Mary Perryne placed the elegant gift box on the table. “Perfect, I can give this to Mrs. Miyamoto.”
Viola Thompson asked curiously, “What is it?”
Mary replied, “Some Suzhou embroidery crafts. Mrs. Miyamoto is quite fond of these.”
Because of historical reasons, Mary didn't particularly like people from Jaban Country.
But Mrs. Miyamoto was an exception.
First, Mrs. Miyamoto had renounced her Sinian citizenship years ago.
Second, Mrs. Miyamoto had made many contributions to Sinian Country over the years.
For these reasons, Mrs. Miyamoto was relatively popular among the circle of ladies-of-leisure.
“Alright.” Viola nodded slightly.
Mary sat by the bed and lowered her voice, “Viola, I need to ask you something.”
“What is it?” Viola asked.
Mary continued, “Has your eldest brother been dating someone recently?”
Viola was taken aback at first, then asked, “Why do you suddenly ask this?”
Mary squinted slightly, “I feel he's been acting strange lately, especially at meal times. He hardly ever looks at his phone while eating, but lately, he not only checks his phone at meals but sometimes laughs at the screen. It's like…”
Pausing here, Mary continued, “It's like how you act when you chat with Lukas, laughing like a fool.”
If this were about Samuel Thompson, Mary wouldn't find it strange at all.
After all, Samuel often does this kind of thing!
But for Mandel Thompson!
Mandel is always calm and composed, and he would never behave this way.
Viola: “…” Thanks, she certainly felt implied.
“Don't you think your eldest brother is acting strange?” Mary promptly asked.
Viola looked back slightly, her tone gentle, “Now that you mention it, it does sound weird. But I haven't really noticed. Mum, Borden is already 32 this year, having a girlfriend is pretty normal.”
“I just wonder who his girlfriend might be. Do you think it could be Bella?” Mary speculated.
“Probably not.” Viola shook her head.
If it were truly Bella Windham, given the bitch's personality, she probably would have run to her face long ago, smugly demanding to be called 'sister'.
After all, for the bitch, the more she could take advantage of Viola, the better.
Mary was just too curious, “Then who could it be?”
“I'm not sure.”
However, a girl who could win Mandel's heart certainly wouldn't be ordinary.
Mary continued, “Viola, your brother dotes on you the most. Can you discreetly ask him?”
Viola looked at Mary and smiled, “Mum, don't be so impatient. What's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true. Don't rush it. If Borden truly has a girlfriend, he'll inevitably bring her home for us to see.”
Not rushing?
How could Mary possibly not rush?
If they don't hurry, Mandel would be almost forty!
Pausing here, Viola continued, “Moreover, you can't rush this kind of thing. It's better to let nature take its course. By the way, Mum, do you have any requirements for your future daughter-in-law? Such as matching in social status.”
“No, not at all,” Mary immediately shook her head, “I have just one request right now.”
“What is it?” Viola asked.
Mary replied, “As long as she's a woman.”
Continuing, Mary said, “You have no idea how scary it can be nowadays. Just the other day, your Uncle Bruce's son brought back a boyfriend. I heard they've even gotten a marriage license abroad!”
Although Mary didn't dislike such people, if her own son were like that, she would certainly be very upset.
Being a mother, she naturally hopes to hold a grandchild and enjoy family bliss sooner rather than later.
At these words, Viola chuckled, “Mum, you don't need to worry. Borden's sexual orientation should be normal. In other words, even if he wasn't, so what? I think, as a mother, what you want most is for your child to find happiness. As long as he's happy, nothing else really matters. Love knows no age or gender.”
Upon hearing this, Mary widened her eyes, “Your eldest brother doesn't actually prefer men, does he?”
“No, no,” Viola quickly clarified, “I was just using that as an example.”
Mary breathed a sigh of relief, “As long as it's not.”
Viola smiled and said, “Mum, all you need to do now is be patient and wait for good news from Borden.”
“Hmm.” Mary nodded and then said, “Viola, if you find out anything, remember to tell me first.”
“Sure.”
Viola planned to meet Mrs. Miyamoto at one in the afternoon.
At twelve o'clock, she departed from home.
Just as she was leaving, Mandel was about to head out as well. He looked at Viola, “Where are you off to, Viola? I can drop you.”
