Chapter 1273
“Mr. Johnson, why don’t you wait at the gazebo for now.”
The servant led Remy to the gazebo and apologized profusely for the inconvenience caused.
Remy was a very understanding man, “It’s okay, why don’t you get back to your work.”
He sat down at a stone–carved table under the gazebo and placed the snacks he brought for Elisa on the table.
He did not inquire what was going on inside the house.
Ever since he bought the villa next to the Stones, it gave him an excuse to regularly come over and pay a visit to the Stones. At this point, most of the housemaids in the family recognized and treated him very politely. They would respectfully invite him into the house every time he came around.
This time was the sole outlier where they did not invite him into the house immediately. He figured some sort of emergency must have happened and decided to not be too probing, especially since he was an outsider.
If they would not tell him, he would not ask either.
After all, he was nothing more than a neighbor.
“Mr. Johnson, let me get you a glass of water.”
Although they were not letting him into the house yet, they still made sure to make him feel welcome.
Remy thanked the maid with a bright smile.
The servant stepped out of the gazebo and quickly marched into the house.
Inside the house, Clive’s parents were huddled together on the couch. Mr. Stone was doing what he could to comfort his wife’s restlessness. “Clive is only doing this out of love for Alice, please don’t hold it against him. The boy is not in a rational state of mind right now.”
Serenity poured a glass of water for Mrs. Stone.
