Andrew was a clever person. Given that Mrs. Stone had made her intention so clear, how could he possibly not notice it?
Andrew probably wished he could draw a clear boundary with Elisa and that he had never met her.
“I need to return to the office because there’s a lot of work to address.”
When letting out a sigh of relief, Remy decided to return to Wiltspoon in the afternoon.
Having a lot of pending work was one of the reasons he wanted to return to Wiltspoon. However, the main reason was that being in Wiltspoon allowed him to protect Elisa easily.
“What time will you arrive? Do you want me to pick you up?”
When Remy returned to Annenburg, he would usually take a private jet. It was only when his brothers used his family’s private jet that he would book a flight ticket.
Upon hearing that Elisa wanted to pick him up, he discarded the idea of taking a private jet.
He said, “After booking a flight ticket, I’ll screenshot it for you.”
“Alright. Let’s have dinner together.”
Remy was pleased. “Sure.”
“I’ll carry on with my work first.”
Remy said reluctantly, “Okay. Take care and don’t overwork yourself. Just let me know if you my help.”
“Alright. My investment has been going well so far need
Serena told Elisa that their market should not be limited to Wiltspoon. It had to be expanded to other regions.
After some discussion, Serena and Elisa planned to visit other neighboring cities to do a market survey. They wanted to find out if they could have a piece of the action in other territories.
Remy grinned before he said, “Both of you are talented. Carry on with your work then. I’ll see your tonight.”
After ending the call, Remy shoved his phone back into his pocket and turned around smilingly. Just as he was ready to head to the inpatient ward, he saw his parents coming out. He walked up to them.
“Dad, Mom, are you leaving now?”
“Yes, we’ll leave first. You can stay in the hospital to accompany your brother if you want. Your sister–in–law doesn’t need us to look after her since your brother is doing everything on his own.” -Antonia Young beamed with pleasure.
Antonia’s eldest daughter–in–law did a great job in giving birth to a boy and a girl as her firstborns. From the moment Antonia learned that Jane was pregnant with fraternal twins, she had been grinning from ear to ear.
Finally, Antonia had a granddaughter.
Both she and her husband visited their daughter–in–law and the two babies in the hospital every day.
Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette, as well as the Murphys, came to the hospital several times a day. As mothers, Mrs. Lafayette and Fiona Clayton looked after Jane in the hospital with Ben. They were uneasy even though the Johnsons had arranged for a caregiver to look after Jane.
“I’ll leave with both of you. I’m going to book a flight back to Wiltspoon as there are too many things to take care of at work.”
Remy was not going to enter the inpatient ward. Instead, he planned on leaving the hospital with his parents.
Upon hearing that, Antonia asked Remy with confusion, “Didn’t you say you’d stay home for a longer time? Why did you suddenly want to return to the office? Is there something wrong at work?”
FC & Co. was a large business in Wiltspoon. Although Antonia was not bothered about the business, she clearly knew how the business was going considering that she was the lady of FC Manor.
If anything serious happened to his business in Wiltspoon, her eldest son would have to go on a business trip to settle it.
“Nothing serious. But there are many important things that I have to deal with. I’m going to book my flight now and fly over this afternoon. I’ll be back again to attend the babies‘ sip and see.”
While walking, Antonia looked at her son and asked with a smirk, “It’s probably not something related to the company. It’s because you miss Ms. Stone, right?”
Antonia knew that Remy was interested in Elisa.
Antonia knew that Remy had a target to go after, so she was not worried about his marriage. Remy barely talked to his parents about his love life. He normally shared it with his elder brother. It was through Ben that Antonia learned about it.
She had seen Elisa’s photo. Through Ben and Jane, she found out about Elisa’s character. She was content with this young lady of the Stones.
Given that Remy had not successfully pursued Elisa, Antonia felt that she should not randomly approach Elisa as it might frighten her.
Remy’s handsome face reddened. He answered honestly, “Although I was physically at home over the last few days, my heart has been in Wiltspoon.
He was thinking about Elisa all the time.
He could comprehend the proverb “absence makes the heart grow fonder“.
Antonia guffawed and patted Remy’s shoulder as if she was his buddy. “All the best, Remy. I’ll give you moral support. If you need me to help you with your plans, feel free to let me know. Just give. me a call, and I’ll immediately fly over to help you go after your girlfriend.”
“Mom, am I that useless? I should go after my girlfriend on my own to prove my sincerity.”
“Right. You should do it on your own. Other people can’t help you with this matter. If you don’t have experience with it, you can ask your sister–in–law for tips. She used to write novels with her male leads being expert flirts. Her tips are definitely beneficial for you.”
Remy said with a grin, “I thought you’d ask me to seek help from Ben.”
“You won’t be able to follow Ben’s path to love. He’s extremely conniving. When your sister–in–law was thirteen, he was already targeting her. He had dealt with many of his love rivals before your sister–in–law fell into his trap.
“He doesn’t have any good ways of going after girls. You might as well seek help from Yves.”
Yves had attempted to go after Iris, whereas Ben and Jane got married straight away. Ben did not go through the phase of pursuing Jane, so his experience could not compare with Yves’s.
Antonia and Remy were having a chat during their walk. Soon, they arrived at their car. Mr. Johnson silently opened the car door for his wife without chipping in.
Remy found himself slightly conniving as well.
After having feelings for Elisa, he started to come up with a scheme. When the Stones‘ neighbor wanted to sell their villa, he swiftly bought it before Clive could do so.
His motive was to approach Elisa and see her more often.
His scheme worked. At least Elisa had feelings for him and even argued with Mrs. Stone for his sake.
“It’s okay. I think my method is quite useful.” If Remy really could not come up with a new way of going after Elisa, he would refer to his sister–in–law’s past novels.
As Antonia said, Remy’s sister–in–law used to write novels that contained many ways of flirtation for the male and female leads. He could simply apply two of those ways to his real life, and they should be useful.
Remy was keen on returning to Wiltspoon mainly because he was concerned that Andrew would court Elisa when he was not around.
In fact, Andrew would stay far away from her!
After booking the flight in the car, Remy screenshotted the ticket and sent it to Elisa. This could arrange her time to pick him up.
Elisa did not reply to his message right away.
way, she
This was because her mother finally came to her villa.
While Remy was chatting with his mother in Annenburg, Elisa was opening the door for her mother in Wiltspoon. At the sight of her mother’s solemn expression, Elisa said with a soft and cute voice, “Mom.”
As soon as Mrs. Stone, who initially looked solemn, heard her daughter call her “Mom“, her face relaxed. Filled with anger and sympathy, Mrs. Stone tapped her daughter’s head. “I asked you to out of the car so we could both calm down, yet you’re staying outside and haven’t returned home for a few days.
“I’m worried about you, yet you’re enjoying yourself outside.”
While closing the door of the villa, Elisa said, “I thought you were still mad, so I didn’t dare to return. home to further anger you. That’s why I stayed here for two days and only planned to go home after you’ve calmed down.”
After Elisa closed the door, Mrs. Stone entered the house with her.
“This house is too quiet. Get a few people to watch the house.” During her walk, Mrs. Stone complained that her daughter’s house was too quiet.
The Stones‘ housekeeper would arrange for someone to clean the villa, but no one lived there.
Elisa enjoyed being alone and free without being controlled by anyone.
“I think this is great.”
