Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1277
All members of the Stone family including Mrs Stone hoped that flisa would go for a young and talented man from Wiltspoon. By
getting married in her city, it would be convenient for them to meet each other frequently.
They would know right away if Elisa got treated poorly at her in laws‘ house. If she married far away, no one would know how
their daughter was doing.
Although the Johnsons were extremely cultured, both Mr. and Mrs. Stone were still reluctant to marry Elisa far away.
Since Remy had not confessed his love to Elisa, it would be hard for them to discuss this topic with Remy.
Zachary saw Remy sitting under the gazebo as he got out of his car.
Remy stood up and greeted him with a smile.
“Why are you sitting here alone, Mr. Johnson? Not going inside?”
Zachary walked over naturally upon seeing a familiar face who was also a major client of his company.
“Seems like I came at an awkward time,” Remy replied with a smile.
Zachary figured out what he meant right away.
“Are you here for a family visit, Mr. York? Or are you here to pick up your wife?”
Zachary murmured, “Both.”
“Wow! The power of love is strong indeed,” Remy joked with Zachary.
“Neither friends nor rivals are everlasting in this world.”
Remy laughed at the remark. Zachary would never step into the Stones‘ villa if Zachary’s beloved wife was not Mrs. Stone’s
niece, and neither would he ease his cold relationship with Clive.
Although it was difficult for the York Corporation and the Stone Group to cooperate, at least the hostility between them had died
down after the meeting between the CEOs of their respective families.

Clive always wanted Zachary to call him cousin, but Zachary had no intention of doing it.
Clive was down in the dumps. Zachary was willing to approve Elisa as his cousin, but Clive did not get the same treatment. After
all, Clive was not held in high regard by Serenity, unlike Elisa.
“Babe.”
“Remy.”
Serenity and Elisa both came out of the house. They called out to the two men who were at the gazebo while walking toward
them.
Remy said to Zachary, “Your sunshine is here.”
Zachary retorted, “Well, it seems to me that your shimmering moonlight is here as well.”
The two briefly looked at each other. After picking up the things that he had brought over, Remy told Zachary, “I’ll go ahead. I
wouldn’t want to be the third wheel.”
Remy walked toward Elisa while talking.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, Remy. I heard from the housekeeper that you were looking for me. What seems to be the
matter?”
Elisa halted her footsteps in front of Remy.
Remy handed over the goods to her. Looking at her with a smile on his face, he said to her in a gentle tone, “I heard you liked
the treats from this shop. I happened to pass by the store earlier today. So, I went ahead and bought some of your favorite treats
for you.
“Here, this is for you.”
Elisa received the gift and said, “I just mentioned it casually. If I’m up for some light bites, that place is my go–to. The place has a
nice ambiance to it; quiet and peaceful too. I could sit there for an entire day.
“Thank you, Remy.”

Even for something she said without much thought, Remy still took note of it. He even went out of his way to buy those snacks
and gift them to her. Elisa got to experience firsthand how it felt to be valued by someone.
However, Elisa recalled that Remy once mentioned having a crush on someone. Not wanting to be involved in a competition for
a man’s heart ever again, she quickly expelled the weird happiness welling up in her heart.
She adored Zachary for years, alas, to no avail.
As she witnessed how lovey–dovey Zachary and Serenity were as a couple, she could not help but feel envious.
