Chapter 1836: 441: Issue a duel challenge, falling off the horse prelude_5

Isla Astir continued, "Poppy isn’t that kind of person."

"People’s hearts are inscrutable," Mandel Thompson said evenly. "What kind of person she is will never be written on her face."

Isla Astir laughed lightly.

Another half hour passed, and the car finally arrived at the entrance of the Astir family’s residential complex.

Isla Astir got out of the car.

"Miss Astir, wait a moment."

Mandel Thompson suddenly spoke up.

"What is it?" Isla Astir turned to look at Mandel Thompson.

Mandel Thompson spoke indifferently, "The process isn’t finished yet."

Process?

Mandel Thompson pointed to his own cheek.

Isla Astir understood in an instant and immediately leaned over to give him a kiss.

"Well, I should go now."

"Wait another moment," Mandel Thompson spoke again.

Isla Astir asked, smiling, "What is it now, Boss Thompson?"

Men, why do they always have so many issues?

Mandel Thompson looked at Isla Astir and said seriously, "I’ve been thinking, there’s something I still need to tell you."

"Go on," Isla Astir said.

Mandel Thompson continued, "That girl named Poppy Smith is not your kind of people. Better to keep your distance from her in the future."

"Why?" Isla Astir furrowed her brows slightly.

In fact, she was quite annoyed with men passing judgement on her friends.

Not even a boyfriend is allowed to do that.

Mandel Thompson took out his phone, "During dinner, when you went to the restroom, she said some inexplicable things to me. If you don’t believe it, I can show you proof."

"Show me the proof."

Mandel Thompson added Poppy Smith as a WhatsApp contact in front of Isla Astir.

Poppy Smith immediately accepted.

Mandel Thompson then made a voice call to Poppy Smith, putting it on speaker.

"Mr. Thompson?"

Poppy Smith answered quickly, her voice somewhat surprised.

Mandel Thompson continued, "It’s me, Miss Smith. Have you arrived home safely?"

"I have, what about you, Mr. Thompson?" asked Poppy Smith.

Mandel Thompson said, "I just dropped Miss Astir home. Miss Smith, some things are hard to convey through text, and I don’t like to hide things in my heart. I feel that you are more attractive than Miss Astir, and if you don’t mind, could you add my WhatsApp with a secondary account?"

Isla Astir was stunned.

She hadn’t expected Mandel Thompson to say such a thing.

Understanding Poppy Smith, she would definitely hang up straight away and curse Mandel Thompson for being a scumbag.

But then.

The next second, Isla Astir was flabbergasted.

Because on the other end of the phone, Poppy Smith’s tone was sweet as she said, "Mr. Thompson, in front of Isla, you talk about how much you love her, and now you’re saying you’re attracted to me, how am I to know which words are true and which are false?"

"Of course, the ones I’m saying now are true."

Poppy Smith continued, "Alright, then I’ll add you later."

Mandel Thompson then asked, "I don’t like to beat around the bush, what’s your impression of me, Miss Smith?"

"Very good."

Hearing this, Isla Astir’s expression subtly changed.

A moment later, Mandel Thompson found an excuse to hang up the call, he turned to look at Isla Astir, "Miss Astir, with your intelligence, you should’ve guessed it when Poppy Smith offered to take you home first."

Isla Astir furrowed her brows slightly, and just then, Mandel Thompson’s WhatsApp received a friend request message.

Seeing Isla Astir remained silent, Mandel Thompson reached out to ruffle her hair, comforting her, "Everyone has times when they take the wrong path and are deceived by unworthy people, don’t worry, you have me from now on. With me here, no one will deceive you."

Isla Astir’s face looked tremendously let down, "I just didn’t expect Poppy Smith would do that."

Poppy Smith was one of her few close friends.

They used to share everything, which is why she wanted to introduce her boyfriend to Poppy Smith.

But she hadn’t expected...

That Poppy Smith could do such a thing.

Stories of best friends becoming the third party in a friend’s relationship were something she had only read about in the news, never did she imagine it would happen to her in reality.

It made Isla Astir feel quite upset.

"Do you feel like crying now?" Mandel Thompson asked then.

"Yes," Isla Astir nodded her head.

Mandel Thompson smiled, "There, there, don’t cry. She’s not worth your tears."

A moment later, Mandel Thompson said, "You don’t have to confront her directly, just know what kind of person she is and minimize contact in the future."

Never let yourself be ill-treated.

Isla Astir took a deep breath, "I understand the logic, but I just can’t swallow this insult."

Mandel Thompson smiled, "This is just a little obstacle on your path to becoming Mrs. Thompson. Likewise, I also face many hurdles. It’s okay to meet obstacles, we’ll face them together!"

Isla Astir nodded, "Okay."

A moment later, Isla Astir looked at Mandel Thompson and said, "Boss Thompson, you really are different from others."

If it were another man, it would probably be hard to verify things on the spot, wouldn’t it!

That’s probably why there are so many people’s husbands who end up with their friends.

Mandel Thompson smiled, "Seeing as how that’s the case, shouldn’t Miss Astir consider giving me a little reward?"

"What kind of reward do you want?" Isla Astir asked.

Mandel Thompson boasted with a smile, "How about making our relationship public right away."

"That’s not possible," Isla Astir continued, "Aside from that?"

"Let’s register our marriage immediately," Mandel Thompson said.

Isla Astir: "..."

"Can’t you say something serious?" Isla Astir smiled helplessly.

Seeing Isla Astir’s smile, Mandel Thompson also breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "I think I’m being quite serious. It’s Miss Astir, however, who wanted to instigate a shotgun wedding on our first day as a couple."

Right now, Isla Astir felt like finding a cloth to gag Mandel Thompson’s mouth.

This man truly could say anything.

A moment later, Isla Astir said, "I’m going back now."

Mandel Thompson nodded slightly, "Let’s watch a movie together tomorrow night."

"Okay."

After Isla Astir’s figure disappeared ahead, Mandel Thompson drove away.

In the Linta Tribe of Frica.

Nathaniel Besian looked at Viola Thompson and reported, "Master, you were right, the people who ambushed and attacked us were indeed J."

Viola Thompson narrowed her eyes.

A moment later, she looked at Nathaniel Besian, "Go tell J, famous people don’t act in secret. I want a one-on-one fight with him."

Her issue with J must be resolved immediately.

A one-on-one fight?

Nathaniel Besian appeared surprised, "Master, are you serious?"
