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
Julian thought that his old man had gone crazy. If he caught Julian looking at someone twice, he would probe about the person, without any care for common sense.The little girl naturally was sent back to her parents, and this matter was kept very well hidden. Very few people in the outside world knew about it.Elisa and others heard about it, but only from Jasmine.So, Walter’s madness made Elisa’s scalp numb.She was in her twenties and unmarried. If Walter knew that Julian gave her flowers and even went to pick her up at the airport, he would probably come over tonight to propose marriage.Elisa messaged Serenity, asking when she was coming back.Serenity then called her.“Elisa, you’re back from your business trip?”“Just got back today. When are you and Grandma May coming back? And Sonny, I miss him so much, is he with you? Get him on the phone.”Elisa really adored Sonny.Every time she heard Sonny’s cutesy voice calling her Aunt Elisa, she would melt into a puddle of w
“Okay.”Serenity ended the call.Sonny and Laurence ran in from outside, one after the other. They were obviously playing a game of tag.The two little guys were sweating, and their faces were flushed red.The two nannies who followed them came in two minutes later, panting. They had most likely been running after the little ones for a while.When they saw Serenity and Jane wiping the two boys’ sweat, the nannies laughed and said, “The two young masters run so fast that we can’t catch up with them.”Serenity wiped her nephew’s sweat and said, “They’re both learning self-defense, so their legs are much better than those of their peers. Even I can barely catch up with them.Serenity also knew kickboxing.Jane said, “I haven’t been able to catch up to Laurence since a long time ago. His movements became swifter since he went with the doctor.”It was the right choice to let Lilian take Laurence.The legendary doctor would not neglect Laurence’s education, and he could teach Laure
When Jane went over to see her son, Grandma May said, “Jane, your little girl is so well-behaved. Such a good girl whether she’s awake or asleep.”Jane picked up her wailing son and laughed when she heard Grandma May’s words. “How could she cry when you’re holding her all day? She never had the tendency to cry.”She dared to say that her daughter’s temperament definitely took after Ben’s.In fact, Chloe’s might even be better than her dad’s.Grandma May smiled. “Serenity and I will be going back to Wiltspoon soon. I don’t know when I’ll be able to see Chloe again after this, so I have to hold her now until I get tired of it.”With her old age, she would most likely not come to FC Manor again.Unless Jane and Ben went to Wiltspoon with their two little darlings in the future, Grandma May would have little chance of seeing the lovely children again.“If I go to Wiltspoon in the future, I’ll bring the twins to visit you.”Remy liked Elisa. When they got married, Jane and Ben would
