Because he was dissatisfied with the arranged marriage by his family, Benjamin Shaw didn’t invite his good friends to the wedding on the day he got married, and he himself attended with an indifferent attitude.
Easton Hols and his group were aware of this situation, but they still sent their congratulations, though they did not personally attend to offer their blessings.
"Easton Hols! You go chat with my brother-in-law outside, my sister and I are going to eat now." Lily Turner withdrew her arm from Alice Turner’s and walked over, directly pushing Easton Hols towards the restaurant door. To her surprise, he cooperated quite willingly.
Without much effort, she managed to push him to the restaurant entrance.
Seeing this situation, Alice Turner did not step in to stop them, because she understood her sister well. Her sister wouldn’t act without reason; she thought Lily must have sothing she wanted to say to her.
"Brother! Let’s go chat outside and give these two sisters so space to eat." Seeing Benjamin Shaw standing still without any intention of going out, Easton Hols reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
After glancing at Alice Turner and then at Lily Turner, Benjamin Shaw and Easton Hols walked out of the restaurant together.
As soon as the two left, Lily Turner closed the door from the inside, and only after seeing them walk far away did she turn and go back in.
"Sister! Tell the truth, is my brother-in-law still lukewarm to you like before?" Walking over, Lily Turner pulled Alice Turner and asked.
The things between Benjamin Shaw and Alice Turner, Lily Turner learned so from Alice Turner herself, so from others, and so she observed with her own eyes.
She just saw that her brother-in-law didn’t even glance at her sister with open eyes.
Afraid that Lily Turner might worry about her, Alice Turner shook her head firmly to deny it, "Your brother-in-law is much better to now than before."
As she spoke, she pulled her sister down to sit with her.
"Really?"
Lily Turner was quite skeptical; she had just observed very clearly that the man didn’t have the slightest smile on his face.
Alice Turner nodded: "It’s true, do I need to lie to you?"
"Hurry up and eat, the food’s getting cold."
Worried that Lily Turner might notice sothing, Alice Turner picked up the chopsticks on the table, pointing at the dishes in the plates, signaling Lily Turner to start eating.
Lily Turner was already very hungry, and seeing that Alice Turner was unwilling to say more, she did not continue to press, picking up her chopsticks and began to eat with her head down.
Seeing this, Alice Turner quietly let out a sigh of relief, but she still hadn’t completely relaxed.
Outside, there were still two big n sitting, and it seed like they wouldn’t be leaving anyti soon.
How should she continue with this act? She’s not as good as those professional actors, and she’s really worried she’ll ss it up.
"Sister! Why aren’t you eating?"
Noticing that Alice Turner still hadn’t moved to pick up her chopsticks after a while, Lily Turner couldn’t help but ask, tilting her head.
"I’m eating now."
Hearing Lily Turner’s voice, Alice Turner hurriedly put away her worried thoughts and began to appear focused on eating.
Lily Turner felt sothing was off with Alice Turner, but she didn’t speak up to ask anything or say anything further.
She ate silently, but her peripheral vision never left her sister sitting beside her.
Although Alice Turner kept her head down, she could sense that Lily Turner was quietly observing her. She quickly set aside all her thoughts, swallowed the food in her mouth, and turned her head to look at Lily Turner.
"Lily! When do you plan to tell mom and dad about your marriage? It’s important, and I’m really worried about it."
