Chapter 994

“Mom, Clive, do you feel that Elisa and Mr. Johnson are familiar with each other?”

Alice spoke a little earlier. She was just listening and observing.

Her little sister–in–law was proud and arrogant, and very few men were able to catch her attention.

She was infatuated with Zachary for many years to the point where her eyes and heart were filled with him. It was Alice’s first time seeing Elisa treat a man who was not Zachary so well.

Serenity explained, “Elisa and Mr. Johnson met several times. She said that the first time they met was on the road. She blocked his way, but he gave way out of courtesy.”

Audrey said faintly, “Mr. Johnson is an exceptional man. The men from his family are as good as the men from the York family. They just live too far away.”

Everyone fell silent.

Serenity also thought about whether Elisa and Remy would become a couple. Then, she remembered that Remy lived in Annenburg. Audrey only had one daughter and could not bear to let Elisa marry somewhere far.

She stopped thinking about it.

If a spark ignited between Elisa and Remy, they would overcome their problems by themselves.

Compared to what Zachary and she faced, what Elisa and Remy had to deal with could not be considered problems.

Remy suddenly spent a fortune to buy the house next to the Stone family’s villa and went from being miles away to becoming neighbors. Now, they were just separated by a wall.

After seeing Remy off, Elisa went back to her house and said, “Mom, Seren can walk naturally now.

Let’s go.”

Audrey asked Serenity to get up and take a few steps to show her. After making sure that Serenity was able to walk naturally, she stood up. Alice followed suit, picked up the delicate clutch from the side, and handed it to her mother-in–law.

“Have a good rest at home, Alice. Although you’re still in the early stages of pregnancy and your movements aren’t affected yet, you still have to be careful. Rest well and let Clive stay with you. I’ll bring Elisa and Seren out now.”

“I’ll take care, Mom. Have fun.”

Alice winked at Serenity and Elisa but regained her gentle expression when her mother–in–law looked at her. With her husband, she personally sent the ladies out the door.

The banquet tonight was hosted by the Dowlings. It was the eighteenth birthday of the family’s eldest daughter, so they were celebrating with a birthday banquet.

On the way there, Audrey asked Serenity questions about the Dowling family. She was satisfied when Serenity managed to answer everything perfectly. “Seren, your memory is much better than Elisa’s.

She doesn’t remember anyone she meets.”

“That’s because I can’t be bothered to remember. Why should I remember people I don’t get along with?”

Audrey reached out to poke her daughter’s forehead. “See, that’s exactly what I meant. You won’t be able to get married if you don’t change that temper of yours.”

“If can’t get married, I’ll stay with you and dad for the rest of my life.”

Serenity laughed. “Elisa is fine the way she is. I like her character very much.”

Elisa did not need to be smooth and slick. With the amount of confidence she had, she did not have to try currying favor with other people.

“You two… I can’t be bothered to nag you.”

Audrey said the words of admonishment with a smile on her face. She was happier than anyone else that her only daughter could get along with her niece.

“Aunt Audrey, I’ll be going back home this weekend.”

Audrey did not ask why Serenity was going back and simply said, “Wait for me. I’ll go over there with your Uncle Darrell.”

“Okay. Zachary and I will probably leave after breakfast. I have to buy truckloads of bricks and gravel and travel tomorrow to bring them back. I’ll tell them that I want to renovate my parents‘ house or rebuild it.”

Audrey was an intelligent person and knew that Serenity was officially declaring war on her grandparents. Her fight for her parents‘ inheritance had just begun.
