Chapter 1684: Just Live Your Own Life

“Sis! What did Benjamin’s mom call you about just now? Is she still not giving up?” Lily Turner asked her sister as soon as she stepped into Alice Turner’s room.

Upon hearing this, Alice knew that her sister had seen her answering the phone earlier. Since Lily had seen it, hiding it from her would make her feel like an outsider.

“His mother indeed hasn’t given up, but he himself has decided to withdraw.” Alice candidly shared about meeting Benjamin at noon.

Benjamin proactively withdrawing truly surprised Lily, “He actually withdrew voluntarily; that’s really something to be happy about.”

Five years ago, Benjamin normally dismissed everyone in the Turner Family; within half a year of marriage, the times he’d visited the Turner home could be counted on one hand.

Christopher Turner and Sophia Wood felt quite aggrieved about this, but since they were the ones who chose this son-in-law, they couldn’t say much.

However, things were different with Lily. Knowing that Benjamin was not good to Alice, Lily had a belly full of opinions about this brother-in-law, and whenever she met him, she would always throw a couple of sarcastic remarks at him.

“Exactly.”

Alice wasn’t just brushing Lily off now. She felt a lot more relieved; she no longer had to worry every day about Thomas Fisher being caught between her and Benjamin.

Lily hugged her sister’s arm and leaned her head on her sister’s shoulder, “Sis! I’m truly happy you can find your own happiness. I wish you and your brother-in-law eternal happiness.”

“Thank you for your wishes.”

Alice turned her head and looked at her sister leaning against her shoulder, her face adorned with a joyful and happy smile.

Thinking about Isla Lane who hadn’t given up, Lily suddenly lifted her head, “But what about his mom? What if she keeps bothering you?”

If that old woman really dared to do that, Lily worried that she’d use the incident of him saving her sister as leverage.

“I’ve already registered and married Thomas, so even if she bothers me, what can she do? Moreover, he’s already withdrawn.” Alice felt annoyed if Isla Lane kept pestering her, but she wouldn’t change her decision just because her ex-mother-in-law was troublesome.

Lily found her sister’s words very reasonable, nodding frequently to show agreement, “Yes! Sis! You’re absolutely right.”

“Alright, don’t worry about my things. I’ll handle my own affairs. You focus on living well.”

Alice knew Lily was living very happily now. Precisely because of this, she didn’t want her sister to worry about her problems; she didn’t want to add any troubles for Lily.

Lily shook her head, “No way, Sis! If there’s anything you need Easton and me to help with, you must let us know. We’ll do our best to support you and your brother-in-law.”

“If needed, I’ll definitely tell you, but for now, I don’t need any help from you yet.” Alice thought about avoiding bothering her sister and brother-in-law, preferring to solve her troubles by herself.

This didn’t mean she didn’t consider her sister and brother-in-law as family. She’d just become used to it, used to handling all sorts of issues on her own over the years.

Seeing her sister agree, Lily’s lips curved into a pleased smile, “Yes! You must let us know.”

Instead of speaking, Alice just smiled. Seeing her smile, Lily’s lips arched even more.

At this moment, the phone in Lily’s pocket suddenly rang, causing her to furrow her brow instantly upon hearing it.

She thought it was Easton calling, but after taking out the phone, she saw it wasn’t; it was her sister-in-law Athena Linton calling.
