Ranaway From Wedding, Fell into Tycoon's Love Trap-Chapter 567: Unexpected Call
Callix Linton’s sudden burst of righteousness left Lily Turner a bit bewildered. When did she say Easton Holmes was bullying her? Was there something wrong with her facial expression?
She instinctively touched her face, but couldn’t feel anything unusual.
"Easton hasn’t bullied me."
She didn’t know what went wrong, causing Callix to misunderstand while sitting next to her, so she quickly explained, and after that, she didn’t forget to express her gratitude to him, "Grandpa! But I still want to thank you."
Whether Callix was joking about seeking revenge for her or not, she found him exceptionally adorable and was deeply moved by his actions.
Seeing the expression on Lily Turner’s face lighten up instantly, Callix began to wonder if he had misunderstood something. The couple hadn’t experienced any unhappiness at all.
That’s right! The couple was newly married for only a few months and was in a period of deep affection, how could they be unhappy?
It seemed he was getting old, his eyes failing to see the situation clearly.
"As long as he hasn’t bullied you. If that rascal does, you must tell Grandpa, and I’ll stand up for you." Although he was now aware of his mistake, he didn’t want to make it too obvious with his words. He hoped he would never have such an opportunity, wishing them everlasting sweetness.
"Got it, Grandpa! If that rascal does bully me, I’ll tell you right away." Lily Turner mimicked Callix’s tone, referring to Easton as a rascal, and after speaking, she quickly glanced at the phone.
Making sure she had hung up the call earlier, she...
Suddenly, the phone rang, startling the guilty Lily Turner almost to a scream, but she managed to control herself in time.
Lily glanced down at the incoming call display, relieved it wasn’t Easton’s number but a completely unfamiliar mobile number. She took a breath and answered the call.
"Hello! Who is this?"
Not knowing who it was on the other side, she politely inquired.
"...Lily, right? It’s Uncle."
The call was from Michael Linton, who perhaps hadn’t expected Lily to answer, and took a moment before speaking.
Hearing it was Michael on the line, Lily quickly responded, "Uncle! Are you calling to speak with Grandpa..."
"I’m not looking for your Grandpa, just you."
Before Lily could finish her sentence, Michael cut her off from the other side.
Hearing that he was looking for her specifically, she felt very puzzled, "Looking for me?"
Just after asking, she suddenly remembered. Earlier, her mom mentioned discussing something with her uncle, and they had quickly gotten in touch?
"Yes! Looking for you!"
Michael understood that Lily was surprised and puzzled by his call asking for her, not that she hadn’t heard him clearly. He immediately clarified, "Uncle wants to invite you and Easton to dinner tonight at a restaurant. You don’t have other plans, do you?"
His main intended guest was her, and he’d achieve his purpose with this call as long as she said she was available.
"You want to invite me and Easton to dinner?"
At this moment, Lily was even more surprised and puzzled than before. Why was Michael suddenly inviting her and Easton for dinner? What exactly was going on?
She was convinced this wasn’t simply a dinner invitation, it wasn’t just about having a meal.
