Elisa answered, “I think so, but I’ve never met him by chance. The Readings are too low-key.” Remy hummed. He had never paid attention to the Readings either. The Readings’ business was not in Wiltspoon, and there was no collaboration between them and FC & Co. Their whole family kept a low profile, so Remy would not pay attention to them. Now, Remy had to watch out for Mr. Reading. For some reason, he felt that Mr. Reading would become his love rival. Elisa did not know that Remy was already on guard, preventing Mr. Reading from becoming his love rival. She asked Remy, “Are you not going home this holiday?” Remy answered, “It’s just for a few days, so I’m too lazy to go back and forth. Besides, I have to keep an eye on the renovation here.” He looked deeply at Elisa and added, “I’d prefer to go back with you.” Elisa smiled and did not answer. Nothing had happened between the two of them yet. It was still early for them to meet each other’s parents. “I’ll go back

Remy was not bothered by Mrs. Stone’s attitude. He was pursuing his future wife, so he had to be thick-skinned. He still asked with concern, “Mrs. Stone, have you applied ointment to your sprained foot? I also bought a few types of ointments for you. They’re meant for treating sprains and bruises.” After hearing what he said, Elisa opened the few big bags and found a small bag from the pharmacy in one of them. Inside were several bottles of ointments for sprains and bruises. “Remy, we have common ointments for families. My mom’s foot has been treated with it,” Elisa noted. Even so, she was moved by the fact that Remy brought ointments for her mom. Remy valued her family, which meant that he valued her. It turned out that being valued by the opposite sex could give such a warm feeling. When Elisa used to pursue Zachary, he did not even want to see her, let alone value her. Remy said, “As long as some ointment has been used. If it doesn’t help, remember to go to the hospita

Mrs. Stone said to Clive, “If you’re going to talk to Remy, talk to him before it’s too late. Don’t let the two of them fall deeply in love. In particular, your sister still feels uncomfortable when she thinks about Zachary now. Don’t think that I don’t know.” It was just that Zachary became her niece’s husband, so she could not say more. Therefore, Zachary would not come to visit the Stones unless he had to. He would only come for Serenity. Clive said, “Mom, Elisa has let go of Zachary. She’s calm when she faces him now.” Following that, he added, “Mom, was it an accident that you sprained your foot? What’s going on with Andrew? Were you trying to create an opportunity for him and Elisa? Andrew is Zachary’s cousin. Even if the Readings keep a low profile, they’re related to the Yorks by marriage. That’s a hard fact.” Mrs. Stone choked and looked at the door to make sure her daughter would not come in. She responded, “There aren’t many families in Wiltspoon that are well-matc

Zachary found his voice after a cat got his tongue. He said with a smile, “Mr. Johnson, you got me confused here.”“How did Andrew become your rival in love? He broke up with his girlfriend of five years three years ago and has since been single.” Was Remy not in love with Elisa? While Andrew did know Elisa, he had no interaction with the girl whatsoever. Andrew did not have romantic feelings for Elisa, so he was no threat to Remy. “Mr. Reading met Elisa today, so it’s too early to say that he likes her. I’m just a worry wart, but Mrs. Stone’s attitude today gave me something to think about. I’m sorry you have to see me asking around about Mr. Reading.” Zachary was nosy for once. It was mainly because his wife drew close to listen in on the conversation. He asked, “Can you enlighten me on what’s going on, Remy?“What are you interested to know about Andrew?” Remy relayed the whole story to Zachary and said, “The fact is Mr. Reading is your cousin, single, and without a gi

On the other end, Remy continued watching the builders work after the phone call with Zachary. Remy also called the florist for a delivery of a bouquet of roses in the evening. Time passed quickly. The sun went over the horizon. The florist delivered the large bouquet of roses as Remy had ordered. After paying for the flowers, Remy carried the bouquet and took strides to the Stones’ residence. Since the two houses were close by, it only took less than two minutes on foot for Remy to get to the front gate of the Stones’ residence. Remy was about to ring the doorbell when Clive walked out of the house. Ditching the idea of pressing the doorbell, Remy waited for Clive to come over. Two minutes later, Clive stood before Remy. Both were around the same height and imposing in presence. They engaged in a stare-down. “These flowers are… blinding.” Clive broke the silence. Sure, he admired Remy for the man he was, but Clive took a protective stance for Elisa now that Rem
