might as well seek help from Yves.”
Yves had pursued Iris, while Ben and Jane got married almost immediately. Ben didn’t experience the pursuit phase with Jane, so his experience differed significantly from Yves’s.
Antonia and Remy were chatting as they walked, and soon they reached their car. Mr. Johnson quietly opened the car door for his wife without saying a word.
Remy felt a twinge of cunning as well.
After developing feelings for Elisa, he devised a plan. When the Stones’ neighbor decided to sell their villa, he quickly purchased it before Clive had the chance.
His intention was to get closer to Elisa and spend more time with her.
His plan was successful; Elisa developed feelings for him and even had a disagreement with Mrs. Stone on his behalf.
“It’s okay. I think my approach is quite effective.” If Remy couldn’t think of a new way to pursue Elisa, he would draw inspiration from his sister-in-law’s earlier novels.
As Antonia mentioned, Remy’s sister-in-law wrote stories filled with various flirtation techniques for the main characters. He could easily apply a couple of those strategies in real life, and they should prove beneficial.
Remy was eager to return to Wiltspoon, primarily because he worried that Andrew might pursue Elisa in his absence.
In reality, Andrew would keep his distance from her!
After booking his flight while in the car, Remy took a screenshot of the ticket and sent it to Elisa so she could plan to pick him up.
Elisa didn’t respond to his message immediately.
This was due to her mother finally arriving at her villa.
While Remy was talking to his mother in Annenburg, Elisa was opening the door for her mother in Wiltspoon. Noticing her mother’s serious expression, Elisa softly said, “Mom.”
As soon as Mrs. Stone, who…
Initially looking solemn, Mrs. Stone’s expression softened when she heard her daughter call her “Mom.” Filled with a mix of anger and sympathy, she gently tapped her daughter’s head. “I asked you to get out of the car so we could both calm down, yet you’ve stayed outside and haven’t come home for a few days. I’m worried about you, but it seems like you’re enjoying yourself out here.”
As she closed the villa door, Elisa explained, “I thought you were still upset, so I didn’t dare come home and risk further angering you. That’s why I stayed here for two days, planning to return only after you had calmed down.”
Once Elisa closed the door, Mrs. Stone followed her into the house.
