When admiring someone, all of that person’s shortcomings would turn into strong points. On the other hand, hating someone would cause even that person’s strengths to turn into flaws.
“Good evening, Ms. Stone.”
Andrew returned Elisa’s greeting with a smile.
He looked behind Elisa.
There was no sign of Mrs. Stone.
It was Mrs. Stone who had invited him over for a meal. He thought she would be present.
Mrs. Stone was being too polite. He stopped his car to ask her what had happened simply because he saw her sitting on the floor. He also drove her home afterward. It was a slight effort. and no big deal to him.
However, she treated Andrew like her life savior. Her excessive enthusiasm and gratitude made him feel pressured.
Elisa had also called him countless times to treat him to a meal and repay his kindness.
He refused all of them politely.
However, Mrs. Stone invited him repeatedly that day. Andrew only agreed to the dinner to regain his peace and quiet. He thought Mrs. Stone would not bother him anymore after having one meal together and letting her feel like she had repaid his kindness.
“My mom is waiting for you in a private room, Mr. Reading,” Elisa explained.
Andrew let out a breath of relief.
It was fine as long as he was not having a meal with Elisa alone.
Although he thought Elisa had changed a lot, he did not want to eat with her alone. He feared the paparazzi would take pictures and create a scandal that would become a trending topic.
His identity in Wiltspoon was overly sensitive.
As the nephew of the York family’s head missus and Zachary’s cousin, his scandal would easily top the trending charts.
The Readings kept an extremely low profile. He did not wish to become the first Reading to be a trending headline. novelbin
“After you, Mr. Reading.”
Elisa invited Andrew into the hotel.
He nodded politely and went into the hotel with her.
They soon reached the private room. Elisa opened the door and gestured for Andrew to enter.
Once he went inside and saw that Mrs. Stone and Remy were present, he relaxed immediately.
“Mrs. Stone, Mr. Johnson,” Andrew greeted.
Remy stood up to welcome him and gestured for him to sit.
Mrs. Stone also greeted Andrew with a smile. She was exceptionally friendly to him.
Andrew chose to sit beside Remy. After sitting, he grinned and said to Mrs. Stone, “You’re too kind, Mrs. Stone. It was no trouble at all.”
“It was no trouble to you, but you saved me. I’m indebted to you. I’ve always separated gratitude. and grudges clearly. I’ll repay the kindnesses I’ve received and take revenge on those who’ve wronged me. Don’t be too formal with me in the future, Andrew. If you don’t give me a chance to
repay you, I won’t even be able to eat in peace.”
The Stones and the Yorks could be considered relatives.
It would be normal for the Stones to interact with the Reading family.
Mrs. Stone was looking at Andrew as a mother–in–law would her son–in–law. She got fonder of him
the more she looked at him.
Unfortunately, her precious daughter could not understand her painstaking efforts.
“I’m here now, Mrs. Stone. I wasn’t being modest. I was really busy,” Andrew defended himself a little.
He could not admit it even though he had rejected them on purpose.
“You still have to eat no matter how busy you are. After eating here this time, you can come over to our house for a meal the next time. I’ll personally cook some of my signature dishes for you to have a taste.”
Mrs. Stone looked toward Elisa and said to Andrew, “The soup Elisa makes is extremely delicious. I’ll have her cook some for you when that time comes.”
When Elisa wooed Zachary in the past, she often made breakfast and soup filled with love for him. It had refined her skills in making tasty soups.
