“didn’t yield any results, but I don’t regret it,” Elisa said with a chuckle. “I know many people were curious whether my cousin and I would become rivals since Zachary has feelings for her. I don’t have a great temper, so people speculated that I might plot against her.
“In our social circle, no one directly expressed it, but they were eager to see drama unfold. Unfortunately, I disappointed them.
“While I felt let down when Zachary chose Seren over me, I also value my pride. Since he didn’t pick me, I accepted it, moved on, and didn’t cling to him. It’s not like I, Elisa Stone, am destined to be single forever. After all, Zachary isn’t the only good man out there.
“Moreover, Zachary has several flaws. Even Seren has been hurt by him. Truthfully, I believe she is better suited for him. If there were to be a conflict between Zachary and me, we would definitely clash because of our pride. I can’t remain calm and wouldn’t stop until we sorted it out.
“Seren, on the other hand, is much more composed when dealing with conflicts between them. Even when she was at her angriest after Zachary revealed his true identity, she handled it far better than I would have.”
At that moment, Elisa turned her head to glance at Remy, who was also looking back at her. Their eyes met briefly before she refocused on the road ahead. Distracted driving was not an option.
“I think other men from the York family are good too, but I won’t consider them anymore. They likely won’t see me as a potential partner since I pursued Zachary in the past.
“Remy, are all your brothers married? My mom says a person’s family background is important for marriage. Your family’s values are as commendable as the Yorks.”
Remy smiled and replied, “I’m glad to hear you like my brothers, but all my older brothers are married, and my younger brothers are all younger than you. I suppose you…”
“won’t be fond of younger men.”
Only the first, second, and fourth sons of the Johnson family were married.
Elisa paid little attention to FC Manor, so she believed everything Remy told her.
As they chatted, they soon reached Wiltspoon Hotel. Elisa preferred not to park in the basement, so she circled the hotel entrance and found a spot, where she parked her car.
When she exited the vehicle, she noticed a luxury car parked next to hers and froze.
It was Clive’s car.
