Chapter 1650
Remy flew back to Annenburg the next afternoon. Two days after he returned to Anneburg, Jane gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins.Remy instantly phoned Elisa to share his joy with her.This was not his first time being an uncle but it was different this time.Previously, he became an uncle to his cousin’s child.This time around, he was an uncle to his brother’s children.When Elisa picked up his call, she was still staying in her house. She did not return to the Stones’ residence.After Mrs. Stone found out from Serenity that Elisa was staying in her own house, she did not take the initiative to call Elisa. There was a deadlock between Mrs. Stone and Elisa. Seemingly, they gave each other the silent treatment.Mrs. Stone felt that she was right—it was her daughter who was immature, unfilial, and disobedient.On the other hand, Elisa found her mother stubborn. Remy had gotten things squared away, yet Mrs. Stone remained resolute just because Remy was not a Wiltspoonian.“T

“I need to return to the office because there’s a lot of work to address.”When letting out a sigh of relief, Remy decided to return to Wiltspoon in the afternoon.Having a lot of pending work was one of the reasons he wanted to return to Wiltspoon. However, the main reason was that being in Wiltspoon allowed him to protect Elisa easily.“What time will you arrive? Do you want me to pick you up?”When Remy returned to Annenburg, he would usually take a private jet. It was only when his brothers used his family’s private jet that he would book a flight ticket.Upon hearing that Elisa wanted to pick him up, he discarded the idea of taking a private jet.He said, “After booking a flight ticket, I’ll screenshot it for you.”“Alright. Let’s have dinner together.”Remy was pleased. “Sure.”“I’ll carry on with my work first.”Remy said reluctantly, “Okay. Take care and don’t overwork yourself. Just let me know if you need my help.”“Alright. My investment has been going well so far

Antonia knew that Remy had a target to go after, so she was not worried about his marriage. Remy barely talked to his parents about his love life. He normally shared it with his elder brother. It was through Ben that Antonia learned about it.She had seen Elisa’s photo. Through Ben and Jane, she found out about Elisa’s character. She was content with this young lady of the Stones.Given that Remy had not successfully pursued Elisa, Antonia felt that she should not randomly approach Elisa as it might frighten her.Remy’s handsome face reddened. He answered honestly, “Although I was physically at home over the last few days, my heart has been in Wiltspoon.” He was thinking about Elisa all the time.He could comprehend the proverb “absence makes the heart grow fonder”.Antonia guffawed and patted Remy’s shoulder as if she was his buddy. “All the best, Remy. I’ll give you moral support. If you need me to help you with your plans, feel free to let me know. Just give me a call, and I’

“This house is too quiet. Get a few people to watch the house.” During her walk, Mrs. Stone complained that her daughter’s house was too quiet.The Stones’ housekeeper would arrange for someone to clean the villa, but no one lived there.Elisa enjoyed being alone and free without being controlled by anyone.“I think this is great.”Elisa would like to keep to the status quo.Mrs. Stone shot a glance at her daughter. She did not want to keep arguing over the topic with her.“I’m attending a charity gala tonight. Come with me.”“Mom, you know I’ve always disliked attending galas. You can get Seren or Liberty to accompany you there.”Mrs. Stone could not help but poke Elisa’s head. “You’re now a businesswoman. It’s important to socialize. If you don’t socialize, how are you going to do business? If you’re able to do business in Wiltspoon, it’s all because of your brother’s reputation. Other people are willing to do it for the sake of our family’s status. “Thankfully, the vegetab

“Seren, I just got pregnant and will only deliver the baby eight to nine months later. The thought of being raised like a pig by Josh gives me a headache.”Seren smiled and said, “You’re taking things for granted.”Jasmine answered, “I’ll say this to you one day.”Serenity came back in while holding Sonny’s hand. After Sonny greeted Jasmine, he climbed onto a chair and sat on it. Jasmine stretched out her hand to touch Sonny’s face. “Although I’m pregnant, I’m being strictly controlled. I don’t have any freedom. If I can give birth to a cute baby like Sonny, it’ll be worth it.”“Isn’t it a baby boy in your stomach, Jazz?” Sonny asked innocently.Upon hearing that, Jasmine exchanged glances with Serenity before she said to Sonny, “Sonny, isn’t it a baby girl in my stomach?”Jasmine wanted a daughter.Sonny’s big eyes twinkled before he replied, “I don’t know.”The question escaped Sonny’s mouth instinctively.“I just got pregnant, so it’s not known whether the baby is a boy o

“Are you going home to get ready?” After pouring her heart out, Jasmine asked her best friend.Serenity responded, “I’ll send Sonny home first. He said he missed me after his class ended, so Jim sent him over.”She had to accompany her husband to attend the charity gala at night, so it was inconvenient for her to bring Sonny along.“Hurry up and leave. I’ll be here to watch the store. It’s been a long time since I last sat here. I wonder if those little monkeys miss me.”Jasmine referred to students as little monkeys.“Should I inform Mr. Bucham that you’re here watching the store?”Jasmine said, “No need. He knows about it. Look at that row of bodyguards. Even if I don’t tell him, won’t they do it? Josh won’t stop me from watching the store. All I do is use the cash register.”Serenity laughed. “Fine. You stay here and watch the store. I’ll send Sonny back.”“Go ahead.”Serenity held her nephew and left the bookstore.After Serenity left, Jasmine immediately headed to the ki

The bodyguards knew that Jasmine was not the sort who would put on airs. She meant it when she said she wanted to treat them to ice cream. Even if Josh found out, he would not tell them off.Boris headed to the shop Jasmine had mentioned to buy ice cream.After Boris left, Jasmine went into the store to wait for him. She was internally excited at the thought that she could eat ice cream soon.Boris came back shortly.However, he returned empty-handed.He gave the change to Jasmine.“Where’s ice cream?” Jasmine asked in puzzlement.Could it be that Perry’s shop had no more ice cream? That was not possible. During winter, Jasmine would always see ice cream in the freezer in his shop.“I’ve bought ice cream, and they’re having it now. I came to return the change to you. Missus, thank you for treating us to ice cream.”Boris returned the change to Jasmine and thanked her for the treat on everyone’s behalf.It felt refreshing to eat ice cream on a hot day.While receiving the cha

Sonny immediately called Camryn once again. This time, he roared.Camryn finally recovered from her musings.She panicked a little and extended her hand to touch Sonny. After reaching for Sonny, she revealed a gentle smile. “Sonny, you’re here. Did you come with your mom?”Liberty would sometimes drop by Spring Blossoms to buy a few plants.The flowers that Liberty grew always ended up dead probably because she did not have time to take care of them. When they died, she would buy a few more plants and ask Camryn for advice on how to take care of them.“I came with Aunt Ser. Cammy, you didn’t notice that Aunt Ser and I came in. I called you just now, but you didn’t respond.”Camryn replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Sonny. I was lost in thought, so I didn’t hear your aunt’s and your footsteps.”She turned her eyes to Serenity. “Hello, Serenity. What brings you here?”“I’ll be going with Zachary to a charity gala tonight, so I planned to close the store in the afternoon to get r
