Christopher's request was giving Alice a headache, with Lily now staying in the hospital, how could she call her to come here for dinner? That would just waste all her previous efforts.
"You said Lily's phone is off, how can I reach her?" In a moment of urgency, she thought of what her dad had just said.
"Don't you have that Easton guy's number? You can call him and ask him to pass on the message." Sophia spoke up before Christopher could, and as soon as she did, Alice felt her head buzzing.
This news to Christopher was truly a delightful surprise, and he eagerly urged, "Quickly, give them a call and ask them both to come together."
As he spoke, he couldn't hide his inner delight and excitement.
"No way! Only Lily can come back alone."
As Alice was still thinking about how to reply, Sophia again spoke first, this time relieving the urgency that had just risen in her heart.
Christopher became unhappy, asking discontentedly, "Why not?"
