Serenity called Callum. When Callum picked up the call, she said, “Callum, Camryn has changed her number. I went to her flower shop twice this morning but didn’t see her. Have you seen her?”Callum answered, “I’m waiting for her at Beans and Cream to send me flowers.”He had no idea what Camryn’s new number was as the shop assistant refused to tell him. He had no choice but to recall the number for Spring Blossoms. Then, he got the store manager of Beans and Cream to phone Spring Blossoms to have Camryn send the flowers over.He would only be able to see her by doing so.“Is Camryn going there alone?”“Another worker is sending her over by an electric scooter. Thank you, Serenity.” Although Serenity had not been able to see Camryn and speak up for Callum in front of her, she had visited Spring Blossoms twice in the morning. This touched Callum and made him feel that Serenity was concerned about his matter.“Don’t mention it. We’re family. When you see her, don’t frighten her ag
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 Zachary 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 wa
“Do you still get morning sickness, Ally? You’re three months along, right?” Old Mrs. York asked out of concern.Alice, who was sitting nearby, answered, “Yes, it’s been three months. I still get morning sickness about half an hour after eating. I only feel more comfortable after vomiting. My mom said I might have to deal with morning sickness until I give birth.”Although Alice had terrible morning sickness and felt awful every time she vomited, it did not stop her from loving the baby in her womb. She would be able to feel fetal movement after some time. When Alice hit three months, she went to the hospital for a checkup and ultrasound scan. She saw the doctor’s report. The doctor said her baby’s fetal movement was ideal. However, she could not feel the movements as they were still subtle.According to books, fetal movements could be felt after sixteen weeks. As the fetus grew, the movements would become more detectable. Back then, Clive had wanted her to abort the child.
“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 Serenity’s family. She had to support Serenity. Additionally, she needed to have more frequent interactions with the York family to prevent people from saying Serenity 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
After the meal, Grandma May and Mrs. Stone had a chat before the former left the Stones’ residence with River. Everyone saw the grandmother and grandchild out. After River drove away with Grandma May, Mrs. Stone turned to look around. When she saw Remy, she pressed her lips together. Ultimately, she did not say anything and went back into the house. Alice had to take a nap after having a meal. Mr. Stone went to accompany his wife. Elisa and Remy were the only ones left in the garden “Do you want to go for a walk?” Elisa asked. He smiled gently. “It’s said that taking a walk after meals promotes longevity.”Elisa looked toward his smiling face. He gave off a gentle and elegant aura. Whenever he talked to her, he would have a gentle smile. That smile felt like the spring breeze, soft and warm. They walked out of the Stones’ manor. In one of the rooms on the second floor, Mrs. Stone stood by the window. She watched her lovely daughter walk outside with Remy. She said to
Elisa had no clue that her family was worried about her being taken away by Remy. After she and Remy left the villa, they walked slowly along the concrete road. Usually, Elisa would enter and exit the villa in a car. She had never admired the scenery around the villa properly before. “After living here for so many years, I just found out that the scenery here is quite pretty. The greenery is great, and there are many benches by the road for people to sit and rest if they’re tired. There are also gazebos built within certain distances of each other.”There was a garden upon entering the vast area of the villas. It was filled with lush green trees. It also had fitness equipment and a children’s playground.The Stones had bought a few smaller villas and connected them to build a bigger villa. They had a complete range of sports and entertainment facilities. Therefore, Elisa rarely walked around the garden in the estate area. In her own words, she simply glanced at the passing sc
Elisa sat on the bench. “That’s great. I can’t stand the provocation from seeing you people being lovey-dovey now. I feel jealous every time I see Serenity and Jasmine.”“Elisa, you don’t have to be envious of them. You’ll be as happy as they are in the future.”“Who can be certain about the future? However, if I were to be unhappy, I wouldn’t compromise. If my future husband doesn’t treat me well, I’ll divorce him and return to my family. My two brothers can support me for the rest of my life.”The confidence of a married woman came from her family’s support. Elisa felt that her family was very supportive. “That won’t happen. Your in-laws will be great people.”Remy felt the elders in his family were nice. No one would make things difficult for their daughter-in-law.“Let’s stop talking about me. Tell me. Who’s the lady on your mind? It must be someone from Wiltspoon, right? Did you buy a house here because of her?”Remy nodded and admitted it honestly. “Yes. I did it for
“Remy, allow me to consider this.”Neither did Elisa reject nor accept him immediately—she wanted to think about it. Remy said understandingly, “I know. You can take your time. I’m not in a rush. Even if you reject me, I’m willing to wait for the day you can accept me.”Elisa smiled. “I just find it too sudden.”“I was abrupt,” Remy said apologetically. He thought that since everyone could already sense his feelings for Elisa, it would not be suitable to keep delaying his confession. Since Elisa asked about it, he immediately confessed. He loved her, so he had to let her know his feelings for her. Not everyone could feel others’ love for them. Silence fell between them. After sitting for a while, Elisa stood up and said, “Let’s go back.”“Okay.”When they headed out, they chatted and laughed. However, both of them did not talk much on the way back. It was Elisa who did not wish to speak. After returning to the Stones’ house, Remy did not linger too long and retur
