Although Thomas Fisher didn’t know exactly what Christopher Turner was thinking at this moment, he could sense that Christopher was particularly attentive to the relationship between him and Alice Turner, which he considered a good sign.

With such a guess and idea, he felt much more relaxed, but he still didn’t dare to be careless, as he hadn’t personally heard the word "agree" from Christopher yet.

"Maybe Alice feels it’s not the right time." What he said was a different matter from the other’s conversation, but the meaning was the same.

"Oh."

Christopher Turner murmured "Oh" thoughtfully.

At this moment, the mother and daughters who had gone to the kitchen walked into the living room. Sophia Wood and Alice Turner each carried a glass of water, with Lily Turner following behind them, holding a plate of freshly washed fruits.

"Have some water."

Alice Turner walked over and placed her glass of water on the coffee table in front of Thomas Fisher. As she stood up, she looked at him deeply.

Although she didn’t say much, it didn’t affect his judgment. From the way she looked at him, he realized that there was a situation that had occurred in the kitchen.

If his judgment wasn’t mistaken, he figured her mom found out about their true relationship, possibly involving her sister, Lily.

As Thomas Fisher suspected, indeed, something had happened in the kitchen earlier. Alice Turner was pulled aside by Sophia Wood to understand some situations, all concerning the emotional entanglements between her, Thomas Fisher, and Benjamin Shaw.

Alice Turner confidently told Sophia Wood that there were no feelings between her and Benjamin Shaw, only disdain and dislike.

However, things were different between her and Thomas Fisher. Although they hadn’t known each other for very long, mutual romantic feelings had already developed between them.

Thomas Fisher glanced at the glass of water Alice Turner had just placed down and looked at her through the water vapor rising from it, "You’ve worked hard."

He didn’t say thank you to her, feeling that thank you sounded too formal. But he couldn’t hold back from saying something, so he replaced "thank you" with "You’ve worked hard," which was met with a roll of the eyes.

Alice Turner rolled her eyes at Thomas Fisher with no good humor, bypassed the coffee table, and sat not far from him.

Although her mom and sister already knew about their relationship, her dad was still unaware, so she decided to maintain some distance from him.

"Thomas! Drink some water!"

Sophia Wood pointed at the glass of water Alice Turner had just placed on the coffee table, indicating for Thomas Fisher to drink it. After signaling, she sat down next to Christopher Turner.

Thomas Fisher responded with a smile: "Got it, Auntie."

Her mom likely had no objections to them being together, seemingly even quite pleased.

Her dad had a good impression of him too. From their earlier conversation, he sensed that her dad probably already guessed their relationship and had been probing him with questions.

Lily Turner glanced at the four seated individuals, placed the plate of fruits on the coffee table, and moved to sit alone at a side, trying to minimize her presence without interrupting their conversation.

"Lily! Why are you sitting so far away?" She wanted to lower her presence, but someone wouldn’t let her.

Alice Turner got up, walked over, and sat next to Lily Turner, choosing to sit with her sister while leaving a certain man to her parents to entertain for a while.

"Distance creates beauty," Lily Turner joked playfully with a smile.
