Although Michael Linton was just his brother-in-law, Fabian Holmes couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe towards him. Especially as he grew older, this feeling grew more serious in his heart.
Already having a sense of awe towards his brother-in-law, and now being pressed step by step, his nerves instantly tightened.
In a moment of desperation, Fabian Holmes suddenly came up with an idea. He took the phone away from his ear, took a deep breath to relieve his tense nerves, and then put the phone back to his ear.
"I’ll put the phone to your sister’s ear now. You can call her." Fabian Holmes initially intended to casually place the phone aside and let Michael Linton call out from the other end, thinking he could muddle through the night.
But before he could take the phone away from his ear, he heard the person on the other end say, "No need, I’ll come over, I’m not able to sleep anyway."
Michael Linton’s words sent a cold sweat running down Fabian Holmes’ back, and he quickly refused, "We’re about to sleep now, come over tomorrow."
Due to his guilty conscience, his refusal lacked any confidence.
From the beginning of the phone call, Michael Linton felt that Fabian Holmes was acting very unusual, and this feeling grew stronger.
"Alright then, you guys sleep. I’ll come over first thing tomorrow."
Buzz!
Fabian Holmes thought Michael Linton was just being polite, until the sound of the phone disconnecting made him realize Michael Linton had already hung up.
Phew!
Taking a deep breath, Fabian Holmes took the phone away from his ear.
However, he didn’t feel any relief, knowing that by tomorrow, Amelia Linton’s condition could still be unpredictable. If she behaved erratically like before with that silly laughter, how would he face her family and the eldest son living with them?
Fabian Holmes never imagined that Michael Linton was already dressed and ready to head out, planning to check on Splendid Home’s situation.
"Uncle! Are you heading out?"
Hearing Easton Holmes’ voice, Michael Linton, who was walking towards the door, instinctively stopped and turned around.
After finishing the call with Fabian Holmes, Easton Holmes couldn’t fall back asleep. Restless, he didn’t want to bring his negative emotions in front of Lily Turner.
After Michael returned to his room, Easton lay down on the couch in the living room, planning to adjust his mood before returning to his room.
But while he was trying to adjust, he heard noises from his uncle’s room. Soon, he saw his uncle fully dressed, as if he were ready to go out.
His first thought was that his uncle was going to Splendid Home.
Seeing Easton Holmes come out from the living room, Michael Linton wasn’t surprised at all, "Why aren’t you upstairs sleeping yet?"
He even thought his question was a bit redundant since those two were indeed his nephew’s biological parents. Even if the relationship wasn’t great, the blood ties couldn’t be cut.
"Are you going there?"
Easton Holmes not only didn’t answer Michael’s question but also threw another question back at him.
Hearing this, Michael Linton paused and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
In his heart, he hoped his nephew would go with him, but he didn’t force his nephew. What his sister and brother-in-law did was excessive in his eyes, let alone his nephew.
