Chapter 1577
Married at First Sight
Zachary found his voice after a cat got his tongue. He said with a smile, âMr. Johnson, you got me confused here.â
âHow did Andrew become your rival in love? He broke up with his girlfriend of five years three years ago and has since been single.â
Was Remy not in love with Elisa?
While Andrew did know Elisa, he had no interaction with the girl whatsoever. Andrew did not have romantic feelings for Elisa, so he was no threat to Remy.
âMr. Reading met Elisa today, so itâs too early to say that he likes her. Iâm just a worry wart, but Mrs.
Stoneâs attitude today gave me something to think about Iâm sorry you have to see me asking around about Mr. Reading.â
Zachary was nosy for once. It was mainly because his wife drew close to listen in on the conversation He asked, âCan you enlighten me on whatâs going on, Remy?
âWhat are you interested to know about Andrew?â
Remy relayed the whole story to Zachary and said, âThe fact is Mr. Reading is your cousin, single, and without a girlfriend is enough for me to know.â
He would not see Mr. Reading as a competitor if the latter was married or had a steady girlfriend. Elisa had her pride. She would not engage with Andrew, knowing that he had a girlfriend. Elisa never wanted to come between someoneâs relationship.
That was what she did with Zachary.
Elisa got over her feelings when she found out that Zachary was married.
In her words, Elisa had her pride and dignity. She was the heiress of the Stone family. Why should she stoop so low as to steal another personâs man?
âRemy⦠Youâre getting ahead of yourself.â
Zachary smiled after getting the whole story.
He believed that Remy got carried away.
All because Andrew got to know Elisa and gave her a business card, Remy saw Andrew as the enemy.
Was that not overreacting?
Giving Zachary full rights to laugh at him, Remy replied, âI know I am. I finally met a girl who makes my heart beat, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I donât want someone else to swoop in and take her. I must end the competition before it even happens.â
Zachary answered with a smile, âI get it. I really do. Donât worry. Andrew will never be your competition.â
He believed his cousin was not interested in Elisa that way.
âIâll still keep an eye on Mr. Andrew, but I can promise you that itâll be a fair fight if Mr. Reading does become a rival in the future. I wonât pull any dirty tricks.â
Zachary gleefully replied, âAndrew is also an open and aboveboard man.â
âSorry to bother you, Mr. York.â
âNo worries about it. I get it.â
Zachary ended the call with Remy in chuckles.
Tilting his head, he looked into his wifeâs prying eyes and dotingly tapped her forehead. âDonât look at me like that. Iâll always share any gossip with you.â
âCome on. Tell me what happened.â
Curiosity was eating Serenity up alive, especially when she only heard one side of the conversation.
âYour aunt twisted her ankle today and ran into my cousin. I think you remember my cousin. Andrew turned up to Riverâs birthday party, but his family is never keen on parties. He came to deliver the gift to River and said hello before leaving.â
