Remy smiled and said, “I won’t blame Mrs. Stone. She is worried and can’t bear to part with you. It’s because I haven’t done enough and not well enough to make her feel at ease about entrusting you to me.
“I will keep trying my best.”
As the two got in the car, Remy asked her, “Where do you want to eat?”
“I’ll eat wherever you take me.”
Remy smiled, she trusted him completely.
He started the car and drove away.
Elisa said again, “After we eat, can you accompany me to Wiltspoon School? Seren and Jasmine’s bookstore has recently opened. Jasmine is bored at home, and the market is far from the city. Josh won’t let her go to the market, so she opened the bookstore early.”
Jasmine, the gem of the Sox family, would even go back to the bookstore to pass time, even if there was not much business. She would visit other stores every day to chat.
“Okay,” he replied.
“Josh and Julian are cousins and have a good relationship. Perhaps Josh knows why he did this. Once he knows, Jasmine will do too.”
Elisa could not feel at ease without understanding Julian’s motives.
“Josh may not know about this.”
Remy said while driving, “Julian may not let Josh know about this. Don’t ask Ms. Sox directly. Just ask Julian if there have been any recent developments, but do it subtly.”
Elisa thought for a moment and said, “I wonder who asked Julian to interfere.”
Remy thought deeply for a moment and said, “Mr. Reading seems to have been absent for some time.”
