Easton Holmes's exclamation took Callix Linton and Michael Linton by surprise. In their eyes, Easton Holmes was always calm and collected, able to handle any situation with poise.
But the situation they witnessed at this moment, they had never seen before. This side of Easton Holmes was a first for both of them.
"Why are you so agitated?"
Callix Linton stared unblinkingly at Easton Holmes, trying to discern something from his face, but he couldn't figure anything out even after a long look.
Easton Holmes realized his own sudden excitement and quickly reined in the inappropriate expression, restoring himself to his usual calm state, "I'm not agitated about anything, I'm just not ready yet."
By 'not ready,' he wasn't talking about meeting her parents; rather, he hadn't yet appeased her mother.
Bringing his uncle to visit so abruptly seemed so hasty, and the situation was unlikely to be pleasant.
