"You, you, you..."
Watching Easton Holmes walk in through the door, Lily Turner’s jaw almost dropped to the floor. She was stunned into stammering "you" repeatedly without managing to say another word.
In her haste to come out of the bathroom, Lily had casually tied the belt of her bathrobe, leaving it loose and barely covering her at all.
Easton hadn’t expected to see such a scene upon entering. To prevent himself from losing control and inadvertently hurting the pregnant her, he quickly turned his gaze away.
"Hurry and change your clothes, I’m taking you somewhere." He spoke without daring to make eye contact with her standing next to him.
"Hmm?"
Lily finally snapped out of her shock upon hearing Easton’s voice, but she hadn’t caught a single word of what he said.
"Hurry and change your clothes, we’ll talk after." Easton raised his voice this time, hoping it would prompt Lily to quickly get inside and change. If she didn’t, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t lose control.
Upon hearing this, Lily instinctively glanced down at herself and realized she was still in her bathrobe, looking quite alluring.
Ignoring her embarrassment, she immediately turned and walked towards the room, sticking out her tongue shyly as she turned.
Watching her quickly head to the room, Easton allowed a charming smile to form on his lips. It wasn’t until her figure disappeared at the doorway that he averted his gaze.
Lily’s place wasn’t quite what Easton had imagined. He thought her home would be lavishly decorated, but every corner he looked at was so simple and modest.
Easton toured the house as he waited for Lily to change. As he prepared to head to the balcony, she emerged from the room.
"All dressed?"
Seeing Lily come out, Easton quickly changed direction and walked over to her. Once by her side, he took her hand and started towards the door, "Come with me."
"Where are you taking me?"
Easton, without giving her a chance to resist, pulled her along. Bewildered, Lily instinctively struggled, trying to pull her hand back, but his grip was too strong, and she couldn’t free herself despite several attempts.
Lily’s resistance irked Easton slightly. He tilted his head to glance at her, "I’m not going to sell you."
With that, he led her out of the apartment.
"I’m not afraid you’ll sell me, I’m afraid you’ll pocket all the money." Lily retorted spontaneously upon hearing Easton’s words.
Upon hearing this, Easton couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely split the money with you half and half."
This girl was far more interesting than he had imagined, and it seemed his life would become much more entertaining from now on.
"You!" Lily glared at the man with feigned irritation, "I demand ninety percent."
"No problem, I’ll give you all the money if you want, I have no objections whatsoever."
Thanks to Easton’s joke, Lily momentarily forgot about the previous topic. It wasn’t until they left the apartment building and got into the car that she suddenly remembered. Turning to face him, who was just starting the car, she looked at him with confusion, "Where exactly are you taking me?"
"A place to take responsibility for you."
Easton glanced at the woman beside him and drove the car out of the neighborhood.
