Olivia said incredulously, “That's pretty rare. When did your mom, the tightwad, get so enlightened?”
Even Isla Astir thought it was bizarre.
When had Sabrina Sabir ever made a losing deal?
Especially since in her eyes, a girl is like water thrown away!
But Christina didn't see any problem and smiled, “Auntie, really, my mom is actually quite nice. She was just too stubborn before.”
Olivia said, “Christina, do you know George bought a car?”
“I know,” Christina nodded. “George has always been smart. My mom said the software he developed made quite a bit of money, and he's planning to buy a house back in his hometown.”
Sabrina Sabir hadn't told Christina about the exorbitant dowry, only that George was able to buy a house and car on his own merit.
Christina had no doubts.
After all, George was indeed very smart, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get into Capital University.
Isla Astir, who had been silent, then spoke up, “Besides that, Cousin, has anything else happened in your family recently?”
“Nothing,” Christina shook her head.
Her mother had told her not to mention the matchmaking she was arranging for now.
Because the man hadn't come over yet.
If it didn't work out, it would be embarrassing, especially since she was a girl.
Isla Astir frowned subtly, “Really?”
“Really,” Christina chuckled. “Isla, would I keep things from you?”
Christina apologized to Isla Astir in her heart.
Sorry!
Once things were settled, she would definitely tell Isla Astir the good news immediately.
Isla Astir handed Christina an apple she had washed, “But I still feel something isn't right. Aunt's change of attitude towards you is too drastic, Cousin. If something happens, you must tell me so I can help you analyze it.”
“Okay,” Christina nodded.
At this moment, Christina didn't know yet.
It turns out, 'tigers do not eat their cubs' referred to 'sons.'
It didn't include her, a daughter.
Olivia brought the last dish to the table and glanced at Isla Astir, “Look at you, we're about to eat, and you're still eating an apple? You won't have room for dinner!”
“Apples are appetizing before dinner,” Isla Astir replied.
Olivia was helpless, “You always have the most twisted logic.”
This was the first time she had heard that eating apples before a meal was appetizing.
Watching the interaction between Isla Astir and her aunt, Christina had always envied such mother-daughter relationships.
At last.
She could now have one too!
It felt really good.
Olivia looked at Isla Astir, “Go call your dad to come have dinner.”
“Okay,” Isla Astir went to the bedroom to call Mr. Astir.
After dinner, Olivia, taking Christina's hand, said solemnly, “Christina, although you are my niece, in my heart, you and Isla are no different. You are like my own daughter, and I hope you live a happy and fortunate life. No one knows your mom better than I do. She doesn't work without profit. Her sudden niceness to you must be hiding something, so if you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me and I will make decisions for you!”
Continuing, Olivia sighed and said, “I'm not trying to drive a wedge between you and your mom by telling you this. Isla and I just find this situation strange. It just doesn't feel right. Of course, if your mom has truly changed for the better, that's even better! Then you can assume I've never said any of this. But you still need to be cautious!”
Hearing this, Christina was very touched.
From the beginning until now, Isla's parents and family had treated her very well.
Isla Astir often bought her clothes and never refused if Christina asked for help.
“Auntie, thank you,”
Christina hugged Olivia tightly.
Olivia patted Christina on the back and said with a smile, “If you really want to thank me, take good care of yourself.”
“Mm,” Christina nodded.
That evening, Christina, Olivia, and Isla Astir talked for a long, long time.
At ten-thirty, Christina suggested leaving.
Olivia said, “Christina, stay here and sleep over tonight!”
“Yes, Cousin, sleep in the same room with me,” Isla Astir nodded in agreement.
