Elisa was picked up by her sister-in-law in the end while the smashed car was towed away.
When Alice came by, Elisa even said, “Since Zachary wrecked my car, I have an excuse to cling to him. Alice, now that I made the first move, I need to keep going. I won’t forgive myself if I don’t put in the years to pursue Zachary.
“Alice, you’re the best. Clive only listens to you. Please talk to him for me. I just need him off my back from my pursuit of happiness.”
Elisa was envious of her brother and sister-in-law’s love story. Alice went after Clive, and it took a year before Alice won his heart. The roles were reversed after marriage as Clive spoiled Alice crazy.
It was not the first time Alice mentioned that she would not have her happy ending if she did not bravely go after the love of her life.
While driving, Alice uttered, “Elisa, I’m all for you pursuing your happiness, but it’s Zachary we’re talking about. Aren’t you aware of his reputation in Wiltspoon? He’s known for keeping a distance from women. Have you seen any young women around him?
“Besides, our family is not on good terms with the Yorks. Your brother might not be an enemy of Zachary, but they’re rivals at the end of the day. They don’t see eye-to-eye. I’m worried Zachary might use you as a weapon or a punching bag.”
“I don’t think he’ll do that. The Yorks hold themselves in high regard. The men of the family are famous for spoiling their wives.”
Having witnessed the love between her brother and sister-in-law, Elisa looked forward to sharing the same intimacy with her future husband.
Among the upper crust of Wiltspoon, York’s men stood out for putting their wives above everything.
“No matter what, your brother is only doing it for your own good. We’ll save this conversation for another day, Elisa. Mom is waiting for us at the Hermès store. Let’s get some fresh air with Mom. She’s been feeling down because of that thing with her sister.”
Pursing her lips, Elisa replied, “Mom and her sister have been apart for so many years. God knows how many times her sister had been through the adoption system. Her sister might have lost the photograph too. We’re looking for a needle in a haystack here.”
“Still, we have to try.”
Elisa remained without a word.
