Chapter 771
Besides the Hunt sisters and Sonny, Mrs. Stone also prepared a gift for Zachary.
Although it was not possible for him to become her son–in–law, her niece’s husband was still her in–law, so she was feeling a little more generous and prepared a gift for Zachary too.
“Mom.”
Elisa came down the stairs, dragging her luggage behind her.
Mrs. Stone hurriedly signaled for the butler to get out.
She stood up, walked towards her daughter, and said with a smile, “Why’d you take so long to pack?”
“I had to make sure I packed everything I needed to bring, you know. Where’s Clive and the rest?”
“They haven’t come down yet.”
Elisa lifted her luggage and descended the final few steps of the stairs. Mrs. Stone took a few steps forward, wanting to help her bring it down, but Elisa would not let her.
“Mom, what did you ask the butler to do just now?”
“I prepared some gifts for Liberty and her sister and wanted him to help send them over.”
Elisa hummed in acknowledgment, then said, “Liberty didn’t want to come with us, or else we could have brought her and Sonny with us. Sigh… I’ll have to go a long while without seeing Sonny again. Once we get back, Sonny will already be three years old.”
“In a few more days, you’ll be twenty–seven years old.”
Mrs. Stone reminded her daughter.
Once the new year arrived, everyone’s age would increase by one. The young would have grown up, while the old would have aged another year.
“Twenty–seven years old is still very young, Mom. Don’t nag me to get married. I haven’t found a suitable man for myself. There’s no rush–I’ll marry when I’m thirty. If a suitable person doesn’t appear before then, then I just won’t get married. I’ll accompany you and Dad for the rest of my life.”
Elisa Stone had very high standards. An ordinarily talented and handsome man was not enough for her.
Mrs. Stone said, “Oh, you. Don’t be so picky. As long as he’s gentle and can tolerate everything about you, it’s fine if his family status isn’t quite as high as ours.”
“That won’t do. If we’re not of equal status and my in–laws try to leech off me and treat me like an ATM, what should I do then? Men with that sort of background are terrifying.”
