Easton Holmes still hadn’t let go of her, and Lily Turner’s expression gradually turned less pleasant, her gaze towards Easton no longer gentle.
"I just want you to come home with me, I don’t mean to take away your freedom." Although he said this, he gradually loosened the arm holding her.
Lily felt it, she felt that Easton’s arm around her back had loosened a lot, but she did not relax because of this. She still stared at him without blinking.
"I’m just staying at my mom’s for one night, just one night, I have no intention of staying there long-term." Based on her understanding of him, if she confronted him head-on now, not only would she be unable to leave here, but it would also cause an unpleasant situation.
"Then wait until tonight, I’ll go with you. For now, why don’t we go home?" Although Easton had loosened his arm, he still held Lily, with no intention of letting go for the moment. However, his attitude and tone were much softer than before, no longer as forceful as a moment ago.
Sigh!
Hearing this, Lily sighed with a headache, trying hard to suppress her urge to curse. Only then did she raise her head again to look at the man holding her tightly, "Did I not make myself clear earlier? Or did you not listen carefully?"
"But it doesn’t matter, I’ll say it again now, I hope this time you listen more clearly." She paused, then said, "We’re having a wedding tomorrow. Today, I, the bride, am going back to my parents’ home to stay. You, the groom, and I cannot meet today."
To ensure he wouldn’t pretend to be confused, she deliberately raised her voice this time.
"Did you hear that clearly? If not, I’ll say it again." Although she said this, she truly hoped she wouldn’t have to repeat herself.
"Why can’t we meet? What’s the big deal if we do?" At this point, Easton acted like a spoiled child, not reasoning with Lily at all. He was stubbornly holding onto his own belief, not letting go or giving in.
This was the first time she had seen such a side of Easton, and Lily felt that his current reaction wasn’t quite right, although she couldn’t quite put her finger on why.
"Meeting won’t change anything, but I just want to go see my mom, and she’s here to pick me up now. So please let me go." Since he was completely unreasonable, she stopped reasoning with him as well, speaking in a tone that wasn’t negotiable.
Lily turned her head to glance outside the courtyard gate, and indeed, she saw her mother, Sophia Wood’s car, parked not far from the gate.
Once again, she stretched her hand to tug at the arm behind her back, but just like before, she couldn’t pry it away even a bit.
"Easton Holmes! If you keep this up, I’ll really get mad, let me go!" His unreasonable behavior indeed made her a bit angry, and her expression turned much uglier than before.
"Then I’ll go with you now."
Easton didn’t let go of Lily, and after he finished speaking, he led her towards the passenger side, giving her no chance to break free or refuse.
Seeing this, Lily was utterly infuriated by Easton. She was so mad that she didn’t even know what to say.
She wanted to break free, but her strength was nothing to him, easily dismissible.
While she stood there angrily, not knowing what to say, he had already reached out to open the passenger side door, "Get in!"
