Mandel Thompson locked the car door, following Isla Astir's footsteps.
The Astir family lives on the first floor.
Through the balcony, Eva Webster saw this scene, but due to the deep night, she didn't see clearly what kind of car the man who brought Isla Astir ho was driving.
The Astir house has a password lock.
Isla Astir opened the door.
Astir's parents were chatting in the living room, they turned to look at the door as soon as they heard it open.
The sight left them slightly stunned.
Nobody expected Isla Astir to bring a man ho.
Nervously, Isla Astir introduced, "Mom, Dad, this is my friend, Mandel Thompson."
Finishing her sentence, she turned to Mandel, "Brother Thompson, these are my parents."
Mandel Thompson looked at Astir's parents, "Uncle, Aunt."
With his nearly 6.3 feet tall height, Mandel Thompson towered over Mr. Astir by more than two heads, forcing Mr. Astir to look up at him.
In addition, his suit and superior deanor, along with his remarkable appearance, exerted a sort of pressure on others.
Astir's parents, who had been peasants all their lives, had never encountered such a person.
Mrs. Astir was the first to react, "Please co in, Mr. Thompson."
Then she turned to Mr. Astir, "Go and make so tea for Mr. Thompson."
Mr. Astir imdiately went to make tea.
Mandel Thompson spoke again, "Uncle and Aunt, don't go to any trouble, I'll just sit for a while and leave."
"It's no trouble at all, just making a cup of tea," Mrs. Astir looked at Mandel Thompson, her face almost blooming into a flower, "Please have a seat, Mr. Thompson."
She seed to be sizing up Mandel Thompson as her future son-in-law.
After all, a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law likes him more the more she sees him.
"Thank you."
"You're welco."
At this ti, Mr. Astir ca over with the tea he had made, "Mr. Thompson, here's your tea."
Mandel Thompson took the teacup with both hands, "Thank you, Uncle."
In her room, Eva Webster listened to the sounds outside, she couldn't help but change out of her pajamas and walk out.
As soon as she entered the living room, her gaze was drawn to Mandel Thompson sitting on the sofa.
The man, all dressed up, just sat there on the sofa, exuding an aura of the upper echelons.
This... this is the man who brought Isla Astir ho?
Eva Webster was glad she had changed into a nice outfit, she walked over with a smile, "Uncle, Aunt, you have guests?"
Mrs. Astir turned around, "Eva, this is Mr. Thompson, Isla's friend."
Eva Webster walked up to Mandel Thompson, gracefully saying, "Hello, Mr. Thompson, I'm Isla's cousin Eva Webster."
"Hello," Mandel Thompson nodded politely.
Eva Webster then walked over to Isla Astir and asked in a low voice, "Isla, is he your boyfriend?"
"No," Isla Astir denied softly.
Recently, the rights to one of her very popular comics were sold, and coincidentally, Mandel Thompson is the father of the buyer.
Eva Webster squinted her eyes and looked at Astir's parents, "Aunt, Uncle, I ate a bit much tonight, I'm going for a walk to aid digestion."
"Sure, go ahead," Mrs. Astir said, then added, "Rember to take your phone and co back soon."
"Okay, Aunt."
Eva Webster went outside.
In fact, she wasn't out for a walk, but to find out what kind of car Mandel Thompson was driving.
Eva Webster stopped dead when she got outside.
A Bentley!
A Bentley worth five million!
As expected, Mr. Thompson in the house was indeed a high-ranking person.
Being able to drive a five million yuan Bentley indicated that, Mr. Thompson was not short of money, perhaps he was even a noble of Capital City.
With this thought, Eva Webster was very excited.
She didn't expect Isla Astir to be so lucky.
Eva Webster made an effort to calm herself down.
It seed that her trip to Capital City had not been made in vain.
After confirming what kind of car Mandel Thompson was driving, Eva Webster didn't go back right away, instead she aimlessly wandered around the neighborhood.
Since Isla Astir denied that Mandel Thompson was her boyfriend, then she had a reason to ask Isla Astir to introduce her to Mandel Thompson.
So...
What kind of excuse should she use?
Just then, Liam Webster ca walking over from nearby, seeing Eva Webster, he was sowhat surprised, "Eva? Why are you out so late?"
"I'm out for a walk to aid digestion," Eva Webster answered.
Liam Webster nodded, "Are you going back with now?"
"Hmm," Eva Webster followed Liam Webster's steps.
As they walked towards the house, Liam Webster continued, "Old Bai invited to dinner tomorrow, do you want to co?"
"No," Eva Webster flatly refused.
After so thought, Liam Webster still spoke his mind, "Actually, Old Bai is really a nice guy, why don't you add him on WhatsApp and get to know him? What if you're attracted to him?"
"No need," Eva Webster had a clear goal, she didn't waste ti on unnecessary people.
Liam Webster continued, "Actually, I think my classmate should have a pretty good impression of you, tonight I joked about playing matchmaker for you two, and he didn't refuse."
Eva Webster frowned slightly, looking at Liam Webster, "Brother, are you bored? How many tis do I have to tell you, I'm not interested in your classmate. Tell him as soon as possible, to stop dreaming, not to be a toad wanting to eat swan at."
She wouldn't marry a poor man who had nothing.
Liam Webster sighed, "Alright, since you really don't like him, I'll make it clear to him tomorrow."
