Chapter 1986: 562: Won’t Lose_5

She deliberately arrived five minutes early, but Mandel Thompson had already been waiting.

Mandel Thompson said with a smile, "Isn’t that a bit too excited? By the way, do your uncle and aunt know you’re going to meet the parents with me today?"

"I haven’t told them yet," Isla Astir continued, "when you come to my house later, just give them a surprise."

"Are you sure it’s not a fright?" Mandel Thompson asked.

Isla Astir turned to look at Mandel Thompson, "Actually, my parents have a pretty good impression of you."

Especially after Mandel Thompson rescued Eva Webster from the Golden Triangle.

If her parents knew that her boyfriend was Mandel Thompson, they would probably be very relieved.

"I’m somewhat flattered!" said Mandel Thompson.

Having said that, Mandel Thompson continued, "Also, Miss Astir, you don’t need to be nervous, my parents are very easygoing."

"What about your other family members?" Isla Astir asked.

Mandel Thompson said, "You’ve met my sister. As for those two brothers, don’t worry, with me here, they wouldn’t dare to trouble you, their sister-in-law." NovelFire

This term made Isla Astir’s cheeks flush.

She fell silent.

The carriage grew somewhat quiet.

Mandel Thompson teasingly said, "Why isn’t Miss Astir speaking? Aren’t you usually quite talkative?"

"What should I say?" Just then, Isla Astir followed up, "By the way, is there anything I should pay attention to for my first visit to your house?"

Truth be told.

She was a bit nervous.

Mandel Thompson shook his head, "No need for that, just be yourself."

Before long, they arrived at the Thompson Family Manor.

Although Isla Astir had heard about the Thompson Clan’s strong influence in Capital City, she was still shocked the moment she stepped into the Thompson Family Manor.

This scene couldn’t just be described with a few words.

At that moment, Mary Perryne had already spotted the two people walking this way, "Viola, look, isn’t that your big brother, and who is that girl next to him? Why does she look a bit unclear?"

Viola Thompson narrowed her eyes slightly, "It seems like Miss Astir."

"Really?" Mary Perryne was somewhat surprised.

Viola Thompson nodded, "It looks a bit like her."

Seeing the mother and daughter like this, Sawyer Thompson curiously said, "Who is this Miss Astir? Do you two know her?"

Mary Perryne smiled and nodded, "Of course we know her. It’s also a kind of fate, Miss Astir is the kind-hearted person who took mom to the hospital that day."

Sawyer Thompson was taken aback.

"Really?"

"Of course it’s true," Mary Perryne instructed, "but you must not mention this to Miss Astir later, I don’t want her to misunderstand and think we only agreed to her and Brandon’s affair because she saved our mom."

"Got it," Sawyer Thompson nodded.

It wasn’t long before the two approached.

Mary Perryne was both shocked and delighted; Mandel Thompson’s girlfriend really was Isla Astir. She immediately walked over with a smile, pretending not to know Isla Astir, "Brandon, aren’t you going to introduce us?"

Mandel Thompson followed, "This is my girlfriend Isla Astir. Mom, you can call her Isla. Isla, this is my mom."

"Hello, auntie."

Mandel Thompson continued, "This is my dad."

"Hello, uncle."

"And these are my second younger brother Samuel Thompson and my youngest brother Edward Thompson, you’ve already met my little sister."

Before Isla Astir could speak, Samuel Thompson and Edward Thompson greeted her with a smile, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hello, everyone."

Viola Thompson took Isla Astir’s hand proactively, "Sister Isla, I just knew my brother’s girlfriend would be you."

Isla Astir was taken aback, "Miss Thompson, how did you know?"

"I saw you holding hands last time," Viola Thompson replied.

Isla Astir was a bit embarrassed, and Viola Thompson continued, "Sister Isla, don’t be nervous, let my brother take you around our house."

After saying this, Viola Thompson pushed Isla Astir’s hand into Mandel Thompson’s, "Big brother, you can take sister Isla to see your bedroom."

"Alright."

Mary Perryne asked with a smile, "What fruits does Isla like? I can have someone send some up."

Mandel Thompson said, "Mom, just have Nanny White prepare some strawberries, cherries, and jabuticaba. Oh right, we have coconuts at home, too. Grab a couple of coconuts."

Isla Astir did prefer fruits.

"Okay."

Mary Perryne nodded.

Isla Astir tugged at Mandel Thompson’s hand, lowering her voice, "Isn’t that too much trouble? I can do without fruits."

"It’s no trouble; my mom is more than happy to prepare fruits for you!"

With that, Mandel Thompson took Isla Astir’s hand and headed upstairs, turning to his parents, "Dad, mom, I’ll first take Isla around."

Mary Perryne nodded with a look of satisfaction in her eyes, "Go ahead, I’ll have the fruits sent up right away."

No sooner had the two gone upstairs than Mrs. Summer arrived, "Brandon’s mom."

"Jean’s mom," Mary Perryne greeted with a smile.

Mrs. Summer looked around the house, then said, "Wasn’t it said that Brandon would bring his girlfriend home today? Where is she?"

She wanted to see if Jean Beckman would really lose out.
