Lily Turner turned her back and waved at Alice Turner inside the car outside the courtyard, then pulled Easton Hols toward Christopher Turner and Michael Linton.
Worried about accidentally hurting her while she was pregnant, he naturally followed her pace when she pulled him along.
Seeing them walking inside, Alice Turner finally drove away to et Benjamin Shaw.
"Uncle! Dad!"
As she approached, Lily Turner greeted the two elders politely.
"Let’s talk inside."
Today, not only did he et Easton Hols, but also Easton’s uncle. Christopher Turner was overjoyed. He could tell that the nephew and uncle duo had co tonight with great importance, bringing gifts with them.
Michael Linton nodded in response and walked ahead with Christopher Turner, leading the way into the house.
Seeing this, Lily Turner and Easton Hols didn’t linger any longer and imdiately followed.
Because Easton Hols had specifically instructed not to ntion his visit, Christopher Turner didn’t inform Sophia Wood about the guests. Unaware of the visitors, she was sulking in her room.
She had been sulking for several days, but after yesterday’s argunt with him, her sulking beca even more intense.
She hadn’t spoken to him since yesterday, and not a word was exchanged today.
Christopher Turner had initially thought only Easton Hols and Lily Turner would co, but to his surprise, Easton’s uncle also ca along, seemingly with sothing important to discuss.
He asked Aunt Hua to serve water to the guests and then instructed her to call Sophia Wood out to et the guests, saying, "Go call the madam out and tell her there are guests."
When instructing, he gave Aunt Hua a aningful glance.
"Yes!"
Aunt Hua responded promptly, nodded in understanding, and left the living room.
At this mont, in a bedroom on the first floor, Sophia Wood lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling, occasionally letting out a sigh.
Bang bang bang!
Hearing the knock, Sophia Wood withdrew her gaze from the ceiling and slowly turned towards the door, but she showed no intention of responding or getting up to open the door.
Bang bang bang!
Not hearing any movent inside for a while, Aunt Hua knocked on the door again, but this ti she not only knocked; she also said to the person inside, "Madam! We have guests, and the master wants you to co out to et them."
Afraid the person inside couldn’t hear clearly, she spoke twice as loudly as usual.
"Not eting them!"
Knowing it was Christopher Turner’s instruction to have Aunt Hua call her out, Sophia Wood refused to even ask who it was, straight away rejecting Aunt Hua outside the door.
The intentional glance Christopher Turner gave earlier was fully understood by Aunt Hua; if she didn’t call the person out, she would be compelled to co again.
"Madam! It’s the second miss and the second son-in-law..."
Before Aunt Hua could finish her sentence, Sophia Wood opened the door and ca out, grabbing Aunt Hua’s sleeve, "Who did you say ca?"
She had heard what Aunt Hua said, but she wanted further confirmation.
"... The second miss, the second son-in-law, and the second son-in-law’s uncle." Aunt Hua was startled by Sophia Wood’s sudden action, paused for a mont, then replied quickly.
Hearing that it was Lily Turner, Easton Hols, and Easton’s uncle, Sophia Wood released Aunt Hua and headed towards the living room.
Sophia Wood stord into the living room, her face showing clear anger upon knowing the visitors were Easton Hols and Lily Turner.
