Chapter 1495: You’re in for a Treat Today
Isla Lane didn’t even pretend to be polite as she got up to follow Sophia Wood out of the living room; she didn’t treat Sophia as an outsider at all.
Just like five years ago, she regarded her as her son’s mother-in-law.
Christopher Turner asked Thomas Fisher to follow him as they left the living room together.
As Thomas Fisher was leaving the living room, he glanced back at Alice Turner, who gave him a reassuring smile. Only then did he feel at ease to head to the dining room with his future father-in-law.
"Charlotte! They’ve all gone, let’s hurry over too." After Alice Turner finished speaking, she prepared to get up and follow them out. But as soon as she moved, her arm was grabbed by a hand.
She looked down at the hand, then followed it to the owner, "What’s wrong, Charlotte?"
As smart as she was, how could she not know what the other person was thinking?
"Alice! Is there still a chance for you and Benjamin?" Charlotte Shaw, one hand holding Alice Turner’s arm, looked at her with hopeful eyes.
The moment she saw Isla Lane and Charlotte Shaw walk in earlier, Alice Turner had already realized this might come up, but since the other party didn’t mention it, she couldn’t just bring it up herself.
Since the other party had now spoken, there was no need for her to keep pretending.
"Charlotte! I’ve already accepted Thomas’s proposal. Do you think there’s any chance of me having anything to do with Benjamin Shaw?" From the moment she accepted Thomas Fisher’s proposal, Alice Turner had made up her mind, without hesitation or doubt, to face the challenges and difficulties together with him.
In Alice Turner’s eyes, Charlotte Shaw saw determination and decisiveness. In fact, she had already perceived the commitment between Thomas Fisher and Alice Turner back at the hotel.
But as Benjamin Shaw’s sister, she felt she should at least try to fight for her brother, hoping for a miracle.
"Will Thomas’s mom agree to you being with him?" Charlotte Shaw already had an answer in her heart, as she had learned about some issues from her mother on her way here.
This was indeed the situation Alice Turner was most worried about. However, she wasn’t the least bit intimidated by this scenario. She had the confidence and determination to resolve this difficult situation.
"I believe she will eventually agree." She said it with such firmness, yet there was an involuntary trace of worry in her heart.
That wasn’t just anyone; it was her future mother-in-law, and she couldn’t treat her as she would treat others.
Charlotte Shaw was shaken by Alice Turner’s firm attitude, wanting to say more but unable to speak up.
"Charlotte! Let’s go, let’s eat."
Alice Turner withdrew her arm from Charlotte Shaw’s hand, then grabbed Charlotte’s hand to pull her up.
Regardless of whether the other person was willing, she pulled her towards the living room, heading straight for the dining room.
As Alice Turner led Charlotte Shaw into the dining room, the four who had preceded them were already seated, but hadn’t started eating yet.
"Thomas! In celebration today, let’s have a drink." Christopher Turner asked Aunt Hua to bring out the wine he’d stored for many years, opening it and pouring for both Thomas Fisher and himself, as well as for Sophia Wood and Isla Lane.
"Thomas! You’re in for a treat today. This bottle has been in my dad’s collection for years, and he’s never been willing to drink it." Alice Turner sat down beside Thomas Fisher, her eyes filled with tenderness, a smile on her lips.
