Chapter 1592: 392: Shameless! _3 Chapter 1592: 392: Shameless! _3 The Astir family lived not far from the airport, so it was easy enough for one person to take a taxi home. There really was no need to pick anyone up.
Moreover, Isla Astir was not a child anymore!
How high maintenance!
Eva Webster smiled and said, “Isla is so lucky. Even though she is grown up, she has someone to pick her up when she returns from her trips.”
Mrs. Astir chuckled, “Although Isla is already twenty years old, she’s still like a child to us. If we didn’t pick her up, your uncle and I would be worried sick. Besides, we have nothing to do at home.”
At these words, Eva Webster was at a loss for words.
She’s already that old!
She’s still a child?
Her own aunt is really blind. Considering blood relations, she and her aunt should be the closest.
After all, she was her aunt’s blood niece.
Isla Astir was just an adopted child.
Yet, her aunt?
Fails to appreciate the good things.
When she arrived in Capital City, her aunt didn’t even come to the airport to welcome her. Now when Isla Astir returns from the airport, the couple actually went together to pick her up!
Eva Webster then asked, “Who will pick up Isla when she’s off for events?”
What that meant was, if something were to happen, it should have happened by now, it wouldn’t wait until now.
Mrs. Astir chuckled, “When she attends events, the company arranges a pick-up for her. I heard that Isla is quite influential in their company. Everywhere she goes, she’s personally received by the leaders.” When she said this, the pride in Mrs. Astir’s eyes was evident.
Although Isla Astir was an adopted child, in Mrs. Astir’s eyes, she was her own flesh and blood.
Even more so than her own flesh and blood!
Sometimes, her biological daughter couldn’t be as filial as Isla Astir.
Eva Webster snorted but didn’t say anything more.
Mrs. Astir turned towards Eva Webster, “Eva, you stay at home. Your uncle and I will leave first.”
“Okay.”
The couple hailed a taxi and headed to Capital City Airport.
They arrived an hour early.
Standing at the arrival gate, Mrs. Astir was quite anxious, “Mr. Astir, what should we say to Isla later on?”
Although Mrs. Astir did not say it explicitly, Mr. Astir knew that she was worried about the porcelain figurine broken by Eva Webster.
In this month, although they had glued the broken figurine back together, it looked very different from a new piece.
Mr. Astir slightly furrowed his eyebrows, “Just tell her directly.”
After finishing speaking, he added, “Don’t worry. Our Isla isn’t an unreasonable child.”
“Okay.” Mrs. Astir gave a slight nod.
At this moment, Mr. Astir asked: “By the way, is Eva not working now?”
It’s been a month, and Eva Webster has been staying at the Astir family’s home the whole time, with no signs of leaving.
This made Mr. Astir somewhat anxious.
Eva Webster and Isla Astir share the same room. As long as Eva was around, Isla could only sleep on single bed.
As a father, he felt sorry for his daughter.
At the same time, Mr. Astir was also a bit confused.
Because he knew, in reality, Eva Webster had always looked down on their family, looked down on Isla Astir.
Eva Webster graduated from a key university of “Project 985”.
While Isla Astir was only an ordinary undergraduate student.
So every time Eva Webster came to Capital City, she definitely wouldn’t stay with them overnight.
But this time…
Eva Webster was overly fond of property.
Mrs. Astir shook her head, “I have not asked whether she quit her job or is on annual leave. Don’t worry, didn’t Little Mo go back to handle his household registration a few days ago? He has already bought a house here. When my younger brother comes to see the new house, Eva Webster will go back with them!”
Mr. Astir didn’t say anything more.
He just hoped that his niece would leave sooner, so that their home could be quiet sooner.
About half an hour later, the couple were standing among the crowd waiting with bated breath.
At this moment, Mr. Astir excitedly said, “Look, Isla is here! Look, that’s our Isla!”
At these words, Mrs. Astir immediately turned her gaze over.
Sure enough, Isla Astir was in sight.
With her luggage in hand, Isla Astir looked somewhat petite in the crowd.
After not seeing her daughter for a month, Mrs. Astir was very excited, “Isla!”
Isla Astir also saw her parents at this time and waved excitedly, “Mom! Dad!”
Pulling her suitcase, she sprinted over.
Mr. Astir immediately took her suitcase from her.
Isla Astir hugged her mother, “Mom, I missed you so much.”
Mrs. Astir laughed, “Look at what you’re saying. If a stranger saw us, they would think we hadn’t seen each other for years!”
It was just a month after all.
