Benjamin and Ryan were standing by Benjamin’s car, chatting about sothing when they suddenly saw Isla Lane pulling Thomas Fisher towards them. Not knowing what was going on, Benjamin frowned.
Ryan noticed Benjamin’s unusual reaction and turned to look in the sa direction. He, too, saw the two people walking toward them.
"What trouble has that brat gotten into now?"
Seeing the two approaching, Ryan’s first thought was that Thomas had just caused so trouble.
Benjamin replied with a frown, "Who knows?"
Under the puzzled gazes of the two n, Isla Lane pulled Thomas over. Once they got closer, she let go of his sleeve, having found her son and finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thomas! What did you do now that made Auntie drag you here?" Ryan was the first to speak, voicing his confusion.
Thomas’s heart skipped a beat. He instinctively glanced at Isla Lane, and seeing that she wasn’t eager to say anything, he felt slightly relieved.
"Auntie Isla couldn’t find my third brother, so I brought her here to look for him." His second brother really had sharp eyes; he’d better steer clear of him in the future.
Isla Lane very much wanted to directly tell Benjamin, "Your wife is being pestered by your buddy."
But she couldn’t say that here; there were too many people around and the timing wasn’t right. She decided to hold back her words and plan after the wedding was over and they returned ho.
"What are you looking for for? I won’t go missing."
Since she hadn’t seen Benjamin at the Turner Family’s house yesterday, Isla Lane started tracking him by phone, especially after seeing Thomas and Alice Turner together in the restaurant last night, which prompted a flurry of calls.
On her way back after leaving the restaurant last night, she called him repeatedly, and he kept declining her calls.
She made a dozen phone calls, none of which he answered, infuriating her to the point of cursing at the phone.
Hearing Isla Lane curse, Alexander Shaw, sitting next to her with his eyes closed, frowned. He opened his eyes to look at her but said nothing. Instead, he gestured silently toward the driver in front, reminding her to watch her image as there were others present in the car.
Alexander’s silent reminder was imdiately understood by Isla Lane. Although she was very angry, she didn’t act out further.
She stopped cursing at the phone and ceased making calls. Instead, she started to type a ssage, expressing her anger over text to her son.
After receiving the ssage from Isla Lane last night, Benjamin realized how furious his mother was about him not attending the Turner Family’s celebration. Her anger was exactly the result he wanted to see.
He didn’t reply to any of the ssages. Though he considered turning off his phone, he worried others might need to reach him, so he set his ssage alert to silent.
Putting the phone aside, he lay on the sofa and started thinking about his own issues.
Isla Lane hadn’t expected her son to behave like this. Ever since her husband called him ho last night, he had maintained this deanor, with no change now.
Reflecting on Benjamin’s behavior since arriving at the Turner Family’s house, Isla Lane was both angry and anxious. Unconcerned about who else might be around, she angrily pointed at him, "Keep it up, and you’ll drive your wife away sooner or later."
