to dominate the business world alongside her husband, but she was completely unaware of Remy’s intentions toward her daughter. Elisa regarded Remy as a friend, and there was a softness and hint of passion in his gaze when he looked at her. He often showered her with affection and clearly liked her, although he had yet to confess his feelings.
Mrs. Stone cherished Elisa the most among her three children and recognized that her daughter had few friends. If she were to prevent them from seeing each other, it could lead to a conflict between herself and Elisa, as Elisa considered Remy a friend. Consequently, she resolved to speak with Remy.
Mrs. Stone had previously asked Zachary to talk to the boy, but nothing had changed. When Remy visited, she would subtly suggest that he leave while Elisa was distracted. However, the boy seemed oblivious to her hints. Regardless of whether she was direct or indirect, he continued to eat and drink as if nothing was amiss. As long as Elisa didn’t send him away, he could stay from morning until night, to the extent that it felt like he intended to take a bath at the Stones’ manor before heading home.
“Actually, Remy isn’t bad. He’s not much inferior to Zachary. I admire him,” Mr. Stone remarked.
“I know Remy is a decent person, but he’s from Annenburg, which is so far away. We only have one daughter, and I can’t bear the thought of Elisa marrying someone from such a distant place,” Mrs. Stone replied, fixated on her concerns.
Mr. Stone also found the idea of his daughter marrying far away difficult to accept. “The new house Remy bought is right beside ours…”
Mrs. Stone shot her husband a glare. “Are you considering giving your permission? Yes, he did purchase a house next to ours and lives in Wiltspoon long-term. But who can guarantee that he won’t take Elisa back to FC Manor after marrying her? Maybe he only bought that villa to persuade us to agree to a relationship with Elisa.”
“Will we have a say in where he takes Elisa after their marriage?” Mrs. Stone asked. Mr. Stone replied, “You need to discuss that with Remy.” “Clive returned today. We can ask him to visit Remy’s company and speak with him discreetly, so Elisa remains unaware,” Mrs. Stone suggested, concerned that her daughter would discover their family’s disapproval of Remy.
