At this mont, Easton Hols was in the study on the second floor, while Lily Turner was in the room watching a popular TV series. He felt this was the perfect ti, claiming he had sothing to do, he hid in the study to make the call to Benjamin Shaw.
After finishing the call with Benjamin Shaw, Easton Hols did not leave the study right away. He glanced at the door to make sure it was still properly closed, and then dialed the number Benjamin Shaw had just sent over.
"Hello! Who is this?"
After a few rings, the person on the other end answered the phone.
This was the first ti Easton Hols heard Christopher Turner’s voice. Even though he had seen many big occasions, he still felt inexplicably nervous. He paused for a mont before responding, "Hello! I’m Easton Hols!"
He didn’t bother with roundabout questions, but directly introduced himself.
"Easton Hols?!"
When Christopher Turner received the call from Easton Hols, he was just on his way ho after a social event. Upon hearing the na Easton Hols, he imdiately jumped up from his seat.
The sudden exclamation and movent startled the driver in front, but fortunately, the driver had both hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, otherwise they might have swerved into the opposite lane by now.
Christopher Turner’s cry not only startled the driver but also Easton Hols on the other end of the line, though he wasn’t as startled as the driver.
"Yes! I’m Lily’s husband, Easton Hols."
He introduced himself once again to the person on the other end, this ti adding the words Lily’s husband.
When Christopher Turner first heard the na Easton Hols on the phone, he thought he had misheard, or soone was playing a prank on him.
After hearing Easton Hols introduce himself again, and hearing Lily’s na, this ti he didn’t want to doubt anything. He believed the person calling him was indeed Easton Hols.
"Hello! May I ask what’s the matter?"
Upon realizing the person on the other end was indeed Easton Hols, Christopher Turner sobered up instantly, but he still couldn’t calm his excitent imdiately. His voice carried an undeniable tremor.
From across the phone, Easton Hols sensed Christopher Turner’s excitent, but he didn’t focus too much on this, as he knew what he needed to focus on now.
"Are you free tomorrow evening? I’d like to visit your ho." He didn’t use an assertive tone but rather a questioning one to seek the other’s opinion.
eting Easton Hols was exactly what Christopher Turner had been anticipating, and he blurted out, "Of course I’m free, whenever you co over, I’ll be free."
His words were filled with excitent and joy, and his tone carried an undisguisable delight.
"Then it’s settled, I’ll co over tomorrow evening. But I have to ask you for one thing: please don’t tell my mother-in-law about my visit." Easton Hols seriously reminded Christopher Turner, as he had just interacted with Sophia Wood the day before and knew she was still angry about his parents’ visit. He didn’t want her to find out in advance.
If she found out beforehand, not only would his visit with his uncle be affected, but it might also cause trouble for his wife, a foolish thing he could not do.
Fortunately, his father-in-law was quite reasonable, not only did he not bla or scold him, but he also warmly welcod him to visit.
He was well aware there were other factors involved, but he didn’t mind at all.
