It so happened that Elisa and Remy could get along well. This made Mrs. Stone feel ambivalent about it.
The message that Mrs. Stone had Zack convey to Remy did not seem to work.
Remy still often came over as a neighbor to visit the Stones. He even purposely came during mealtimes. Obviously, he wanted to sponge food off the Stones.
After everyone entered the house, Elisa poured a glass of water for Grandma May.
Remy helped to bring some fruit and dessert over.
Grandma May noticed that Remy had become familiar with the surroundings of the Stones‘ house.
What a cunning kid.
He even left Mrs. Stone feeling helpless.
After all, he had not confessed his love to Elisa and it was normal for him to have familiarized himself with the surroundings of the Stones‘ house considering that he came over frequently.
What was more, Remy was very shameless. He would turn a blind eye to Mrs. Stone’s grim expression and Mr. Stone’s glower. Anyhow, he would brazenly come over as long as Elisa was willing to interact with him.
Among the Stones, Alice was the only one who supported Remy’s idea of getting together with Elisa.
Alice found Remy suitable to be Elisa’s partner.
It was mainly because Remy and Elisa were compatible and had many common topics to talk about.
Elisa used to be depressed when she was infatuated with Zack. There was no response from him, and she was unable to get over him. She mustered her courage to confess her love to him and pursue him bravely. In the end, it was to no avail.
When Elisa got along with Remy, Alice could always hear her laugh, and Elisa’s smile was always bright..
Alice had advised her husband not to stop Remy from pursuing Elisa.
It was because Elisa was genuinely happy when she was together with Remy.
As Elisa’s sister–in–law, Alice did not want Elisa to get married to someone who lived far away either but all she thought about was Elisa’s happiness, so why stop Elisa from marrying Remy if she was happy?
Remy deliberately bought the villa beside the Stones house. He had his villa renovated based on Elisa’s preference.
Remy asked Elisa for advice and opinion on the layout of his garden. In fact, he wanted to design it based on her preference.
“Old Mrs. York, are you here today for Seren’s wedding matters?”
Mrs. Stone waited for Grandma May to finish drinking her water before asking her. She wanted to know Grandma May’s objective for coming over.
She thought that the Yorks planned to bring forward the wedding.
Now, Liberty was still in the hospital. Mrs. Stone was Serena’s aunt, so she was considered an elder. If the Yorks planned to bring forward the wedding, Grandma May could discuss it with Mrs. Stone.
“It’s too early for Seren to prepare for her wedding now. Anyway, I don’t need to worry about it. Zack will make preparations for it on his own. He’s not even ready for family support.”
Grandma May glanced at River and smiled tenderly, “It’s River’s birthday next Saturday. I planned to hold a birthday party for him. I’d like you to join us.”
While speaking, Grandma May took out an invitation card and handed it to Mrs. Stone.
“Drey, this is the invitation card. Come with your family to gather with us that day. Our families hardly get together. We’ll be relatives in the future. We need to interact more so we can be close.”
Mrs. Stone took the card and said with a smile, “Old Mrs. York, you’re right. We need to interact more so we can be close. None of the relatives can develop close relationships if they don’t interact with each.
other.”
Grandma May then gave Remy an invitation card too.
Mrs. Stone opened the invitation and took a look at it. After that, she said to Grandma May, “Alice is probably the only one in our family who won’t be joining the party. She’s experiencing serious reactions to pregnancy, and she feels sleepy easily. Except for Alice, all of us will attend.”
She turned her eyes to River and said gently, “Congratulations, River.”
River grasped the significance of her message. Similarly, he smiled gently at her. “Thank you, Mrs. Stone.
“I’ll play poker with you whenever I’m free in the future.” Mrs. Stone agreed with Grandma May.
Regardless of their past relationship, they had become relatives.
Relatives only got closer if everyone visited each other more.
Mrs. Stone was a representative of Serena’s family. She had to support Serena. Additionally, she needed to have more frequent interactions with the York family to prevent people from saying Serena. was not on good terms with her in–laws.
“Okay.”
Grandma May agreed happily.
“Let’s go and have our meal,” Mrs. Stone said again.
Grandma May gave a hum of approval. She only stood up after Mrs. Stone got up.
Elisa was the closest person to Grandma May. She went forward to help her.
Grandma May only let Elisa support her slightly. She smiled. “I can still walk swiftly without a walking cane.”
She did have a walking cane, but it was used to hit people. It could be due to her practicing martial arts and having a special identity back when she was young that made her body healthy.
Her daughters–in–law could not even beat her when they went hiking.
“You won’t have to use a walking cane even after eight to ten years, Grandma May.” Elisa smiled and added, “After Serena and the rest have children, the children will start climbing around. When that time comes, you might have to use a walking cane. It’ll be used to chase after those naughty kids.”
Grandma May imagined the scene of her holding a walking cane and chasing her great–grandchildren. She beamed from ear to ear.
She patted Elisa’s hand.
Elisa looked toward her.
“There are many good men around. Feel with your heart. You’ll find that the person who suits you best is right by your side.”
Grandma May whispered to Elisa secretly and did not let anyone hear her. After speaking, she also glanced at Remy.
Mrs. Stone did not invite Remy to join the meal, but he was already used to scrounging food. He did not need Mrs. Stone’s invitation. He automatically followed the Stones into the dining hall.
The maids did not dare refuse Remy his utensils.
With Elisa present, Mrs. Stone would not show Remy that she was unhappy. She would be less than enthusiastic at most.
Elisa was taken aback. Under Grandma May’s hint, she glanced at Remy too.
The old lady patted the back of Elisa’s hand again.
It was not that the feisty girl of the Stone family did not match Grandma May’s tastes. Instead, the girl was not to the liking of her grandsons. Therefore, Grandma May never considered Elisa when picking out granddaughters–in–law.
Moreover, the Stones and the Yorks used to be business rivals.
If it were not for Serena suddenly becoming Mrs. Stone’s niece, the two families‘ relationship would never ease.
Elisa had been obsessed with Zack for many years. After discovering Zack and Serena’s relationship, everyone witnessed her reaction and performance. That girl was clear–headed.
Serena sincerely hoped Elisa could find her happiness.
