Chapter 1683: We Definitely Won’t Let You Down

Lily Turner was about to retort when she suddenly saw Alice Turner walking in from outside. She immediately stopped arguing with Easton Holmes and slightly turned to look at her approaching big sister.

In front of everyone, she couldn’t directly ask her sister what Isla Lane’s call was about.

Lily Turner discreetly observed Alice Turner’s expression and saw that her sister’s face showed no change. Still, she couldn’t quite relax.

Her sister always disliked sharing her matters with the family, especially the troubling ones. Her sister preferred to bear them herself and solve them on her own.

“Alice! Are you staying over tonight?”

Alice Turner, holding her phone, returned, and Sophia Wood asked her.

“Yes.”

Alice nodded and sat down in her seat.

Upon hearing that her sister would stay over, Lily Turner quickly said, “I’m staying over tonight too.”

Since the day her sister returned and they chatted, she hadn’t had a good talk with her sister again. Tonight, she wanted to have a heart-to-heart with her.

“Honey! Later you…”

“Later I’ll call Mom and tell her we’re not going back tonight, and to look after Rosie and Evie.”

Easton Holmes didn’t let Lily say what she’d been about to, because he knew she wanted him to go back alone. But he didn’t want to return home; without her, he’d be bored to death.

Indeed, Lily had been thinking of asking Easton to head home by himself, but without her saying a word, he naturally took over her sentence.

Since he’d already spoken, how could she say he couldn’t stay?

Christopher Turner perked up upon hearing that Easton was staying, “Easton! How about I pour a couple of drinks?”

Earlier, he held back from drinking because they were driving back, but now he didn’t have to worry about it.

“Dad! Easton has to be at the military compound early tomorrow morning; it’s not good to go smelling of alcohol.”

Before Easton could open his mouth, Lily Turner had already spoken for him, refusing Christopher.

Christopher’s face immediately showed disappointment. Seeing this, Easton quickly spoke up, “Dad! We’ll enjoy a drink with you on the weekend with Thomas.”

“Sounds great! You and Thomas must surely come and have drinks with me; we’ll party until we’re drunk.” Thinking of his two sons-in-law drinking with him, Christopher’s disappointed expression vanished, replaced by joy.

Upon hearing this, Lily Turner promptly looked at Sophia Wood, pleading, “Mom! You should control Dad; he’s turning your two sons-in-law into alcoholics.”

“They have such a talent for drinking, of course I’m going to cultivate it. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be a waste of talent?” Christopher Turner knew Lily Turner was joking. His life was going so well that he was in such good spirits, joking around with Lily Turner.

Lily Turner laughed and tapped her husband’s arm lightly, “Honey! You heard it, you and my brother-in-law have great talent. You two must not let Dad’s hopes down.”

“We certainly won’t let him down,” Easton Holmes replied with a smile.

Alice Turner had matters on her mind, so she just quietly watched everyone joke around without joining in.

Her unusual demeanor was noticed by both Sophia Wood and Lily Turner, especially Lily, who was sitting next to her and felt it most keenly.

Lily Turner understood very well that her sister’s behavior must be related to the phone call just now. As soon as dinner was over, she pulled her sister upstairs.
