After hearing what he said, Elisa opened the few big bags and found a small bag from the pharmacy in one of them. Inside were several bottles of ointments for sprains and bruises.
“Remy, we have common ointments for families. My mom’s foot has been treated with it,” Elisa noted. Even so, she was moved by the fact that Remy brought ointments for her mom.
Remy valued her family, which meant that he valued her.
It turned out that being valued by the opposite sex could give such a warm feeling.
When Elisa used to pursue Zack, he did not even want to see her, let alone value her.
Remy said, “As long as some ointment has been used. If it doesn’t help, remember to go to the hospital and do a scan to see if her bones are injured.”
Mrs. Stone remained indifferent and responded, “There’s no need to do a scan. I only sprained it, so I just need to rest for a while and apply more ointment tomorrow. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Johnson.”
Remy hummed. After Elisa sat, he sat next to her-and that irritated Mrs. Stone.
“Mr. Johnson, your house is still being renovated, so a lot is going on, right? I’m fine, so you can do what you need. Thanks for visiting me and bringing me so many supplements. We have plenty at home, but I appreciate your kindness.
“Clive, see Mr. Johnson out.”
Mrs. Stone did not want to see her daughter sitting together with Remy, so she simply asked him to leave.
Remy kept a gentle smile. Mrs. Stone could not help but admire his strong mentality. Although he was a favored child, he still maintaine his good manners and smiled when she treated him coldly and gave him a long face.
“Mrs. Stone, your supplements belong to your family, whereas these are small gifts from me. I hope you don’t mind them.
“My house is still under renovation, so I’ll come and take a look every day. That said, I can’t help with anything and can only ask the renovator to follow my instructions. It’s fine for me to step away sometimes. After all, I’ve given the drawings to the renovator.”
Mrs. Stone’s face tensed up.
“Mom, Remy came to see you out of kindness. He hasn’t even had a glass of water yet.”
Elisa had not accepted Remy’s feelings, but she had always treated him as a friend. The two of them got along very well. She could not help but defend him when her mom showed him a bad attitude.
Mrs. Stone opened her mouth and finally ordered the maid, “Bring Mr. Johnson a glass of warm water
She could not go overboard in front of her daughter and could only glare at Remy.
Despite that, Remy was thick-faced. No matter how Mrs. Stone glared at him, he was calm and did not change his expression.
Since Elisa had spoken, even if Clive wanted to send Remy out, he could only sit still for the time being.
Clive was hoping that Remy would feel that his ego was bruised and would leave on his own.
His hope was doomed to fail.
Remy did not feel that his ego was hurt.
Remy recalled when his big brother and sister-in-law received their marriage license. When his sister-in- law knew his brother’s true identity, her mom also tried everything to persuade them to divorce. Even so, Remy’s brother did not feel that his ego was damaged and used his actions to prove his sincerity.
Remy’s brother and sister-in-law were able to be in love now after his brother got rid of his mother-in-
law’s worries.
It was not Remy’s first day receiving cold looks from Mrs. Stone. She had not been the nicest to him since she realized that he had other intentions.
Mrs. Stone would normally be careful about not letting Elisa know, but she no longer cared. Remy believed that Mrs. Stone must be determined to stop him and Elisa from getting together.
It would be a long and arduous journey for Remy to pursue his future wife.
Remy elegantly drank the glass of warm water. He did not forget to care for Mrs. Stone.
It took him half an hour to finish the glass of water.
He said after putting the glass down, “Mrs. Stone, excuse me. I’ll head back and supervise the renovator’s work now.”
Elisa was worried that Remy would feel upset about her mom suddenly treating him with indifference. She got up and said, “Mom, I’ll see Remy out.”
Mrs. Stone wanted to say something but kept mum in the end. She watched with a tense face as her daughter sent Remy out.
As for the supplements and ointments brought by Remy, once he left the main house, Mrs. Stone instructed her son and daughter-in-law, “Clive, Ally, throw away all the things Remy brought. They annoy me.”
