at Serenity and said, “Say that again, and I’m going to be upset with you.”
Serenity giggled.
A maid entered abruptly and announced, “Sir, Madam. Mr. York is here.”
All eyes turned to Serenity.
Flushing, Serenity murmured, “What brings him here?”
Elisa teasingly responded, “He’s here because he misses you, obviously. Our house is like a lion’s den for him. He only dares to come here because you’re around.”
After playfully punching Elisa, Serenity stood up and declared, “I’ll show him in.”
“I’ll go too.”
“Elisa,” Mrs. Stone called out to her daughter, clearly disapproving of her accompanying Serenity to greet Zachary.
Elisa explained, “Remy is here. He’s sitting out at the gazebo right now. I’ll go fetch him.”
Earlier, when the maid informed Elisa about Remy’s arrival, she had instructed her to brew some tea and serve it along with fruits and refreshments.
Now that the situation between Clive and Alice had been resolved, she remembered that Remy was still outside. It would be rude to keep him waiting.
“Mom, please have someone prepare cutlery and plates for two.”
Elisa hooked her arm through Serenity’s and walked out.
Mrs. Stone exchanged glances with her husband.
Whenever their daughter was home, that new neighbor would always find a reason to drop by, sometimes even staying for meals.
Elisa and Remy got along well, and as long as he visited, she would almost always share some food.
In the past, Remy would politely decline the offer, but he had become bolder over time. Now, all it took was for Elisa to ask, and he would happily stay for a free meal.
It was clear to both Mr. and Mrs. Stone.
Stone reflected on how the two felt about each other. They had once been young and in love as well.
Whenever Remy visited, he would bring some of Elisa’s favorite snacks or inexpensive trinkets, consistently making her happy with his thoughtful gestures.
It was possible that he had developed feelings for her.
Additionally, Remy was the fifth young master of the Johnson family and matched Zachary in every respect, making him a great match for Elisa. However, Mrs. Stone was concerned that the Johnsons lived in Annenburg, which was quite far away. As Elisa was her only daughter, she was hesitant to marry her off to someone so distant.
