Chapter 1266: Chapter 1265: Open Your Mouth
Perhaps due to their blood relation, little An An felt no sense of unfamiliarity with Fabian Holmes. Right from their first meeting, he had an innate sense of closeness with Fabian Holmes.
Fabian Holmes needed no excuse; he was utterly fond of the little grandson he’d never met before, holding him in his arms, unwilling to let go.
Seeing the intimate moments between grandfather and grandson, Callix Linton felt a touch of solace, musing in his heart: Little An An is indeed charming, bringing out this warm side in such a stone-hearted fellow.
Easton Holmes glanced expressionlessly at Fabian holding little An An, then carried the insulated container over to Lily Turner on the bed. As he stood beside her, his face softened into a gentle smile, "Hungry?"
He placed the insulated container on the cabinet next to the bed and bent over to sit beside her.
"A little bit." Lily Turner nodded, reaching out to grab Easton Holmes’s extended hand. Before she could exert any force, he pulled her up from the bed.
Easton Holmes didn’t say much, guiding Lily Turner to sit properly before immediately fetching the insulated container from the cabinet, dishing out a small bowl of rice. Instead of handing it to her, he held it himself.
"I’ll eat by myself." Over the past few days after the childbirth, Easton Holmes had personally fed Lily Turner, whether food or water. With so many people around today, she felt too shy to have him feed her.
Easton Holmes did not mind at all. Holding the bowl in one hand and a small spoon in the other, he began to feed Lily Turner, "Open your mouth!"
He acted as if no one else was present, scooping a spoonful of rice to her mouth, even ordering her to open her mouth without bothering to lower his voice.
The affectionate interaction between the couple was no surprise to Callix Linton, Amelia Linton, and Sophia Wood, but it was the first time for Fabian Holmes and Theodore Holmes, who both showed shocked expressions.
In Fabian Holmes’s impression and knowledge, Easton Holmes always maintained a cold demeanor towards people, such warmth was utterly out of character for him.
Seeing his son in this manner today truly surprised Fabian Holmes, so much so that he barely recognized him.
Theodore Holmes had always known that Easton Holmes doted on his wife, otherwise he wouldn’t be here today nor have any plans involving Lily Turner.
His shock stemmed from realizing that his brother cherished his wife far more than he had imagined, clearly seeing that their emotions were so strong that it drove him nearly insane.
Why is heaven so unfair to him?
His mother was a mistress, and he was merely a illegitimate child who couldn’t find a place.
While the man sitting by the bed had all the advantages: a good family background, a successful career, and so much love. What was more infuriating was that this man had married the girl he loved.
Lily Turner glared discontentedly at the man who disregarded others. Though she didn’t dare to look casually, she could feel the surrounding gazes making her somewhat uneasy. Still, she obediently opened her mouth.
She knew her husband well enough; if she refused to eat, he would certainly resort to forceful methods to feed her, regardless of who else might be around.
With so many people present, it was best not to make a fuss. Her husband was like a docile donkey—she had to go along with him, otherwise, he’d surely punish her.
