Josh often did romantic things for Jasmine, so she was not surprised at all. He had a high IQ and EQ, after all. On the other hand, Zachary had a high IQ but low EQ. When Josh gave him relationship advice, he often roasted him for not being open-minded. It was not easy for Zachary to go this far for Serenity. No wonder she was so moved that she slept through the first half of the day. Serenity said sweetly, “He changed a lot for me. He deserves me putting in effort for him.” A married couple who were willing to give and put their hearts into their marriage would last a long time. “I’m so envious.” “You’re the object of other people’s envy too.” Jasmine chuckled. “That’s right. I like to be the object of other people’s envy. I feel happy and blessed ever since Josh appeared. My ears are also free from noise now that my family no longer arranges blind dates for me—even my aunt stopped doing so.” “Your aunt must be smiling from ear to ear now. She really wanted you to ma
After finishing the treats sent by Josh, Jasmine picked up her phone and sent him a message: [Mr. Bucham, the treats you sent over are delicious. I liked them. Love you!] Mr. Bucham replied almost instantly: [If you like them, I’ll send two more boxes over to you tomorrow.] Raising a foodie was the easiest thing for Josh. He just needed to cater to her tastes. “Elisa didn’t come over today,” Jasmine said casually. Serenity responded, “Her best friend has just broken up. She needs to go comfort her.” In fact, Elisa was not comforting her best friend who had fallen out of love but was visiting her new neighbor. Elisa was going to head out in the afternoon. When she drove past her neighbor’s villa, she saw that the gate was open and the car Remy used to take was parked inside. It happened that Remy was just standing in the courtyard, so she stopped her car. She initially wanted to greet Remy, but he invited her into his villa for a stroll. Hence, she parked her car in front
Elisa was quick to promise Remy, “Call me whenever you’re here, and I’ll come over and give you some advice. I guarantee your future wife will be very satisfied with your renovated house. When the time comes, you’ll have to reward me with huge compensation.” Remy said with a smile, “You’ll be greatly rewarded.” Elisa looked at his smiling face and realized that he was always like that when he talked—always smiling before he spoke. Remy’s smile was as warm as the spring breeze, making one unconsciously open up one’s heart in front of him. “Okay, I’ll be your renovation consultant.” Remy thanked her with a smile. “Let’s go. I’ll buy you a coffee.” “I usually don’t drink coffee or tea in the afternoon.” Remy was speechless. Elisa was overjoyed when she saw that he was flustered. She laughed and added, “I don’t drink coffee in the afternoon, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t go to a café. Which café are you bringing me to?” “In my spare time, I usually have coffee and lis
Elisa asked, “Are you… taking me as your guardian angel?” Remy said without blushing, “I’ll pay for your service.” Elisa laughed and said, “I wasn’t familiar with your family in the past. After meeting you, I purposely asked my brother about your family and learned that you’re the least skilled in self-defense among your brothers, so you always have bodyguards with you when you go out, right?” “Mm. I was very chubby as a child, and people who are too fat don’t like to exercise. I also slacked when practicing kung fu, and the result is that I have the poorest skills among my brothers. Left with no choice, I had to hire bodyguards.” Among Remy and his nine brothers, he was the only one who had bodyguards following him everywhere. The others would only occasionally bring a few bodyguards for show. Remy would feel unsafe without his bodyguards. Elisa started her car and said, “I'm a weak lady, but I don’t have bodyguards with me when I go out. I only bring a few with me when I
“Elisa, are we considered friends now?” asked Remy as he tilted his head.Elisa looked at him and then focused on driving again. She answered with a smile, “We’re friends, and we’re also neighbors.” Remy looked quietly at her side profile. She was a bright girl, and her beauty was known. “Then can I ask you a personal question?” “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I think I can, but please forgive me if I can’t. Everyone has the right to protect their privacy.” Remy smiled and asked, “What kind of men do you like? Besides Mr. York.” He naturally knew about Elisa’s pursuit of Zachary. After all, he had a good relationship with both York Corporation and Zachary himself. In addition, Elisa was very high profile when she pursued Zachary in the past. Remy could not have not known even if he tried to. Elisa fell silent. “Elisa, I’m sorry. I’m just curious. I think you’re a very nice girl. It’s not your problem that Mr. York doesn’t like you; it’s just that he had met his type
‘Did Clive come to Wiltspoon Hotel again?’ Elisa wondered. Stone Group also had a five-star hotel under its umbrella, and Clive used to talk business with clients at their hotel. The last time he set foot in Wiltspoon Hotel was because an important client stayed here. “What’s the matter?” Remy asked with concern when he saw Elisa staring at the car next to hers. “Nothing. I just saw my big brother’s car—this is his. Remy, let’s go have coffee, but let’s hurry up and leave after we finish our drinks. My brother will probably take some time if he’s talking about business. If we’re fast, we won’t be seen by him,” Elisa explained and turned around to walk into the hotel. Remy kept up with her and walked side by side with her. He asked, “Are you afraid that your brother will see us having coffee together?” “I’m not afraid, but I don’t want him to misunderstand.” Remy smiled and said, “That’s true.” They were both single, so anyone who saw them having coffee together would misu
Elisa did not know that Clive would return. After she entered the hotel café on the first floor with Remy, Remy ordered a glass of fruit juice for her, while he ordered a cup of coffee.“Won’t you have trouble sleeping if you drink coffee now?”Elisa ordered some pastry as well.“No. I have a huge workload to deal with. If I don’t drink coffee, I won’t be able to stay awake until late at night.”His work schedule was so packed that he had to work late hours every day. If one day he had the chance to hold one of the most important days of his life, he would definitely find time to relax.“Elisa.”Shortly after the two of them started chatting, Clive came in and saw them sitting by the window. While walking toward them, he shouted at his sister.Elisa turned her head, only to see her brother walking toward him. She felt as though she was caught by her parents.Wait. Just now, when she bumped into her brother at the hotel entrance, he was made aware that she was drinking coffee
Most importantly, Elisa and Remy could get along well.“I’m in charge of all the businesses of FC & Co. in Wiltspoon. I’ll be staying in Wiltspoon for a long time, so it’s equivalent to settling down here. I’ll return to FC Manor occasionally, but I’ll be more of a guest. My mom always says that I treat FC Manor like a hotel as I usually stay for only two nights.”Elisa placed her hand under the table and poked her brother. After that, she leaned forward and whispered to her brother, “Clive, it’s very abrupt of you to keep asking Remy those personal questions. You two aren’t even close.”Elisa only became familiar with Remy after meeting him several times.Clive’s eyes settled on his sister.Was she not interested in Remy at all?Clive was helping Elisa to fish for information in advance.He recalled that when Elisa pursued Zachary, she ended up feeling hurt and becoming an object of ridicule.Clive took pity on her and understood that she had no feelings for Remy. It was proba
