Lily Turner really wanted to stand up, but without shoes on her feet, she could only tilt her neck back and look up at her older sisters who were looking down at her.
Her neck was sore from craning, but her sisters still didn't say a word; they just watched her in silent endurance.
Easton Holmes, holding a shoe in one hand, parted the women surrounding Lily with the other, finally seeing the wife he hadn't seen all night, and blurted out, "Honey!"
As he called out 'Honey,' he bent down to squat in front of her.
"Hubby…"
Lily seemed to have been wronged somehow, and she suddenly hugged Easton tightly, both arms locked around his neck as if he'd disappear the moment she let go.
Seeing this, Charlotte Shaw shook her head and remarked, "Girls really grow up and leave the nest!"
After sighing, she turned her gaze to the other sisters, "Ladies! What are you all standing around here for? Playing third wheel?"
