Chapter 1644

When Remy and Elisa could no longer see Andrew’s car, they prepared to return to the hotel. However, Mrs. Stone walked out of the hotel.

“Mrs. Stone,” Remy greeted.

Mrs. Stone nodded as a form of acknowledgment. Then, she said to Elisa, “Elisa, can you accompany me to the night market? I haven’t walked around one for a long time.”

Elisa looked toward Remy.

Remy read the atmosphere and said, “Mrs. Stone, Elisa, I also have some matters to see to. I’ll leave first.”

Elisa whispered apologetically, “Remy, please don’t take what my mother did or said to heart.”

Remy returned a gaze to reassure her.

He was generous and would not resent his mother–in–law for being hard on him.

Mrs. Stone walked toward her car. Elisa had no choice but to follow.

They sat in the same car while Elisa’s car was left in the parking lot of their hotel.

When Elisa got into the car, Mrs. Stone poked her forehead. She told Elisa, “How many times have.

I told you to keep a distance from Remy? He’s a cunning fox. You won’t even know if he’s scamming you.

“Even if he sells you away, you might still be counting money for him.

“He’s not suitable for you. You should end things while your feelings aren’t that deep yet.”

Elisa said unhappily, “Mom, I’ve only liked two guys my whole life, yet you never supported me for either. I used to like Zachary, and you said he didn’t suit me too. You talked about the Yorks being the Stones‘ rival, how our families don’t get along, and that I was asking for trouble if I liked him.

“Fine. I gave up after Zachary and Seren got married. I finally got along well with Remy and started dating him. I feel relaxed. I don’t care whether he’s cunning or not. I only know that his feelings for me are sincere.

“If you keep opposing, I’ll tell Remy I agree to be his girlfriend and reveal our relationship to the public.”

Elisa was aggrieved.

She did not think she had a bad eye for men.

Whether it was Zachary or Remy, they were both outstanding men.

However, when she fancied the former, she could not gain her family’s support. The same thing happened when she liked the latter.

“Mom, can you let me decide on my marriage myself? I don’t like being led by the nose or walking the path laid out for me by you all. I won’t agree to a political marriage unless the man I’m getting. married to is someone I like.”

Mrs. Stone glared at her daughter. After some time, she said, “Remy is too cunning. He seduced your heart unnoticed and unknowingly. Even I was tricked.”

When Remy visited them back then, she did not expect him to target her precious daughter.

She thought he simply wanted to get close to them as neighbors.

FC & Co. had business dealings with York Corporation. Remy and Zachary had a good brotherly relationship too. Thanks to Serenity, Elisa and Remy started interacting with each other more and got along well. Mrs. Stone did not overthink it then.

She only noticed something was off after Remy had spent a lot of time with Elisa and often came over for meals.

She blamed herself for being dense and not noticing Remy’s ambitions before it was too late.

She would have nipped Remy’s feelings in the bud if she had known about it earlier.

“Elisa, Mr. Reading is a great man too. Don’t put all your eggs into one basket. You must pick the strongest, tallest, and most luscious tree from the forest.”

Mrs. Stone advised her, “You’ve met Mr. Reading too. Isn’t he great? He’s handsome, well- mannered, and has a good family background. He isn’t lacking compared to Remy. Most importantly, he’s from Wiltspoon. It’s convenient for you to come home in the future if you’re with him.

“If you ever get bullied in your in–laws‘ place, we can seek justice for you anytime. However, the Readings‘ family culture has always been excellent so you don’t have to worry about your in–laws bullying you.”

If the Readings‘ family culture were bad, Tania would not have married into the York family and become the head missus.

Although Grandma May seemed to have picked her granddaughters–in–law randomly, she actually prioritized character a lot.
