Remy’s eyes looked deeply at Elisa, and he said, “Buying a house is an important matter and has to be taken seriously. I spent a lot of money buying the villa, so of course I have to change it to fit my tastes. I’ll only be able to live comfortably here if I like the design.”Elisa remembered that her family also hired a famous interior designer to come over and tailor the villa according to their tastes. Thus, her family lived here happily over the years.She said in understanding, “You’re right. Since we’ll be neighbors in the future, why don’t you come in for a cup of tea?”Remy did not refuse Elisa’s offer and followed her and Serenity into the house.Clive and his wife were still sitting on the sofa in the living hall. Audrey was there too, concernedly asking her daughter-in-law about something. When she heard the sound of her daughter talking with an unfamiliar man, she looked at the door and saw her daughter and niece inviting a young man inside.Clive saw Remy and stood up

“Mom, Clive, do you feel that Elisa and Mr. Johnson are familiar with each other?”Alice spoke a little earlier. She was just listening and observing.Her little sister-in-law was proud and arrogant, and very few men were able to catch her attention.She was infatuated with Zachary for many years to the point where her eyes and heart were filled with him. It was Alice’s first time seeing Elisa treat a man who was not Zachary so well.Serenity explained, “Elisa and Mr. Johnson met several times. She said that the first time they met was on the road. She blocked his way, but he gave way out of courtesy.”Audrey said faintly, “Mr. Johnson is an exceptional man. The men from his family are as good as the men from the York family. They just live too far away.”Everyone fell silent.Serenity also thought about whether Elisa and Remy would become a couple. Then, she remembered that Remy lived in Annenburg. Audrey only had one daughter and could not bear to let Elisa marry somewhere far

According to inheritance law, John had no right to inherit the house.The two sisters were still alive!“Do you know where to buy bricks and gravel?” Audrey asked with concern.“I got in touch with Ms. Deli the last time I went back. I called her to ask. Her family just rebuilt their house last year, so I got the number of a contractor who transports bricks for her. I can get a truckload of bricks sent to me this weekend itself.”Serenity always thought of getting her parents’ house back.In the past, her sister and she did not have the ability.Now that they did, they naturally wanted to take action. At first, the sisters thought that if their grandparents wanted to live in

Zachary: [So late? Did you manage to walk in the stilettos?]Serenity was stunned and asked: [How did you know I was wearing stilettos?]She was wearing flats when she left the bookstore.Zachary replied honestly: [Elisa took a video of you walking and sent it to me. Thank you, Seren. You’re really working hard.][Thank you for willing to try to fit into my circle for my sake.]Serenity was a laid-back person and usually dressed for comfort. However, she was changing for him. The hardships she had to face broke his heart, yet he was grateful for it. He vowed to spoil her for the rest of his life.Serenity: [So Elisa betrayed me. I must have looked funny walking in heels. I keep wanting to throw them away. Sandals are way more comfortable.]The people in Wiltspoon usually walked around in sandals.[We met Mr. Johnson and invited him to sit down, so we left a little later.]Serenity answered her husband’s earlier question.Zachary was a little surprised and asked: [How did you

“Sorry for imposing, Mr. Dowling.”After all, Mrs. Dowling did not send her an invitation. She came here because her aunt brought her.Mrs. Dowling smiled. “Nonsense, you’re not imposing. It’s our honor to have you here, Mrs. York.”Serenity was holding the birthday gift that Audrey had prepared for Maya. She handed the gift to Audrey, who took it and then passed it to Maya. She said with a smile, “Happy birthday, Ms. Dowling.”Mrs. Dowling quickly said, “Just call her Maya, Mrs. Stone. We’re very happy that you came to Maya’s birthday party. You didn’t have to get her a gift.”She gestured for her daughter to accept the present.The gift was a set of jewelry.Maya took the birthday present and thanked Audrey.Since Audrey only brought her daughter and niece and did not bring her husband, Mr. Dowling asked his wife to accompany them with her two daughters while he went to entertain the other guests.Mrs. Dowling warmly welcomed Audrey and the two cousins into the house.

Mrs. Newman did not care what people thought of her and continued to say, “Mrs. Stone and Ms. Stone are really magnanimous. Their ideal son-in-law was stolen away by some niece, but Mrs. Stone is still able to bring Serenity out and introduce her to everyone.”If it were Mrs. Newman, she would not be able to do it.No matter how close a niece was, how could a niece compare to a daughter?Someone rebuked Mrs. Newman and said, “You should be careful with your words, Mrs. Newman. Mr. York never accepted Ms. Stone’s feelings or promised her anything. It was all Ms. Stone’s wishful thinking. However, it’s true that Ms. Stone is magnanimous. She was in love with Mr. York, but she could let go of him when she found out that he was married. Furthermore, she generously sent her blessings to the couple. It really changed my perception of her.“You can say all that in front of us, but don’t talk about Mrs. York’s identity elsewhere. Mr. York isn’t someone your family can afford to offend.”M

“After spending half an hour in the house, the most I gained was a name card.”Elisa laughed. “That sounds about right. Everyone is in it for profit. Who would want to care about you if there was nothing to gain? What do you want to eat? I’ll go get you some food.”“I saw some delicate pastries earlier. They look delicious. Bring some for me. I ate a little at the store, so I’m not that hungry.”Serenity had a sweet tooth and wanted to try some of the exquisite snacks.In the past, when she accompanied Jasmine and Aunt Rachel to parties, Jasmine and she would just hide in the corner to eat and drink. She liked the pastries the most. They were always much better than the ones she got from stores.“Sure.”Elisa placed her glass of red wine on the small table in front of her and got up to help Serenity get food.A while later, she returned empty-handed, but she was followed by two maids working for the Dowlings. The maids held trays with the food that Elisa had picked out for Seren
