/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1526
Chapter 1526: 379: Let go to capture! _3 Chapter 1526: 379: Let go to capture! _3 Thinking about this, Mrs. Astir was overjoyed!
Who doesn't want their daughter to be pursued by a high-quality man?
“No, you misunderstand.”
“Then what is it?” Mrs. Astir asked.
The purpose of a man being kind to a woman with whom he has no ties is simple.
Firstly, he wants to pursue her; secondly, he wants to marry her.
Isla Astir sat on the edge of the bed, her tone indifferent: “Actually, there's something else I haven't told you.”
“What?” Mrs. Astir was surprised: “Is it that you and Mr. Thompson were former boyfriend and girlfriend?”
Mrs. Astir even imagined a romantic idol drama scene.
“No, you listen to me.”
Isla Astir collected her thoughts and spoke, “Mom, do you remember the female general who shook Capital City last year?”
“You mean Sally Bennett?” Mrs. Astir asked.
Though she hadn't read much, she knew her history and knew that Sally Bennett was a great female general.
Highly meritorious, defending the home and the country.
Isla Astir nodded, “That female general is Brother Thompson's grandmother. A year ago, Mrs. Thompson went to the temple to pray for Miss Thompson and unfortunately fainted in the snow. I was the one who found her and called 120 to take her to the hospital. Because of this, Brother Thompson considered me to be Mrs. Thompson's savior and that's what led to all of the following events.”
Isla Astir never thought of herself as Mrs. Thompson's savior.
She just did a small act of kindness.
So, she never mentioned this incident to her family.
Hearing this, Mrs. Astir's eyes widened, “So the good Samaritan mentioned in the TV news was you?”
Mrs. Astir never would have thought that her daughter would one day become the central figure in the news.
The feeling was quite unexpected.
“Yes.” Isla Astir nodded.
Mrs. Astir smilingly said: “Isla, you have done a truly great and virtuous deed! This Mrs. Thompson is a national protector female general. Without their generation, we wouldn't have our today. So, I must thank Mr. Thompson even more and really, we should not have let Mr. Thompson use his connections to find a VIP ward for your father.”
Isla Astir continued: “So mom, there is nothing between Brother Thompson and me, don't think too much.”
“I understand, I understand,” Mrs. Astir laughed, “We simply cannot rise to their level.”
Having said that, Mrs. Astir seemed to remember something and continued: “But Isla, if Mr. Thompson actively pursues you, you can consider it, but we must never make the first move, otherwise people will think you had ulterior motives for saving Mrs Thompson.”
Active pursuit and reverse chasing are not the same.
Mrs. Astir is a conservative person, she does not approve of girls chasing after men.
Even if that man has seemingly perfect material and surface conditions, you cannot pursue him.
Especially one like Mandel Thompson.
“Okay, I understand.” Isla Astir nodded.
She has never had any ulterior thoughts about Mandel Thompson.
With that said, Isla Astir continued: “Oh, Mom, don't tell this to my cousin.”
She was referring to the matter of her saving Mrs Thompson.
Mrs. Astir is not a naive person, she naturally knows that her own niece loves to climb up the social ladder, she nodded and said: “I understand.”
Isla Astir breathed a sigh of relief, “Mom, I'm going to my room now.”
“Okay, go to sleep early tonight.” Mrs. Astir reminded her.
Isla Astir nodded, then turned and left.
When Isla Astir returned to the bedroom, Eva Webster was already lying on the bed. Eva had been sleeping on the large bed for several days, while Isla, the owner of the room, had been sleeping on a single bed that was less than a meter wide. Eva not only did not feel guilty about this, but also felt it was right and proper.
She was a guest.
A guest should, of course, get the best.
“Isla.” Eva Webster was lying on the bed eating skewers.
Isla Astir had mild cleanliness obsession and found it hard to tolerate others eating on her bed, but she felt it awkward to directly address it, so she smiled and replied, “What is it, second cousin?”
“What's your income like this year?” Eva Webster asked.
“Average.” Isla Astir answered.
Eva Webster frowned a little, “How much is average?”
Isla Astir continued: “It's about the same as last year.”
In fact, it was at least ten times better than last year.
After all, she was an absolute 'Boss' on the website with a number of works adapted into film and television dramas.
Isla Astir of today was totally not in need of money.
She was even planning to buy a small villa.
However, she had not told any of these plans to anyone.
She wanted to give her parents a surprise.
Hearing this, Eva Webster's face was full of contempt.
