Ranaway From Wedding, Fell into Tycoon's Love Trap-Chapter 984: He Actually Came Too
The scale of the return visit was much grander than Easton Holmes imagined. Not only did Christopher Turner phone Alexander Shaw and Isla Lane to invite them, but he also called over his brother and sister’s families.
He initially planned to eat at a restaurant outside, but considering Lily Turner’s celebrity status, he dismissed the idea of eating out.
However, to properly entertain the visiting son-in-law, Christopher Turner spent a considerable sum to bring a chef from a hotel to his home, having the chef prepare a sumptuous feast.
Lily Turner did not expect Christopher Turner to make it so grand. Before coming, she thought it would be a small family gathering, but upon arrival, the situation was entirely beyond her expectations.
She actually didn’t like it being arranged this way. But what could she do, even if she didn’t like it? Her dad had already arranged it this way, so she silently accepted it.
Just before dinner, Benjamin Shaw suddenly appeared at the door. Seeing his unexpected arrival, Alexander Shaw and Isla Lane’s faces revealed an indistinct smile.
Alice Turner reacted completely differently from the two of them. Just moments ago, she was all smiles, but the moment she saw Benjamin Shaw, her smile disappeared without a trace, replaced by indifference.
"Benjamin is here, please sit down."
Christopher Turner didn’t hold Benjamin Shaw’s tardiness against him and warmly invited him in to sit.
Sophia Wood instinctively glanced at Alice Turner, sitting next to her. Seeing Alice Turner’s face turn somewhat unpleasant, she quietly reached out to hold Alice’s hand resting on her leg, silently offering comfort.
When Alice Turner first arrived home, Sophia Wood immediately noticed her left hand was wrapped in gauze. Sophia promptly pulled her aside to ask about it and learned her hand was cut by a glass, which led to Sophia’s mind racing. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Sophia suspected Alice Turner’s injured hand had a direct connection to Benjamin Shaw, but she didn’t ask Alice directly about it, knowing Alice well enough to understand that if Alice didn’t want to talk, asking would be pointless.
Benjamin Shaw glanced at Alice Turner and went over to sit beside Easton Holmes, nodding slightly to Christopher Turner without saying anything, even skipping a greeting.
Seeing her son act this way, Isla Lane felt anger rising, but with so many people present and being far away, she could only pretend not to notice.
Alexander Shaw’s feelings weren’t as pleasant either, but unlike Isla Lane, he wasn’t as willing to swallow his anger. He turned his head to look at Benjamin Shaw, who had just sat down, and asked, "Why did you arrive so late? Didn’t I ask you to come earlier after finishing your work?"
On the surface, it seemed he was reproaching his son, but he was actually explaining the reason for his son’s late arrival, also conveying some messages to him.
He did this only to prevent his son from speaking indiscreetly and to ensure the in-laws wouldn’t blame his son.
Sitting nearby, Isla Lane didn’t understand his true intentions. Seeing him reprimanding Benjamin Shaw made her somewhat unhappy. Although she had grievances against her son, her son was still her son after all.
She strongly disapproved of him openly reprimanding their son in front of so many people. How could her son maintain his dignity, and their own faces wouldn’t be spared either.
Worried that Alexander Shaw might continue to reprimand Benjamin Shaw, Isla Lane secretly poked him with her hand, silently reminding him not to criticize their son in front of others.
