Ranaway From Wedding, Fell into Tycoon's Love Trap

Chapter 288: I Just Wanted to Let You Eat in Peace

Easton Holmes was just about to do something mischievous to Lily Turner when the waiter came in with a water pot.

Lily Turner and the waiter both looked slightly awkward, but Easton Holmes seemed unfazed. He calmly let go of Lily Turner’s hand and took the water pot from the waiter’s hand, "We’ll pour ourselves."

The implied message was that the waiter could leave, and they could serve themselves.

The waiter was momentarily stunned but seemed to understand the meaning in Easton Holmes’ words and turned to leave the private room.

Worried about a repeat of what just happened, the moment the waiter turned to leave, Lily Turner got up and moved to the seat next to her, putting what she considered a safe distance between herself and Easton Holmes.

"Why are you sitting so far away from me? I’m not going to eat you right now." Easton Holmes did not get up to sit closer; he just turned his head to look at Lily Turner, who was sitting a bit far from him, then poured a glass of water and placed it on the small rotating tray to pass it to her.

Lily Turner blushed and gave Easton Holmes a sideways glance, then picked up the glass and drank on her own.

Upon seeing her like this, a barely noticeable smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

During the meal, the two of them maintained this distance, and this state persisted until they had finished eating and left.

"Why were you sitting so far away from me while we were eating? Hmm?" As soon as they got into the car, Easton Holmes leaned towards Lily Turner. At this moment, his stern face showed no emotion, and she could not discern whether he was pleased or annoyed.

Regardless of whether the man leaning towards her was pleased or annoyed, Lily Turner extended her hand to hold against the man’s chest, preventing him from getting closer, "I just wanted you to eat peacefully."

She foolishly smiled at the man, hoping that he wouldn’t dwell on what had just happened.

She just wanted him to eat peacefully!

This girl could come up with anything, and in such a short time too.

Her ability to tell lies was getting stronger and stronger, and he was starting to be a bit impressed.

Easton Holmes looked down at the two hands against his chest, his eyes full of disdain, "You sat far away just now to let me eat peacefully, so what do you want by pushing me away now?"

He wasn’t underestimating her, but with her soft, boneless hands, could she really hold back his robust body?

"I just want you to hurry up and drive back. If you keep wasting time, someone’s going to call you."

When they went out to eat, it was already late, and now it’s been a long while since they finished eating.

Lily Turner thought they must have delayed Easton Holmes from going to the Military Department; it wasn’t unheard of for him to be called away by a phone call.

Upon hearing this, Easton Holmes frowned slightly but then relaxed, "Rest assured, no one will call me today."

He had finished today’s tasks ahead of schedule, and unless there was some kind of emergency military affair, things shouldn’t be that coincidental, right?

"You..."

Lily Turner was just about to say something when Easton Holmes suddenly grabbed her hands and simultaneously moved them away from his chest. He leaned close so swiftly that she didn’t have time to react.

Buzz Buzz Buzz!

At this moment, the phone in Easton Holmes’ pocket suddenly buzzed.

"Someone’s calling you!"

Seeing Easton Holmes not taking action for a while, Lily Turner shouted to remind him.
