In the end, they would refuse to give the money… Of course, not all men are like Hank. Kind-hearted individuals still make up a significant portion of the world’s population. “You spend almost every day with Seren. If you notice that something is bothering her, try to engage her in conversation,” she advised.
“I know, Mom. Don’t worry. Seren is my sister, and I care for her more than anyone. I want her to be happy too. If Zachary mistreats her, I’ll go to his place to confront him.”
“You’ll confront him?” Mrs. Stone’s voice turned serious.
Elisa quickly rephrased, “I’ll visit him and demand justice for Serenity. I won’t resort to physical confrontation. After all, I’m an elegant lady. I’ll use words, not my fists.”
Well, she could still use her feet to express her anger by kicking Zachary a few times.
“Are you still at the Buchams’ house?” Mrs. Stone was unsure how to handle her daughter. She could sense what was on her mind. While others would use words, her daughter often chose physical retaliation; otherwise, why was her reputation in Wiltspoon so poor?
“I just left their house. What’s up, Mom?”
“Come to our family’s hotel now. I’ve invited Mr. Reading over for a meal, and you should join us. He has helped me so many times, and as my children, you can treat him to dinner to show your appreciation.”
Elisa replied, “Mom, Mr. Reading declined the last time I offered to treat him. He said it was a small matter and that we didn’t need to be so formal.”
“Mr. Reading has helped me again recently. I called him personally to invite him for a meal, and he agreed. Come over quickly; he will be here soon.”
Elisa asked, “Is it just…
“Is it just you and me?”
“It’ll be the three of us once Mr. Reading arrives.”
“Are Dad, Clive, and the others not joining us?”
Elisa then realized that her mother appeared eager for her to engage more with Mr. Reading.
Was Remy’s courtship making Mom anxious about finding a partner for her?
Having seen through her mother’s intentions, Elisa felt torn between laughter and tears.
“Your dad is going out to meet a friend later tonight. Clive has a business commitment, and Anthony never comes home unless there’s an emergency. Who can I rely on? You’re my precious baby daughter, and you’re the only one I can count on.”
Elisa was left speechless.
If that was the case, she had no choice but to accompany her mother to dinner with Mr. Reading; otherwise, she might no longer be her mother’s precious baby.
