Chapter 268: Chapter 268: He Can No Longer Distinguish Right from Wrong
If it weren’t for waiting for Easton Holmes to return from his walk, Evelyn Taylor would have already bid farewell and left. She didn’t want to waste time chatting with Callix Linton here, and today’s chat had made her very angry.
However, Callix Linton wasn’t angry at all. He continued talking with a calm expression, "Your brother Easton is very particular about such things. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until now to get married."
His implication was that Lily Turner was Easton Holmes’ carefully chosen wife, and whether on the surface or in his heart, he was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.
These words made Evelyn Taylor’s face suddenly turn a few shades darker, and the two hands placed on her legs clenched tightly together.
She really wanted to get up and leave, but when she thought about the purpose of her visit that hadn’t been achieved yet, she forcibly pressed down this impulse.
"Grandpa! Do you know Lily Turner?"
Evelyn Taylor could tell that Callix Linton was very satisfied with Lily Turner as his granddaughter-in-law. She thought to herself that he surely didn’t know much about Lily Turner, especially her rather chaotic personal life.
With a personal life like Lily Turner’s, even Amelia Linton couldn’t accept it, let alone an elderly person like Callix Linton.
People from their generation should be very traditional, almost to the point of conservatism. She just couldn’t believe he could accept someone like Lily Turner.
Callix Linton didn’t immediately answer Evelyn Taylor’s question. Instead, he stared at her for a while, and just when she thought he wouldn’t reply, he slowly and firmly spoke up, "I trust Easton’s judgment of people, and I trust his ability to discern."
Even though he had spent only a few days with that girl, he still had some understanding of her. The Lily Turner he knew was a sensible, kind, and lovely girl.
Perhaps he didn’t know everything about her, but he knew his grandson very well. He fully trusted his grandson’s choice.
"Grandpa! Brother Easton is blinded by love now. He can’t tell right from wrong anymore."
Callix Linton was so resolutely supportive of Easton Holmes and Lily Turner being together that Evelyn Taylor was beyond anxious. Over the years, she had seen clearly that Easton Holmes held great respect for Callix Linton.
If Callix Linton was steadfastly on Lily Turner’s side, her chances were getting very slim, and that wasn’t the outcome she wanted to see.
"Child! It’s not Easton who is blinded by love; it’s your heart that’s blinded by jealousy." Callix Linton unceremoniously and accurately pointed out the crux of the problem. He didn’t want Evelyn Taylor to do anything irrational.
Such actions would not only hurt others but could also hurt herself, and he believed nobody wished to see a lose-lose situation.
Evelyn Taylor didn’t agree with Callix Linton’s statement from the bottom of her heart and blurted out, "Grandpa! It’s not that I’m jealous of Lily Turner; it’s that she’s two-faced. You’re all deceived by the image she puts on."
Because her emotions were quite intense, her cheeks turned red as she spoke.
"Child! Please don’t be so agitated. Calm down and then speak, okay?" As an older person, Callix Linton was very capable of staying calm. He saw things very clearly and knew that arguing with Evelyn Taylor at this moment would only make things more rigid.
Compared to Evelyn Taylor’s agitation, Callix Linton seemed much more stable and composed, and his face even wore a kind and gentle smile, all in an effort to calm her down.
Ding-dong!
At this moment, someone rang the doorbell.
