Alice Turner didn’t understand the specifics of the situation, but she could tell that Christopher Turner was trying to get her to talk, and she had to gather her wits to respond carefully.
"I’ve seen those online gossip posts too, and at the ti, I also thought they were true. I imdiately called Lily and she’s doing well at ho, there’s no talk of her being in the hospital." She said a lot in one breath, afraid that any pause might reveal sothing.
"Lily’s at ho? Which ho? Don’t tell she’s staying in her private apartnt." Christopher wasn’t in the mood to care whether this was true or not; what he really wanted to know was with whom Lily Turner had registered for marriage.
She thought whoever it was must be soone decent. After all, she’s a top-tier celebrity, and the people she mingles with are either rich or noble. She wouldn’t just choose anyone.
As expected, her dad’s main concern wasn’t Lily being hospitalized.
Alice knowingly raised her beautiful eyebrows; she wasn’t surprised or flustered since she had anticipated it.
"She’s staying at her husband’s ho now."
Since he asked like that, he must have known about her sister’s marriage registration, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
"Her husband’s ho? Who is her husband?"
Alice’s response was vague, and Christopher was confused. He specifically pointed out what he wanted to know the most, without any subtleness.
That’s her dad for you!
After hearing Christopher’s straightforward question, Alice sighed softly, "Her husband is Easton Hols."
The na Easton Hols was well-known in Fla City. Although Easton was very low-key and had never been seen in public, his na was famous.
For soone like her dad, who pays such close attention to these matters, the na Easton Hols wouldn’t be unfamiliar.
"Who did you say?"
Christopher heard very clearly, but he couldn’t believe his ears for a mont. He had to make sure that his ears weren’t playing tricks on him.
Although Christopher was trying his best to control his excitent, Alice still sensed it. She pouted in dissatisfaction, "You didn’t hear wrong. The man who married Lily is Easton Hols."
Is it really good to put so much emphasis on the other person’s family background? Is that what is called a good marriage?
She simply couldn’t accept that kind of perspective. No matter how good the material conditions are, if the person doesn’t love you, it would never be truly happy.
"Really is..."
"Really is that Easton Hols!"
As soon as Christopher spoke, Alice knew what he wanted to say, and she took over his words directly and very affirmatively.
Just after she finished speaking, she heard her dad’s excited exclamation on the other end of the phone: "That’s wonderful!"
"Well, I won’t disturb you at work any longer, I’ll hang up now." Christopher spoke incredibly fast, and the speed at which he hung up the phone was even faster. Before he finished his sentence, he had already ended the call.
Beep!
Hearing a beep in her ear, Alice realized her dad had hung up, shaking her head in incomprehension, she took the phone away from her ear.
How could he be like this? Only caring about the other person’s material conditions, without asking about the person’s character.
Sigh!
Alice sighed, put the phone in her pocket, and was about to turn back to the ward when she suddenly saw Easton Hols coming from the other end of the hallway.
She stopped instinctively, waiting for him as he walked towards the ward.
