Chapter 1860: 446: Shocking, the person who bought the conch pearl is Mr. Xianting! _4

Isla Astir was just an ordinary girl who also enjoyed the sweet nothings of romance, "Do you know what you look like right now?"

"What?" Mandel Thompson asked.

Isla Astir replied, "Like a domineering CEO from the comics."

Normally, only the female lead would get such treatment.

At this moment, Mandel Thompson replied, "Because you are my only female lead."

Lying on the couch, clutching her phone, Isla Astir couldn’t help but giggle.

So this was what being in love felt like.

No wonder people get love-struck.

Isla Astir felt that if this continued, she might become love-struck herself.

Unaware of how loudly she was laughing, Olivia Armstrong came from the kitchen and asked curiously, "Isla, what’s up with you?"

Hearing this, Isla Astir suddenly realized and quickly sat up from the couch, coughing, "Nothing, nothing, just saw a funny video."

A funny video?

Generally, Isla Astir watched funny videos with the volume up.

Why was it off today?

It definitely wasn’t a funny video.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Olivia Armstrong finally asked, "Isla, tell your mom, are you in love?"

"No." Isla Astir immediately denied.

"Really not?" Olivia continued.

Isla Astir shook her head seriously, "Really not. I’m so busy with work and I have to review for exams at school. When would I have time for dating? Plus, I barely know any guys!"

"But Mr. Thompson is a guy!" Olivia squinted her eyes, "It’s strange, Mr. Thompson hasn’t visited our house for quite a long time."

Just as Isla Astir picked up her cup to drink water, she almost spat it out at her mother’s words.

Her mom was really sharp!

Yet Isla Astir managed to stay calm and smiled, "Perhaps he’s been too busy recently!"

Olivia was about to say something else when the doorbell rang, and she turned to answer it.

The door opened.

It was Eva Webster.

"Auntie." Eva Webster greeted politely.

Looking at Eva Webster, Olivia voiced her puzzlement, "Eva, why have you come so late?"

Hearing this, Eva Webster frowned subtly.

What? Was she not welcome?

Even though she was her aunt?

After all, in this house, she was the only one related by blood to Olivia Armstrong.

She didn’t expect such an attitude from Olivia.

If it weren’t for Mandel Thompson, Eva Webster wouldn’t have come!

Despite feeling speechless, she still said with a smile, "Auntie, my place somehow started leaking today! I thought since my brother has a girlfriend now, it wouldn’t be convenient to stay there overnight, so I came here! You don’t mind, do you?"

"How could I! Of course, I welcome you!" Olivia responded. "You just mentioned your brother has a girlfriend? Is that true?"

Eva Webster nodded, "Of course it’s true! The girl is a classmate of his."

"What does she look like?" Olivia immediately asked, "Is the girl of good character? Where’s she from? A college classmate?"

Eva responded, "She’s just average looking, I don’t really know about her character, I haven’t interacted with her much. She is a college classmate, but I’m not sure where she’s from exactly."

She only knew Liam Webster was dating a university classmate.

She didn’t know the specifics.

Olivia nodded, "Come on in."

Eva Webster narrowed her eyes, noticing Isla Astir sitting on the couch, then said, "I guess Isla also has some good news coming? Is she dating someone?"

Olivia smiled, "She hardly knows any boys! Where would she date?"

Eva countered, "Mr. Thompson! She and Mr. Thompson are such a good match! Besides, didn’t Mr. Thompson used to visit the house often?"

She did it on purpose.

Because Mandel Thompson would never be with someone like Isla Astir.

He used to visit the Astir family for her sake.

Olivia continued, "Isla and that Mr. Thompson are just business partners. Ever since they settled their partnership last time, he hasn’t come over again."

Hearing this, Eva Webster’s eyes narrowed, a look of ’I knew it’ across her face.

Without her, Mandel Thompson would certainly not show up at the Astir family’s home.

Just wait!

Tomorrow morning, Mandel Thompson would definitely come to the Astir family’s home again under the pretext of discussing business.

Eva Webster’s sudden visit to the Astir family had a reason.

Her best friend worked at the Cloud Group.
