Serenity understood that it would take a while for Elisa to let go of her feelings for Mr. York. Elisa had not pestered Mr. York for a long time. She was probably here now because she wanted to secretly take a look at Mr. York.
It must be painful for Elisa to fall in love with someone who did not love her back.
“I’ve had the milk tea here a few times before, and I think the milk tea and desserts in this store are quite nice, so I came here to try them again. But now, I just find them average.”
Elisa said it very naturally as if she actually came here just to drink milk tea.
She had indeed tried the milk tea from the same shop before and thought it was delicious. Maybe because back then, it was worth the wait.
Now, she found it mediocre because she no longer had someone to wait for.
“Are you here to wait for your husband to get off work? Since he’s back from his business trip, when will you bring him to my house?”
“Probably after New Year. He’s very busy now and can’t spare any time to visit.”
Elisa nodded in understanding. She said, “Would you like to go in and have a cup of milk tea?”
“No, I won’t be able to eat lunch later if I drink milk tea now, then Liberty will start nagging me for wasting food.”
Elisa smiled and said, “Is Liberty doing well right now? My mother wants to help you both, but you two refused, so she has no choice but to watch silently.”
The Hunt sisters were poor and ambitious.
“My sister and I are still young and capable enough to earn a living by our own means. Aunt Audrey doesn’t have to worry about us. She should worry about you and Anthony’s marriage instead.”
Elisa smiled. “My second brother is really sly. He doesn’t want to get married so soon, and none of us can do anything about him. As for me… Well, you know I can’t forget about him for a while…”
“Elisa, you deserve better.”
Elisa said confidently, “I think so too!”
The two ladies looked at each other and smiled.
