Easton Holmes never expected that, after nineteen years, Lily Turner would still remember this matter so vividly, to the extent that she would even talk about it in her dreams.
Who exactly is that "Brother Chen" in her deepest memories? Where could he be now?
Brother Chen! Brother Chen!
She calls him so affectionately; why didn’t he notice that she would call him so affectionately when she addressed him?
Watching Lily Turner sleeping sweetly in his arms, Easton Holmes felt an impulse to bite her awake, but thinking about the consequences, he immediately suppressed the desire.
Naughty girl! If you dare to call out for Brother Chen again, I won’t be polite with you.
Easton Holmes muttered in his heart against the sleeping Lily Turner, and as if she heard his muttering in her sleep, she stopped talking in her dreams and continued to sleep peacefully and soundly.
Lily Turner slept very deeply, so much so that when Easton Holmes went out in the morning, she didn’t feel a thing.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was not until a loud knocking sounded at the door that she slowly awoke from her slumber.
Lily Turner rubbed her sleepy eyes, turned over toward the direction of the door, thinking it was Auntie Li calling her for breakfast, she loudly replied, "Auntie! I know, I’ll come down for breakfast soon."
After saying that, she turned over intending to go back to sleep.
"Goddess sister! It’s me! Have you woken up? I’m coming in." The voice outside wasn’t that of Auntie Li, Lily Turner frowned and turned back, just then Athena Linton pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing who came in, she suddenly remembered that her aunt and cousin had come yesterday, "What time is it now? Why are you up so early?"
While asking, Lily Turner reached for the watch on the bedside table, but before she could reach it, Athena Linton already announced the time, "It’s ten-twenty now."
Athena Linton walked over and plopped down on the edge of the bed, not needing Lily Turner to invite her to sit, she was very conscious and proactive.
"It’s already ten-twenty?"
Lily Turner wasn’t surprised or shocked because she’s been sleeping especially heavily these days, generally waking up around this time, she sat up in bed, "Why don’t you sleep a little longer? Ha... yawn..."
While speaking, she let out a big yawn.
Because she had met her idol, Athena Linton was too excited to sleep; on a normal day, she would sleep in until late in the morning when she didn’t have school, but today she got up before seven.
After dressing up, she left her room to find Lily Turner, but just a few steps out, her mother intercepted her midway.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother; Serena Zimmerman knew Athena Linton would go looking for Lily Turner upon waking, so she left her own bedroom door half-open after getting up.
Upon hearing movement from Athena Linton’s room, she immediately exited her room; as she expected, her daughter was indeed planning to find Lily Turner.
To prevent her from disturbing Lily Turner’s sleep and to stop her from always pestering Lily, Serena Zimmerman told her about Lily Turner being pregnant, constantly reminding her not to cause trouble or constantly pester Lily.
If it weren’t for her mother’s timely intervention and reminders, Athena Linton would have woken Lily Turner up long ago, instead of waiting until this late to knock.
"Goddess sister! Why don’t you sleep a bit more, I’ll sit there waiting for you." Seeing Lily Turner’s repeated yawning, Athena Linton thought she might not be fully awake yet, but she didn’t want to leave either, so she pointed to the sofa nearby, deciding to sit there and wait.
