Mrs. Stone laughed and said, “This is good news. She got lucky right after her wedding.” “The entire Bucham family is excited. Mr. Bucham is super nervous. He’s even treating Jasmine like a national treasure.”Mrs. Stone smiled. “That’s natural. Josh is the first to marry in his generation, so the baby in Jasmine’s belly will be the first grandchild. It’s a given that the Buchams will treat this seriously.”The first child always brought a lot of anticipation and priority.“How’s Seren?” Mrs. Stone thought about her niece, who was not pregnant yet. Jasmine had gotten pregnant during her honeymoon. Mrs. Stone was worried her niece would be upset. Elisa recalled Serenity’s reaction. She said, “She looked normal. You don’t have to worry about her, Mom. She has an open mind now and is going with the flow. She’s no longer in a rush to get pregnant.“Besides, we’re so busy. She doesn’t have the time and effort to think about having a child.”In the past, Serenity only had to watch o

“Mom, I’m at our family’s hotel now. I’m in private room number 23.”Elisa had no choice but to tell her mother that she was at the hotel already.After a moment of silence, Mrs. Stone asked, “Are you eating with Mr. Johnson?”“Yes,” Elisa answered honestly. Her family disapproved of her being together with Remy, but she did not listen to them. She felt happy when she was with him. Happiness was the most important aspect of living.If being with Remy made her happy, why would she not date him?“We just arrived and haven’t ordered anything. Why don’t Remy and I go over to accompany you and Mr. Reading to have dinner?”Mrs. Stone pressed her lips together. She said, “I’ll go over to you.”She hung up right after.Elisa held her phone and looked toward Remy. She said, “My mom wants to treat Mr. Reading to a meal. She wants us to accompany them. She’ll be coming over soon, so let’s not order first.”Elisa knew what signature dishes her family’s hotel had. Remy smiled. “Okay.

Elisa had feelings for Remy. As she mentioned, she was not in a rush to agree to date him because she wanted to experience being pursued and cherished by someone. Elisa smiled and said, “Mr. Reading might not fancy me anyway. It’s all my mom’s doing. If I don’t cooperate, my mom’s actions will be useless. I can still decide who I love.”Andrew was Zachary’s cousin. Although she had never interacted with Andrew before, he must have known that she used to be obsessed with Zachary. Even if she had already given up on Zachary and let go of her feelings for him, could Andrew really not mind?Her mother was simply wasting efforts. She would not cooperate, and Andrew would not fall for it. Elisa’s words were like a tranquilizer. They put Remy’s mind at ease. He considered himself lucky that he had targeted Elisa early and deliberately approached her. He had made a strong first impression, occupied the most advantageous position, and developed feelings for her. If he had just mad

“I don’t think Elisa is wayward, reckless, or hot-tempered. Who doesn’t have a temper? Even a figurine made of clay has some expressions.“Even if Elisa acts as you described her, I have a good temper and am tolerant. I’m best suited for someone with a temper like Elisa’s.”Mrs. Stone could not retort at all. Remy was indeed a good-tempered person. He was tolerant too. “Mrs. Stone, aside from the fact that I’m not from Wiltspoon, what else are you unsatisfied with? I can correct them.”Since Mrs. Stone was straightforward, Remy asked her that question frankly too. “You’re great in everything and outstanding. I started admiring you even before you started pursuing my daughter. As I mentioned before, I only have one daughter. I can’t bear her marrying someone who lives far away. Since you and my daughter have just started dating, it’s not too late to end the relationship. You won’t hurt each other.”“I’m working in Wiltspoon long-term, and I live here. Nearly all my friends a

When admiring someone, all of that person’s shortcomings would turn into strong points. On the other hand, hating someone would cause even that person’s strengths to turn into flaws. “Good evening, Ms. Stone.”Andrew returned Elisa’s greeting with a smile. He looked behind Elisa. There was no sign of Mrs. Stone. It was Mrs. Stone who had invited him over for a meal. He thought she would be present. Mrs. Stone was being too polite. He stopped his car to ask her what had happened simply because he saw her sitting on the floor. He also drove her home afterward. It was a slight effort and no big deal to him. However, she treated Andrew like her life savior. Her excessive enthusiasm and gratitude made him feel pressured. Elisa had also called him countless times to treat him to a meal and repay his kindness. He refused all of them politely. However, Mrs. Stone invited him repeatedly that day. Andrew only agreed to the dinner to regain his peace and quiet. He thought Mrs.

After glancing at Elisa, Andrew said with a smile, “The soup Ms. Stone makes will definitely taste good. However, I don’t really like drinking soup.”Elisa had sent soup over frequently back when she was pursuing his cousin.Andrew was aware of it. Mrs. Stone maintained her smile and said, “You haven’t tried the soup Elisa makes. You’ll like it after tasting it. It’s decided then. Please come to our house for a meal next time.”Andrew grinned. “I’ll definitely go if I have the time.”Only then did Mrs. Stone feel satisfied and stop her attacks. She asked Elisa to order the food. Elisa had the waiter bring the menu. She passed one to Andrew, “You can do the honor, Mr. Reading.”Andrew smiled. “This is the Stone family’s hotel. You must be aware of which dish tastes great. You should order, Ms. Stone. I’m not a picky eater aside from disliking soup.”Actually, he liked drinking soup. Wiltspoonians loved boiling soup. Some people could not even eat without having soup for each

When Remy and Elisa could no longer see Andrew’s car, they prepared to return to the hotel. However, Mrs. Stone walked out of the hotel. “Mrs. Stone,” Remy greeted. Mrs. Stone nodded as a form of acknowledgment. Then, she said to Elisa, “Elisa, can you accompany me to the night market? I haven’t walked around one for a long time.”Elisa looked toward Remy. Remy read the atmosphere and said, “Mrs. Stone, Elisa, I also have some matters to see to. I’ll leave first.”Elisa whispered apologetically, “Remy, please don’t take what my mother did or said to heart.”Remy returned a gaze to reassure her. He was generous and would not resent his mother-in-law for being hard on him. Mrs. Stone walked toward her car. Elisa had no choice but to follow. They sat in the same car while Elisa’s car was left in the parking lot of their hotel. When Elisa got into the car, Mrs. Stone poked her forehead. She told Elisa, “How many times have I told you to keep a distance from Remy? He’s a cu

“Will you and my brothers not seek justice if I were together with Remy and got bullied by the Johnsons?”Elisa returned a question to her mother. “Besides, I’m not someone who’s easily bullied. It has always been me bullying other people.”Mrs. Stone choked for a moment and said, “You can act recklessly in Wiltspoon, and no one will dare to do anything to you. That’s because you have the huge Stone Group behind your back. Clive can back you up and clean up your mess.“If you were to be with Remy, you'd live in Annenburg. Who’ll dote on you and be your shoulder to rely on if you move to a faraway place after marriage?”Elisa argued her case. “Remy’s job is based in Wiltspoon, and he lives here long-term. I’ll be living in Wiltspoon in the future with him as well. Even if we must return to Annenburg, it’ll only be during the festive seasons to accompany his parents.“What trouble can arise from that? Besides, you’re aware of what type of family the Johnsons are. The Johnsons are
