In the past, he would return home twice a month and stay there for several days. Sometimes, he would only go back to Wiltspoon to work after his brother urged him.
Ever since Remy fell in love with Elisa, he rarely went home, especially after Andrew’s appearance. Although nothing had happened between Andrew and Elisa, Remy knew that Andrew had gone to the Stone family’s house twice afterward.
For both times, Mrs. Stone had run into a minor accident and was sent home by Andrew after coincidentally meeting him.
Remy did not believe that it was a coincidence.
It was obvious that Mrs. Stone wanted to bring Andrew and Elisa together.
With a love rival present, Remy was even more reluctant to leave Wiltspoon. He feared Elisa would become Andrew’s girlfriend when he returned after leaving for some time.
“You do have to go back and accompany your family,” Elisa said considerately.
“Elisa, are you willing to go back with me?” Remy asked.
He wished to bring her back to let his elders meet her.
Although the elders knew he had someone he liked in Wiltspoon and had seen Elisa’s pictures, they had not met her in person yet.
A person as carefree as Elisa blushed because of Remy’s words. She said, “We aren’t officially together yet. It’s still too early to meet our parents.”
“As for my mom… I can go with you to meet your parents anytime if you manage to get past my mom.”
Disappointment clouded Remy’s eyes, but his fighting spirit reignited quickly. With a gentle smile, he said, “I hope I don’t have to wait too long for that day to come. I’ll definitely clear Mrs. Stone’s hurdle.”
If he could not get past Mrs. Stone after working hard, he would have no choice but to let his parents, brother, and sister–in–law intervene.
At that moment, a waiter knocked on the door and entered with a bouquet.
Upon seeing the waiter entering, Remy stood up and received the bouquet from him.
After that, he passed the flowers to Elisa and gazed at her affectionately. His smile resembled the spring breeze in March. “Elisa, I ordered these flowers beforehand. It was inconvenient for me to bring a bouquet when I went to the Buchams‘ house to pick you up just now.”
Elisa accepted the bouquet with a grin.
“I’ve been receiving flowers from you several times every day.”
Remy’s strategy of gifting flowers was aggressive.
He would give Elisa flowers several times a day.
Aside from flowers, there were also various types of gifts. Ultimately, he wanted to please her in every way possible.
He wanted her to experience being pursued and cherished by someone.
It was sweet, happy, and exhilarating.
“It’s fine if you like it and are happy.”
“I love it. I’m elated too. I’ve been in a good mood every day as I could receive flowers from a handsome guy daily.”
Remy reached out and held Elisa’s hand. “Elisa, my greatest wish is to be by your side every day and make you happy. You have the brightest and sweetest smile. It lights up my heart like the sunshine.
“I feel like the happiest person in the world whenever I’m with you.”
Remy was skilled at whispering sweet words and honeyed phrases.
Elisa was over the moon upon hearing those words. She had the urge to get married to him there and then.
Ring, ring…
Just when they were totally engrossed with each other, Elisa’s phone rang. It was an unexpected disruption.
Elisa put the flowers aside and reached for her bag to take her phone inside it.
She gestured at Remy to stay quiet when she saw the caller’s name. She said, “It’s the queen of my family.”
She picked up her mother’s call.
“Mom.”
Elisa addressed her mother sweetly.
Mrs. Stone, who was on the other end of the line, asked, “Elisa, are you and Serena not back yet?”
“We’re back, but we found out Jasmine was back from her honeymoon when we returned. Seren and I went to the Buchams‘ house. Mom, I have great news for you. Jasmine’s pregnant.”
There was envy in Remy’s eyes upon hearing that.
However, he soon thought of something that made the envy dissipate slightly.
Mrs. Stone laughed and said, “This is good news. She got lucky right after her wedding.”
“The entire Bucham family is excited. Mr. Bucham is super nervous. He’s even treating Jasmine like a national treasure.”
Mrs. Stone smiled. “That’s natural. Josh is the first to marry in his generation, so the baby in Jasmine’s belly will be the first grandchild. It’s a given that the Buchams will treat this seriously ”
The first child always brought a lot of anticipation and priority.
“How’s Seren?” Mrs. Stone thought about her niece, who was not pregnant yet. Jasmine had gotten pregnant during her honeymoon. Mrs. Stone was worried her niece would be upset
Elisa recalled Serena’s reaction. She said, “She looked normal. You don’t have to worry about her, Mom. She has an open mind now and is going with the flow. She’s no longer in a rush to get pregnant.
“Besides, we’re so busy. She doesn’t have the time and effort to think about having a child.”
In the past, Serena only had to watch over Elisa and Jasmine’s bookstore. Getting pregnant was always on her mind because she had too much time.
It was right that staying home and doing nothing would make someone overthink. It would be best to get something to do to distract oneself and even earn some money.
Women could still earn money after marriage. It would also give them some confidence to face their in–laws.
Elisa came to that conclusion through Liberty’s marriage.
No matter how much money a man earned, it was best that women had financial independence and never believed men when they said they would take care of them. Men would get tired of it after some time.
Every time a woman asked a man for money, the man would go from being willing to nagging. rolling their eyes, and then scolding. In the end, they would refuse to give the money…
Of course, not all men would be like Hank.
Kind people still occupied a larger portion of the world’s population.
“You’re together with Seren almost every day. If you notice she has something on her mind, try to talk to her more.”
“I know. Don’t worry, Mom. Seren is my sister. I care for her more than anyone and want her to be happy too. If Zack dares mistreat her, I’ll even go to his place to pick a fight.”
“You’ll pick a fight?”
Mrs. Stone’s tone became stern.
Elisa quickly rephrased her words. “I’ll go to his place and demand justice for Serena. I won’t use fists. Mm, I’m an elegant lady. I’ll use words and not my fists.”
my
Well, she could still use her feet and vent her anger by kicking Zack several times.
“Are you still at the Buchams‘ house now?” Mrs. Stone did not know what to do with her daughter. She knew what was going on in her daughter’s mind.
Other people used their mouths and not fists while her daughter would use her fists instead of words whenever possible. Otherwise, why would her reputation in Wiltspoon be so terrible?
“I just left their house. What’s the matter, Mom?”
“Come to our family’s hotel now. I invited Mr. Reading over for a meal. You should come over and eat with us too. He helped me so many times. As my children, you guys can treat Mr. Reading to a meal to repay his kindness in my stead.“.
Elisa said, “Mom, Mr. Reading had refused the last time I treated him to a meal. He said it was a small matter and that we didn’t have to be so polite about it.”
“Mr. Reading helped me twice again recently. I called him personally to treat him to a meal. He agreed to it. Come over quickly. He’ll be here soon.”
Elisa asked, “Is it just you and me?”
