Upon learning that Lily Turner would be celebrating the New Year at Golden Morning, Athena Linton was beyond excited. During the days Lily stayed at the Linton’s, Athena called her several times a day, fearing that Lily might change her mind at the last minute and not go.

Seeing his wife being bombarded by his sister’s calls, Easton Holmes regretted telling his uncle too early about their visit.

As he watched his wife answering calls with regret, his phone buzzed beside him. He picked it up and upon seeing the caller ID, his brows instantly furrowed.

"Hello!" He stared at the phone for a moment before answering, speaking in a tone devoid of any emotion.

"Easton! I’m at the gate now. Could you call the sentry at the gate? It’s almost New Year, and I just want to come in to see you all and Grandpa. I’m not here to cause any trouble." The caller was Amelia Linton, who was stopped by the sentry at the gate. She had been stopped more than once before, but each time she left quietly. This time, she didn’t want to go back just like that.

Actually, Easton always knew when Amelia came, but he only heard about it in reports afterwards, by then, she had already left.

Every time she came quietly and left quietly, he felt uncomfortable inside, but he didn’t know what to do.

Every time she came to the house, the wife and Grandpa ended up arguing. Grandpa always ended up quite upset because of her. He didn’t want her to upset Grandpa again or trouble his wife. Right now, his wife’s belly was growing bigger and bigger, and if she caused a scene, his wife could be in danger.

I’m not here to cause you trouble!

Knowing Easton’s concerns, Amelia deliberately emphasized this at the end. He noticed the deliberate emphasis, which he heard and took to heart.

"Give the phone to the sentry." Although his tone was still calm, the words came out less cold and distant.

"...Alright!"

The person on the other end seemed surprised at his response, pausing for a moment before agreeing.

"Hello! How can I help you?" A loud male voice was now heard over the phone.

"This is Easton Holmes. You can let her through."

"Yes, sir!"

Easton immediately hung up the call after hearing the sentry’s response. After hanging up, he glanced at his wife, still chatting with his sister, and then got up to leave the living room to find his grandfather, who had just returned to his room.

At this moment, Callix Linton had just finished washing his feet and was about to go to bed. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside and instinctively turned to look at the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

After the footsteps stopped, a knocking sound followed.

"You brat! Come in."

Callix Linton knew who it was just by the footsteps. After calling out, he sat back down on the bed.

Easton Holmes pushed open the door, but didn’t walk further inside. He stood at the doorway and said, "She’s here to see you. Do you want to go out and meet her?"

He referred to "her" without specifying who, knowing his grandfather understood who he meant.

"You let her in?" Callix knew exactly who Easton meant. Hearing that Amelia was here to see him, his expression darkened immediately. "How could you leave Lily alone in the living room? You really are careless."

As Mr. Linton spoke, he was already getting up and heading to the door.
