Chapter 1849: 444: Duke of Country U, Exorbitantly Priced Conch Pearl_3

William Astir laughed and said, "Isn’t this normal? Isla is only twenty-one years old this year. Do you expect her to dress up like an old lady every day for it to be normal?"

Young girls in their early twenties all love to dress up.

"It’s not that, it’s just that our Isla never used to care about dressing up," Olivia Armstrong continued, "Do you think she might be in a relationship?"

William Astir was quite helpless, "You women always make such a fuss. People change over time, maybe Isla just likes to dress up now. Besides, she’s in college, it’s normal for her to be dating! Our Isla is so smart, she definitely won’t be taken advantage of by a man. Just stop worrying so much!"

When children grow up, as parents, we should give them enough space rather than meddling in everything.

It’s annoying.

Although William Astir was uneducated and not very cultured, he understood this principle.

As parents, one should indeed act like parents.

Naturally, Olivia Armstrong understood this principle too, "Look at how you talk, I’m not trying to control Isla or anything! I’m just a bit curious!"

"Curious about what?" William Astir asked.

Olivia Armstrong continued, "Curious about what the guy looks like, whether he has good character, and if he might mistreat our Isla."

They have only one child, Isla Astir.

Naturally, they dote on her very much.

Hearing this, William Astir immediately picked up the vase next to him, stood up angrily, and said, "If someone dares to mistreat Isla, I’ll go and fight them to the death!"

Who dares to bully his daughter!

Olivia Armstrong was speechless, "Put down that vase! I was just saying it casually! Look at you!"

Looking like he was ready to fight, it was quite frightening.

William Astir put down the vase and then said, "Don’t worry, with me around, no one dares to bully Isla."

Olivia Armstrong narrowed her eyes; she was still a bit curious.

But since her husband couldn’t understand her feelings, she could only go and share them with her close girlfriends in the neighborhood.

Seeing Olivia Armstrong about to leave, William Astir immediately called out to her, "Isla’s mom, where are you going?"

Olivia Armstrong replied, "I’m going out for a walk, and I’ll chat with Sister Shunzi for a while."

William Astir scratched his head, seemingly having something to say, touched his head, and then said, "That, Isla’s mom, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"What?" Olivia Armstrong asked.

Before William Astir could speak, Olivia Armstrong seemed to think of something, "No talk of getting a dog."

William Astir: "..." What was he supposed to say now!

He just wanted to get a dog!

Wanted to get a little Corgi.

Olivia Armstrong put on her scarf and hat, "I’m going now."

William Astir followed Olivia Armstrong outside, cautiously asked, "Can’t I really get a little Corgi?"

"What’s a little Corgi?" Olivia Armstrong slightly frowned.

William Astir continued, "It’s a very cute little dog with really short legs!"

"Get lost!" Olivia Armstrong gave him a disdainful look.

William Astir: "..."

He felt so sad.

A moment later, it seemed William Astir thought of something and then said, "My birthday is coming up soon, can’t you give me a little Corgi as a birthday gift?"

"Get lost!" Olivia Armstrong launched a second attack.

William Astir: He wanted to hug the poor and helpless little one.

Watching Olivia Armstrong’s retreating figure, William Astir dared not say anything more.

Soon after, Isla Astir returned from outside.

Seeing Isla Astir back, William Astir smiled and said, "Isla, your mom went out, what would you like to eat? Dad will cook for you."

Isla Astir changed her shoes, "Dad, I need to go out again, I won’t be home for dinner tonight."

"Okay."

Watching his daughter’s busy back, his reaction suddenly reminded him of Olivia Armstrong’s words.

Could it be...

Isla Astir was really dating?

William Astir followed Isla Astir to the door, "Isla, be careful tonight, and if there’s anything, you can call Dad anytime."

"Okay, Dad." Isla Astir nodded her head, smiled, and said, "Bye, Dad."

"Goodbye."

Isla Astir wasn’t going out on a date tonight.

She was going to talk about a collaboration with an editor.

Her car reached an intersection.

Bang!

Suddenly, her car was rear-ended.

It was a fender bender.

Isla Astir frowned imperceptibly, she pulled open the car door, just about to get out and check the situation when a middle-aged man came up from the car behind, apologetically said, "I’m really sorry, young lady. There was an electric bike crossing the road just now, I swerved to avoid it and accidentally hit your car."
