Sophia Wood also agreed with Lily Turner’s opinion. During tomorrow’s wedding ceremony, she believed it was only right for Christopher Turner to escort Lily Turner onto the stage. If Lily hadn’t mentioned it, she would have.
"But that..."
"Dad! Don’t say anything more. We’ve decided on this. Tomorrow, you’ll escort me onto the stage."
Christopher Turner still wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Lily Turner firmly interrupted him.
Seeing her so determined, he said nothing more about it.
As evening approached, relatives and friends who had received the wedding invitations started arriving one after another.
Lily Turner, being pregnant, made Sophia Wood worry that she might get exhausted. After Lily greeted the relatives and friends, Sophia had her go upstairs to her room to rest.
Alice Turner didn’t go upstairs with Lily. She stayed downstairs with Sophia Wood and Christopher Turner to entertain the arriving relatives and friends.
Downstairs was bustling, while upstairs seemed considerably quieter.
After Lily Turner returned to her room, although it was peaceful, she found it extremely dull—no phone, no television.
She sat foolishly on her bed, glancing around the room, finding nothing to entertain herself with.
Bam!
Just as Lily Turner was feeling bored, Alice Turner burst in, looking flustered. Seeing this, Lily quickly got up and approached her sister, "Sis! What’s wrong?"
Her sister was always calm and composed; she rarely saw her this flustered.
"Henry Thompson’s dad and mom are here."
Alice Turner said this while catching her breath, and it seemed like she hadn’t finished her thought. What she was about to say was the key point.
Lily Turner’s brow furrowed suddenly, and she anxiously asked, "Why are his parents here? Did Mom and Dad also send them an invitation?"
Since she last saw the Thompson family of three at home, she hadn’t seen anyone from the Thompson Family for three or four months.
She was unsure if the Thompson couple came because they received an invitation or if they heard the news and came on their own. She really couldn’t figure it out now.
"From what his dad said, it seemed like they didn’t receive an invitation. Judging by their demeanor, it seemed they were holding a grudge against our parents." Charles Thompson and Amber Wood seemed to come looking for a confrontation. Alice Turner felt that the Thompson couple’s anger wasn’t about the invitation but related to something else.
Whatever it was, she thought it certainly had to do with the relationship between Henry Thompson and Lily Turner.
After suspecting this, she quickly sneaked out of the living room and immediately went upstairs to find Lily Turner.
She had no idea what the situation downstairs was now.
The situation Alice Turner described left Lily Turner both surprised and worried. Her parents hadn’t sent the Thompsons an invitation, which was completely out of character for them.
"Whether to send an invitation is our parents’ right and freedom. What complaints do his parents have?" Lily Turner already had grievances against the Thompson couple, especially Amber Wood. She hadn’t liked that woman from the start.
That woman used to either pick on her or deliberately find fault with her. The most distressing part was that Amber Wood always complained to her son, saying she was this or that, criticizing her in every aspect.
At this moment, a relative’s kid ran in from outside, shouting as he entered, "Sister Alice! Sister Lily! Uncle is calling you both downstairs."
