Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 1057 - 290: Setting up a trap to abuse the scum!_4

"Thank you, Auntie."

Sabrina put the nutritional supplements on the table, inquired about Mr. Astir's condition, and then the conversation shifted back to Isla. "Isla is such a dutiful child! This sickroom must cost a lot for a night, doesn't it?"

"It's not much."

Sabrina looked around the sickroom. "It must be expensive!See, it's great to have money! By the way, Isla, do you have a boyfriend now?"

That question again!

Isla felt a bit frustrated, "Auntie, I am still young."

She was just twenty years old.

Not forty.

Mrs. Astir also laughed and said: "Isla hasn't even graduated from university yet, she doesn't need to rush."

"Twenty years old is not young. College students can get married too. I heard that it even adds bonus points to their resume! Isn't that right, Isla?"

Isla shook her head, "I'm not very sure."

"It's definitely true," Sabrina insisted as she peeled an orange. She's very well-informed about such things. "Don't believe it, you can ask around next time."

Isla didn't directly respond to this question, instead, she poured a cup of water for Sabrina, "Auntie, have some water."

Sabrina was quite blunt, "I'm eating an orange. I'm not thirsty."

Isla had to put down the water glass.

Sabrina continued, "Isla, you're the only child of your parents. They're too shy to speak it out, but you mustn't feign ignorance. You can't just casually fall in love and date anyone. In the future, you have to find a good man who can support both of your parents together with you!"

Upon these words, Olivia's expression changed immediately, "Why would you say this to the child?"

"I'm not wrong," Sabrina said with a laugh: "And I believe that Isla is a good girl. She would definitely listen to me. In my opinion, when looking for a boyfriend, you should choose someone who comes from a background you're familiar with and is capable of supporting your parents with you. Plus, Isla is so wealthy, what if she's deceived by someone? If you know the guy well, you'd at least be able to judge his character. He wouldn't cheat Isla. I'm thinking for Isla, you know!"

To this, Isla responded, "Auntie, it's not necessarily the case that I must get married to support my parents. Even if I'm single, I can still provide very well for my parents."

Although Isla was young and a comic book artist, she didn't have the genes to yearn for a romantic relationship.

On the contrary, she was very pragmatic.

About love, she was easy-going.

If it comes, she'd go with it.

If not, she won't force it. In this world, no one can't live without the others.

Even if she never marries, she could still lead a splendid life.

Hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Astir were beaming with pride.

What many families' sons, despite having more than one, can't achieve, Isla has achieved.

Most importantly, this year, Isla was only twenty years old.

Mr. and Mrs. Astir also believed that Isla would surely accomplish greater things in the future.

Sabrina had nothing to refute upon hearing this, but upon reflection, she still felt that Isla's words were problematic. She went on, "Look at what you're saying. Even though you are supporting your parents now! But sooner or later you'll have to get married, and when you're married, don't you have to follow your husband's footsteps? What happens to your parents if you leave to follow him? That's why when I'm advising you to find a reliable man to date, I'm thinking for you! You can't let your parents toil only for your sake without any payback!"

Isla wasn't made of wood, upon hearing these words, she was naturally somewhat angry, but considering that Sabrina was an elder, she refrained from talking back.

Mrs. Astir went on, "I won't interfere in Isla's future marriage matters, she can choose her partner as she likes, as long as she's happy with it!"

Although Mrs. Astir wasn't highly educated, she knew that a daughter was not an accessory.

When it comes to selecting a future husband, nothing is more important than love.

Sabrina immediately rebutted, "Isla is still young. How can we let her do as she pleases? What if she finds a boyfriend from some remote mountain or forest, what would you and her uncle do then? We can't let it be!"

Saying this, Sabrina went on, "You must learn from me in this. I started educating George early on, insisting that he find a girlfriend from a reputable background. He absolutely can't end up with a shrew! George obeys me, he doesn't date anyone if I don't allow. He even plans to pursue post-graduate studies now!"

George is the son of Sabrina and Armstrong, and Isla's cousin.

George indeed listens to Sabrina about everything.

In modern terms, he's a mama's boy. Since he is the only child in the family, even now, each week George brings his dirty laundry from the dormitory back home for Sabrina to wash.
