Chapter 1719: 417: It's simply ridiculous!_6 Chapter 1719: 417: It's simply ridiculous!_6 It's that Mr. Thompson.
Christina Armstrong had a deep impression of Mandel Thompson.
Isla Astir spoke a few words to Mandel Thompson and then came over to Christina Armstrong, “Cousin.”
“Isly,” Christina waved at her.
Isla Astir came over and hugged Christina Armstrong, smiling, “Cousin, long time no see.”
“Long time no see.”
Christina curiously asked, “Isly, was that your boyfriend just now?”
“No,” Isla Astir replied, “Just a friend.”
Just a friend?
Christina smiled, “Then he definitely likes you.”
“Don't just say things, Cousin,” Isla Astir looked at her, “My relationship with him is really platonic.”
Isla Astir had never thought about it deeply.
Christina narrowed her eyes, “I always feel like he looks at you in a strange way.”
It was very special.
A feeling Christina couldn't describe.
Isla Astir chuckled, “He's surrounded by beauties, Cousin, you must be mistaken.”
“Maybe.”
As they walked and talked, Christina continued, “Isly, I think my mom has changed a lot recently.”
“How so?”
Christina smiled happily, “She's become more like a mother.”
In the past, she never experienced motherly love.
But now,
she had.
Christina was not greedy, and that was enough to satisfy her.
Isla Astir frowned slightly, “Cousin, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but if something is off, there must be a reason. Also, I don't think auntie is someone who changes easily.”
Beatrice Black always prioritized benefits above all.
Moreover, she favored sons over daughters.
In Beatrice's heart, only George Armstrong was her true blood.
As for Christina,
she was expendable, just like spilled water.
Upon hearing this, Christina also felt something was wrong, and she shared last night's events with Isla Astir.
Christina continued, “You know the situation in my family, normally if my mom makes something delicious, she would hide it for George to eat, but last night I don't know what happened… The most important thing is, Beatrice Black wouldn't even let me work part-time anymore!”
Upon hearing this, Isla Astir narrowed her eyes, “Did auntie say anything to you?”
Christina shook her head.
Nothing.
Isla Astir still felt something was amiss and continued, “Cousin, if I were you, I would definitely choose to move out! You're independent now, why squeeze in with them?” Christina was already in her twenties, yet she still lacked personal space!
She was still living in the living room!
What was that?
Even more absurdly, Christina had to use her monthly earnings for George's living expenses, only able to keep five hundred for herself.
What can five hundred do?
It's gone with two pieces of clothing!
Christina sighed, “I also want to move out, but…”
But she lacked the courage.
“But what?” Isla asked.
Seeing her like this, Isla added, “Cousin, if you're short of money, I can lend you some. I can also help you think of a way regarding work.”
Christina shook her head, “Isly, it's not because of that. My mom hid my ID card and our family's household registration book. Where could I run to?”
Nowadays, you need an ID card everywhere.
Even if you lose your ID card, you still need the household registration book for a replacement.
But she had never even seen her own ID card.
Even her jobs were found by her mother.
Isla frowned slightly, “How could auntie be like this? She is restricting your personal freedom! Does she think George is a human, and you are not?”
Christina sighed again.
Isla continued, “Cousin, do you have the courage to escape from them?”
“Escape from them?” Christina widened her eyes, “Where could I escape to?”
Isla continued, “No matter where you escape to, it'll be better than staying with them! If you have the courage, I can help you arrange it!”
Christina looked at Isla, smiling, “Isly, I know you mean well! My life is already like this, no matter where I escape to, I'm still their daughter. Besides, I think my mom has already changed a lot, so I won't leave.”
She believed that things with her parents would get better.
And where could she go, anyway?
Seeing her like this, Isla sighed helplessly, “Cousin, I suggest you seriously consider my advice. If you need it, you can contact me anytime.
“Okay,” Christina nodded.
Later that evening, after returning home.
Beatrice Black held Christina's hand, her face full of loving smiles, “Christina, Mom needs to discuss something with you.”
“Mom, go ahead,” Christina said.
Beatrice continued, “Christina, you're not getting any younger. Back in our hometown, girls your age have sons old enough to fetch sauce. Unlike you, still not settled.”
“I'm not in a rush,” Christina said.
Beatrice smiled, “You may not be in a rush, but Mom is.”
Having said that, Beatrice continued, “I've found you someone from a marriage bureau, someone with decent personality and background, he'll be visiting our home in three days to meet the family, and you'll need to behave well then.”
Christina frowned slightly, “Mom, are you in such a hurry?”
