Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 696: 227: It’s too late to regret! _2
 

“[Who is Sophie Cooper? Why do you all keep mentioning Sophie Cooper? Don’t judge me, I just learned about this recent gossip and have no idea who Sophie Cooper is.]

[Sophie Cooper is actually Sylvia Thompson. Let me explain to those who are not aware. Sophie Cooper was originally the nanny Nidya’s daughter. Nidya wanted her own daughter to live a wealthy life, so she secretly swapped her own daughter with the legitimate Thompson Clan’s heiress, essentially kidnapping the Young Miss Thompson Family. She then set up a situation so that Mr. and Mrs. Thompson would find and raise her biological daughter, and ever since then, Sophie Cooper transformed into Sylvia Thompson.]

[Having followed this gossip till now, I’m fed up! I used to really like Sophie Cooper, thinking she was kind, beautiful, and top of her university class. It turns out you really can’t judge a book by its cover!]

[As for Edward Thompson, he isn’t a bad person, he hasn’t done anything unforgivable. It’s just that he’s a bit naive, his current predicament is all due to Sophie Cooper’s manipulation. After all, he watched Sophie grow up, perhaps he never imagined Sophie could be so wicked.]

[If I were the Young Miss Thompson Family, I wouldn’t forgive him, the things he did previously were truly hurtful!]

…

Thompson Family Manor.

Mandel Thompson walked in from outside, carrying his briefcase.

Mary Perryne immediately stood up, her full-faced smile directed at Mandel Thompson, “Brandon, you must be tired after a full day of work! Your little sister has made a fantastic cup of Milk Tea. I’ll have Nanny Eyre prepare a cup for you.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Thompson immediately put down her cup and laughed, “Yes, yes, please pour a cup of Milk Tea for Brandon.”

Mandel Thompson was a bit stunned, even feeling a bit like he was dreaming.

His grandmother and mother were being unusually enthusiastic today.

After all, his past workdays had also been tiring, but his mother and grandmother hadn’t shown him this much concern before.

Before Mandel Thompson could react, he was already sitting on Mrs. Thompson’s sofa, with her insisting, “Sit, sit.”

At that moment, Nanny Eyre walked over with a cup of Milk Tea, “Young Master, this is Milk Tea brewed personally by the Young Miss Thompson Family.”

The scent of Milk Tea was very strong, making its way into his nostrils.

Mandel Thompson subconsciously thought that the taste must be good. He looked up at Viola Thompson, smiling, “Viola, you’re amazing!”

Viola Thompson wasn’t modest at all. With a lift of her chin, “Of course.”

She was slightly proud.

Following that, Viola said, “Brother, give it a try.”

Under Viola’s expectant gaze, Mandel Thompson picked up the cup. Trusting Viola, he took a big gulp.

Just one mouthful, and Mandel Thompson was dazed. His face turned red.

It was horrible!

A flavor indescribable in words, a bit salty, sweet, and bitter, even spicy! Why can a cup of Milk Tea taste this terrible?

Just as Mandel Thompson was about to put the cup down, he saw Viola’s expectant eyes, “Brother, is it good?”

Mandel Thompson swallowed the words ‘terrible’, nodded, and said, “It is good, very good!”

“Really?” Viola poured herself a cup, “Let me taste it.”

Mandel Thompson immediately grabbed Viola’s cup.

If Viola found out just how bad the Milk Tea she made tasted, wouldn’t that destroy her confidence?

So he absolutely couldn’t let Viola taste the Milk Tea she made.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Viola lifted her gaze slightly.

Mandel Thompson seriously said, “Sister, I love the Milk Tea you made too much! So I’ll take this cup too!”

Any unknowing people who saw this scene might really think that the Milk Tea Viola brewed was very tasty.

Mrs. Thompson responded with a laugh, “Viola, since your brother likes it, let him have it. You can brew some more when you have time.”

Mary Perryne also joined in, “Yes, yes, let him have it.”

Although Viola also loves Milk Tea, she was satisfied that her skills were appreciated. This shows that she has a natural talent. Thus, she reluctantly gave up the Milk Tea to Mandel Thompson.

Mrs. Thompson, always enjoying a little fun, continued to urge Mandel Thompson to drink the Tea, “Brandon, hurry up and drink.”

Mandel Thompson looked at the Milk Tea on the table, closed his eyes and gathered his resolve, picked up the cup and chugged the entire cup.

Seeing this, Viola was full of confidence. She hadn’t expected that Mandel Thompson would love her Milk Tea so much,

“Brother, I will make it for you again tomorrow.”

Mandel Thompson was taken aback: ?????
