“What’s your decision, Ms. Crawford?”Julian asked Quinn whether she wanted to go to Wildridge Manor. Quinn searched for images of the manor on her phone, but nothing came up. “Why can’t I find any pictures of Wildridge Manor?”“That’s for sure. It’s the York family’s manor. How can they let just anyone take pictures when that’s where they live? I can guarantee that you won’t regret visiting the manor.”Since Julian already obtained Zachary’s permission, Quinn agreed as she was also interested in the York family. “Let’s visit the place then. Are you free tomorrow, Mr. Bucham? I wish to bring the children there tomorrow.”“I’m free anytime. I don’t have to be at the company daily anyway. I call the shots, so no one has a say in what I do.”There was truly no one who could control him, except for his parents.“What will you guys be doing this evening?” Julian asked. “I’m taking the kids to a nearby park for a walk. We saw a huge park nearby when we were on the bus. There were
Quinn agreed with Julian. They chatted during the meal like they were old friends. Julian’s personality was similar to Quinn’s, so they got along well. He was glad that the woman destined for him was a perfect match in every way.…Meanwhile, at Johnson Group, a subsidiary of FC & Co., where Remy was in charge of the company. He was the CEO assigned by the headquarters to be stationed at Wiltspoon long-term.Remy returned to the company from the Stones’ villa in the evening.Everyone noticed that their boss’s mood had changed. There was a serious expression on his handsome face. Who offended Mr. Johnson?Remy was the most easy-going person among the men of the Johnsons. He would smile at everyone, even when he was talking. With that, people let their guard down unconsciously. He rarely looked tense or had stern expressions. Did something serious happen in the company?Everyone had their guesses, but no one dared to ask. They worked harder than usual that day, fearing so
Ben asked, “What happened?”Elisa was Remy’s girlfriend, and they often showed up as a pair. Why would Walter propose marriage to the Stones?“Remy, should I inform our grandparents and parents about this? We can prepare some gifts and pay the Stones a visit to ask for their daughter’s hand in marriage as well.”Ben felt his family was not inferior to the Buchams, and his brother was not lacking compared to Julian too. Remy had never sought help from his family when it came to matters related to him and Elisa. His parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law were concerned about his love life. He told them not to worry and that he would definitely win the heart of the girl he loved. He would marry her and spoil her. Since he said so, his family did not interfere and simply waited for his news. Otherwise, based on Antonia’s personality, she would have been desperate to fly to Wiltspoon with a marriage proposal on behalf of her youngest son. However, Remy said the timing was not ri
Ben had a more challenging time. “Getting engaged first isn’t a bad idea.”Remy suddenly felt getting married right away was unrealistic. He and Elisa could be like Callum and Camryn. They could get engaged and hold an engagement party first. Every influential figure in Wiltspoon would be invited. That way, everyone would know that Elisa was his fiancée. By then, he dared anyone to still be his love rival. “Mm, we’ll definitely get it settled for you two. Don’t worry.”After confiding in Ben and seeking his family’s assistance, Remy felt slightly more at ease. His family was great. As long as they worked together, they could surely get Audrey to approve of his and Elisa’s marriage. If that still could not work, his grandparents could intervene as well. At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Remy said, “Ben, I have a guest. I’ll have to hang up now. You can tell Jane to start preparing some gifts with Mom.”“Okay. You can go on with your stuff. With me handling
Remy was still all smiles. “I’ve never experienced being given a stalk of grass. I shall wait for you to do so.”“That’s simple. I can get you a sack of grass the next time I go to the market.”“Should I rear a cow too?”Elisa smiled sweetly. “Don’t you dare feed the grass I gave you to a cow.”“I wouldn’t.”Elisa took two sets of new clothes from the shopping bags and gave them to Remy. “Do you like them? I bought this brand because all your clothes come from them. There are shirts, suits, and many other things.”She even bought a dozen underwear for Remy but was too embarrassed to take them out. She stuffed them into the bags. He would see them after getting home and taking the clothes out. Remy put the bouquet down. He browsed Elisa’s shopping haul and beamed. “Of course I like the clothes you bought. Their sizes fit me perfectly too.”“You silly. Of course I’ll buy clothes that fit you.“There are two neckties too.”Elisa retrieved them. Lastly, she revealed the watch.
Among Remy's elder brothers, only the third eldest remained unmarried, but he already had someone in mind. As Remy and Elisa were dating, it was his younger brothers who were concerned about being targeted by Jane. They would get nervous every time they saw her.However, they had to meet her frequently because no one could resist Clo-clo.Elisa knew Jane used to write novels. She had even read them before. She asked, “Is Jane not writing anymore? I think her novels are good. Perhaps it’s because I rarely read fiction, but I felt she was extremely creative the first time I read her book.”“Jane’s busy now. She probably doesn’t have time to write. She writes occasionally, but nothing is published. We’re even her source of inspiration.”Elisa giggled. “You can request her to portray you as the protagonist in her story and assign you a harem.”“If I become the protagonist of her novel, the female lead will definitely be you.”Elisa laughed. She suddenly hugged Remy’s neck and kis
After the kiss, Elisa caressed Remy’s face before asking softly, “Are you still angry?”He left soft kisses on her face. “I’m relieved that Julian has found the woman destined for him, but I was still shocked. You should be nice to me to calm me down.”Elisa smiled, “I gave you presents and kisses. Isn’t that nice enough?”Remy pressed her head against his chest and chuckled. “Yes.”“Such a thing probably won’t happen again. If it does, I’ll probably have a heart attack.“We should get engaged as soon as possible and have an extravagant celebration. Let’s make it even grander than Callum and Camryn’s engagement party.”Elisa replied, “I’ll be waiting for you to throw the grandest engagement party Wiltspoon has ever seen.”Then, she left his embrace and asked, “Are you busy? You can continue working. I have to return to my office too.”Remy pulled her back. “Since you’re here, spend some time with me. I’m no longer in the mood to work.”He almost lost his wife. How could he be
Remy did not hide his disgust for the color red. He found it too bright. He and Elisa had opposing opinions about the color; she liked the brightness it held but he hated it. “I’ll exchange them for another color later.”Remy looked toward Elisa and whispered something in her ear. Elisa blushed, but her eyes were filled with anticipation. She said, “Okay. You can keep them. I’ll take note not to buy anything red for you in the future.“It’ll be better if you’re willing to crossdress for me. You’re so handsome. You’ll look good in women’s clothes.”Remy’s expression turned serious. He reminded her sternly, “I’m a man, Elisa. How can a cool guy wear women’s clothing?“I want us to be husband and wife, not look like sisters.”Elisa laughed. “It seems like none of you are willing to crossdress.”“Did Serenity or Jasmine request their men to do the same?”“Zachary and Josh will never wear women’s clothes.” Elisa did not give a direct answer. In fact, Serenity and Jasmine had neve
