Chapter 236
“We just finished.”
Jasmine quickly cleaned up the dishes, and Elisa asked out of curiosity, “There are four sets of cutlery. Is there someone else?”
Jasmine said while cleaning up, “Serenity’s grandmother-inlaw came over. She’s in the washroom now.”
Elisa hummed and stopped asking.
She was aware of Serenity’s marriage. Due to the trending news before, she even told her brother to fire John Hunt. She understood Serenity and the Hunt family’s disputes more than others, so undoubtedly she knew Serenity was married too.
Not many people from the outside world knew about it. Elisa was not a nosy person, so she did not ask about Serenity’s love life.
After Jasmine cleaned up the table, Serenity poured a glass of water for Elisa.
“Why are you back from vacation so soon, Ms. Stone?”
“It’s because I’m worried about my sweetheart, of course. I was with my parents by the beach for two days and came back to the city last night. I have something to tell you, Serenity. This morning, I went to block Mr. York’s car the way you taught me, and I actually succeeded!”
Elisa could not wait to share her success story with Serenity. Serenity laughed. “Really? Did you guys talk? Mr. York helped you, right?”
“Yes, but also no.”
Elisa dimmed for a moment before saying, “I didn’t talk with him because he refused to get out of the car. It’s as if he’s afraid that I’ll eat him up. My car broke down, so I wanted to ride in his car, but he wouldn’t let me in.
“However, he let his bodyguards get out of their cars and helped move my car to the side to not block the way for other cars. Mind you, it was broken down on purpose. Anyway, I guess he did help me in that aspect, but he didn’t help me all the way. I used your method, but it was only half a success.”
Elisa quickly cheered up again. ‘At least Zachary didn’t leave me and my car there. He told his bodyguards to help move my car to the side.
“This shows that his heart is actually not made of stone. ‘If I keep this method up, one day, he’ll let me into his car.’ “It’s a pity I couldn’t get in his car and have a few words with him alone,” Elisa lamented.
“I was thinking that I’d have an excuse to buy him dinner and thank him for the ride if I got into his car, but I didn’t get the opportunity.”
Serenity laughed. “Who said you didn’t get the opportunity? Didn’t he tell his bodyguards to help you move your car? He helped you, so you can use this excuse to go up to him and invite him to dinner, or send him some gifts as thanks.” Elisa’s eyes lit up as she heard Serenity’s idea. “You’re right. Why didn’t I think of that?”
Serenity teased her, “You wanted to reach the finish line at one go, so you neglected the details.”
Elisa was not offended by the teasing and said magnanimously, “I’ve had a crush on him for many years. I was conflicted and forced myself to give up on him in the past, but I like him too much to let him go, so I mustered the courage to chase after him instead. Loving someone abundantly means wanting more from that person.” She was anxious to win Zachary over. She wanted to get a marriage license with him immediately and become husband and wife.
Old Mrs. York, who was hiding from Elisa in the washroom, could hear the conversation between Serenity and her. Since the two girls were not on guard against anyone, they spoke openly and did not lower their volume.
Despite her old age, Old Mrs. York’s hearing did not deteriorate, so she could hear their conversation clearly.
She never expected Serenity to teach Elisa how to pursue Zachary.
‘What a good show this is!
She was not anxious for her grandson but was rejoicing over her grandson’s misfortune instead.
‘It’s that little brat’s fault for pretending to be poor to deceive Serenity.
