Chapter 1990: 562: Two Faces_4

Isla Astir mentally applauds Mary Perryne in her heart.

Her future mother-in-law is simply too impressive!

Mandel Thompson nods, "Mom, Aunt Summer, I will remember your teachings. I will never let Isla down in my lifetime."

Mrs. Summer sighs in her heart.

It seems Jean Beckman truly has no hope left.

In a happy and harmonious family, what is an outsider like me supposed to do?

Mrs. Summer stands up from the sofa and says with a smile, "Brandon’s mom, I have something to attend to, so I must go. Brandon, when you have time, remember to bring Isla to visit Auntie’s house."

"Of course, Aunt Summer," Mandel Thompson nods slightly.

Mrs. Summer turns and leaves.

The moment Mrs. Summer’s figure disappears outside, Mary Perryne speaks with some dissatisfaction: "Your Aunt Summer is really getting more muddled each month! She says whatever comes to mind!"

After finishing, Mary Perryne looks towards Isla Astir, continuing, "Isla, don’t take her words to heart."

"Okay, Auntie," Isla Astir nods slightly.

Mrs. Summer returns home.

Jean Beckman is feeding the koi by the pond in the backyard.

Seeing her mother come over, Jean Beckman continues, "Mom’s back."

Mrs. Summer nods, "I’ve seen Brandon’s girlfriend."

Upon saying this, Mrs. Summer adds, "Jean, you might capsize in the gutter this time."

Hearing this, Jean Beckman raises an eyebrow slightly, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Summer explains, "Your Uncle Thompson and Aunt Thompson both like Brandon’s girlfriend very much. From the looks of it, they probably consider that girl as the future prospective daughter-in-law."

Otherwise, Mary Perryne and Mandel Thompson wouldn’t be so protective of Isla Astir.

Jean Beckman narrows her eyes, "You’ve seen Isla Astir?"

"I have," Mrs. Summer continues, "She’s a very exceptional girl."

Even though Mrs. Summer doesn’t want to admit it, that’s the truth.

Jean Beckman sneers, eyes full of irony.

Exceptional?

What’s so exceptional about Isla Astir? NovelFire

A person without family background, education, or social status.

If he weren’t putting on a show for her, Mandel Thompson wouldn’t bother with this kind of person.

Jean Beckman continues, "It’s all just an act that Mandel Thompson and that woman are putting on, and you’re taking it seriously?"

Mrs. Summer shakes her head, "But it doesn’t seem like they are pretending."

Mandel Thompson wouldn’t go to such lengths for Jean Beckman.

It’s unrealistic and unlike the Thompson Family to do such a thing.

If it was only Mandel Thompson, that would be one thing.

Is the entire Thompson Family performing an act to support Mandel Thompson? NovelFire

That’s just impossible!

Jean Beckman says with a smile, "If they weren’t acting, then why did you show up at the Thompson Clan today?"

The fact that her mother appeared at the Thompson Clan suggests that all of this was within the Thompson Family’s calculations.

Actually, Jean Beckman can tell that Mary Perryne likes her very much, and she is eager to become the Mistress of the Thompson family, the future matriarch.

After all, Mary Perryne watched her grow up.

Mary Perryne knows that she is capable of taking on the responsibility.

As for Isla Astir...

What’s she worth?

Mrs. Summer says, "Jean, what I mean is, if Brandon still has you in his heart, you should go now and make it clear to him. Get him to dump that Miss Han quickly to avoid any messy entanglements later, then it’ll be too late for regrets."

Mrs. Summer can only repeat these few words over and over, and Jean Beckman is fed up, "Mom, I’ve said I know what I’m doing, I know. Why do you keep nagging? It’s not tiring for you, but I’m tired of listening. If you have time, you should do something more meaningful!"

Always wasting time, how did she end up with such a mother?

It’s just bad luck.

Mrs. Summer is somewhat angry, especially after seeing Viola Thompson.

Viola Thompson is so formidable, a big shot known internationally, and yet even such a figure never talks back to Mary Perryne and always acts like a child in front of her.

But what about Jean Beckman?

She means well for Jean Beckman, yet Jean sees her as meddling.

Truly, comparing people can be maddening.

Mrs. Summer frowns slightly, "Jean, are you already finding mom annoying? People say with age comes chattiness, trees grow more roots as they get old, can’t you just be a little tolerant of mom?"

Jean Beckman rolls her eyes with a hint of speechlessness, "To be self-aware is important. Knowing you talk too much, can’t you just speak less? Must you be so bothersome?"

Mrs. Summer says no more, but her thoughts of having a second child grow ever clearer.
