Chapter 1579
On the other end, Remy continued watching the builders work after the phone call with Zachary.
Remy also called the florist for a delivery of a bouquet of roses in the evening.
Time passed quickly.
The sun went over the horizon.
The florist delivered the large bouquet of roses as Remy had ordered.
After paying for the flowers, Remy carried the bouquet and took strides to the Stones’ residence.
Since the two houses were close by, it only took less than two minutes on foot for Remy to get to the front gate of the Stones’ residence.
Remy was about to ring the doorbell when Clive walked out of the house.
Ditching the idea of pressing the doorbell, Remy waited for Clive to come over.
Two minutes later, Clive stood before Remy. Both were around the same height and imposing in presence. They engaged in a stare-down.
“These flowers are… blinding.”
Clive broke the silence.
Sure, he admired Remy for the man he was, but Clive took a protective stance for Elisa now that Remy was openly pursuing her. Clive wanted nothing more than to dump the flowers in the trash can and tell Remy to get lost. He was not going to give her sister’s hand in marriage to just about anyone.
Keeping a good attitude, Remy lowered his gaze to the bouquet of roses and replied, “The flowers are beautiful and dazzling. I mean, they are blinding too-gorgeously blinding.
“I don’t think Elisa is out.”
Remy had been keeping an eye out for the Stones’ activity, so he knew Elisa had been home all afternoon to keep her mother company.
Even Clive and his wife stayed at home.
Darrell and Anthony were the only ones who had been out and about.
