Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
Chapter 1995 - 563: Regret_4

Chapter 1995: 563: Regret_4

She has two sons in total. The elder son is already married, while the younger son currently doesn’t have a girlfriend.

The younger son is twenty-nine this year, an age that matches well with Isla Astir.

Previously, some people tried to set up Mrs. Laker’s younger son with Isla Astir, but at that time, Mrs. Laker disdained the fact that Isla’s family was from a small town.

People from small towns aren’t usually seen as very presentable.

She outright refused!

Who would have thought, Isla turned out to be a hidden gem.

Ding dong!

At that moment, the elevator arrived.

Price walked into the elevator, while Mrs. Laker was still dazed and standing still.

"Mrs. Laker, what are you standing around for? Come on in!"

Only then did Mrs. Laker react, and she immediately walked into the elevator.

Mrs. Laker pressed the floor button and then said, "I didn’t expect Isla to be so successful! You really can’t tell just by looking!"

Price laughed and said, "At first, I couldn’t tell either. But after Mr. Astir mentioned it, I paid more attention. Look, everything Mr. and Mrs. Astir usually wear and use are top quality. Did you see Mr. Astir’s watch? It’s worth over three hundred thousand!"

This type of watch isn’t something just any family can afford.

At that point, Price lowered his voice and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Astir don’t have a son, if someone’s son marries Isla, in the future everything from the Astir family would be his!"

Ms. Laker nodded, her heart already bleeding.

Although they are genuine locals and have gone through relocation, because their original homestead was too small, they only got two small apartments. Currently, the elder son is married and living in one of those apartments.

The younger son is still unmarried and lives with them.

But what if the younger son gets married?

Then they, the old couple, would have to move out and rent a place to live.

But if the younger son could be with Isla Astir, not only would they not need to rent a place, they could also gain a villa!

By then, the first floor of the Astir family’s home would certainly be theirs too!

Given that Isla is so good at earning money, an apartment wouldn’t mean much to her, and it just so happens that the house where the elder son lives is also not enough for them.

The more Mrs. Laker thought about it, the more she regretted it, to the point where she didn’t even notice when the elevator door opened, until Price reminded her, "Mrs. Laker, you’ve arrived!"

Only then did Mrs. Laker come back to her senses, smiling and saying, "Price, I’ll head back first."

"Go on, go on." After saying this, Price scratched his head.

What’s with Mrs. Laker today?

It’s like she’s lost her soul!

The Astir family.

After Isla Astir returned, William Astir immediately asked, "Did you just speak to Mr. Thompson? Is he free the day after tomorrow?"

Olivia Armstrong pretended not to care, but she was constantly listening to the conversation.

Isla Astir said, "He said he’s free the day after tomorrow."

William Astir laughed and said, "I knew Mr. Thompson was reliable. Visiting his future father-in-law, he’d definitely make time!"

A faint smile crossed Isla Astir’s lips.

Mandel Thompson indeed has a mesmerizing ability.

Isla Astir never considered herself lucky, but now, she felt she was the luckiest girl in the world.

Soon, Olivia Armstrong walked out of the room and looked at Isla, then asked, "Isla, what stage are you and Thompson at now? Has he mentioned marriage? Are you two aiming for that?"

Even though Mandel Thompson could be considered a highly eligible bachelor, and Isla Astir is also outstanding, there is still some gap when compared with Mandel Thompson.

Therefore, Olivia Armstrong is worried.

Worried that Isla Astir might be at a disadvantage.

Isla Astir said, "Mom, Mandel and I are definitely aiming for marriage. You can be assured, we are both very serious."

William Astir laughed and said, "Mr. Thompson is definitely not the playboy type, I trust him."

Olivia Armstrong rolled her eyes at him, then cautioned Isla, "Isla, even though our family’s circumstances aren’t as good as Thompson’s, we need to maintain our integrity. When you are with Thompson, don’t always spend his money. If he gives you a gift, remember to reciprocate."

Olivia Armstrong values Mandel Thompson’s character and appearance, not his family background.

In ordinary circles, Isla Astir is also an outstanding person. She doesn’t need to sacrifice her happiness to be with someone of good stature but who doesn’t love her.

"Okay, mom."

Olivia Armstrong continued, "Also, today was your first visit to Thompson’s home, how were his family towards you? How about his parents?"

Isla Astir said, "His family was very welcoming, and his parents are really nice, they liked me a lot. Oh, Aunt Thompson even gave me a small gift."
