Chapter 1625: 398: People from Two Worlds_4 Chapter 1625: 398: People from Two Worlds_4 There had been many opportunities laid right in front of her, but Seaton never truly cherished them.

Seeing Seaton being dragged away like a dead dog, Lamy’s eyes were full of sighs.

Who would have thought that Seaton, who had been so high and mighty just yesterday, would end up in such a condition today?

Seaton was carelessly discarded by the roadside.

After a miscarriage and not resting properly, followed by a series of severe blows, she became completely insane.

The Astir family.

Today was Mrs. Astir’s birthday.

Isla Astir woke up early to buy groceries at the market and even ordered a cake from a bakery.

As her car pulled up to the apartment building, she noticed a car parked at the entrance.

A Bentley.

A license plate starting with A, followed by four 1s.

It was Mandel Thompson’s car.

Realizing this, Isla Astir hastened her steps.

Pushing open the door, sure enough, she heard her mother’s voice, “Mr. Thompson, have some tea. Isla went out early, and I don’t know when she’ll be back. Should I call her?”

“No need, I’ll wait for her.” The warm voice of a man came from the living room.

Just then, Isla Astir spoke softly, “Mom, I’m home.”

“Isla,” Mrs. Astir immediately came out, took the groceries from Isla Astir, and smilingly said, “Mr. Thompson is here, in the living room.”

Isla Astir nodded slightly and walked towards the living room, “Brother Thompson.”

“Mandel,” Mandel Thompson slightly looked up.

Isla Astir sat opposite Mandel Thompson and asked, “Brother Thompson, what did you want to see me for?”

Mandel Thompson took out a document, “This is a part of the plan revised overnight by the planning department. Take a close look, and if there’s no problem, the planning department will continue down this route. Since Goldrick, who coordinates with you, couldn’t reach you, I happened to be passing by and thought I’d drop in.”

Isla Astir immediately took out her phone and logged into her work account, slightly embarrassed, “I forgot to log in.”

“It’s okay, take a look first,” Mandel Thompson said.

Isla Astir nodded.

She picked up the document on the table and carefully looked at it.

At this moment, footsteps were heard again in the living room, followed by Eva Webster’s voice, “Mr. Thompson!”

Seeing the car parked outside, Eva Webster knew that it had to be Mandel Thompson.

Mandel Thompson slightly looked up, “Hello.”

Seeing Mandel Thompson, Eva Webster’s heart raced, and she said, “Mr. Thompson, are you here for Isla?”

“Yes.”

Eva Webster narrowed her eyes slightly.

Who was Mandel Thompson?

He was the president of a corporation.

As a corporation president, how could he personally visit a minor author’s home for a trivial matter?

So…

There must be another reason.

Could it be…

That Mandel Thompson came to see more of her?

At this thought.

Eva Webster’s heart raced even faster.

Apart from this reason, she could think of no other.

Because Mandel Thompson liked her, but couldn’t find a reason to see her, he had to make up an excuse to visit Isla Astir!

Only by seeing Isla Astir, would he have the chance to see her.

Yes.

That must be it.

Could Mandel Thompson possibly like Isla Astir?

Even thinking with one’s toes, one would know that’s impossible!

Isla Astir wasn’t as pretty as her, nor as educated as her, she was inferior in every way. Mandel Thompson wasn’t a fool, how could he possibly like someone like Isla Astir?

Therefore, the person Mandel Thompson truly liked must be herself.

Everything he was doing now was for her.

Eva Webster grew more excited the more she thought about it, and continued, “Isla, is there any fruit in the fridge?”

“Yes,” Isla Astir nodded.

Eva Webster said with a smile, “Then I will go cut some fruit to bring over.”

Facing Mandel Thompson’s affection, she always had to give a response.

Having a taste of the fruit she personally cut would definitely make Mandel Thompson feel very happy.

Eva Webster went to the kitchen and started cutting fruits.

Soon, she had a plate of fruit ready and brought it to the living room, “Mr. Thompson, have some fruit.”

“Thank you, Miss Daisy,” Mandel Thompson politely expressed his gratitude.

Eva Webster looked at Mandel Thompson and said in a syrupy tone, “Mr. Thompson, don’t be so formal, I’m only a few years older than Isla. You can just call me by my name.”

Mandel Thompson did not say anything.

After this, Eva Webster added, “Then, just like Isla, shall I call you Brother Thompson?”

As Isla Astir, she absolutely had no right to call Mandel Thompson Brother Thompson.

The reason Mandel Thompson allowed Isla Astir to call him that was entirely because he wanted her to call him Brother Thompson too!

Mandel Thompson did not directly respond to Eva Webster’s words but turned to look at Isla Astir and then said, “Have you looked it over?”

Only then did Isla Astir realize, handing back the document to Mandel Thompson, “I’ve looked it over, no issues. Brother Thompson, you can proceed according to the planning department’s plan.”

“That’s fine, if there are any problems, I will have them contact you again,” Mandel Thompson nodded slightly and stood up from the sofa, “I have another meeting to attend, I need to go.”

“Okay,” Isla Astir stood up to see him off.

Eva Webster followed Isla Astir’s footsteps and accompanied Mandel Thompson all the way to the outside of the apartment building.

Mandel Thompson got into the car and looked at Isla Astir, “I’m heading off now.”

Before Isla Astir could speak, Eva Webster quickly waved to Mandel Thompson with a beaming smile, “Goodbye, Brother Thompson, and drive safely.”

Isla Astir was very confused by her side.

She completely did not understand Eva Webster’s maneuvers.

After Mandel Thompson’s car had completely disappeared, Eva Webster turned her head to Isla Astir and said, “Isla, Brother Thompson seems to treat you quite differently!”

She said this on purpose.

To make Isla Astir misunderstand.

Someday, when Mandel Thompson confessed to her, Isla Astir would certainly be painfully devastated.

Thinking this, Eva Webster felt immensely pleased inside.

Isla Astir said, “Cousin, you misunderstood.”

After saying this, Isla Astir turned around and went back inside.

Watching Isla Astir’s retreating back, the smile on Eva Webster’s face deepened.

Isla Astir must now mistakenly think that Mandel Thompson likes her.

That’s hilarious!

Isla Astir should really look in the mirror.

How could Mandel Thompson possibly fancy someone like her?

Isla Astir then said, “Cousin, I’m going to cook now.”

Every year for her mother’s birthday, Isla Astir would personally cook.

Upon hearing this, Eva Webster snorted coldly to herself.

People like Isla Astir are destined just to cook for themselves.

Unlike her.

Born a noble lady of the influential family.

Noble ladies have a myriad of servants at their disposal; why would they need to lift a finger?

In the future, she would be the Mistress of the Thompson family.

Isla Astir and she would belong to two different worlds.

With this thought, Eva Webster said smilingly, “Go ahead, just call me when the food is ready.”

Isla Astir turned and walked toward the kitchen.

Mrs. Astir was already washing vegetables. Seeing Isla Astir come in, she curiously asked, “Mr. Thompson left?”

“Yes,” Isla Astir nodded.

At the mention of Mandel Thompson, Mrs. Astir smiled warmly, “Mr. Thompson truly appears decent and well-mannered, and he also looks very handsome. It’s a shame that the Thompson family’s threshold is too high; otherwise, I would really talk it over.”

Standing by the door, Eva Webster almost burst out laughing when she heard this statement.

Her aunt really was daydreaming!
