324: A discerning eye identifies the pearl!_4

With a change of thought, Mary Perryne asked again, "Is she single?"

"No, not yet." Viola Thompson answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Mary Perryne's eyes brightened, and she slapped her thigh, "Fantastic!"

After she slapped, Mary Perryne seemed oddly puzzled. "That didn't hurt at all?"

She was sure she'd hit her hard enough.

"That's because you hit my thigh," Viola explained.

Mary Perryne: "..."

No wonder it didn't hurt her.

Turning back to the previous topic, Mary Perryne asked, "So, you're sure she doesn't have a boyfriend?"

"I'm sure." Viola Thompson nodded slightly.

After answering, Viola gave a subtle, playful squint of her eyes, "Mother, you aren't interested in her, are you?"

"Absolutely!"

Mary Perryne didn't hide her thoughts at all, "What a nice and cool girl! And she's smart. Honestly, I haven't seen a girl brave enough to keep poisonous snakes and scorpions as pets!"

Viola never expected Mary Perryne would be impressed by the weird pets she kept.
