Chapter 1685: I Miss You

“Sis! Athena’s on the phone.”

Lily Turner didn’t plan to hide it from Alice Turner, and held her phone up in front of her sister, letting her take a look.

Alice knew what her sister intended, but she still asked, “Do I need to step out?”

“It’s not my husband calling, no need.” Lily blurted this out without a moment’s thought.

Alice chuckled, “Got it, if it’s your husband calling, I’ll definitely leave right away.”

“Ah! I didn’t mean that.”

Hearing her sister tease her, Lily realized what she had said just moments ago, and couldn’t help but blush.

“You should pick it up before she gets worried.”

Alice gestured toward the phone in Lily’s hand, reminding her to answer it quickly.

“Oh.”

Lily regained her composure, swiped the phone screen with her finger, and answered the call, “Athena! How did you…”

“Hey goddess sis! When are you coming back from your parents’ place?” Athena Linton interrupted before Lily could finish her sentence.

At this, Lily showed a surprised expression, “How did you know I went back to my parent’s place? Did you call home?”

“Take a guess!”

Athena didn’t directly answer Lily’s question, instead playfully urged her to guess.

“Then you must have called home.”

Lily confidently thought she was right, believing Athena had called home, without considering other possibilities.

But Athena’s next answer made her lose confidence instantly, “Wrong!”

“No way, you can’t possibly be in Flame City, can you?” As soon as Lily asked, she realized Athena might really be in Flame City, “Athena! You didn’t actually come, did you?”

After asking, she quietly waited for the person on the other end to reveal the answer.

“Why couldn’t I have really come? From your tone, you don’t seem too happy about me coming to Flame City?” Athena didn’t directly answer Lily’s question but responded with a question.

Hearing this, Lily knew Athena must have really come to Flame City, instinctively glanced at Alice, and seeing no unusual expression on Alice’s face, she relaxed a bit.

“I’m not unhappy about you coming here! You cheeky girl, haven’t seen you for months and you’re already teasing me, I might tell your brother to come and set you straight.” Lily thought Athena coming now must be because she heard the news of her sister returning.

Do your aunt and uncle know you came to Flame City?

Athena snorted on the other end, “Hmph! You only use your husband to scare me.”

“I’m not just using my husband to scare you, I really will ask him to set you straight.”

Lily wasn’t entirely joking; there was some genuine emotion in what she said.

She still didn’t know why Athena came, but if she found out the girl was up to something, she would definitely ask her husband to properly deal with her.

Athena didn’t know Lily’s true thoughts, she couldn’t see the person on this side of the phone, only thinking her sister-in-law was joking with her.

“Got it, sister-in-law, you’re mighty, I’m scared.”

Athena jokingly raised a white flag, and after the joke, she returned to the original topic, “Goddess sis! When are you coming back? Haven’t seen you for months, I miss you.”
