Chapter 165
Married at First Sight
Chapter 165 âGirls chasing after boys is really not that different from guys chasing after girls. Invest in his interest and hang in there. Your efforts will see you through . Heâs bound to say yes if you keep asking him out.â
Elisa gave it a thought before replying, âI know I should persevere and stick with it. To be honest, my sister-in law initiated the first move on my brother. I saw the whole thing. My brother was like Mr. York at the time â lofty, detached, and unconcerned.
âMy sister-in-law was all over my brother every day and eventually wore my brother down with her persistence. There was a time my sister-in-law wanted to give up and stopped turning up anywhere near my brother. The surprising thing was that my brother got used to her being around. Her absence and intention to back out of his life turned him to being more forward with his feelings.
âNow my brotherâs known in Wiltspoon for worshiping the ground his wife walks on.â
Elisa was most envious of her brother and sister-in-lawâs marriage. It started off tough when her sister-
in-law went after her brother, just like what Elisa was experiencing now. However, her brother got it bad for her sister-in-law thereafter, After marriage, her brother remained crazy about her sister-in-law.
It never occurred to Serenity that the wife of Stone Groupâs CEO initiated the courtship and won her manâs heart in the end. Serenity said with a smile. âYour sister in-law is a successful example. You should get the know how from her.â
âShe wonât help me now because my brother told her not to. She tried to fight for me, but since my family wonât budge, my sister-in-law simply went with the flow.â
Serenity gave Elisa a sympathetic look.
An heiress of a wealthy family probably did not have much of a say in her marriage.
Serenity heard that many marriages among the rich and powerful were arranged.
âWhat does he like? You could give him that as a gift every day. The way to a manâs heart is through his stomach. Present him with different food every day. Keep going even if he shuts you out and embarrasses you. He might accept you one day.
âYou mentioned that your brother got used to having your sister-in-law around. He only realized he couldnât be without her when your sister-in-law walked away. Well, isnât that an idea too?
âYou could also create some intentional coincidences.
Wait for him along one of his usual routes and play the damsel in distress or something. Heâll help you so long as his heart isnât made of stone. That should give you a chance to get on with him.â
Serenity gave Elisa a few suggestions that she believed were useful, showing her how to go about having some alone time with Mr. York through intentional encounters.
She believed their feelings could be developed once the pair got together.
Of course, there was something called love at first sight too. Nevertheless, not everyone could feel the butterflies in their stomach at first encounters.
Elisa believed Serenity was on to something.
She uttered gratefully, âThank you for the advice. Iâll reward you handsomely if I ever marry into the York family and become Mrs. York one day.â
Serenity grinned. âYou can just invite me to the wedding.â
The upper crust would hold the wedding reception at the finest hotel. Serenity was all about the food.
âOf course. Youâll be my maid of honor should I win Mr. Yorkâs heart.â
âYou go, girl! Iâll be waiting to be your maid of honor.â
Serenity cheered Elisa on, giving her support and encouragement âOkay. I can do it. Iâll snag the man!â âUm⦠Can I be honest with you about something?â
Elisa answered, â⦠What? Are you telling me youâve been dishonest with me?â
Serenity responded with a smile, âWell, no. Iâve read the gossip about you and Mr. York. The tabloids painted you as a spoiled and willful person who isnât the easiest to get along with. I canât say I know you well enough since you and I had only just met. You might want to change for the better if thatâs the mediaâs depiction of you. Perhaps Mr. Yorkâs put off by that type of girl.â
