canteen for the restroom. But as he was about to take a step, his comrades called out to him.
"Hey, buddy! No need to rush ho so quickly to the bridal chamber, the banquet isn’t even over yet." Seeing Easton Hols dragging Lily Turner out in a hurry, the comrades thought he was eager to bring his bride ho, and each of their minds wandered regarding what they might do.
As soon as the comrade finished speaking, Lily Turner’s face turned a shy shade of red. She glanced at her comrades and then tilted her head to look at the man beside her, whispering so only the two of them could hear, "Just tell where the restroom is, I can go by myself."
Seeing him teased by his comrades, she didn’t want him to be in an awkward situation because of her. Besides, she was old enough to take care of herself.
"Do you guys have any objections? If you do, just keep them to yourselves." Easton Hols didn’t heed Lily Turner’s idea of staying to accompany his comrades. Instead, he responded to them with domineering confidence before calmly taking her out of the canteen, completely unfazed by the surprised looks shot his way.
But Lily Turner wasn’t as composed as the man. As she left, she looked back at the comrades who were now staring at him as if they were looking at a monster.
"Honey! Your comrades have misunderstood, and they’ll tease you about this later." Those comrades clearly misunderstood, or they wouldn’t be looking at them with such expressions.
"Misunderstood what? Misunderstood that I’m so attached to my wife?" Easton Hols appeared completely indifferent, walking alongside Lily Turner without any care for others’ gazes.
Even after leaving the canteen, Lily Turner was still glancing back. Easton Hols simply pulled her close to him, "No need to look back anymore, let them misunderstand if they want. Being close to my wife isn’t anything to be ashad of; they’re just envious of ."
He adjusted his arm, wrapping it tightly around her.
"Honey! I’ve noticed your skin is getting thicker." As Lily Turner was speaking, she instinctively raised her hand to pinch Easton Hols’ cheek, but halfway up, she suddenly saw Alia Linton following them.
