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.
