Chapter 1518
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

Elisa laughed. She said, “I’m only a nice girl to you guys. Others say I’m the wild daughter of a rich family. Those madames never considered having me as their daughter-in-law. They think they can’t control a daughter-in-law like me.”She would not be suppressed. Her family was strong. The usual wealthy families truly did not consider having Elisa as a daughter-in-law. Men of equal social standing to her were married or younger than her. She would never consider dating a younger man. “That’s because they have bad eyes and blindly follow other people’s opinions. They believed the rumors without trying to understand you. When Serenity and I first met you, we thought you were an honest, straightforward person.”Jasmine returned to the kitchen to prepare the juice. “Elisa, you’re really great. We’re not deceiving you with sweet words just because we’re friends.”Elisa entered the kitchen.She watched as Jasmine blended the juice. “Can you tell me who confessed to you? Is it

Elisa said with a grin, “Speak of the devil.“Jasmine made pear juice. She said she’ll make you a cup because she thinks you’ll be back soon. You came in just after she spoke. Luckily, we were not talking about you behind your back.”Serenity laughed. “Jasmine must’ve heard my footsteps.”Jasmine passed the blended juice to the girls. Serenity held the juice and went to the cashier counter. After putting the juice down, she moved the small dining table she and Jasmine usually used for meals over. The three of them sat around the table with their glass of juice. “Seren, did you go to Spring Blossoms to look for Ms. Newman?”Elisa asked, “How’s she now? She’s amazing. She managed to sue her stepfather and mother even though she’s blind.”“I went to get flowers for Zachary. I didn’t see Camryn. She was gone for the entire day. The store employee said she would tell Camryn to call me after she returned. Camryn hasn’t been contacting me, and she switched phone numbers.”After ta
Chapter 1524
As long as Elisa did not get married, Serenity would always feel that she had stolen Elisa’s happiness. Elisa liked Zachary so much, yet it was Serenity who got married to him. Therefore, Serenity sincerely hoped Elisa could quickly find her significant other. She would only feel better if Elisa found her happiness. Elisa had never blamed Serenity. She did not think Serenity had snatched Zachary away from her. Elisa said she and Zachary were destined to meet but not fated to be together. It had nothing to do with Serenity. It was a fact that Zachary did not love her. Even without Serenity, other women would still appear. Elisa would rather Serenity than other people. She had said smugly before that Zachary even had to acknowledge her as his cousin after being with Serenity. She was secretly happy that she could make that arrogant cold man bow down and call her his cousin. “Seren.”Elisa held Serenity’s hand. “Don’t feel guilty for me. You didn’t do me any wrong.”

Josh said, “Don’t you have a business dinner tonight?”He changed the topic. It was to prevent Zachary from talking about the flowers again. Zachary made it look as if Josh had never received flowers. “I’m going to pick my wife up. She’s accompanying me tonight.”Josh hummed in acknowledgment. “I’m going to take a break after working for another week.”It would be his and Jasmine’s wedding soon. Zachary said, “Isn’t there still half a month until the wedding day?”As Josh walked outside with Zachary, he said, “Half a month is only two weeks. Can’t I take a break a week in advance?” He could not possibly work up till the day of his wedding, right?Zachary had nothing to say about that. “Mr. York, Mr, Bucham.”Everyone greeted them respectfully as they walked out. “Shall we leave together?”Josh was walking toward Zachary’s car. Zachary asked him that question with raised eyebrows. “I have to bring my wife home to have dinner and then visit the house we’ll live i
