Chapter 294: Chapter 294: You two are a perfect match
Hearing Bella Carter mention Evelyn Taylor, Lily Turner’s expression subtly darkened for a moment, but she quickly adjusted back to her usual state.
"Why is she causing trouble for me?"
Lily Turner pretended to be clueless on purpose, and the only goal of this act was to learn something about Easton Holmes and Evelyn Taylor from Bella Carter.
Bella Carter didn’t expect Lily Turner to ask this, nor did she realize Lily was pretending, because Lily added some elements of performance to make it convincing.
"She likes Easton. Didn’t you notice at the gala? She made it so obvious."
Bella Carter spoke her mind quickly; she’s that kind of person who can’t keep anything in. By this time, she had completely forgotten the warning Jaxon Dyer gave her.
After a few interactions, Lily Turner realized that Bella Carter was straightforward, so she wasn’t surprised or shocked when Bella began prying.
"I noticed something unusual between them, but I’m not sure what it’s all about."
If she denied seeing any odd signs, not only would the woman sitting beside her not believe it, even she herself wouldn’t believe it.
"You don’t know, but I do." Bella Carter moved closer to Lily Turner, and after shortening the distance between them, she continued, "Evelyn has liked Easton since childhood, for the sake of..."
"They grew up together?"
Lily Turner had no clue that Easton Holmes and Evelyn Taylor had known each other since childhood. She always thought they met because of Ryan Taylor. The childhood connection certainly surprised her.
"Their families have been friends for generations, and both families hope the two will be together." Bella Carter had gleaned all this from Jaxon Dyer, who repeatedly reminded her not to spill any of it, especially to Lily Turner, but she didn’t take it seriously at all.
They really are childhood sweethearts, and both families hope they end up together.
Family friends! Childhood sweethearts! Parental approval!
All just falling into the stereotype; why not make a pact for an arranged marriage in childhood then?
Thinking of this, Lily Turner couldn’t help but sigh, "They do seem well-matched."
The man handsome, the woman beautiful, their family backgrounds are similar, making them a good match in every aspect.
"How are they well-matched? I never saw that?" Had Lily Turner not appeared, Bella would have shared the same sentiment, believing Easton Holmes and Evelyn Taylor were well-suited and that their union was just a matter of time.
But after learning that Easton Holmes had married Lily Turner, Bella Carter dismissed that notion, feeling that Lily and Easton were a perfect match.
Lily Turner didn’t know what Bella Carter truly thought; hearing her speak this way, Lily assumed she was just being polite to her, keeping up appearances.
"You and Easton look perfect together—one is handsome and dashing, the other beautiful and charming; you two are an absolute match." Before Lily could speak, Bella Carter voiced her opinion once more.
"Sister-in-law! You’re so sweet..."
Ding dong!
At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
