Chapter 1992: 563: Regret
William Astir, just like Olivia Armstrong, was incredibly pleased with Mandel Thompson.
A young man with a distinguished family background, reputable character, and good looks, a son-in-law like that is truly hard to find even with a lantern.
Although they also couldn’t bear to let their daughter get married.
But it’s not possible for the young lady to live with them forever.
Sooner or later, she has to get married.
eting the right person at the right age is the happiest thing in this world.
What’s more, Mandel Thompson is so outstanding.
Not to say that he’s one in a thousand.
He’s one in ten thousand.
So, when hearing that Isla Astir’s boyfriend was Mandel Thompson, William Astir was extrely excited and continued, “Is it really Mr. Thompson? Isla, you’re not lying to Dad, are you?”
Isla Astir replied, “I’m not lying to you, it’s true.”
Olivia Armstrong couldn’t help but tease, “Look at you, William, acting all worthless!”
William Astir looked at Olivia Armstrong, “As long as you’re worth sothing, that’s all that matters.”
Olivia Armstrong gave him a look, “Isla just said little Thompson is going to visit our house, asking when you’d be free?”
“Of course, I’m free anyti!” As he said this, William Astir seed to rember sothing, then added, “Ah, not right, let check the calendar, we should pick a good day.”
It’s the new son-in-law’s first visit after all; it can’t be treated carelessly.
Isla Astir said with a smile, “Dad, aren’t you overdoing it a bit? It’s not a big deal, what’s there to look at a calendar for?”
“How is this not a big deal? It’s our family’s top priority!” Saying this, William Astir went to get the calendar.
William Astir flipping through the calendar, soon said, “The day after tomorrow is not bad at all, the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar is suitable for all activities. Isla, tell Mr. Thompson to co over the day after tomorrow.”
Isla Astir nodded, “Then I’ll ask him tonight if he’s free the day after tomorrow.”
“Ask him now.” William Astir was already getting impatient.
Isla Astir said with a smile, “He’s driving right now.”
Upon hearing this, William Astir quickly said, “Then don’t ask now, wait until he’s ho.”
He’s driving at the mont; what if he has an accident while replying to Isla Astir’s WhatsApp ssages?
Olivia Armstrong suddenly noticed that of the two little cream puppies, now there was only one left, and she imdiately asked, “William, where’s Nino?”
“Isn’t he right beside ?”
Olivia Armstrong was speechless, “Look where he is!”
William Astir looked down.
There was no sign of Nino in the air!
Only Lucky was eagerly looking at him.
“Nino! Nino!” William Astir beca anxious and imdiately turned around to look for Nino, “This is strange, Nino was clearly right by my side just now!”
Olivia Armstrong and Isla Astir also went out to look for Nino.
“Nino!”
In Capital City’s winter, the temperature outside is nearly minus thirty degrees, and since winter began, William Astir has only been walking the dogs for about ten minutes each ti.
After several minutes of searching, the family of three hadn’t seen Nino.
A neighbor passed by, curiously asking, “What are you guys looking for?”
Olivia Armstrong replied, “We’re looking for our little dog Nino. Mrs. Riverside, have you seen Nino?”
Mrs. Riverside was a native of Capital City.
She was sowhat unused to Olivia Armstrong’s overly familiar behavior.
Others calling her Mrs. Riverside was acceptable.
But not Olivia Armstrong.
Clearly, Olivia’s calling her Mrs. Riverside was an attempt to establish a familial relationship.
Olivia’s family ca from a small place, and Mrs. Riverside did not have such relatives.
It would be embarrassing to admit it.
People from Capital City should make friends and beco relatives with other people from Capital City.
Mrs. Riverside said with a smile, “I haven’t seen your Nino, Mrs. Armstrong. When other people call Mrs. Riverside, it’s because my generational rank is higher than theirs. If you also call Mrs. Riverside, wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you in terms of seniority? Later on, you can just call Jack’s Mom.”
Olivia Armstrong didn’t think so much; she didn’t intend to establish kinship with Mrs. Riverside, who was straightforward, just like how people from the countryside are.
Is it a big deal to call you Mrs. Riverside?
Not a big problem.
Olivia Armstrong didn’t mind letting Mrs. Riverside gain so advantage in terms of seniority.
After all, Mrs. Riverside was indeed older than her by so years.
But Isla Astir imdiately picked up on the other aning of Mrs. Riverside’s words and said with a smile, “You are right, Mrs. Riverside, my mom has noted that.”
With that, Isla Astir took Olivia Armstrong’s hand, “Mom, let’s look over there.”
Even though Olivia Armstrong was slow on the uptake, she too sensed sothing was amiss at this mont, and looking at Isla Astir, she muttered, “Isla, what did Mrs. Riverside an just now?”
Isla Astir continued, “Mom, Mrs. Riverside doesn’t want us to try to beco relatives with her, so when you see her later, don’t be so enthusiastic, just call her Jack’s Mom.”
