Married at First Sight Chapter 1571

Chapter 1571

Elisa replied, “I think so, but I’ve never encountered him by chance. The Readings are quite low-key.”

Remy nodded.

He had never paid much attention to the Readings either.

The Readings didn’t operate in Wiltspoon, and there was no partnership between them and FC & Co. Their family maintained a low profile, which is why Remy hadn’t noticed them.

Now, however, Remy felt he needed to be cautious of Mr. Reading.

For some reason, he sensed that Mr. Reading might turn into a romantic rival.

Elisa was unaware that Remy was already on guard, determined to prevent Mr. Reading from becoming a competitor for her affection.

She asked Remy, “Aren’t you going home this holiday?”

Remy responded, “It’s just for a few days, so I’m too lazy to go back and forth. Besides, I need to monitor the renovations here.”

He gazed intently at Elisa and added, “I’d prefer to return with you.”

Elisa smiled but didn’t respond.

Nothing had transpired between them yet, and it was still too soon for them to meet each other’s families.

“I’ll head back inside to help my mom with some ointment,” she said.

“Okay,” he replied.

This time, Remy didn’t insist on following Elisa inside.

He stood at the entrance of the villa, watching her enter the main house before turning around and walking back.

A few minutes later, Remy drove off alone in his car.

He returned about half an hour later.

Once back, he parked directly in front of the Stones’ villa and honked.

Before long, the Stones’ maid emerged. Recognizing Remy, she opened the villa gate for him to drive in.

After parking his car, Remy retrieved the supplements he had gone out to buy and entered the house at the maid’s invitation.

He intended to visit his future…

Clive’s mother-in-law had sprained her foot, and he felt he couldn’t arrive empty-handed. This was why he had refrained from insisting on entering the house with Elisa earlier—he needed to purchase some supplements.

Ointment had been applied to Mrs. Stone’s foot. She was enthusiastically recounting to her daughter how wonderful Mr. Reading had been. She mentioned that she wouldn’t have made it home if he hadn’t kindly stopped his car to give her a ride. She had forgotten her phone when she went out earlier.

Clive and his wife exchanged glances, feeling grateful that Mr. Reading had brought her home. However, they sensed something was off about Mrs. Stone’s excessive praise for him.

Alice discreetly nudged Clive, who was sitting next to her, and whispered, “Clive, don’t you think Mom is overdoing it with her compliments for Mr. Reading? It seems like she has ulterior motives.”

Though Alice felt guilty for doubting her mother-in-law, she couldn’t shake the suspicion that Mrs. Stone had orchestrated the entire situation—spraining her foot, coincidentally encountering Mr. Reading, and then being driven home by him. It seemed likely that Mrs. Stone was unwittingly using Mr. Reading to her advantage.

What was her ultimate goal? Alice glanced at her sister-in-law, who seemed unaware of the unfolding dynamics. If Alice’s instincts were correct, Mrs. Stone was trying to create an opportunity for Elisa and Mr. Reading to meet and see if there was a romantic connection between them.

After all, Alice was aware that her mother-in-law opposed the idea of Elisa marrying someone from far away. It was entirely plausible that Mrs. Stone was setting the stage to introduce potential love interests for Remy in an effort to deter Elisa from marrying into the Johnson family, who lived far away.

In fact, Alice held Remy in high regard, believing he was an excellent match for her sister-in-law, primarily because Elisa and Remy got along so well.
