Chapter 1814: 437: Big brother confesses!_3

Mandel Thompson just looked at Isla Astir, "Miss Astir, is there a possibility that what they say is true? I do all this just to make you smile."

"Ah?" Isla Astir was instantly stunned.

She couldn’t have imagined that Mandel Thompson would suddenly say something like that.

Mandel Thompson gave a faint smile, "Don’t be nervous, Miss Astir; I’m just kidding."

So it was a joke!

Isla Astir breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still a bit nervous, beating rapidly.

"I’m not nervous."

Mandel Thompson chuckled softly, "Yes, Miss Astir is not nervous at all now; you’re just a bit stuttery when speaking."

Isla Astir: "..."

She had never realized before that Mandel Thompson had this side to him.

Mandel Thompson looked at Isla Astir and continued, "By the way, having known Miss Astir for so long, I still don’t know whether Miss Astir has a boyfriend now?"

Boyfriend!

Why would Mandel Thompson suddenly ask her this?

Isla Astir swallowed.

She was getting more and more nervous; what should she do?

A moment later, Isla Astir picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee, then said, "No, I don’t."

"That’s good," Mandel Thompson spoke dispassionately.

That’s good?

What did Mandel Thompson mean by that?

Before Isla Astir could react, Mandel Thompson continued, "Then, has anyone been pursuing Miss Astir?"

"Yes..." Isla Astir said.

Mandel Thompson then asked, "And what about Miss Astir?"

"What?" Isla Astir was puzzled and didn’t understand what Mandel Thompson meant.

Mandel Thompson wasn’t flustered or in a hurry to respond to Isla Astir, but instead, he picked up the coffee on the table and started speaking again, "What I mean is, does Miss Astir like any guy?"

Isla Astir hadn’t expected the conversation to gradually turn this way.

Weren’t they just discussing a collaboration?

"Um," Isla Astir took a sip of coffee to ease her nervous mood, "No..."

Mandel Thompson gave a faint smile, "Then perhaps now you could."

"Ah?"

Mandel Thompson continued, "How about considering me, Miss Astir?"

Isla Astir’s eyes widened.

Did Mandel Thompson know what he was saying?

Consider him?

What did Mandel Thompson mean?

Before Isla Astir could speak, Mandel Thompson continued, "I am thirty-two this year, have no bad habits, and once liked a girl in high school, but that’s all in the past now. What’s important is now, Miss Astir, please consider liking me, and we could have a mutually passionate romance."

Isla Astir’s heartbeat thundered on.

Mandel Thompson had said a lot in one breath, but what reached Isla Astir’s ears was this: Blah blah blah blah... Miss Astir, please consider liking me.

Like him?

At this moment, Isla Astir’s mind went blank.

"Miss Astir?"

Mandel Thompson spoke again.

"Ah, what is it?" Isla Astir just came back to her senses.

Mandel Thompson smiled, "What do you think of my suggestion?"

"I," Isla Astir bit her lip, "so, you were confessing just now?"

It didn’t sound like it.

"Yes." Mandel Thompson nodded his head.

He was certain he liked Isla Astir.

He hadn’t felt such an emotion since high school.

Isla Astir was different from other girls.

She was independent, gentle, and gracious.

He wanted to give it a try.

Mandel Thompson continued, "Miss Astir, what do you say?"

Isla Astir felt like her heart might jump out of her chest.

Thump thump.

She had never felt that Mandel Thompson liked her.

This sudden confession was beyond Isla Astir’s expectations.

What now?

How should she respond to Mandel Thompson?

She couldn’t bring herself to reject him.

Nodding, she feared she wasn’t worthy of Mandel Thompson.

The gap between them wasn’t small.

Mandel Thompson slowly spoke, "Miss Astir, don’t be nervous, take your time to consider. No matter how long it takes, I can wait for your answer. If you want to know more about me, feel free to ask; I am willing to tell you everything I can."

His words continued, "I feel that if you don’t have someone you particularly like, you might consider me. If we were together, I can assure you of my absolute loyalty; additionally, my family background is good, and I would be presentable in public. Most importantly, I like you, and it’s better to be with someone who loves you than with someone you love. Being with someone who loves you will certainly make you happier."

Mandel Thompson had been in business for a long time, so no matter what the issue, he could always maintain clear-headedness.
