Eva Webster didn't want to be burdened with a mortgage and car loan right after getting married.
Therefore, she decided she must find soone with strong financial standing, putting education and appearance second.
Upon saying this, Eva Webster added, "I don't want to end up worse off than Isla!"
Isla was the daughter of her aunt, in other words, Eva Webster's cousin.
Liam Webster sighed, "Girls like Isla are rare, you shouldn't always compare yourself to her!"
How many girls could afford to buy a fully paid house in Capital City and a car worth five hundred thousand when they're only twenty-three or twenty-four?
Eva Webster hated hearing this, she turned to Liam Webster, "So, you're saying I'm inferior to Isla?"
She considered herself no less good looking than her cousin. She attended a Double First-Class 211 university, which she thought was at least three tis better than her cousin's.
Why couldn't she be as good as her cousin?
It was just that her luck wasn't as good as her cousin's.
Hearing this, Liam Webster quickly explained: "Eva, that's not what I ant. You and Isla have your own strengths. Isla is gifted in drawing, but aren't you too? So there's no need to compare yourself to her in this!"
Her cousin Isla was a well-known cartoonist. Although she was only a sophomore in college, she had several IP works and was one of the top players in the world of Chinese cartoons.
Eva Webster couldn't stand it, it seed like at the end of the day, her brother still looked down on her!
Eva Webster tried to calm herself down, continuing, "Even if I don't have a talent for drawing, I would never force myself to marry soone like Marcus White!"
"Eva, I just suggested you try to get along with Old White. I didn't say you should marry him, you misunderstood my intention," Liam Webster explained.
At this point, Liam Webster added, "Since you dislike Old White so much, I won't ntion this again."
Eva Webster's expression finally softened, following up with, "That's more like it."
"Shall we go back now?"
Eva Webster followed Liam Webster's pace, lowering her voice, "Brother, I heard that Isla seems to be in a relationship."
"Really?" Liam Webster asked.
Eva Webster nodded, "I heard it from my aunt."
Liam Webster chuckled, "Isla is in college now, it's not unusual for her to be dating."
"True," Eva Webster linked arms with Liam Webster, "I'll ask Isla about her boyfriend's background tonight."
The siblings strolled and chatted, soon arriving at an old neighborhood.
Their aunt's family lives on the first floor.
A simple three-room and one-living room apartnt.
Liam Webster knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened.
The middle-aged woman who opened the door was wearing heavy gold earrings, she greeted them cheerfully, "Little Liam, Eva, you're back."
"Hello, Auntie." The siblings politely returned the greeting.
"Co in," she smiled, "Perfect timing, Isla just got back too."
Saying this, the middle-aged woman called into the house, "Isla, co out quick, your eldest cousin and second cousin are here."
A mont later, a figure erged.
The girl was wearing a red dress, her face adorned with a gentle smile, she was delicately beautiful – the kind of person who becos increasingly attractive the more you look.
Eva Webster hadn't seen her in three years, now looking at her cousin, she was surprised.
Did she have plastic surgery?
Otherwise, how could she suddenly beco so beautiful?
"Eldest cousin, second cousin,"
Isla Astir walked over, greeting them with a smile.
Liam Webster laughed, "Isla, you really embody the saying 'a girl's eighteen changes', you've beco more and more beautiful!"
"Thank you, eldest cousin." Isla Astir touched her hair shyly.
Eva Webster examined Isla Astir's face closely.
But regretfully,
She couldn't find any signs of plastic surgery on Isla's face.
Could it really be the girl's eighteen changes?
Olivia Armstrong continued, "Isla, go pour a cup of water for Liam and Eva. I'll wash so fruits."
"Alright." Isla Astir nodded.
Eva Webster sat on the living room sofa, examining the surroundings.
She assud that as a cartoonist, Isla Astir, would have so artistic sensibility and her ho would be aesthetically pleasing.
It turns out, it was not the case.
Although it was kept very clean, it lacked an artistic ambiance, it even seed a bit outdated.
Liam Webster laughed, "Auntie, you don't need to go through all this trouble, Eva and I aren't thirsty, you don't need to pour water or wash fruits. We're the ones imposing on you, uncle and Isla."
At this, Olivia Armstrong admonished, "Look at what you're saying! We're all family, how can you say you're imposing! When's the last ti you and Eva visited?"
Soon, Isla Astir brought two cups of tea, "Eldest cousin, second cousin, have so water."
