Chapter 1626: 399: Out of my league! Chapter 1626: 399: Out of my league! Isla Astir wants to marry Mandel Thompson?

She doesn’t even look at what place the Thompson Clan is!

When choosing a daughter-in-law, the Thompson Clan certainly values personal ability and education first.

Does Isla have either of those things?

Isla doesn’t even have a formal job.

Although her comics are selling very well now.

But trends are always being updated and changing.

What if Isla suddenly ran out of creativity and could not create more excellent works, what would she rely on for food?

At that time, Isla would only be able to sit back and eat away her resources.

Thinking of this.

Eva Webster snorted coldly in her heart.

In the kitchen.

Isla said with a smile, “Mom, what are you thinking about? Brother Thompson and I aren’t even from the same world.”

She never thought there would be any entanglement between her and Mandel Thompson.

“It was just a casual remark,” Mrs. Astir said as she put the washed potatoes into the dish, then added, “Don’t they always say on TV that nothing is absolute? What if you really end up with Mr. Thompson?”

Mrs. Astir had a very good mindset.

It would naturally be delightful to see Isla end up with Mandel Thompson.

But if the two didn’t end up together, then it was simply not meant to be.

Since it wasn’t meant to be, one couldn’t force it.

Isla shook her head with a smile.

Isla was too calm about it.

If it were any other girl, she probably would have some longing for the situation with Mandel Thompson.

But not Isla; from start to finish, she remained indifferent.

This inevitably made Mrs. Astir wonder if her daughter already had a boyfriend!

With that thought, Mrs. Astir looked at Isla and continued, “Isla, tell me the truth, do you have a boyfriend at school?”

“No, I don’t,” Isla answered.

Mrs. Astir narrowed her eyes, “Really?”

“Really.”

Mrs. Astir went on to say, “Isla, you’re already twenty years old, it’s normal to date. If you have a boyfriend, just tell Mom, and I’ll help you analyze if the boy is reliable. Remember, you must take dating seriously and not just do it for fun!”

Isla nodded, “Mom, I understand what you’re saying. But I really haven’t dated anyone. I’m so busy every day, I don’t even have time to meet deadlines, let alone date!”

Even though Isla wasn’t Mrs. Astir’s biological daughter, she was raised by her, so Mrs. Astir knew Isla very well.

Since Isla said so, she definitely hadn’t dated.

Mrs. Astir said with a smile, “Then, when you look for a boyfriend in the future, just use Mr. Thompson’s standards.”

A moment later, she added, “I mean the height and looks, family background doesn’t matter, as long as today’s youth are hardworking and honest, they can surely lead a prosperous life.”

Isla responded with a smile, “Okay.”

Okay?

Standing outside, Eva Webster almost burst out laughing when she heard this.

Isla was truly shameless!

She even had the nerve to say the word ‘okay’!

It seemed, as she had guessed, Isla did have inappropriate thoughts about Mandel Thompson.

With that thought, Eva Webster narrowed her eyes.

Ding-dong–
Just then, the doorbell rang in the air.

Eva immediately reacted and rushed to open the door.

The door opened.

It wasn’t just anyone.

It was Aunt Beatrice Sabir, Uncle Edward Armstrong, and cousins Christina Armstrong and George Armstrong, a family of four.

Eva greeted them with a smile, “Uncle, Aunt, Cousin Christina, George, please come in.”

Eva’s mother Windy Armstrong had one sister and one brother.

The sister was none other than Isla’s adoptive mother Olivia Armstrong.

And the brother was Edward Armstrong.

Of them, the person Eva looked down upon the most was her uncle’s family.

Especially Aunt Beatrice Sabir.

Beatrice epitomized the typical rural woman, always trying to climb the social ladder. Back when Isla hadn’t started drawing comics yet and the Astir family of three were still farming in the countryside, there was no sign of Beatrice giving them the time of day.

Nor did she ever visit them of her own accord.

And then there was Cousin Christina.

Christina hadn’t even finished middle school when she started working in factories, and she was still there to this day. It would be fine if she weren’t particularly pretty, but her aspirations didn’t match her reality.

She actually fantasized about marrying a local from the Capital City.

Even disregarding people from her own village.

The only one in the uncle’s family who might amount to something was probably just George Armstrong.

However…

George, though he had good academic performance and even got into a “Project 985” University in the Capital City, was too arrogant!

He looked down on everything.

Such a person could at best work for others in the future and would hardly achieve anything great.
