Chapter 1679: She Misunderstood What I Meant

Seeing that her mom and sister both doubted what she said, Lily Turner was both angry and amused, “What do you two mean? Do you think I’m making things up to smear him? What good would it do for me to smear him?”

“Mom and I didn’t say you’re smearing Easton. We’re saying, did you misunderstand Easton?” Alice Turner couldn’t believe that Easton Holmes would really hit Anan. Anan was so lovable. They all adored Anan, so how could Easton, Anan’s father, do it?

Sophia Wood nodded in agreement with Alice’s words, but Lily was convinced that Easton was indeed going to hit Anan. If she hadn’t stopped him in time, her precious son’s bottom would have been bruised.

“I did not misunderstand him; I saw with my own eyes that he raised his hand to hit Anan just now.”

That horrible man! He was simply too outrageous. How could he lay hands on Anan?

Lily shouted angrily in her heart, clenching her hands into fists where they rested on her lap. She looked as if she was ready to pick a fight.

Seeing this, Sophia and Alice each took one of Lily’s fists in hand.

“Don’t be angry. What if you scare Anan by being so angry?” Sophia firmly gripped Alice’s fist, comforting her to stop being angry.

Alice lightly patted Lily on the back with her other hand, softly consoling her, “Calm down. It’s not worth harming your health over such a small matter.”

“How could…”

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong!

At that moment, the urgent doorbell rang.

The same figure flashed simultaneously in the minds of all three women, the figure being Easton Holmes.

“I’ll get the door.”

Sophia released Lily’s hand, ready to get up and open the door, but before she could move, Lily held her back.

Lily angrily said, “Don’t open the door for him.”

While Lily was talking with Sophia, Alice took the opportunity to quickly get up and leave the living room to open the door for Easton.

As she reached the living room entrance, she heard her younger sister calling out to her discontentedly, “Sis!”

Alice didn’t respond, nor did she even turn her head, her steps remaining swift.

She hadn’t gone far from the living room when she saw Aunt Hua walking toward the door. She instinctively stopped but didn’t immediately return to the living room. Instead, she stood there waiting for Easton.

Her younger sister seemed so angry; she needed to find out what was going on. She couldn’t just listen to her sister’s one-sided story.

After Aunt Hua opened the door, Easton Holmes strode in, instinctively heading towards the living room. As he walked past, he suddenly saw Alice standing not far from the living room entrance.

His expression paused. His wife was really angry this time; she’d even called her elder sister over.

Was this going to be a triple interrogation?

However, Easton didn’t stop, still striding briskly. He nodded slightly at Alice, acknowledging her.

“What’s going on with you and Lily?”

Alice stopped Easton, who was about to enter the living room. She was definitely not questioning him; she was asking.

Seeing him stop, she continued to ask, “Lily said you were going to hit Anan? Were you really going to…”

“I wasn’t going to hit Anan. She misunderstood my intentions.” Before Alice could finish her sentence, Easton interrupted her.

After speaking, he bypassed her and strode into the living room, leaving his sister-in-law awkwardly standing at the entrance.
