“I don’t think Elisa is wayward, reckless, or hot–tempered. Who doesn’t have a temper? Even a figurine made of clay has some expressions.
“Even if Elisa acts as you described her, I have a good temper and am tolerant. I’m best suited for someone with a temper like Elisa’s.”
Mrs. Stone could not retort at all.
Remy was indeed a good–tempered person.
He was tolerant too.
“Mrs. Stone, aside from the fact that I’m not from Wiltspoon, what else are you unsatisfied with? I can correct them.”
Since Mrs. Stone was straightforward, Remy asked her that question frankly too.
“You’re great in everything and outstanding. I started admiring you even before you started pursuing my daughter. As I mentioned before, I only have one daughter. I can’t bear her marrying someone who lives far away. Since you and my daughter have just started dating, it’s not too late. to end the relationship. You won’t hurt each other.”
“I’m working in Wiltspoon long–term, and I live here. Nearly all my friends are in Wiltspoon, and the new house I bought is beside your family’s. My registered residence isn’t in Wiltspoon, but aside from that, I’m no different from a Wiltspoonian, Mrs. Stone.
“I can change my registered residence to Wiltspoon for Elisa too.”
Mrs. Stone stayed silent.
Elisa used to love Zack stubbornly. Actually, she inherited her stubbornness from her mother.
Mrs. Stone was stubborn about some issues too. She would insist on her opinions no matter how much others persuaded or talked to her. She was acting this way recently.
No matter what Remy did or promised, she would not agree to her daughter marrying him.
Beep…
Remy received a new Whatsapp message.
He took his phone and tapped Whatsapp to have a look.
It was Elisa who sent him the message. She asked him if her mother was being hard on him and requested him not to resent her mother for her sake if her mother was doing so.
Remy’s gaze was filled with softness.
He had already treated Mrs. Stone as his mother–in–law. How could he possibly hate his future mother–in–law?
It was he who was not doing enough and better. Mrs. Stone refused to approve because he could not give her enough security..
Simply speaking, he still had to work harder.
Courting a wife was not easy. He would treasure Elisa more after successfully getting her.
Remy replied to Elisa’s message: [Mrs. Stone isn’t hard on me. Don’t worry.]
Elisa received Remy’s reply. She felt assured after thinking her mother was still reasonable, albeit a little aggressive.
She waited for Andrew at the entrance of the hotel. Luckily, he did not make her wait long and arrived after a short while.
Andrew spotted Elisa at the entrance once he reached.
He found a parking bay and parked his car.
Surprisingly, Elisa was already standing in front of his car after he got down. She smiled at him and said, “Good evening, Mr. Reading.”
Andrew’s eyes gleamed.
The feisty lady seemed to have changed a lot.
In the past, Elisa was arrogant. Aside from his cousin Zack, everything else was worthless in her eyes.
She had become elegant, proper, and mild–mannered.
Andrew had already felt Elisa’s transformation when he had previously seen her at the Stone family’s house. She was not as difficult to get along with as the rumors described.
Of course, he did not think the outsiders‘ comments about Elisa were true.
Elisa came from a wealthy family. Even if she were arrogant, she had the right to be. Many people who were inferior to her were envious of it.
Among those who commented, there must have been quite a number of people tarnishing Elisa’s reputation on purpose. However, Elisa was not one to care about her reputation. She did things. her way and was headstrong. As time passed, her reputation in the social circle became terrible.
Andrew found the current Elisa extremely charming. It was different from her previous flamboyant beauty.
Maybe it was because his opinions of her had changed.
When admiring someone, all of that person’s shortcomings would turn into strong points. On the other hand, hating someone would cause even that person’s strengths to turn into flaws.
“Good evening, Ms. Stone.”
Andrew returned Elisa’s greeting with a smile.
He looked behind Elisa.
There was no sign of Mrs. Stone.
It was Mrs. Stone who had invited him over for a meal. He thought she would be present.
Mrs. Stone was being too polite. He stopped his car to ask her what had happened simply because he saw her sitting on the floor. He also drove her home afterward. It was a slight effort. and no big deal to him.
However, she treated Andrew like her life savior. Her excessive enthusiasm and gratitude made him feel pressured.
Elisa had also called him countless times to treat him to a meal and repay his kindness.
He refused all of them politely.
However, Mrs. Stone invited him repeatedly that day. Andrew only agreed to the dinner to regain his peace and quiet. He thought Mrs. Stone would not bother him anymore after having one meal together and letting her feel like she had repaid his kindness.
“My mom is waiting for you in a private room, Mr. Reading,” Elisa explained.
Andrew let out a breath of relief.
It was fine as long as he was not having a meal with Elisa alone.
Although he thought Elisa had changed a lot, he did not want to eat with her alone. He feared the paparazzi would take pictures and create a scandal that would become a trending topic.
His identity in Wiltspoon was overly sensitive.
As the nephew of the York family’s head missus and Zack’s cousin, his scandal would easily top the trending charts.
The Readings kept an extremely low profile. He did not wish to become the first Reading to be a trending headline.
“After you, Mr. Reading.”
Elisa invited Andrew into the hotel.
He nodded politely and went into the hotel with her.
They soon reached the private room. Elisa opened the door and gestured for Andrew to enter.
Once he went inside and saw that Mrs. Stone and Remy were present, he relaxed immediately.
“Mrs. Stone, Mr. Johnson,” Andrew greeted.
Remy stood up to welcome him and gestured for him to sit.
Mrs. Stone also greeted Andrew with a smile. She was exceptionally friendly to him.
Andrew chose to sit beside Remy. After sitting, he grinned and said to Mrs. Stone, “You’re too kind, Mrs. Stone. It was no trouble at all.”
“It was no trouble to you, but you saved me. I’m indebted to you. I’ve always separated gratitude. and grudges clearly. I’ll repay the kindnesses I’ve received and take revenge on those who’ve wronged me. Don’t be too formal with me in the future, Andrew. If you don’t give me a chance to repay you, I won’t even be able to eat in peace.”
The Stones and the Yorks could be considered relatives.
