The scene must have been splendid.
Mandel Thompson had just confessed to her, and then Eva Webster suddenly dropped such a statement, which left Isla Astir momentarily stunned.
"No, no, it's not like that. Second cousin, you've misunderstood," Isla Astir said.
Seeing Isla Astir's reaction, Eva Webster sneered inwardly, and then continued, "Actually, it's not impossible. Although Mr. Thompson is surrounded by beautiful women, you're quite attractive yourself, Isla! What if Mr. Thompson grows tired of indulging in rich foods and wants to switch to some porridge and vegetables to cleanse his palate?"
"Isla, although your family background and education are a bit lacking, there's a huge difference between a girlfriend and a fiancée."
With someone like Isla Astir, unless Mandel Thompson went blind, he'd never fall for her!
