Ranaway From Wedding, Fell into Tycoon's Love Trap-Chapter 566: Has Qing Xiaozi Been Bullying You Again?

The shouts between Lily Turner and Callix Linton were transmitted through the phone into Easton Holmes’s ears. The two of them sounded funny, but he just couldn’t laugh.

Especially when he heard her reply, his heart felt somewhat uncomfortable instead.

"If I run, I’ll drag you along with me."

As he heard someone pick up the phone, he was sure it was her who had just walked over because he heard her panting. Before she could speak, he continued from where she left off and said a sentence.

"Hmm? Oh!"

When she just heard Easton Holmes’s words, she didn’t react for a moment, but Lily Turner immediately caught on. She instinctively glanced at Callix Linton sitting not far away. "I was just joking around with Grandpa. You have really sharp ears; I’ll have to be more careful in the future."

His words instantly swept away the sadness in her heart, and a smile quietly crept up her cheeks.

"I’m like the wind, so you’ll need to be extra careful when you speak in the future." Over the phone, Easton Holmes could tell that Lily Turner’s mood was pretty good, at least not as gloomy as last night. He could finally relax a bit after having been worried for so long.

Before taking the call, Lily Turner thought Easton Holmes was calling because Sophia Wood was causing trouble again, but from the current situation, she felt it didn’t seem to be the case.

"Did you call just to tell me this? If so, I’ve received the message. I’ll hang up now..."

"Don’t hang up!"

Lily Turner didn’t know the real reason Easton Holmes was calling, but she was sure it wasn’t just to say these things. She said that intentionally, just to stop him from joking further. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

This tactic was indeed effective. Before she could utter the last word, he anxiously interrupted her.

Whether Lily Turner was really going to hang up or not, Easton Holmes took it seriously and promptly stopped her from hanging up. "When did you get up? Have you eaten yet?"

Last night, Lily Turner fell asleep very late, and when Easton Holmes left for the Military Department in the morning, he specifically instructed Aunt Li not to wake her for breakfast. She should eat whenever she wakes up.

After finishing his work, he saw it was almost lunchtime, and he was worried she might stay cooped up in her room instead of coming downstairs. It’s definitely something she might do.

To prevent her from doing something silly like starving herself, he purposely called to urge her a bit.

"I just got up not long ago, and I’m about to have something to eat." She couldn’t very well tell him she was sulking in the bathroom just now; otherwise, he’d start nagging her again. Besides, she wasn’t lying—she was indeed planning to eat.

"Why are you only going to eat now? Is that breakfast or lunch you’re having?" Upon hearing that she just got up and hadn’t eaten yet, Easton Holmes felt a bit anxious and sighed. Before she could say anything, he continued, "I won’t talk to you anymore. Hurry up and go eat, okay? Bye!"

Without waiting for her to say anything else, he immediately hung up after speaking.

BEEP!

The sudden beeping sound in her ear let Lily Turner know that Easton Holmes had really hung up. She frowned slightly; this guy! Hanging up so fast, she still had things to say, okay?

The little frown on Lily Turner’s face happened to catch Callix Linton’s attention. Seeing her frown and hang up, he assumed Easton Holmes had said something unpleasant, so his sense of justice surged. "Did Easton bully you again? Don’t worry, Grandpa will get back at him for you."
