Chapter 509: You Are Lucky
Father-in-law?
When Easton Holmes just said that, Benjamin Shaw didn’t react for a moment. The father-in-law Easton mentioned was indeed his own father-in-law.
"Did you ask the wrong person? You should be asking your wife." As soon as he asked, Benjamin suddenly realized that he and Easton were brothers-in-law and shared the same father-in-law.
Thinking of this, he was immediately dazzled, no, shocked!
It was something completely unexpected for him that his good brother would ask about this.
Easton Holmes couldn’t see Benjamin Shaw on the other end of the phone, so he was unaware of Benjamin’s shock. At this moment, he didn’t have the extra attention to notice other things.
Hearing Benjamin asking like that, he only thought Benjamin was deliberately teasing him, and replied with frustration, "If I wanted to ask my wife, would I call you?"
It’s not that Easton was being difficult, but that he didn’t want Lily Turner to know he was planning to visit her parents, which is why he decided to ask Benjamin for Christopher Turner’s number.
Since he was going to visit them tomorrow night, he needed to make some preparations and inform them in advance, believing that showing up with his uncle wouldn’t be too abrupt.
He had already met her mother once and knew she wouldn’t be unwelcoming. To ensure tomorrow’s visit went smoothly, he decided to start building rapport with her dad.
He thought that communication might be easier between men.
Benjamin Shaw, completely unaware of Easton’s intentions, didn’t have the slightest clue. Hearing Easton’s words, he was utterly confused.
It wasn’t his good brother’s frustration that confused him, but his good brother’s words; his mind was in a complete blur.
"Why are you being so secretive? What exactly do you want to do?" Secretly asking for his father-in-law’s phone number behind his wife’s back, what was his good brother up to?
"I’ll tell you later. First, give me father-in-law’s phone number." Easton didn’t resolve Benjamin’s confusion but continued to ask for Christopher Turner’s phone number.
Indeed, something is going to happen!
Hearing Easton’s words, Benjamin was 100% sure Easton needed to talk to Christopher Turner about something. However, he didn’t continue prying because he knew it wouldn’t help.
Because he knew his good brother, and his good brother wasn’t someone who would easily compromise. Since he said he’d explain later, it meant he didn’t want to say now.
"Wait a minute, I’ll send you her dad’s number." Benjamin moved the phone from his ear to his eyes, opened the contacts list, found Christopher Turner’s number, copied and pasted it, and quickly sent it to Easton via text.
After sending it, he immediately put the phone back to his ear, "You’re very lucky!"
When Benjamin Shaw married Alice Turner, Christopher insisted he keep his phone number for future contact if needed.
Being forced into marriage, he was very angry at the time and didn’t want to keep that number at all. If it weren’t for something else distracting him, he would’ve deleted it.
Afterwards, he completely forgot about it, and if Easton hadn’t brought it up suddenly, he wouldn’t have remembered that Christopher Turner’s number was still on his phone.
Easton, although not understanding what Benjamin meant by that, could tell there was more behind his words. But he wasn’t in the mood to investigate that now.
"I have other things to attend to, I’ll hang up for now."
After a quick notification, he hung up the call.
