Chapter 306: Chapter 306 Are We Both Monsters?
When Ryan Taylor called Easton Holmes at noon, Evelyn Taylor overheard by coincidence, and upon learning about their evening gathering, she insisted on tagging along with her brother.
After all, she was his dear little sister, and he couldn’t bear to see her unhappy, so he brought her along without mentioning it to anyone.
"Welcome, beautiful lady! Come over and have a seat."
Thomas Fisher didn’t think much of it, clapping his hands to warmly welcome Evelyn Taylor.
"Brother Ning!"
Evelyn responded to Thomas, but her gaze was fixed on Easton Holmes, smiling as she walked over to where he was.
"Brother Easton!"
After walking over, she naturally sat beside Easton Holmes, who instinctively shifted to the side.
The other three people present noticed Easton Holmes’s instinctive movement, but each had a different expression on their face.
Thomas Fisher’s handsome face showed an expression of confusion; he was aware that Evelyn Taylor liked Easton Holmes and that Easton didn’t like her back, but this deliberate avoidance was something he was witnessing for the first time.
Ryan Taylor’s handsome face instantly turned worried, concerned that Evelyn might act out and upset Easton Holmes again. One was his dear sister, and the other his good friend—he would be unhappy if either of them were displeased.
Evelyn Taylor’s expression was quite rich, filled with anger, sadness, disappointment, and reluctance, but she didn’t impulsively scoot closer to him.
After returning from Mr. Li’s house that day, she was indeed very angry and sad, but under her mother’s and brother’s persuasion, she gradually calmed down.
Once calm, she thought a lot about it, realizing she had been too hasty and impulsive before. Such behavior only pushed her further away from Brother Easton, so she decided to take a different approach to win him back.
When the atmosphere started getting a bit awkward, Benjamin Shaw and Alice Turner walked in one after the other, their sudden entrance throwing the room into a strange mood.
"Why are you guys staring at us like we’re monsters? Are we monsters?" Benjamin Shaw swept his disapproving gaze over the four seated people, then walked with Alice to sit among them.
Alice Turner began looking for Lily Turner the moment she walked in, but after scanning the room, she didn’t see her sister, and a hint of worry crept up in her heart.
Wasn’t tonight supposed to be a celebration of her sister and brother-in-law’s new marriage? But the brother-in-law was here; where was her sister?
Who was that pretty woman sitting next to her brother-in-law?
That woman was adorned in designer brands from head to toe, dressed very fashionably, even a bit avant-garde.
Alice Turner quietly sized up Evelyn Taylor, sitting next to Easton Holmes. The more she observed, the more worried she became.
Her sister had been cheated on by an ex-fiancé and a close friend before; she couldn’t go through a similar hurt again.
As everyone remained silent, Thomas Fisher spoke first to break the silence: "Third Brother! Who is this beautiful lady? Aren’t you going to introduce her to us?"
Aside from Easton Holmes, who had met Benjamin Shaw’s wife, Alice Turner, none of the others knew her, and they were all curious about who this woman was.
"Hello! I’m Lily Turner’s sister, Alice Turner!" Before Benjamin Shaw could introduce her, Alice introduced herself, but she did not identify as Mrs. Shaw, instead introducing herself as Lily Turner’s sister.
