Sophia Wood had things to discuss with Michael Linton that had nothing to do with Easton Holmes and Lily Turner getting married, and she couldn't discuss them with anyone else.
"It's just some details. I think it would be more convenient to discuss them with his uncle, especially since we talked about it last night." She refused Old Master Linton, but her refusal was well justified.
"But his uncle isn't home now; he won't be back until evening." Callix Linton sensed that Sophia only wanted to discuss it with Michael Linton, but he didn't insist on her talking to him. He just truthfully stated the current situation.
Upon hearing that Michael Linton wouldn't be back until evening, Sophia's face immediately dropped, and a trace of urgency flashed in her eyes. "Could you give me his phone number? I'll contact him at noon."
Because the matter was urgent, she couldn't be concerned about what the other three might think and directly asked Old Master Linton for Michael's phone number.
