Chapter 1446: Shouldn’t You Send Me a Big Red Envelope?
Alice Turner didn’t verbally respond to Lily Turner. She just smiled and reached out to hold her hand. Together, they left the restroom and walked toward the living room.
"Sis! It’s so good to see you again."
Lily Turner held Alice Turner’s hand tightly. The grip unconsciously strengthened, as if only this could keep her from thinking it was a dream.
Alice Turner sighed and squeezed Lily Turner’s hand, "I’m sorry! I’ve worried you these past few years."
Leaving home for these years, the family must have been worried about her. Thinking about her impulsive actions five years ago, she felt she was selfish, only considering her own feelings.
"There’s no need to apologize between us. You’re my sister; it’s natural for me to worry about you." Lily Turner didn’t need her sister to apologize. Her sister had always cared for and loved her since they were young. Gratitude seemed too simple a word to express her feelings.
Alice Turner tilted her head and looked at Lily for a long time. Then, without saying more, she led her sister into the living room.
Seeing the sisters walk in hand in hand, the three sitting in the living room stopped their conversation, sat up, and turned their gaze to them.
"Why are you all looking at us like that? Don’t you recognize us?" Lily Turner was in an exceptionally good mood today. Seeing the three turn their heads in unison to look at her and Alice, she couldn’t help but tease them.
Before Sophia Wood and Anthony could speak, Thomas Fisher responded first, "Sister-in-law! We..."
"Sister-in-law?!"
Hearing Thomas Fisher call Lily Turner sister-in-law, Anthony felt both puzzled and confused. He withdrew his gaze from the sisters and turned to look at Thomas Fisher sitting not far away.
Sophia Wood also turned to Thomas Fisher, but unlike Anthony, she wasn’t puzzled or confused. She wanted to correct Thomas Fisher’s way of addressing Lily Turner, "Thomas! You’re already Lily’s soon-to-be brother-in-law. It’s not quite appropriate to call her sister-in-law anymore."
Earlier, when Lily and Alice were having a sisterly chat in the restroom, Sophia found out from Thomas Fisher that Alice had accepted his proposal. Since she accepted the proposal, Sophia believed good news was around the corner for them.
"Then I’ll call her sister-in-law from now on."
Deep in his heart, Thomas Fisher had already considered Lily Turner his sister-in-law, but since he hadn’t confirmed his relationship with Alice, he didn’t dare to call her that, still fearing his big brother at home.
But now, with the support of his future mother-in-law, he no longer needed to fear his big brother.
To build his courage and adapt to his new identity, he turned to his sister-in-law and called, "Sister-in-law!"
There always has to be a first time. The more you call, the smoother it will become.
"Hello, brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, shouldn’t you give me a big red envelope?" Lily Turner was direct. She called Thomas Fisher brother-in-law and then walked over with her hand out, asking for a big red envelope.
"Of course, I should give one." Thomas Fisher took out his phone from his pocket, opened WeChat, and was about to send Lily Turner a red envelope.
Seeing this, Lily Turner immediately reached out to stop him, "Brother-in-law! I was joking with you. You’re really going to give one?"
She was in high spirits today and wanted to joke around a bit for fun, not truly wanting a big red envelope.
"Of course, I really should give one. This big red envelope should be given." Thomas Fisher, knowing Lily Turner was joking, still genuinely wanted to send the big red envelope.
