Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1281
“Don’t hesitate to let us know if we can be of help to anything, Mr. Johnson. My wife and I are happy to do whatever we can.”
Zachary added, “We hope Elisa can find happiness.”
Remy was in love with Elisa. Zachary believed that Elisa would find her happily ever after if she chose to be with Remy.
The Johnsons were a decent family.
Many women in Annenburg saw Remy as husband material.
He was one of the five heirs of the Johnson family and shared the same mother as Ben. Compared to the other boys in the
house, he was a more popular choice.
Since he oversaw the family business in Wiltspoon, Remy found peace away from his family’s insistence to get married due to
his long absence In Annenburg.
There were many white–collar women in Wiltspoon who had their eyes on Remy too.
Remy may appear a mild–mannered gentleman, but not to be fooled by his appearance, he was not the easiest to get through
to. Remy was nice to everybody, always having a smile on his face. It was hard to read him on the type of women he liked.
No one could tell that he set his sights on Elisa if he did not purchase the house next to the Stones ‘residence and looked for
every excuse under the sun to meet with Elisa.
Remy and Elisa did not have a pleasant first meeting because Elisa nearly ran into his car and refused to give way. Remy was
gracious to let it go and asked the chauffeur to reverse the car and allowed Elisa to go ahead.
He had recognized who Elisa was and knew she was the Stones‘ princess with a fiery temper. Remy only gave way because the
girl was unreasonable and not one to be messed with.
As they engaged further, Remy discovered the public’s unfair label on Elisa. She was not mean in nature. Elisa was simply being
true to herself. Somehow or rather, he loved spending time with. her.
Remy was the first to find out about the sale of the property next to the Stone family’s residence as he acquired the Zimmers‘
company. That was how he could purchase the house before Clive.

He wanted to be neighbors with Elisa.
Remy would get to see Elisa often if they lived next to each other. Their frequent meetings would only increase his chances of
winning her heart.
“I’ll make Elisa the happiest woman alive like your wife is if Elisa and I end up together.”
Remy had front–row seats to his brother’s affectionate acts toward his wife. Thanks to his older. brother, Remy had acquired
plenty of ways to spoil his future wife.
“Be confident. I’m sure you’ll succeed when you put your mind to it.”
Zachary encouraged Remy. Elisa might as well grow old a spinster if she and Remy were not meant to be.
“I believe Mr. and Mrs. Stone are aware of my intention. Even Clive could tell. You saw the looks they gave me. They are merely
keeping it from Elisa.”
“It’s not that they don’t approve of you. They just think you come from a faraway place. Elisa is the apple of their eye, and as
parents, they are reluctant for their daughter to move far away after marriage. It takes great courage for a woman to move away
from familiar surroundings.”
One of Zachary’s uncles married someone who was not local to Wiltspoon. It had not been easy for his uncle back when he
pursued his wife.
His wife’s parents moved into Wildridge Manor for six months to observe the character of Zachary’s uncle and family. At the time,
the girl’s parents often put feelers out about Zachary’s uncle.
It was only when they were sure that Zachary’s uncle and family were good people that they agreed to the marriage.
The wife of Zachary’s uncle was well–loved in her family, and nobody wanted her to follow her husband to a faraway place.
If he had a daughter, Zachary believed he would not want her to move away and marry someone in a foreign land too.
“I’m aware they don’t want their daughter to move far away from them. That was why I bought the house. This will be my marital
home. My brother understands my plans, so he won’t shift me away from Wiltspoon. I will continue to oversee the business in
Wiltspoon.”
