Chapter 1998: 564: Agreed on a wedding date_2

Isla Astir looked helpless.

Mandel Thompson raised a smile again, continuing, "Do you know who my girlfriend is?"

"I know, your girlfriend is Isla Astir!"

"She also has another name, Miss Astir."

"Let me tell you a secret!" Mandel Thompson said.

"Go ahead." Isla Astir responded.

Mandel Thompson said mysteriously, "Now I don’t feel like saying it anymore!"

Having said that, Mandel Thompson continued to laugh heartily, "You look like an idiot!"

Isla Astir: "..."

After finally helping Mandel Thompson to the bed, he started clamoring for water again.

Isla Astir went to pour water for Mandel Thompson with a glass in hand.

Just as she walked into the living room, she saw Olivia Armstrong also pouring water.

Isla Astir asked concernedly, "Mom, how is Dad doing?"

Olivia Armstrong said helplessly, "You know exactly what your father is like when he’s drunk! He’s still bragging over there!"

Thankfully, there were no outsiders present.

"What about Thompson? How is he?"

Isla Astir said, "After drinking, he’s a bit silly, but there’s no other reaction."

Upon hearing this, Olivia Armstrong whispered, "That Thompson, when he’s drunk, he doesn’t get crazy and hit people, right?"

If he were to go berserk and hit people when drunk, he would not be suitable for Isla Astir!

So many people have made grave mistakes while in a drunken rage.

Olivia Armstrong couldn’t stand people who got violent when they were drunk.

Isla Astir smiled slightly and then said, "Don’t worry, he doesn’t go into a rage, nor does he hit anyone."

Olivia Armstrong sighed in relief.

Good, as long as he doesn’t hit people.

A moment later, Olivia Armstrong said, "I’ve made some sober-up soup, take some and give it to Thompson to drink."

"Okay." Isla Astir nodded slightly.

She went to the kitchen, got some sober-up soup, and walked to the bedroom.

At this time, Mandel Thompson had already fallen asleep on the bed.

"Brandon? Brandon!"

Isla Astir sat by the bed, reaching out to push Mandel Thompson.

Mandel Thompson slowly opened his eyes.

Isla Astir handed him the straw, "Drink some water."

Perhaps he really was thirsty; Mandel Thompson immediately bit the straw and began to drink, swiftly finishing the bowl of sober-up soup.

After drinking, Mandel Thompson went back to sleep.

Isla Astir carried the bowl and walked out.

By this time, William Astir was already sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Isla Astir come out, William Astir turned his head to look at her and asked with a smile, "Thompson hasn’t sobered up yet?"

Isla Astir shook her head, "He’s asleep now."

William Astir said with a laugh, "Young people these days can’t hold their liquor! He drank less than two jin."

Hearing this, Isla Astir was speechless, "Dad, you have the nerve to say that! There were only two bottles of alcohol, and you only drank two cups." The rest was drunk by Mandel Thompson.

In other words, Mandel Thompson drunk at least one and a half jin of alcohol.

Although Mandel Thompson often had to deal with various drinking sessions, his tolerance wasn’t very good to begin with, and drinking so much in one go would naturally be a bit too much for him.

William Astir said with a laugh, "If I hadn’t insisted he drink, how could I test his character?"

Isla Astir looked at William Astir, "So have you figured it out now?"

William Astir nodded, "Isla, cherish Thompson, honest kids like him are rare!"

The gap between the Thompson and Astir families was simply too great, so William Astir wanted to make sure Mandel Thompson wasn’t putting on an act, which is why he kept pouring drinks and bombarding him with questions.

Mandel Thompson had answered almost every question William Astir wanted to know.

One’s behavior when drinking can reveal their true character.

After this session of drinking, William Astir could rest assured and entrust his precious daughter to Mandel Thompson.

Isla Astir was speechless, laughing, "Just after one drinking session, and he’s already like your own son?"

William Astir looked seriously at Isla Astir, "This is something between us men, you wouldn’t understand."

Isla Astir: "..."

Olivia Armstrong came over, looking worried, "Isla, why don’t you go back to your room and check on Thompson? He drank so much, it won’t cause alcohol poisoning, right?"

After finishing her sentence, Olivia Armstrong looked at William Astir and started to complain, "What were you thinking, letting the kid drink so much? He’s an honest one; when your dad tells him to drink, he drinks! He really didn’t try to weasel out of it at all!"

With that remark, William Astir also got a bit nervous and said immediately, "Isla, go check on Thompson quickly, and ask him if he feels unwell anywhere."

Isla Astir nodded and turned to walk back into the bedroom.

Mandel Thompson was still sleeping, looking fine. Isla Astir stayed by the computer desk beside the bed, starting to update her comics, in case he got thirsty again later.
