Lily Turner explained it very clearly, and Alice Turner understood it well, but she didn’t know much about the past between Sophia Wood and Lily Turner.
When Sophia married Christopher Turner back then, Alice was only six or seven years old. At the time, all she knew was that she had a new mom and a little sister; she knew nothing else about the situation.
Back then, it was impossible for her father to tell her anything at that young age. He just told her this was her mom, and that was her sister, and it was enough for her to know that.
As she grew up, Alice accidentally learned that Sophia Wood married her father after her husband died, bringing along Lily Turner.
Since she learned about this, she felt more compassion for Lily Turner and treated her three-year-younger sister better than before.
"You won’t acknowledge them, in the future, you’ll..."
"Nothing you’re worried about will happen; you’ll always be my best sister, and I’ll always be your most cherished sister."
As soon as Alice spoke, Lily knew what she wanted to say, and before she could finish, she responded.
This sisterly bond wouldn’t change because of anything. In this life, she recognized only one true sister, and as for other sisters, she saw them just as passersby in her life.
Tears glistened in Alice’s eyes, not tears of sadness but of being moved and delighted, "Let’s be good sisters for a lifetime."
From the beginning, she intended to be sisters for life, and now she was even more determined about this thought.
"Mm!"
Lily agreed emphatically, just like Alice, from the start, she also lived with Alice with the intention of being sisters for life.
No matter what happened in the future, whether she bore the name Turner or changed it to Ann, she only recognized Alice as her sister.
Buzz buzz buzz!
When Lily wanted to continue chatting with Alice, suddenly the buzzing sound rang in her ears, indicating a new call.
"Sis! I can’t talk to you anymore, someone called Easton Holmes." Calling him this late, it must be something urgent, and she couldn’t delay his important matters.
"Alright, we’ll chat again some other time when we have time."
Although Alice had a lot to say to Lily and wanted to keep chatting, upon realizing Lily was using Easton’s phone, she immediately gave up.
"Mm! Sis! Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
After the two sisters said goodbye to each other, they hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Lily immediately handed the phone to Easton Holmes without even glancing at who was calling, "Someone called you."
As she spoke, she pushed the phone closer to him.
"You answer it for me."
Easton glanced at the phone Lily held up to him and saw it was indeed from his uncle, Michael Linton.
He asked her to answer the call for him, but she misunderstood his meaning, and after connecting the call, she placed the phone to his ear.
That wasn’t what he meant, okay? He meant for her to talk to his uncle directly, not just connect the call for him.
"Hello! Easton! Are you guys still over there?"
As soon as the call connected, Michael Linton didn’t wait for Easton to speak first; he anxiously asked.
Hearing his uncle’s voice from the other side of the call, Easton didn’t dwell on the call-answering issue anymore and quickly replied, "We’re on the way home now, it’ll be another ten minutes or so until we arrive."
