Chapter 1639

“Mom, I’m at our family’s hotel now. I’m in private room number 23.”

Elisa had no choice but to tell her mother that she was at the hotel already.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Stone asked, “Are you eating with Mr. Johnson?”

“Yes,” Elisa answered honestly.

Her family disapproved of her being together with Remy, but she did not listen to them. She felt happy when she was with him.

Happiness was the most important aspect of living.

If being with Remy made her happy, why would she not date him?

“We just arrived and haven’t ordered anything. Why don’t Remy and I go over to accompany you and Mr. Reading to have dinner?”

Mrs. Stone pressed her lips together. She said, “I’ll go over to you.”

She hung up right after.

Elisa held her phone and looked toward Remy. She said, “My mom wants to treat Mr. Reading to a meal. She wants us to accompany them. She’ll be coming over soon, so let’s not order first.”

Elisa knew what signature dishes her family’s hotel had.

Remy smiled. “Okay.”

He knew Mrs. Stone would annoy and stress him out.

Mr. Reading was the love rival Mrs. Stone created for him. Although the Readings always kept a low profile, it was Tania Reading’s family. Andrew and Zachary were cousins too. The Readings and Stones had equal social status as well.

To be chosen and arranged to be set up with Elisa by Mrs. Stone personally, it was evident that Andrew was an outstanding man.

Seeing Remy agreeing so readily, Elisa wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Elisa, you can say what’s on your mind,” Remy said considerately.

“Based on my mom’s arrangement, I think she wants to bring Mr. Reading and I together. I didn’t notice it the first time. No wonder my mom kept praising him in front of me. I just realized my mom’s intentions just now.”

Remy continued speaking gently, “I know. I felt it the first time I saw Mr. Reading and heard Mrs. Stone complimenting him so much.”

Therefore, he even called Zachary on purpose to ask for Andrew’s relationship status. He confirmed that Andrew was single and did not have a girlfriend.

Zachary laughed at him for treating everyone like an enemy.

Remy thought he would rather treat everyone like enemies than leave out any potential rival.

He could not gain the Stones‘ recognition. Although Elisa was headstrong sometimes and had her own opinions, she was still a filial child.

If Mrs. Stone insisted that Elisa try dating Andrew, she would probably give in.

That was why Remy immediately treated Andrew as a love rival after he spotted Elisa seeing Andrew off.

Zachary was lucky to have Grandma May arranging everything for him. He immediately got his marriage license and did not experience someone fighting for his wife. He could not understand why Remy was nervous.

Elisa was speechless.

The first time Remy met Andrew was that time she saw Andrew off.

She remembered that Remy never even talked to Andrew. Despite that, he treated Andrew as a love rival.

“Elisa, no matter how many people are courting you, I’ll never give up. It’s a fair competition for everything. This shows that you’re a nice lady too.”

Remy felt pressured, but he did not show it in his expressions. Instead, he consoled Elisa not to be stressed about it.

He trusted his instinct and eye for people.
