Zachary: [You’re late. Were you able to walk in those stilettos p>
Serenity, taken aback, replied: [How did you know I was wearing stilettos p>
She had left the bookstore in flats.
Zachary responded honestly: [Elisa recorded a video of you walking and sent it to me. Thank you, Seren. You’re really putting in the effort p>
[I appreciate you trying to fit into my social circle for my sake p>
Serenity was typically easygoing and preferred comfortable clothing, but she was making an effort for him. The challenges she faced tugged at his heart, yet he felt grateful for her willingness to change. He vowed to cherish her for the rest of his life.
Serenity: [So Elisa ratted me out. I must have looked ridiculous in heels. I keep wanting to toss them aside. Sandals are so much more comfortable p>
People in Wiltspoon usually wore sandals.
[We ran into Mr. Johnson and invited him to sit down, which is why we left a bit later p>
Serenity was responding to her husband’s earlier inquiry.
Zachary, a bit surprised, asked: [How did you meet Mr. Johnson p>
Serenity: [He bought the large villa next to Aunt Audrey’s house. We encountered him while he was showing an interior designer around the property, so Elisa invited him in for tea. After all, they’ll be neighbors soon p>
The couple communicated via text, so Serenity confidently shared her thoughts with her husband.
[Zachary, I suspect Mr. Johnson purchased the Zimmers’ villa because he wants to be neighbors with Elisa p>
When her hand was injured and Elisa took her to the hospital for an IV drip, Remy was there too due to a stomach issue.
Although Remy had been cradling his stomach weakly, he immediately straightened up and pretended to be fine upon seeing Elisa.
He did this because he didn’t want Elisa to see him looking so unwell.
Elisa’s opinion of him mattered to him. Back then, Serenity suspected that Remy was interested in Elisa. However, since Elisa had just given up on Zachary, she refrained from asking questions and quietly observed from the sidelines.
Now, Remy had purchased the Zimmers’ villa and become neighbors with the Stones. Serenity couldn’t help but wonder if this was Remy’s way of preparing for the future. Living in such close proximity would provide more opportunities for them to grow closer.
Zachary, on the other hand, was indifferent about who Elisa ended up with, as long as she stopped bothering him. He responded to his beloved wife, saying, “Remy is a good man p>
“Seren, who are you texting? Your phone is vibrating non-stop,” Elisa suddenly leaned over to ask. Serenity quickly replied, “It’s nothing. I’m just chatting with Zachary and asking what he’s up to p>
Upon hearing that Serenity was messaging Zachary, Elisa sat up straight and teased, “You two just made up, and you’re already flaunting your love in front of us. If you keep acting all lovey-dovey, you’ll make us jealous p>
In unison, Audrey and Serenity chimed in, “If you’re jealous, then hurry up and find a boyfriend p>
Elisa was left speechless, realizing she had forgotten that her mother was also in the car.
