As Lily Turner’s devoted fan, Athena Linton got hooked on Lily from the moment she saw her.
No matter if it was eating or sitting down to chat, Athena was always right by Lily’s side, even insisting on sleeping next to Lily at night, refusing to go to bed without her.
"Athena! Stop clinging to your sister-in-law, she and your brother are going to rest now." Seeing Athena insisting on following Lily to the room, Serena Zimmerman quickly stepped forward to grab her, fearing she might break free, Serena’s grip was firm.
Athena ignored her mother and began negotiating with her brother Easton Holmes, "Brother! Let’s switch rooms, you sleep in my room and I’ll sleep with sister-in-law in your room."
If her mom hadn’t been holding her so tightly, she would have pounced on her goddess sister by now.
Seeing this situation, Michael Linton felt a headache coming on. This girl had already clung to that woman for so long and still didn’t let go even at bedtime. What was this girl up to?
"Athena! Stop messing around and go to your own room now." Michael felt that unless he spoke up, his daughter wouldn’t settle down, and her actions would trouble the young couple.
"I..."
"Listen!"
Just as Athena was about to open her mouth to argue further, Michael cut her off with a warning tone.
In her eyes, her father was always a very authoritative figure, and from childhood to adulthood, she was quite afraid of him.
Seeing her dad’s stern face, she didn’t dare continue arguing about switching rooms with her cousin.
"Goddess sister! See you tomorrow."
Athena waved to Lily, cast an unhappy glance at Michael and Serena, and reluctantly returned to her room.
Seeing their daughter obediently return to her room, Serena finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to her husband Michael, "Let’s also go and rest."
After saying goodbye to Easton and Lily, Michael and Serena also returned to their room.
With the family all back in their rooms, the hallway that was bustling just moments ago suddenly went quiet.
"Goddess wife! Everyone’s back in their rooms, let’s also hurry back to ours." Easton imitated Athena’s tone before pulling Lily into the room. That girl had clung to his wife for so long, but now it was finally peaceful, and he and his wife could return to their couple’s world.
After spending time with Athena, Lily found her quite amusing. Although the first impression wasn’t perfect, it didn’t affect their latter interactions.
"Don’t mimic her, you’re not as cute as she is, I’m put off." She said she disliked it, but it was completely insincere. She obviously liked it very much, yet wanted to tease him by saying the opposite. If she didn’t tease him at least once a day, she felt like something was missing.
Does she have some kind of problem? Or is her brain malfunctioning? Sometimes she really doubted herself.
"Oh, you’re put off by me?"
Before Easton’s words could fade, he already reached out to grab Lily’s wrist, and by the time she reacted, he already had her in his arms.
"Honey! This isn’t very good, Uncle and the others are all upstairs. What if they see us uh..."
Before Lily could finish, Easton suddenly leaned down and kissed her, sealing her lips, quieting her chatter instantly.
