Chapter 667
“His boss made arrangements for me to get there. I need to rush there now,” Serenity replied.
‘You should hurry there then. His boss will probably have a private plane ready for you if he approves the arrangement. You’ll get there quicker. Clive, you should take Seren there.”
Mrs. Stone thought the boss Serenity mentioned was Zachary. Knowing that the Yorks had a private jet, she felt assured enough to let Serenity go.
Several minutes later, Clive drove Serenity out of the Stones’ residence.
Enter title…
While on the way, Clive said to Serenity, “I have a somewhat unreasonable request to ask of you, Serenity.”
“Do say, Clive.”
While behind the wheel, Clive said, ‘You must know that Elisa was in love with
Mr. York. Although she said she would let go of her feelings for him, you can’t stop loving someone after going at it for years. It would take some time before she could embrace reality wholeheartedly.”
Serenity’s mind harked back to Shawn.
This was the case with Shawn toward her as well.
Shawn knew it was wrong to pester her, but he could not control himself. He could not let go of his feelings for her right away.
“I know.”
Serenity added, “It’s easy to fall in love, but it’s hard to forget someone you love dearly.”
She had never really experienced love before.
However, she had developed feelings for Zachary. The thought that she and
Zachary may one day break up made her upset. It would take her a long time to get over it and boldly face reality.
Serenity replied, “It’s better to smile than to cry through life. I understand the pain Elisa’s hiding, but I believe she’ll get over it soon. She’ll meet a man for herself.”
Clive answered, “I hope she’ll move on soon enough.”
He was thinking about keeping her sister away when Zachary was to return and visit his mother. Only his parents should know that Serenity’s husband was Zachary.
Clive trusted that his parents would do the same as he and Alice would in keeping the matter from Elisa.
“Elisa is a nice girl. She’s strong. I believe she’ll meet a good man.” Clive said with a smile, “No wonder Elisa hit it off and got along with you before knowing you were cousins. She sees you as a friend. You’re the first to say that she’s a nice girl.
‘The public doesn’t take well to Elisa. Many heiresses think Elisa is arrogant and willful. There were people making fun of her when she went after Mr. York. She doesn’t have many real friends.”
“I think Elisa is a sensitive girl. She doesn’t care about putting up a façade. You get what you see. She doesn’t have to be pretentious because she has the means to live life the way she wants. She doesn’t care what anyone else has to say.”
Clive responded, “You don’t know Elisa for long, but you have a good idea of her personality. Serenity, you’re a good judge of character.”
