Callix Linton received the news from Lily Turner that Easton Holmes went to the Military Department to handle some affairs. He didn't doubt this at all because he believed Lily wouldn't lie to him, and he also trusted that Easton wouldn't deceive Lily.
Because of this, Callix thought that Easton was at the Military Department since he hadn't returned so late. Thinking about his grandson still handling military matters during his marriage leave made him feel both heartache and pride.
"Handling some urgent matters, will be done soon, and after that, I'll go home." From the start, Easton planned to keep this from Callix, and now that he knew Theodore orchestrated this, he was even more determined to hide it completely from Callix and Lily.
"Rest assured and sleep, don't worry about me."
Before Callix could respond, Easton added, indicating clearly that he intended to end the call.
