Chapter 1642
When admiring someone, all of that person’s shortcomings would turn into strong points. On the other hand, hating someone would cause even that person’s strengths to turn into flaws. “Good evening, Ms. Stone.”Andrew returned Elisa’s greeting with a smile. He looked behind Elisa. There was no sign of Mrs. Stone. It was Mrs. Stone who had invited him over for a meal. He thought she would be present. Mrs. Stone was being too polite. He stopped his car to ask her what had happened simply because he saw her sitting on the floor. He also drove her home afterward. It was a slight effort and no big deal to him. However, she treated Andrew like her life savior. Her excessive enthusiasm and gratitude made him feel pressured. Elisa had also called him countless times to treat him to a meal and repay his kindness. He refused all of them politely. However, Mrs. Stone invited him repeatedly that day. Andrew only agreed to the dinner to regain his peace and quiet. He thought Mrs.

After glancing at Elisa, Andrew said with a smile, “The soup Ms. Stone makes will definitely taste good. However, I don’t really like drinking soup.”Elisa had sent soup over frequently back when she was pursuing his cousin.Andrew was aware of it. Mrs. Stone maintained her smile and said, “You haven’t tried the soup Elisa makes. You’ll like it after tasting it. It’s decided then. Please come to our house for a meal next time.”Andrew grinned. “I’ll definitely go if I have the time.”Only then did Mrs. Stone feel satisfied and stop her attacks. She asked Elisa to order the food. Elisa had the waiter bring the menu. She passed one to Andrew, “You can do the honor, Mr. Reading.”Andrew smiled. “This is the Stone family’s hotel. You must be aware of which dish tastes great. You should order, Ms. Stone. I’m not a picky eater aside from disliking soup.”Actually, he liked drinking soup. Wiltspoonians loved boiling soup. Some people could not even eat without having soup for each

When Remy and Elisa could no longer see Andrew’s car, they prepared to return to the hotel. However, Mrs. Stone walked out of the hotel. “Mrs. Stone,” Remy greeted. Mrs. Stone nodded as a form of acknowledgment. Then, she said to Elisa, “Elisa, can you accompany me to the night market? I haven’t walked around one for a long time.”Elisa looked toward Remy. Remy read the atmosphere and said, “Mrs. Stone, Elisa, I also have some matters to see to. I’ll leave first.”Elisa whispered apologetically, “Remy, please don’t take what my mother did or said to heart.”Remy returned a gaze to reassure her. He was generous and would not resent his mother-in-law for being hard on him. Mrs. Stone walked toward her car. Elisa had no choice but to follow. They sat in the same car while Elisa’s car was left in the parking lot of their hotel. When Elisa got into the car, Mrs. Stone poked her forehead. She told Elisa, “How many times have I told you to keep a distance from Remy? He’s a cu

“Will you and my brothers not seek justice if I were together with Remy and got bullied by the Johnsons?”Elisa returned a question to her mother. “Besides, I’m not someone who’s easily bullied. It has always been me bullying other people.”Mrs. Stone choked for a moment and said, “You can act recklessly in Wiltspoon, and no one will dare to do anything to you. That’s because you have the huge Stone Group behind your back. Clive can back you up and clean up your mess.“If you were to be with Remy, you'd live in Annenburg. Who’ll dote on you and be your shoulder to rely on if you move to a faraway place after marriage?”Elisa argued her case. “Remy’s job is based in Wiltspoon, and he lives here long-term. I’ll be living in Wiltspoon in the future with him as well. Even if we must return to Annenburg, it’ll only be during the festive seasons to accompany his parents.“What trouble can arise from that? Besides, you’re aware of what type of family the Johnsons are. The Johnsons are

However, how Elisa’s parents treated her might not be what she wanted at times.Upon noticing that her mother was quiet, Elisa had no choice but to get out of the car.The moment she did, Mrs. Stone ordered the chauffeur to resume driving.Slightly dazed, the chauffeur turned his head and looked at Mrs. Stone before he said, “Madam, Ms. Stone…”“Since she has legs, she can go home on her own.”Mrs. Stone said indifferently, “If she was still in the car, the two of us would definitely have a blazing row.”By kicking her daughter out of the car, Mrs. Stone believed that it would allow the two of them to calm down.It did not trouble her in the slightest whether her daughter could reach home. Feeling helpless, the chauffeur had no choice but to continue driving.Elisa stood by the roadside, watching her mother’s car leave and soon blend in with the traffic.‘My mom actually abandoned me.’Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Elisa felt aggrieved.She did not bother to return

Andrew’s words caused Zachary to keep a straight face. Zachary stopped mocking his cousin and stared at him solemnly. He asked, “Andrew, are you really in love with Elisa?”“No such thing.”Andrew promptly denied it.“It was only tonight that I was aware of Mrs. Stone’s motive. There were several times she met with accidents on the road, then I bumped into her and sent her home. Now, I suspect that those were her plots.”Andrew was no fool.After realizing Mrs. Stone’s motive, he analyzed it and felt that it was Mrs. Stone’s plot to change meetings with him.Mr. and Mrs. Stone had a great relationship. After they retired, Mr. Stone would follow Mrs. Stone wherever she went.Nevertheless, Mr. Stone did not tag along when Mrs. Stone strolled around. Also, it happened that Mrs. Stone did not carry her phone along when she sprained her ankle. How could there possibly be so many coincidences?“Zack, I know Elisa used to love you and went after you publicly. I won’t get into a relati

Elisa greeted Zachary and Andrew.When Zachary heard Elisa greet him, his lips twitched.Given that Serenity was one year younger than Elisa, she was Elisa’s younger cousin.“Ms. Stone.”Andrew behaved normally.Elisa’s and Andrew’s eyes met. At the same time, they thought, ‘What a coincidence!’The two of them came over spontaneously.“Didn’t Remy accompany you here, Ms. Stone?” Andrew asked Elisa with a smile.Elisa responded, “He has something to attend to, so I asked him to carry on with his work. He’s going back to Annenburg a few days later as his eldest sister-in-law is due to give birth.”Andrew hummed in acknowledgment.Serenity added, “Jane’s estimated due date hasn’t arrived, has it? Yet she’s due so soon.”“That’s what Remy said. I’m not sure either.”“But Jane is pregnant with twins. I heard twins are usually delivered in advance.” Serenity admired Jane who was going to give birth soon.Indeed, Jane had it all. Jane and Serenity were both the eldest missus o

Andrew looked at Elisa who was different from what rumors had said about her. Not wanting to stay any longer, he stood up and was going to take his leave. “Zack, Serenity, I’m leaving now.”“Why don’t you stay for a little while? You can go back after supper.”Serenity tried to persuade Andrew to stay.Andrew laughed and said, “I don’t usually have supper. After each supper, I need to spend a long time working out to maintain a good body shape. Serenity, I’m single, so my image is important.”Serenity grinned. “You’re like your cousin. He doesn’t want to have supper because he also wants to maintain his figure.”Since Andrew is insistent on leaving, Serenity stopped persuading him. She asked Zachary to walk his cousin out.“Seren, can you lend me your car so I don’t have to stay here overnight?”Upon her arrival at Serenity’s house, Elisa impulsively wanted to stay there as she did not want to return home. However, she thought it would be better to borrow a car and stay in her o
