In order to cure Julian, his father looked everywhere for a girl who was ten years younger than him and arranged for him to have a blind date with those girls. His father told him to pursue those girls and see which one he had a reaction to.A girl ten years younger than him would only be twenty-four this year. That was very young.Julian was the same age as Duncan. They were some of the older bachelors in Wiltspoon high society, but Duncan was a year or two older than him.It was Grandma May’s trusted psychic that told his father that the girl who could make him a real man was ten years younger than him. However, the psychic did not say the girl’s name and appearance, so his father had to look for all the girls aged twenty-four.Julian did not believe that at all.Was there really such an amazing psychic?Julian reached out to pull Remy, and Remy followed him passively.Elisa was speechless.Were they not here to pick her up?Why were they going by themselves and leaving her
Remy smiled wryly. “Mr. Bucham, your actions scare me more than the sky falling down.”“As I’ve mentioned, I just want to pursue Ms. Stone, and I’m competing fairly with you. You have to work harder. If I really manage to win over Ms. Stone, then you’ll only suffer. After all, I have advantages over you. I’m from Wiltspoon.”Remy was speechless.Although Julian did not really like Elisa, he found this matter a bit interesting. It was not a bad idea to use it to kill time when he was bored.“Let’s go.”Julian walked forward again.Remy and Elisa followed him.Elisa comforted Remy. “No matter what he’s planning, he doesn’t really like me. You don’t have to worry.”“How can I not worry? Andrew hasn’t appeared for a while, but now Julian suddenly popped up. Does Mrs. Stone dislike me that much?” Remy felt pressure at the emergence of another strong love rival.He suspected that Julian was another love rival arranged by Audrey.Andrew was already enough to make Remy feel a sense o
The servant went to open the gate.The two cars drove into the Stone family’s large villa.Audrey and Alice only recognized Remy’s car, but not Julian’s car.They rarely even saw Julian himself, let alone his car.When Julian got out of the car and Audrey and Alice walked over, only then did Audrey realize that one of the men was Julian.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Stone.”Julian greeted Audrey with a bright smile when he saw her coming.“Mr. Bucham.”Audrey smiled and said, “What wind blows you here to our doorstep today? What a rare quest. Please, come in.”“Even if you didn’t invite me in, I would have shamelessly entered to ask for a glass of water.”Julian turned around and took out the bouquet he bought for Elisa from the car.The bouquet that Elisa was holding now was from Remy, who also took her suitcase first, so Julian did not have to help her take them.“Mrs. Stone, Alice.”Remy ignored Audrey’s enthusiasm toward Julian and greeted them politely.Julian greeted Alice
Julian’s words and actions left Audrey feeling disbelief.Julian said that he carefully prepared that bouquet with Elisa in mind!What was going on?After Julian did that, he ignored everyone’s reaction and said to Audrey, “Mrs. Stone, I’ll go in for a glass of water. I won’t stay long.”Audrey snapped back to her senses. Regardless of what Julian’s motive was, she first invited him into the house.Alice personally poured a glass of warm water for him.She and Audrey sat together and looked at Julian, who was drinking the warm water. Then, when Elisa and Remy entered, their gazes turned to the couple instead. In short, their gaze flickered between the three people.Audrey was the elder, so Julian had to show her some respect. She could not help but ask for clarification.She asked Julian, “Mr. Bucham, what did you mean by that earlier? Why did you come back with Elisa? You also said that you carefully prepared the bouquet with Elisa in mind?”“I heard that Elisa was returning
Julian put down his glass and left right after telling Audrey he was leaving.He patted Remy’s shoulder as he passed by him.Immediately, Remy told Audrey, “Mrs. Stone, I’ll see Julian out.”He wanted to find out what Julian was up to.Audrey did not say anything and agreed silently.Remy turned around and followed Julian out of the house after he handed the suitcase to Elisa.Once outside, he questioned Julian, “Julian, I know you’re not really going after Elisa. Can you tell me why you’re doing this?”Julian stopped, turned his head to look at him, and laughed. “I can’t tell you right now, but Remy, if you don’t step up and take Elisa soon, someone might steal her away from you.“If you can get engaged to her, you won’t have to worry.”Remy said with a bitter smile, “Do you think I don’t want to? Mrs. Stone is very stubborn. She still doesn’t approve of me and Elisa. We’re both working hard, but no matter what, I won’t give up on Elisa.“Julian, whatever your reasons are fo
Julian was helping Andrew to bear the blame, so it would be natural for Andrew to help him unconditionally.Even without Julian reminding him, Remy would not spread it around. It would not do him any good to circulate the matter either.Remy stood at the entrance of the villa as he watched Julian drive away into the distance.He would go back and seek help from his parents and siblings when his niblings’ one-hundred-day celebration came around.Originally, Remy wanted to rely on his sincerity and genuine feelings to slowly get Audrey to accept him.Remy also told Ben that he was not afraid of hardships. As long as his feelings for Elisa were genuine, Audrey would eventually accept the reality.Remy also felt that pursuing a wife was something he had to do on his own. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not want to ask his parents and siblings for help.If Audrey still refused to accept him, it meant that he had not done well enough yet. Even if he asked his parents and
Upon seeing Remy enter, Audrey remained silent with a stern expression.Remy sensed that the atmosphere in the room was different, and knew that Elisa and Audrey probably had another quarrel while he was seeing Julian off.He pretended not to know what was going on and walked back to Elisa. He told Audrey, “Mrs. Stone, Julian has left.”After pursing her lips, Audrey finally replied, “I see. Did you ask him what he meant?”“Julian did not speak the truth.”Remy answered honestly, “He asked us to keep it a secret from Mr. Bucham, so as not to let him come and propose marriage.”Audrey teased him, “You’re honest to a fault. Parroting whatever Julian said without missing a word. Aren’t you worried I might agree to Mr. Bucham’s proposal?”“Mom.”Elisa immediately spoke up. “I only love Remy. We are in love with each other. Even if Mr. Bucham comes to propose, I won’t agree. You marry him then, if you agree to his proposal.”Audrey was silent.Elisa took out her phone and called h
Remy smiled and said, “I won’t blame Mrs. Stone. She is worried and can’t bear to part with you. It’s because I haven’t done enough and not well enough to make her feel at ease about entrusting you to me.“I will keep trying my best.”As the two got in the car, Remy asked her, “Where do you want to eat?”“I’ll eat wherever you take me.”Remy smiled, she trusted him completely.He started the car and drove away.Elisa said again, “After we eat, can you accompany me to Wiltspoon School? Seren and Jasmine’s bookstore has recently opened. Jasmine is bored at home, and the market is far from the city. Josh won’t let her go to the market, so she opened the bookstore early.”Jasmine, the gem of the Sox family, would even go back to the bookstore to pass time, even if there was not much business. She would visit other stores every day to chat.“Okay,” he replied.“Josh and Julian are cousins and have a good relationship. Perhaps Josh knows why he did this. Once he knows, Jasmine will
