Chapter 1992: 563: Regret

William Astir, just like Olivia Armstrong, was incredibly pleased with Mandel Thompson. Correct content is on

A young man with a distinguished family background, reputable character, and good looks, a son-in-law like that is truly hard to find even with a lantern.

Although they also couldn’t bear to let their daughter get married.

But it’s not possible for the young lady to live with them forever.

Sooner or later, she has to get married.

Meeting the right person at the right age is the happiest thing in this world.

What’s more, Mandel Thompson is so outstanding.

Not to say that he’s one in a thousand.

He’s one in ten thousand.

So, when hearing that Isla Astir’s boyfriend was Mandel Thompson, William Astir was extremely excited and continued, "Is it really Mr. Thompson? Isla, you’re not lying to Dad, are you?"

Isla Astir replied, "I’m not lying to you, it’s true."

Olivia Armstrong couldn’t help but tease, "Look at you, William, acting all worthless!"

William Astir looked at Olivia Armstrong, "As long as you’re worth something, that’s all that matters."

Olivia Armstrong gave him a look, "Isla just said little Thompson is going to visit our house, asking when you’d be free?"

"Of course, I’m free anytime!" As he said this, William Astir seemed to remember something, then added, "Ah, not right, let me check the calendar, we should pick a good day."

It’s the new son-in-law’s first visit after all; it can’t be treated carelessly.

Isla Astir said with a smile, "Dad, aren’t you overdoing it a bit? It’s not a big deal, what’s there to look at a calendar for?"

"How is this not a big deal? It’s our family’s top priority!" Saying this, William Astir went to get the calendar.

William Astir flipping through the calendar, soon said, "The day after tomorrow is not bad at all, the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar is suitable for all activities. Isla, tell Mr. Thompson to come over the day after tomorrow."

Isla Astir nodded, "Then I’ll ask him tonight if he’s free the day after tomorrow."

"Ask him now." William Astir was already getting impatient.

Isla Astir said with a smile, "He’s driving right now."

Upon hearing this, William Astir quickly said, "Then don’t ask now, wait until he’s home."

He’s driving at the moment; what if he has an accident while replying to Isla Astir’s WhatsApp messages?

Olivia Armstrong suddenly noticed that of the two little cream puppies, now there was only one left, and she immediately asked, "William, where’s Nino?"

"Isn’t he right beside me?"

Olivia Armstrong was speechless, "Look where he is!"

William Astir looked down.

There was no sign of Nino in the air!

Only Lucky was eagerly looking at him.

"Nino! Nino!" William Astir became anxious and immediately turned around to look for Nino, "This is strange, Nino was clearly right by my side just now!"

Olivia Armstrong and Isla Astir also went out to look for Nino.

"Nino!"

In Capital City’s winter, the temperature outside is nearly minus thirty degrees, and since winter began, William Astir has only been walking the dogs for about ten minutes each time.

After several minutes of searching, the family of three hadn’t seen Nino.

A neighbor passed by, curiously asking, "What are you guys looking for?"

Olivia Armstrong replied, "We’re looking for our little dog Nino. Mrs. Riverside, have you seen Nino?"

Mrs. Riverside was a native of Capital City.

She was somewhat unused to Olivia Armstrong’s overly familiar behavior.

Others calling her Mrs. Riverside was acceptable.

But not Olivia Armstrong.

Clearly, Olivia’s calling her Mrs. Riverside was an attempt to establish a familial relationship.

Olivia’s family came from a small place, and Mrs. Riverside did not have such relatives.

It would be embarrassing to admit it.

People from Capital City should make friends and become relatives with other people from Capital City. free\NovelFire.c o(m)

Mrs. Riverside said with a smile, "I haven’t seen your Nino, Mrs. Armstrong. When other people call me Mrs. Riverside, it’s because my generational rank is higher than theirs. If you also call me Mrs. Riverside, wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you in terms of seniority? Later on, you can just call me Jack’s Mom."

Olivia Armstrong didn’t think so much; she didn’t intend to establish kinship with Mrs. Riverside, who was straightforward, just like how people from the countryside are.

Is it a big deal to call you Mrs. Riverside?

Not a big problem.

Olivia Armstrong didn’t mind letting Mrs. Riverside gain some advantage in terms of seniority.

After all, Mrs. Riverside was indeed older than her by some years.

But Isla Astir immediately picked up on the other meaning of Mrs. Riverside’s words and said with a smile, "You are right, Mrs. Riverside, my mom has noted that."

With that, Isla Astir took Olivia Armstrong’s hand, "Mom, let’s look over there."

Even though Olivia Armstrong was slow on the uptake, she too sensed something was amiss at this moment, and looking at Isla Astir, she muttered, "Isla, what did Mrs. Riverside mean just now?"

Isla Astir continued, "Mom, Mrs. Riverside doesn’t want us to try to become relatives with her, so when you see her later, don’t be so enthusiastic, just call her Jack’s Mom."
