Chapter 341
Married at First Sight
Clive saw his sisterâs pale face and knew that she must be devastated.
He had been in love before. Although he had a happy marriage, he had experienced sadness and despair before that. Thus, he knew that feelings could hurt one deeply.
Clive could also tell that Zachary would not fall in love with Elisa, so if Elisa continued to pester Zachary, she would be the one who would get hurt in the end. It was better to let her give up on Zachary as soon as possible.
He sighed and said, âElisa, itâs not that I donât want to help you investigate Zachary. Think about whoâs working for him â Josh Bucham. You know what the Buchams are capable of. Once I do a background check on Zachary, Zachary will know.
1 1 1 1 1 1 11 12 L âDo you think Zachary will let me find out? Besides, Iâve arranged for most of my subordinates to look for our aunt.â
Elisa was silent.
She knew what her brother said was true.
Josh Bucham worked for Zachary, and everyone in Wiltspoon knew what the Buchams were best at.
âElisa, there are so many good men in this world, so forget about Zachary.â
Elisa lowered her head and said nothing. Soon, tears flowed down her face, drop by drop.
She was devastated.
Why was it so difficult to love someone and want to be with him?
Clive silently embraced his sisterâs shoulders.
âOh, Clive.â
Elisa leaned on her brotherâs shoulder and cried. âWhy doesnât Zachary like me? Am I not good enough? Does he think Iâm arrogant and willful? He just needs to tell me what he doesnât like about me, and Iâll change.
âBut he didnât even give me a chance. Am I just so unlikeable?â
Clive was heartbroken. âElisa, thereâs no reason to not like someone. He doesnât like you not because youâre not good enough. Humans arenât like cash. We canât make everyone like us. Even if itâs cash, some people prefer pounds and euros over dollars.
1 L âYou are unique, and your character is innate. I think you should live a carefree and easy life, and thereâs no need for you to change yourself for anyone. Youâll be miserable if you change yourself, and we, your family, will feel distressed when we see you like that.â
Elisa sobbed. âBrother, if I give up, I will feel that I have no purpose in life.â
âSilly girl! How can you not have a purpose in life? You can set your goal to become the richest woman in Wiltspoon or T!
further your studies to better yourself. Or, you can take over the task of looking for our aunt for our mother. You can make that your goal!â
Clive pulled a few sheets of tissues from its box and handed them to his sister. âElisa, life is not just about love. You still have family and friends, and you can do more meaningful things.â
Elisa took the tissues to wipe away her tears and snot.â Mom and aunt have been separated for decades. We have no clue how our aunt looked when she was older. Weâve been searching for so many years, but nothing useful came up.â
âMom has been hung up over looking for her sister her whole life. As her children, we should continue trying our best to help her find our aunt. As long as our aunt is alive, I believe itâs just a matter of time before we find her. So, do you want to accept this challenge?â
Elisa cried a lot and vented the anguish in her heart. She finally calmed down, thought about it, and said, âIâll accept this challenge then. I will definitely help Mom to find our aunt!â
To forget someone, one must do other things to distract oneself.
LL Over time, Elisa would let go of her feelings for Zachary. âClive, can you still help me find out if Zachary is married? You donât need to do a background check on him, just ask around to inquire about it so Zachary wonât be alerted.â
Clive was speechless.
After his long and elaborated speech, his sister had not given up.
Zachary did not care whether Elisa believed he was married or not. He was busy once he returned to the office. At half past ten, he got off work early without waiting for Serenityâs call. He drove the national MPV he used to deceive Serenity and headed straight toward Wiltspoon School. On the way, he parked the car when he came across a florist.
