Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 1968 - 559: Meet the Parents_2

"What’s the matter?" Emmy Gray was very curious.

Liam Webster continued, "Isla is actually not my aunt and uncle’s biological daughter; she was found by my aunt in a snowy field."

"Do you know why she’s called Wennie?"

Emmy Gray shook her head, which was also something she was curious about, after all, William Astir and Olivia Armstrong were illiterate, and logically, they should not be able to come up with such a nice name.

Liam Webster explained, "The character ’茵’ (Yin) can refer to a mat or cushion in ancient times. When my aunt found Isla, she was lying under a cushion. Later, the elders in the village named her Wennie, hoping she would grow up to be a cultured person."

"So that’s why!" Emmy Gray’s eyes widened as she continued, "I really had no idea that Isla was not actually the child of my aunt and uncle! Have they not had any children of their own over the years?"

Perhaps the timing had not been right before, so Liam Webster had never mentioned these things to Emmy Gray.

At this moment, Emmy Gray was greatly surprised to hear that Isla Astir was a child who had been picked up.

Because Isla Astir looked just like a real family with William Astir and Olivia Armstrong.

Liam Webster went on, "My aunt and uncle had been married for many years without having children, and after a hospital checkup, it was discovered that my aunt couldn’t conceive. My uncle is a man who values affection and loyalty a lot. Despite his parents’ strong opposition and pressure, he still insisted on staying with my aunt. In fact, when Isla was first brought back by my aunt, life was not easy. At that time, everyone was persuading my aunt and uncle not to carelessly raise someone else’s child. Some children cannot be made to feel at home, and even if they do grow up successfully, they could still leave. They said it’s better to take care of your relatives’ children, who could provide support in old age."

Emmy Gray opened her mouth in shock, then said, "Isla is really so sensible! And my aunt and uncle are also good people. By the way, over these years, have there been any attempts from Isla’s biological parents to recognize her?"

Liam Webster nodded, "Of course! At first, when Isla had no money to study, my aunt and uncle went to that family to borrow money, but they said that a daughter thrown away is like water splashed out and had nothing to do with Isla. Since they came to know Isla has abilities, all sorts of aunts and uncles from that side of the family have come forward to acknowledge kinship!"

"Shameless!" Emmy Gray, hearing this, became furious, "And how about Isla? What was her reaction?"

Liam Webster replied with a smile, "Isla didn’t even give them a glance."

Isla Astir is a very opinionated girl with a sense of justice and understanding.

To those who treat her well, she will surely reciprocate with kindness.

But if someone mistreats her and her parents, even if that person is an elder, she won’t show them any respect.

She always remembered how her parents were bullied by the grandparents, uncles, and aunts back in their hometown. That’s why she brought her parents to the city, to set clear boundaries from the past.

Because her parents are not her.

As people get older, they tend to become more susceptible to persuasion, and Isla Astir didn’t want her parents to get entangled with those people.

Emmy Gray nodded, "Isla did the right thing, there’s no need to even look at those people who abandoned their own daughter! It’s utterly disgusting, they only acknowledge kinship when seeing Isla is capable of earning money. What if Isla couldn’t earn money?"

Liam Webster continued, "That’s why Isla is such a good girl, and hopefully, Mr. Thompson is as capable as you said."

Only then would he be worthy of Wennie.

As he finished speaking, Liam Webster put down his cup, "I’ll go prepare for tomorrow’s work in advance. We’ll go together to pick up Eva at two o’clock."

Although it was still uncertain whether Eva Webster could come back or not, as her brother, he had to be present when needed, he couldn’t just stay out of sight.

That would be inappropriate.

Time flies quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already two in the midnight.

The plane was scheduled to land at three o’clock.

It takes half an hour to get to the airport from here, plus the time spent inside the airport, they would arrive just around three o’clock.

Liam Webster and Emmy Gray got into the car.

At two-thirty.

Windy Armstrong began to look around anxiously at the arrival gate.

She was very anxious, frequently asking Olivia Armstrong, "Olivia, why hasn’t Eva come out yet? Nothing untoward has happened, has it?"

Olivia Armstrong responded with a smile, "Sister, just relax, there won’t be any accidents. It’s only two-thirty now, there’s still half an hour till the plane lands!"
