He was the first to learn about the sale of the property adjacent to the Stone family’s home after acquiring the Zimmers’ company. This enabled him to purchase the house before Clive could.
He wanted to be neighbors with Elisa. Living next to each other would allow Remy to see Elisa frequently, increasing his chances of winning her heart.
“I’ll make Elisa the happiest woman alive, just like your wife is, if we end up together,” he declared. Having witnessed his brother’s affectionate gestures toward his wife, Remy had learned many ways to pamper his future partner.
“Stay confident. I believe you’ll succeed if you set your mind to it,” Zachary encouraged him. If Remy and Elisa were not meant to be, she might end up an old spinster.
“I believe Mr. and Mrs. Stone are aware of my intentions. Even Clive can tell; you saw the looks they gave me. They’re just keeping it from Elisa,” Remy insisted.
“It’s not that they disapprove of you. They simply think you come from a distant place. Elisa is their pride and joy, and as parents, they’re hesitant about their daughter moving far away after marriage. It takes immense courage for a woman to leave behind everything she knows,” Zachary explained.
One of Zachary’s uncles had married someone from outside Wiltspoon, and it had not been easy for him during the courtship. The girl’s parents moved to Wildridge Manor for six months to assess Zachary’s uncle and his family. During that time, they often sought information about him.
Only when they were certain that Zachary’s uncle and his family were good people did they approve of the marriage. The wife of Zachary’s uncle was cherished by her family, and no one wanted her to move so far away from them.
Zachary had a daughter, and he believed he would not want her to move away and marry someone in a foreign country. “I know they prefer their daughter to stay close to them. That’s why I purchased the house. This will be my marital home. My brother is aware of my plans, so he won’t move me away from Wiltspoon. I will keep overseeing the business in Wiltspoon.”
