Chapter 771<\/div>\n
In addition to the Hunt sisters and Sonny, Mrs. Stone had also prepared a gift for Zachary.<\/div>\n
Although he couldn\u2019t become her son-in-law, her niece\u2019s husband was still considered family, prompting her to be a bit more generous and prepare a gift for him as well.<\/div>\n
\u201cMom.\u201d<\/div>\n
Elisa came down the stairs, dragging her luggage behind her.<\/div>\n
Mrs. Stone quickly signaled the butler to step aside.<\/div>\n
She stood up, approached her daughter, and smiled, saying, \u201cWhy did it take you so long to pack?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI had to make sure I packed everything I needed. Where are Clive and the others?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThey haven\u2019t come down yet.\u201d<\/div>\n
Elisa lifted her luggage and descended the last few steps. Mrs. Stone took a few steps forward to help her, but Elisa declined the offer.<\/div>\n
\u201cMom, what did you ask the butler to do just now?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI prepared some gifts for Liberty and her sister and wanted him to help deliver them.\u201d<\/div>\n
Elisa nodded in acknowledgment, then said, \u201cLiberty didn\u2019t want to come with us; otherwise, we could have brought her and Sonny along. Sigh\u2026 I\u2019ll have to go quite a while without seeing Sonny again. By the time we return, he\u2019ll already be three years old.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIn just a few days, you\u2019ll turn twenty-seven,\u201d Mrs. Stone reminded her daughter.<\/div>\n
With the arrival of the new year, everyone would age another year. The young would grow up, while the older ones would simply grow older.<\/div>\n
\u201cBeing twenty-seven is still quite young, Mom. Please don\u2019t pressure me to get married. I haven\u2019t found the right man yet. There\u2019s no rush\u2014I plan to marry when I\u2019m thirty. If a suitable person doesn\u2019t come along by then, I might just choose not to marry. I\u2019ll stay with you and Dad for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/div>\n

Elisa Stone maintained exceptionally high standards. An average-looking man with ordinary talents simply would not suffice for her. <\/p>\n

Mrs. Stone remarked, \u201cOh, come on. Don\u2019t be so selective. As long as he is kind and can accept everything about you, it doesn\u2019t matter if his family background isn\u2019t quite as prestigious as ours.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not acceptable. If we aren\u2019t of equal status and my future in-laws try to take advantage of me or treat me like an ATM, what will I do? Men from that sort of background are frightening.\u201d <\/p>\n

Mrs. Stone was at a loss for words in response. <\/p>\n

In Wiltspoon, there were several families of equal standing to the Stones, but those families lacked sons of marriageable age. Most had already married or had a significant age difference with Elisa. <\/p>\n

Elisa had no interest in younger men. <\/p>\n

Of course, the York family, who were on good terms with the Stones, had a few eligible sons, but Elisa had once been infatuated with Zachary from the York family, even confessing her feelings and pursuing him publicly. The York brothers held their eldest brother and cousin in high regard, so they would certainly not consider Elisa. <\/p>\n

There were no other suitable options in Wiltspoon. Looking elsewhere would mean searching far away, which Mrs. Stone couldn\u2019t bear, as Elisa was her only daughter. <\/p>\n

\u201cMom, since our whole family is traveling for the holidays, won\u2019t we miss the chance to meet Seren\u2019s husband? I really want to meet him,\u201d Elisa said. <\/p>\n

Mrs. Stone smiled and replied, \u201cWe\u2019re all family now. Isn\u2019t it the same whenever we meet him? If you are eager to see him, why not stay home for the holidays while we travel? You can ask Seren to bring her husband over to meet you when the time comes. What do you think?\u201d <\/p>\n

Elisa quickly shook her head. \u201cNo way.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need to rush. I could use a break.\u201d Traveling and exploring new places would help lift her spirits and make it easier to forget about Zachary. Now, when she thought of him, she felt less frantic than before. <\/p>\n

As she drove into her neighborhood, Serenity texted Zachary. When she parked in front of her building, she noticed Zachary waiting downstairs, accompanied by Jim. <\/p>\n

\u201cSeren.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary stepped forward, and as Serenity\u2019s car came to a complete stop, he gallantly opened her door. He was about to assist her out when she swatted his hand away. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m neither disabled nor elderly. I don\u2019t need your help getting out of the car.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary replied, \u201cAre you unhappy because your husband is trying to be considerate?\u201d He then wrapped his arms around her and instead of merely helping her out, he lifted her from the car. Serenity felt her cheeks flush.<\/p>\n
