Although Sophia Wood didn’t directly say the words "I agree," from the content of her text message, Michael Linton could feel that her attitude had greatly shifted.
This made him happy, as his righteous stand had been effective. He decided to continue his efforts and strive to complete this matter perfectly as soon as possible.
Michael Linton didn’t cancel the dinner with Easton Holmes and Lily Turner, nor did he cancel the arrangement with Aiden Taylor. Under his arrangement, the four of them arrived at Shangpin Ju as planned in the evening.
"Why do I feel like your uncle is hiding something from us?" Lily Turner had been mulling over it at home for the entire afternoon. Since receiving Michael Linton’s invitation to dinner, she kept thinking and the more she thought, the less she believed this dinner was just a simple meal.
Hearing this, Easton Holmes turned to look at Lily Turner. Seeing her puzzled expression, he couldn’t help but gently pat her cheek, "Don’t overthink it; it might affect our daughter’s development."
He had the same doubts as she did, but he didn’t intend to discuss them with her. They would find out everything once they went in, so why bother about it now?
"I’m being serious here, can you stop being so unserious?" Lily Turner brushed away the hand on her cheek and gave the owner of the hand a stern look.
Seeing the situation as it was, she knew she wouldn’t get anything out of him, so she turned to get out of the car.
Easton Holmes swiftly grabbed her as she was about to get out, worried he might accidentally hurt her during her pregnancy. His movement was gentle but enough to pull her back.
"Honey! Explain to me, how was I being unserious just now?" He tightly held her wrist, his eyes fixed intently on her, giving her no chance to escape.
"Easton Holmes! Do you know how pigs die?"
Was he really that clueless? Why couldn’t she see it?
Lily Turner didn’t dodge or hide, facing Easton Holmes fearlessly. How could she not see he was doing it on purpose? Since he was doing it on purpose, she decided to play along.
Upon hearing this, Easton Holmes began to say, "Of course, it’s because..."
Suddenly realizing she was indirectly calling him a pig, he stopped himself in time, biting his teeth at her. He raised his other hand to pinch her cheek, "Honey! You’re getting better at teasing me."
As he spoke, he pinched her cheek again.
"Easton Holmes! You’re getting better at bullying me."
Imitating Easton Holmes’s expression and tone, Lily Turner immediately retorted. After speaking, she raised her hand to brush off his hand pinching her cheek.
Seeing her mimicry, he couldn’t help but laugh, "Honey! You’re so adorable."
While speaking, he raised the hand she’d just pushed away and couldn’t resist pinching her cheek again.
This action immediately earned him a glare from her. Before she could lose her temper, he quickly raised a white flag: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry."
"Uncle has already gone in, let’s get out of the car and go in too." As soon as Easton Holmes finished speaking, Lily Turner instinctively turned to look at the restaurant entrance. As she turned her head, he let go of her hand and stepped out of the car.
Bam!
Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Lily Turner withdrew her gaze from the restaurant entrance. Turning back, she realized that Easton Holmes had already gotten out of the car.
Not wanting to delay any longer, she also reached for the car door to get out.
