"Just as you suspected."
As Lily Turner stood up, Easton Hols imdiately knew she had started to beco doubtful, her little suspicions were all written on her face, and he could see them clearly.
After hearing Easton Hols’s words, Lily Turner’s beautiful eyes widened, and the confusion on her face disappeared, replaced by surprise and disbelief.
She wanted to continue asking sothing, but her peripheral vision caught sight of his comrades, so she decided to hold her tongue.
"Sister-in-law! We have a rule here that we can’t drink alcohol, so today we’ll toast with soft drinks. We’ll definitely make it up to you next ti." Jaxon Dyer raised his glass and clinked it lightly against the glass in Lily Turner’s hand, "Congratulations!"
"She’s not feeling well today, so she can’t drink."
As Easton Hols spoke, he reached out to take the glass from Lily Turner’s hand and drank the beverage inside before she could react.
Seeing this, Jaxon Dyer instinctively looked at Lily Turner; she seed quite lively and didn’t appear to be unwell.
As Jaxon Dyer was murmuring doubtfully to himself, Bella Carter couldn’t hold it in and lightly slapped him, startling him so much that he almost dropped his glass.
"What’s wrong?"
Jaxon Dyer, not knowing what had happened, looked down at his wife with confusion after she suddenly tapped him.
"Stop offering Lily drinks; you guys drink by yourselves." If she guessed correctly, Lily Turner was on her period, and with this suspicion, admiration welled up in Bella Carter’s heart.
Though her husband was very good to her, he wasn’t as attentive.
She decided that when they got ho, she’d have a good talk with him so he could learn from his good brother, to learn how to care for one’s wife.
Though not understanding why Bella Carter said that, Jaxon Dyer stopped offering Lily Turner drinks and clinked glasses from a distance with his comrades, finishing the drink in his glass before sitting down.
"I declare! The gala has officially begun!"
After offering blessings, Jaxon Dyer raised his hand and announced that tonight’s gala had officially begun.
Squeak!
Just as Jaxon Dyer finished speaking, the sound of a door opening echoed from the entrance, and everyone inside instinctively turned their heads toward the door.
"Hello everyone!"
The person who walked in was a girl in civilian clothes. Even though she wore civilian clothes, Lily Turner could tell that this girl was definitely a soldier too.
The girl walked with a very straight posture, which ordinary people do not have.
While Lily Turner was puzzling over the girl who had walked in, Bella Carter’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Her na’s Evelyn Taylor, she’s the leading star of the military district’s Arts Departnt, and she’s quite important."
Bella Carter wanted to say more when she suddenly felt a nudge from Jaxon Dyer. At first, she didn’t realize what was going on.
When she turned and saw her husband’s expression, she quickly sat up straight in her seat.
Leading star of the Arts Departnt?!
The gala is quite a grand affair, inviting even the leading star of the Arts Departnt.
Listening to Bella Carter’s introduction, Lily Turner thought the girl who just walked in must be there to perform, prompting her to take another closer look.
Fair skin, beautiful face, tall and graceful, with an exceptionally refined presence.
That was Lily Turner’s first impression of Evelyn Taylor, and it was the most direct and imdiate feeling she had at that mont.
