Chapter 1689: I Want to See Him Today

Seeing Easton Holmes go upstairs with Ann to take a bath, Amelia Linton didn’t stay any longer. She went upstairs with the housemaid, taking Rosie Thompson and Evie, to bathe the two little cuties.

“Athena! Can we talk?”

Everyone had left, just as Lily Turner had intended. She tugged at Athena Linton’s sleeve, indicating she wanted to chat in the living room.

Athena Linton didn’t respond verbally but cooperated with Lily Turner by action. The two of them walked, one after the other, into the living room.

“Do you want some water?”

Sitting down, Lily Turner didn’t immediately start to chat or have a heart-to-heart talk; instead, she poured a glass of water for herself and Athena Linton.

Athena Linton waved her hand, declining the water offered by Lily Turner, “I’m not thirsty.”

Lily Turner didn’t insist and drank her own water. After half a glass, she suppressed her somewhat unstable emotions before speaking, “Athena! Did you come to Flame City this time to find Thomas Fisher?”

She already had the answer in her mind, and she knew it was correct. She still wanted to confirm it.

“Goddess sister! Do you look down on me like they do? Think I’m no longer a pure girl and not worthy of Thomas anymore.” Athena Linton didn’t directly answer Lily Turner’s question but responded emotionally.

Seeing Athena Linton suddenly become agitated, Lily Turner knew that the incident had significantly affected Athena Linton, as it would most girls.

“Athena! Do you think I’m that kind of person? You are my sister-in-law, but even if you were a stranger, I wouldn’t look down on you.” Lily Turner moved closer to Athena Linton, placing an arm around her shoulder. “Athena! Love is a matter between two people, not…”

“Goddess sister! Do you think Thomas would fall in love with me?” Athena Linton interrupted Lily, turning to look intently at her.

Lily Turner didn’t expect Athena Linton to ask so directly and was taken aback for a moment. She tilted her head to look at Athena, “Your Thomas is now my brother-in-law; he and my sister have registered for marriage.”

Given how straightforward the question was, there was no need to beat around the bush. Sometimes directness is more effective.

“Goddess sister! Are you joking with me? Isn’t your sister Benjamin Shaw’s wife? How could she marry Thomas?” Athena Linton knew some things but refused to believe those things were true.

Lily Turner rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache, “My sister divorced Benjamin Shaw five years ago. Now my sister is Thomas Fisher’s legal wife. They just registered a few days ago.”

“No, you must be lying to me. I’m going to find Thomas right now and ask him myself.”

Athena Linton shrugged off Lily Turner’s arm from her shoulder and got up, heading toward the door.

Seeing this, Lily Turner quickly got up to chase after her. Athena Linton walked fast and urgently. Although Lily was tall with long legs, she still struggled to keep up.

She caught up with her sister-in-law just as they reached the door. After catching up, she didn’t hesitate to grab her sister-in-law.

“He’s currently entertaining guests; if you want to ask, wait till tomorrow.” Her sister-in-law was so agitated that she genuinely feared she would act impulsively.

“No, I want to find him today and clarify some things.” Athena Linton was entirely focused on finding Thomas, not caring about anything else.
