Being interrupted by Callix Linton was no surprise to Easton Holmes, because he had anticipated such a scenario would happen before he even started speaking.
"At the time, Lily and her mom were chatting in the room, while I was in the living room with her dad." Easton told Callix the actual situation honestly, without any deceit, and he wasn’t planning to hide anything, "But I could see that Lily and her mom were having a good conversation, and her mom didn’t intend to separate us. Her parents were very warm to me."
Her dad had been warm to him from the very beginning, but her mom was different. Not only did she oppose them being together, but she also forced her to terminate the pregnancy, even going as far as buying the medicine for her.
However, tonight felt noticeably different. Her dad was even warmer to him than before, and her mom had done a complete 360-degree turn in attitude.
Previously, she was very unfriendly to him, but now she was much more polite, and the look in her eyes was much gentler.
"Are you lying to us?"
Callix Linton didn’t doubt Easton Holmes’ judgment, just that he couldn’t afford to be careless as it concerned his grandson’s happiness.
Easton Holmes shook his head firmly: "I wouldn’t lie to either of you."
The two men sitting beside him were the best two men in his life and had influenced him the most. They would always be his family.
"Since her parents are so warm, why didn’t they let you two stay over?" Callix’s question suddenly made Michael remember the situation from a few days ago, tonight was simply a repeat of that night.
Easton’s next answer made the two of them even more convinced that the current situation was a repeat of that night, "Her parents asked us to stay, but I was worried about disturbing them by leaving early in the morning."
That was the truth, he didn’t make things up, but he was most worried about her and the child’s safety.
"It’s exactly the same!"
After hearing what Easton Holmes had to say, Callix Linton summarized it in four words.
"Huh?"
Easton Holmes had a momentary lapse in understanding what his grandpa meant, clearly stunned.
Michael Linton raised his hand and pointed at him to explain: "Silly boy! Your grandpa suspects you’re hiding something from us, just like last time."
The situation tonight was too similar to that night, it was just like his old father said, exactly the same!
"How could I hide anything from you?"
Actually, Easton had realized it earlier, but he hadn’t had the chance to speak before Michael Linton beat him to it.
Callix didn’t respond to this, just tilted his head and looked at Easton, waiting for him to say something more.
"Grandpa! Why are you looking at me like that? I really have nothing to hide from you and Uncle." The matter of Lily Turner being forced to take medicine by Sophia Wood was something Easton absolutely wouldn’t let Callix know. If the old man knew about it, there would be no need to worry about how they would react.
Given his personality, he would definitely call and question the other party.
This matter was already in the past, now their relationship was much better, and he didn’t want any further complications.
Easton spoke firmly, showing no sign of lying, and Callix Linton couldn’t see through it, but Michael Linton wasn’t that easy to fool.
"Dad! It’s already late, and Easton has to get up early tomorrow." Michael Linton picked up his phone to check the time, and it was almost midnight.
