Ranaway From Wedding, Fell into Tycoon's Love Trap-Chapter 446 Today There Are Quite a Few Phone Calls 1

When the two people were passionately kissing in the hospital room, Alice Turner was already carrying the thermal container to her car. Just as she was about to start the car and leave, her phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

She stopped her action of starting the car, took the continuously ringing phone out of her pocket, and raised it to her eyes to take a look. When she saw the name Benjamin Shaw displayed on the phone, she was stunned.

Although Alice Turner and Benjamin Shaw had been married for some time, they had only called each other twice. The first was when Lily Turner went to their apartment for dinner, and the second was during a bar gathering.

Both times were related to her sister, Lily Turner. She wondered if this time his call was related to her sister as well?

"Hello!"

Just as the call was about to automatically disconnect, she picked up the phone.

"My mom wants us to come home around noon."

Benjamin Shaw got straight to the point, without any unnecessary chatter.

Alice Turner didn’t have much to say to the person on the other end either, and her response was equally direct: "I’m busy at noon and can’t leave."

After saying that, she felt that it wasn’t quite appropriate, so she quickly added: "Is there something Mom needs us for? Can we go in the evening? I really can’t leave at noon."

She still had to cook at noon, and after cooking, she needed to deliver the meal. She simply didn’t have the time.

But she also couldn’t neglect her mother-in-law. Although their relationship as a couple wasn’t great, she was, after all, the legitimately married daughter-in-law of the Shaw Family, and his mother was quite kind to her.

"Then I’ll call my mom in a while and tell her we won’t be going." Benjamin Shaw wasn’t keen on going back anyway, so Alice’s lack of time was a convenient excuse for him, and he was quite grateful to her for it.

He seemed to be in a hurry and hung up quickly after speaking, without caring about what she might think.

Alice Turner was taken aback for a moment, moved the phone away from her ear, placed it back in her pocket, started the engine, and drove out of the hospital.

Not long after leaving the hospital, her phone rang again in her pocket. She slowed the car down to a very low speed, and once she was sure she could ensure her safety, she took the phone out of her pocket.

She glanced at it hurriedly; it was her mother-in-law calling. Her brow furrowed sharply.

She slowly pulled over to the side of the road, and once the car was parked, she safely answered the phone.

"Mom!"

As soon as the call was connected, Alice Turner politely greeted the person on the other end as Mom.

After Benjamin Shaw finished the call with Alice Turner, he immediately called his mom, Emily Snow, using Alice’s inability to leave as an excuse to refuse his mother’s request.

Emily Snow actually didn’t have anything particular in mind; she just wanted to see her son and daughter-in-law. However, her simple request was declined.

After hanging up the call with her son Benjamin, she immediately called Alice Turner.

"Alice! Are you very busy today?"

Her son had said so, but she wasn’t clear on how busy exactly. She didn’t believe they couldn’t spare time even to visit home.

When Alice Turner saw that the call was from Emily Snow, she guessed that Benjamin had already spoken to his mother. She wasn’t surprised or confused when her mother-in-law asked like that.

"I have something to handle."

She wasn’t sure what he had told his mother, so her reply was somewhat vague.

"Is it urgent? If you’re pressed for time at noon, you can come in the evening too."

Alice Turner was usually very busy, and Emily Snow was aware of that. When they got married, she had advised Alice to quit her job, but Alice didn’t agree.

As a newly appointed mother-in-law, it wasn’t her place to say more.
