Ranaway From Wedding, Fell into Tycoon's Love Trap

Chapter 1221: Don’t Fool Around

Athena Linton’s reaction was so big that Serena Zimmerman felt nothing but deep concern besides surprise. At this moment, she really wanted to assertively say: You can’t like that celebrity with the last name He.

But she couldn’t do that, as such actions would only make her daughter like that celebrity even more. Her daughter was in a rebellious stage of adolescence, and she couldn’t risk agitating her daughter impatiently.

Being too hasty would not only fail to achieve the desired result but could also make things worse. Her daughter’s excitement now was the best proof.

"Athena! You really don’t want to go to Flame City with your brother and sister-in-law?" She didn’t continue talking about the celebrity but shifted the topic to something else.

"... I want to go, but..."

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, there was a sudden knocking on the door from outside.

No matter who was knocking outside, Serena Zimmerman breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and called towards the door: "Come in!"

After calling, she didn’t immediately withdraw her gaze but kept staring at the doorway, waiting to see who the person outside was.

"Aunt! Athena!"

The person who pushed the door and walked in was Easton Holmes. Earlier, he had wanted to come in with Serena Zimmerman and Athena Linton, but he decided to wait a bit and see the situation before making a decision.

After waiting outside for a long time without seeing the mother and daughter come out, he figured they probably hadn’t reached an agreement. Feeling restless, he got up and left the living room to find them.

Seeing it was Easton Holmes, Serena Zimmerman and Athena Linton both guessed why he was there, but their reactions were different.

Serena Zimmerman felt as if she saw a savior and stood up to invite Easton Holmes to sit down, "Easton! Come over and sit."

She pointed to the large bed, indicating the newly arrived person to sit.

"Brother! Why aren’t you outside with your goddess sister, what are you doing here?" Athena Linton remained seated and unmoved, looking displeased at Easton Holmes as he walked over.

Seeing the situation, Easton Holmes immediately realized that the mother and daughter weren’t having a smooth conversation; it seemed not very pleasant, "I came to talk to you."

He didn’t beat around the bush, directly saying he wanted to talk.

"What is there to talk about between us? I’m not talking to you." Athena Linton also understood what Easton Holmes wanted to talk about and didn’t beat around the bush, directly refusing to talk to him.

Easton Holmes didn’t respond verbally but walked over and sat down beside Athena Linton. As he sat, he discreetly gave Serena Zimmerman a look, signaling her to leave so he could talk to Athena Linton.

It wasn’t that he found Aunt being a hindrance, but some words were difficult to say with her around.

Serena Zimmerman understood, glanced at Easton Holmes, and then looked at Athena Linton sitting next to him, "Athena! Stay here with your brother for a bit, I’ll go check on your grandfather and the others."

With that, she didn’t wait for a response and stepped towards the doorway.

"I want to go too."

Athena Linton stood up to follow Serena Zimmerman out, but as soon as she stood, Easton Holmes pulled her back, "You’re just a kid, what are you rushing out to join the adults for?"

To prevent her from standing up again, he held onto her wrist, not letting go.

"Athena! Talk nicely with your brother, don’t be silly," Serena Zimmerman advised Athena Linton again before finally leaving, after which she felt assured enough to open the door and leave.
