Chapter 1281
Married at First Sight
âDonât hesitate to let us know if we can be of help to anything, Mr. Johnson. My wife and I are happy to do whatever we can.â
Zachary added, âWe hope Elisa can find happiness.â
Remy was in love with Elisa. Zachary believed that Elisa would find her happily ever after if she chose to be with Remy.
The Johnsons were a decent family.
Many women in Annenburg saw Remy as husband material.
He was one of the five heirs of the Johnson family and shared the same mother as Ben. Compared to the other boys in the house, he was a more popular choice.
Since he oversaw the family business in Wiltspoon, Remy found peace away from his familyâs insistence to get married due to his long absence In Annenburg.
There were many whiteâcollar women in Wiltspoon who had their eyes on Remy too.
Remy may appear a mildâmannered gentleman, but not to be fooled by his appearance, he was not the easiest to get through to. Remy was nice to everybody, always having a smile on his face. It was hard to read him on the type of women he liked.
No one could tell that he set his sights on Elisa if he did not purchase the house next to the Stones âresidence and looked for every excuse under the sun to meet with Elisa.
Remy and Elisa did not have a pleasant first meeting because Elisa nearly ran into his car and refused to give way. Remy was gracious to let it go and asked the chauffeur to reverse the car and allowed Elisa to go ahead.
He had recognized who Elisa was and knew she was the Stonesâ princess with a fiery temper. Remy only gave way because the girl was unreasonable and not one to be messed with.
As they engaged further, Remy discovered the publicâs unfair label on Elisa. She was not mean in nature. Elisa was simply being true to herself. Somehow or rather, he loved spending time with. her.
Remy was the first to find out about the sale of the property next to the Stone familyâs residence as he acquired the Zimmersâ company. That was how he could purchase the house before Clive.
He wanted to be neighbors with Elisa.
Remy would get to see Elisa often if they lived next to each other. Their frequent meetings would only increase his chances of winning her heart.
âIâll make Elisa the happiest woman alive like your wife is if Elisa and I end up together.â
Remy had frontârow seats to his brotherâs affectionate acts toward his wife. Thanks to his older.
brother, Remy had acquired plenty of ways to spoil his future wife.
âBe confident. Iâm sure youâll succeed when you put your mind to it.â
Zachary encouraged Remy. Elisa might as well grow old a spinster if she and Remy were not meant to be.
âI believe Mr. and Mrs. Stone are aware of my intention. Even Clive could tell. You saw the looks they gave me. They are merely keeping it from Elisa.â
âItâs not that they donât approve of you. They just think you come from a faraway place. Elisa is the apple of their eye, and as parents, they are reluctant for their daughter to move far away after marriage.
It takes great courage for a woman to move away from familiar surroundings.â
One of Zacharyâs uncles married someone who was not local to Wiltspoon. It had not been easy for his uncle back when he pursued his wife.
His wifeâs parents moved into Wildridge Manor for six months to observe the character of Zacharyâs uncle and family. At the time, the girlâs parents often put feelers out about Zacharyâs uncle.
It was only when they were sure that Zacharyâs uncle and family were good people that they agreed to the marriage.
The wife of Zacharyâs uncle was wellâloved in her family, and nobody wanted her to follow her husband to a faraway place.
If he had a daughter, Zachary believed he would not want her to move away and marry someone in a foreign land too.
âIâm aware they donât want their daughter to move far away from them. That was why I bought the house. This will be my marital home. My brother understands my plans, so he wonât shift me away from Wiltspoon. I will continue to oversee the business in Wiltspoon.â
