In the past few days, Michael Linton and Easton Holmes have indeed been discussing how to talk to Lily Turner about this matter. However, they hadn’t come up with a solid solution when suddenly this situation erupted tonight.
"Don’t be so agitated just yet. Let’s go home first, and I’ll explain it to you slowly once we’re back." This matter isn’t something that can be explained clearly in a short while, especially since she seemed quite emotionally unstable at the moment.
He needed to calm her down first, and only after that could he slowly explain everything to her.
Lily Turner had been puzzled about her identity for many years. Now that she finally had some news, she didn’t want to wait any longer.
"Tell me here. I want to know immediately if what she said is true." She grabbed his arm, stopping him from pulling her back home.
"I was going to say..."
"Shut up!"
When Evelyn Taylor opened her mouth to speak, Easton Holmes sharply cut her off, glaring at her furiously. Only then did he turn his eyes back to Lily Turner, and in that instant, his gaze softened significantly, "Listen! We’ll talk at home, and I promise I’ll make everything clear then."
He coaxed the woman beside him like one would persuade a child, trying to lure her into going back home with him.
"Ah!"
Having been both slapped and scolded today, Evelyn Taylor screamed in anger at Easton Holmes before turning and running away crying.
The sudden scream not only startled Easton Holmes and Lily Turner but also the passersby, who turned to look at the fleeing figure.
The two of them just glanced at the person running away and then, in unison, started heading home.
"Why did you both come back so quickly?"
Seeing the two who had just gone out for a walk return so soon, Michael Linton, who was digesting food in the yard, was quite puzzled.
He glanced at Easton Holmes and then at Lily Turner, both of whom looked quite unusual, sparking a sudden worry in his heart.
Easton Holmes was the first to speak: "Emergency!"
With those two words easily addressing his uncle, he pulled her along and headed into the house.
As Easton Holmes walked past, he turned and gave Michael Linton a look, and Michael immediately knew he was lying and that they returned so quickly because something was up, something serious.
Not knowing what had happened, Michael Linton instinctively wanted to follow them in, but after taking just one step, he suddenly stopped.
This was a matter between the young couple, and it wasn’t appropriate for him as an elder to intrude, especially since his nephew was quite capable of handling any tricky problem.
Once Easton Holmes and Lily Turner entered the house, they didn’t stop for a moment, heading directly and swiftly to their room on the second floor.
"Alright, you can tell me now."
As soon as they walked into the room, without even having the chance to sit down, Lily Turner eagerly tugged on Easton Holmes’s sleeve and asked.
Seeing this, he sighed internally and didn’t insist that she sit down first. He allowed her to tug on his sleeve, standing where he was as he started to speak to her. "Alright! I’ll tell you now, but you have to promise me you won’t get upset."
Before speaking, he felt compelled to caution her.
"I promise I won’t get upset, just hurry up and tell me."
Lily Turner was anxious to learn about her identity and couldn’t be bothered with much else. She shook Easton Holmes by the sleeve, urging him to tell her quickly.
