Elisa could only be an aunt to Jane’s babies.
She came to her senses and grasped the point. If she got together with Remy, she would be the babies‘ aunt.
She felt a bit shy and a blush creeping up her face.
Andrew looked at Elisa who was different from what rumors had said about her. Not wanting to stay any longer, he stood up and was going to take his leave. “Zack, Serena, I’m leaving now.”
“Why don’t you stay for a little while? You can go back after supper.”
Serena tried to persuade Andrew to stay.
Andrew laughed and said, “I don’t usually have supper. After each supper, I need to spend a long time working out to maintain a good body shape. Serena, I’m single, so my image is important.”
Serena grinned. “You’re like your cousin. He doesn’t want to have supper because he also wants to maintain his figure.”
Since Andrew is insistent on leaving, Serena stopped persuading him. She asked Zack to walk his cousin out.
“Seren, can you lend me your car so I don’t have to stay here overnight?”
Upon her arrival at Serena’s house, Elisa impulsively wanted to stay there as she did not want to return home. However, she thought it would be better to borrow a car and stay in her own house for several days. She did not want to be a third wheel.
“Just stay here for one night.”
“Nope. Zack appears to be okay with it but he’ll pull a long face if I actually stay the night.”
Zack was a possessive man.
Elisa felt that she should not offend him.
“If he dares sulk then I’ll make him sleep in the study.”
Elisa burst into laughter before she replied, “I’d better leave, then. If he ends up sleeping in the study because of me, I’m afraid he’ll forever pull a long face in front of me.”
Serena giggled, knowing that her husband was domineering.
She generously took some car keys and placed them in front of Elisa. “These are the few types of cars we have in the garage. You can pick any one of them.”
Elisa casually took a car key and said, “Any car is good enough. I’m not picky.”
After seeing his cousin off, Zack returned and heard what Elisa said. Deep down, he was unhappy. All the cars in the garage were luxury cars.
Elisa surely was not picky.
if the vehicles in the garage were tractors instead, she would definitely be picky.
Elisa left shortly.
After she left, Zack went upstairs while hugging his beloved wife. Once they entered their room, Serena asked him, “When Elisa came just now, what did Andrew tell you? Andrew came up with an excuse to leave as soon as she came.”
“Nothing much. Andrew and Elisa saw through Mrs. Stone’s plots. Andrew came up with an excuse to leave only because he felt embarrassed.”
Zack sat down on the bed with his hands wrapped around Serena. He could not help but press her down in less than two minutes.
Serena pushed him away. “Take a bath. You haven’t washed up. If you don’t bathe on such a hot day, don’t sleep on my bed.”
“It’s hot outside, but it’s not in the house.”
Zack domineeringly kissed her before letting her go.
“Mrs. Stone got Remy a love rival to make things difficult for him.”
Serena sat up. “Remy has done his best, yet Aunt Audrey is still dissatisfied. Remy and Elisa are well–matched and have feelings for each other. Oh well, Aunt Audrey is dead set on going against their relationship. Elisa fought back, only to get kicked out of the car by Aunt Audrey.”
Zack’s hands were wrapped around her waist. “Let’s just watch the show without getting involved.”
“I know. When they come to pour their hearts out to me, I’ll just lend an ear to them without having a hand in it. I’ll be an onlooker.”
The good show was to be continued.
“Hurry up and take a bath.”
Serena turned around and kissed him on the cheek. After she whispered to him, he happily went for a bath right away.
Remy flew back to Annenburg the next afternoon. Two days after he returned to Anneburg, Jane gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins.
Remy instantly phoned Elisa to share his joy with her.
This was not his first time being an uncle but it was different this time.
Previously, he became an uncle to his cousin’s child.
This time around, he was an uncle to his brother’s children.
When Elisa picked up his call, she was still staying in her house. She did not return to the Stones‘ residence.
After Mrs. Stone found out from Serena that Elisa was staying in her own house, she did not take the initiative to call Elisa. There was a deadlock between Mrs. Stone and Elisa. Seemingly, they gave each other the silent treatment.
Mrs. Stone felt that she was right–it was her daughter who was immature, unfilial, and disobedient.
On the other hand, Elisa found her mother stubborn. Remy had gotten things squared away, yet Mrs. Stone remained resolute just because Remy was not a Wiltspoonian.
“The babies are born!”
Elisa was delighted to hear from Remy that Jane had delivered her babies. She immediately wished him, “Remy, congratulations. You’re now an uncle.”
“Thank you. This time, I’m an uncle to my brother’s children, who are a pair of fraternal twins. Our family members are all overjoyed, especially my brother. He can’t wait to celebrate it.”
“They’re fraternal twins. How wonderful!” Elisa screamed before she said with a smile, “I admire. your sister–in–law for giving birth to fraternal twins. The babies must be cute. Do you have photos of them? Send a few to me to have a look.”
“The babies are still in the incubators. I only saw them once. They’re very small but cute. I took some photos, and I’ll send them to you later. My mom said babies look different each day. Over time, they’ll get cuter.”
The two babies were born before the due date. Besides, they were fraternal twins. When they were born, they were not even six pounds each, and that was why they were still in the incubator.
“Congrats. This is wonderful. How I wish my sister–in–law could give birth to a pair of fraternal twins too. Oh, that’s impossible. She’s pregnant with a baby.”
Elisa’s sister–in–law’s pregnancy was quite tormenting. Now, the baby was still troubling Alice.
Elisa’s niece or nephew was expected to be born at the end of this year or the beginning of next year
Remy said with a smile, “Many are pregnant with twins, but only a handful of them give birth to fraternal twins. I heard this has to do with genetics. My sister–in–law and her brother are fraternal twins.”
Elisa agreed. “Your sister–in–law and Mr. Lafayette are fraternal twins. Now, your sister–in–law has given birth to a pair of fraternal twins herself.”
She had also heard that it had to do with genetics.
“Elisa.”
“If you have something to say, just say it.”
Although Elisa and Remy were on the phone and unable to see each other, Elisa knew from his tone that he was biting his tongue at that moment.
“Now that I’m not in Wiltspoon, did your mom try to make you go on a date with Mr. Reading?”
Elisa purposely joked around. “Yeah, we meet every day.”
Remy stopped speaking on the other end of the line.
Elisa thought he was mad, so she was about to tell him that she was lying. At that moment, he happened to say, “I’m catching a flight back to Wiltspoon this afternoon.”
Knowing that his sister-in-law and her babies were safe, and that he had met them, he could not fight the urge to stay any longer.
He had to return to Wiltspoon to protect his woman!
Elisa laughed and said, “I was kidding. I haven’t met Mr. Reading since that night. It’s been a few days.”
