Lily Turner did not question or express any disagreement with Easton Holmes’ words because she felt he was making a valid point. Strictly speaking, that house indeed did not suit her preferences.
"Since that house doesn’t suit you, we won’t live there in the future. You can handle it however you like when the time comes." Easton Holmes had no intention of taking Lily to live there. The place he wanted to take her now was his house in the Military District Compound. She was pregnant now, and it was very close to where he worked, so he could be by her side in the shortest time if anything happened.
Lily did not bring up the matter of the house at Jingyuan again, nor did she ask Easton where he was taking her now. She felt asking would just be a waste of breath, as he clearly didn’t want to tell her.
If he doesn’t want to tell, so be it. She would naturally find out when they arrived.
"I’ll take a nap. Wake me when we get there." Saying this to him, she turned away, leaning against the seat to rest with her eyes closed.
Easton only glanced at Lily, without making any verbal response. He focused on driving quickly towards their destination.
The car sped along the road for nearly an hour and a half before finally stopping in front of a courtyard.
As soon as the car stopped, Lily opened her eyes. Although she felt tired on the way, she hadn’t slept because something was on her mind.
"Is this the legendary Military District Compound?"
She noticed that people passing by the car were all dressed in green military uniforms, and the villas she saw didn’t quite fit the traditional image of a villa. Considering his status, she immediately thought this might indeed be the Military District Compound.
"Yes! This is the legendary Military District Compound." Legendary?! This girl really knows how to choose her words. Easton pulled out the car keys and was the first to get out, striding around to the passenger side and opening the door for Lily from the outside, "We’re home, get out of the car."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand to her, clearly intending to help her out of the car.
Lily looked at the hand extended towards her, hesitated for a moment, but eventually placed her hand openly in his palm.
Her willing cooperation took him by surprise and greatly improved his mood, causing a charming smile to spread across his lips.
This scene was seen by Luke Crowe, who followed them. Although he had occasionally seen smiles on Easton’s face recently, he was still surprised at this moment.
Their leader looked different from usual today, not only smiling but also with such a gentle gaze.
He had never seen such a gentle gaze before. He really wanted to take out his phone and capture this moment to show their colleagues Easton’s gentle side, but he didn’t have the courage.
"Luke! Come here!"
Hearing Easton call for him, Luke snapped back to reality, and it was only then that he noticed Easton and Lily standing at the gate looking at him.
Not knowing what was going on, he quickly put away his thoughts and strode over to them.
"Commander!"
In the Military District Compound, Luke addressed Easton differently.
"Go buy something..."
"I’d better go buy it myself. Just tell me where the supermarket is here." Lily didn’t bring anything with her when Easton brought her here. She could manage without other things, but she couldn’t possibly compromise on a toothbrush.