Alice said, “Mom, Mr. Johnson did it out of kindness. He and Elisa are friends, and he’s also our new neighbor. It was nice of him as a neighbor to send you some ointments when he found out that you sprained your foot. It won’t be a good idea to throw them away, will it?”
Clive said, “I see that Elisa and Remy get along very well and that she also defends him. Mom, if you ask us to throw everything away, Elisa won’t be happy when she finds out.”
Mrs. Stone said with a dark face, “Remy is clearly trying to snatch your sister away, and yet you’re giving him face.”
“Mom, I’m also reluctant for Elisa to be married far away, but let her deal with her relationships on her own. I believe she can handle it. Elisa has been hurt before, and it was hard for her to click with Remy, so let’s give him a chance.”
Clive could not bear to see her sister married off to a distance, but he also thought that Remy was a good match for her.
“If you can’t bear to see it happen, we must break their love before they fall deeper into it. Elisa’s love for Zack hurt her very much. How many times has she cried in front of you?”
“Mom, this is different. Zack never liked Elisa, much less promised her anything. On the other hand, Remy likes Elisa and confessed to her. I think that she has feelings for him as well.”
Mrs. Stone said persistently, “I don’t care. In any case, I won’t let Elisa get married to Annenburg. Break them off while they’ve just started to develop feelings for each other.”
Remy had confessed to Elisa, but Elisa had not accepted his feelings.
Mrs. Stone thought that it was not too late to break them off at this time.
Moreover, she must not waste her effort in arranging for Andrew and Elisa to meet. Of course, only she and her husband knew about the plan.
Mrs. Stone had filtered the young, talented, and handsome men in Wiltspoon. She thought the Readings and the Stones were well-matched. Although Andrew was Zack’s cousin, Andrew kept a low profile. If he did not reveal it, nobody would know that he was Zack’s cousin.
Nothing happened between Elisa and Zack anyway, and it was all in the past. Mrs. Stone thought that Andrew would not mind. After all, everyone had their past.
“Clive, I asked you to talk to Remy. Have you spoken to him yet?”
Mrs. Stone looked at her son.
Clive answered, “Mom… I’m very busy. I haven’t found the time to talk to him, but I’ll go and talk to him in person later.”
Mrs. Stone said to Clive, “If you’re going to talk to Remy, talk to him before it’s too late. Don’t let the two of them fall deeply in love. In particular, your sister still feels uncomfortable when she thinks about Zack now. Don’t think that I don’t know.”
It was just that Zack became her niece’s husband, so she could not say more.
Therefore, Zack would not come to visit the Stones unless he had to. He would only come for Serena.
Clive said, “Mom, Elisa has let go of Zack. She’s calm when she faces him now.”
Following that, he added, “Mom, was it an accident that you sprained your foot? What’s going on with Andrew? Were you trying to create an opportunity for him and Elisa? Andrew is Zack’s cousin. Even if the Readings keep a low profile, they’re related to the Yorks by marriage. That’s a hard fact.”
Mrs. Stone choked and looked at the door to make sure her daughter would not come in. She responded, “There aren’t many families in Wiltspoon that are well-matched with us. Andrew is Zack’s cousin, but they’re of the same age. He’s only a few months younger than Zack, but he’s mature, calm, and gentle. “Andrew and Remy are the same type of person. Since Elisa can get along well with Remy, she can definitely get along with Andrew. She and Zack didn’t really have a past since he never liked her nor promised her anything.
“Andrew must be aware of all this. As long as he likes Elisa, I think it’ll be good for them to get together. As long as it’ll stop her and Remy from getting together.”
Mrs. Stone looked at the door again and lowered her voice much more as she continued, “I’m going to do another screening to see which other families have young and handsome guys who are suitable for Elisa. I’ll arrange for a few more people to pursue her even if it’s an act.
“It’ll be best if we can stop Remy and Elisa from getting together. Even if she accepts him in the end and wants to be with him, he’ll be pressured and nervous if he has a few love rivals. In that case, Remy will treasure Elisa more in the future.”
Clive was speechless.
He had thought that his mom was overpraising Andrew just now. Sure enough, it was something she set up to prevent Elisa from getting married far away. Andrew and Elisa were dragged into the plan.
