“Didn‘t you go to York Corporation to wait for Zachary today? How many times have I said this? Zachary isn‘t suitable for you, nor will he fall in love with you, but you don‘t believe me and refuse to give up. Did you get hurt by him again?
Clive got up and walked around his desk. When his sister came closer, he looked at her pale face with distress. “What did Zachary do to you?”
He was not in favor of his sister‘s pursuit of Zachary, but he would never allow Zachary to hurt her.
“Clive.”
Elisa grabbed her brother‘s arm and asked anxiously,“ Clive, tell me quickly. Is Zachary single or married?”
Clive was stunned and said, “Why are you asking this question? Everyone in Wiltspoon knows that Zachary is single. He doesn‘t even have a friend of the opposite sex. With his kind of temperament, he doesn‘t allow young
women to approach him unless they’re relatives. Only you have the audacity to openly pursue him.
“I even told Zachary that it‘s thanks to you that he can have the experience of being wooed. He‘ll be forever alone with no one to appreciate him.” “Zachary was wearing a ring on his left ring finger. Is he really single? Could it be that we just didn‘t know that he was married?”
“…Zachary is wearing a wedding band? But he‘s really not married.”
The two companies were fierce competitors, and Clive had always kept an eye on Zachary. He would be the first to know if Zachary got married.
Furthermore, with Zachary‘s identity, how could no one know that he got married? His marriage would be a sensation in Wiltspoon.
“Then why is he wearing a wedding ring?”
Clive said in amusement, “How would I know? Maybe he wore it on a whim. Many people do that. Unmarried people also wear a ring or two, and people trying to show off their wealth will even wear rings on all ten fingers.
“I once saw an upstart who did that exact same thing. He wore gold rings on all ten fingers, a thick gold chain, gold bracelets on both wrists, a gold watch, and so on. In short, he was completely decked out in gold. It was like he was worried that people wouldn‘t know he was rich.”
People like them who were truly rich kept a much lower profile.
In their circle, people who adorned themselves with jewelry all over their body were just upstarts.
“Did he wear a ring on his left ring finger purposely to make me give up on him?”
Clive pulled his sister to the sofa to take a seat. He poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her. Then, he sat down beside her and flicked her head and said dotingly, “My sister is the smartest.
“Elisa, since you know that Zachary is doing this to make you give up, you should just give up. There are many young talents in Wiltspoon. As long as you like someone who isn‘t Zachary, I‘ll try my best to bring you two together.”
Elisa‘s face was not as pale after she realized that Zachary only did that to make her give up. She took a sip of warm water and said, “As long as Zachary is still single, I have my eyes set on him. I‘m not marrying anyone except him!” Unless he was already married.
“Yeah, I‘m just that stubborn.”
Clive was exasperated.
“Zachary won‘t develop feelings for you, and the York family won‘t pick you either.”
He analyzed for his sister. “Old Mrs. York is an adult child. Out of her nine grandchildren, except for the youngest two who aren‘t at marriageable age yet, the remaining seven are ready to get married. She‘s looking forward to her grandchildren getting married.
“It‘s been some time since you publicly professed to Zachary, but what did Old Mrs. York do? She did nothing. It‘s as if she doesn‘t know that you‘re pursuing Zachary. Do you know why? It‘s because she doesn‘t want you as her eldest granddaughter–in–law.
“Otherwise, with her personality, she‘ll definitely encourage Zachary if she knows that someone is openly pursuing him. She might even do something excessive like wrapping him up and sending him to your bed so you two can do the deed. That way, she‘ll be able to have a great grandchild as soon as possible. “If Zachary and you sleep together, both the York and Stone families will tell Zachary to take responsibility for you even if he doesn‘t want to marry you as a wife.”
Zachary was a very responsible man.
Maybe that was why he always went around with an entourage of bodyguards wlio maintained a protective circle three meters around him, not allowing young women to approach him unless they were relatives. It was because he was afraid that someone would try to use this method to get him.
Elisa said, “…Maybe Old Mrs. York doesn‘t know that I‘m pursuing Zachary.” “Just keep lying to yourself. Do you know who Old Mrs. York was when she was young? She was the boss of an intelligence circle. There‘s nothing that can slip past her unless it‘s something she doesn‘t want to know. Your public confession to Zachary made the trending news. Old Mrs. York is neither blind nor deaf, so there‘s no way she doesn‘t know that you like Zachary.
“Since she didn‘t make a move, it means that she doesn‘t fancy you as her eldest granddaughter–in–law. The York family is good, and their elders are open–minded. As long as the young ones have a partner they like, the elders won‘t get in their way. However, it‘s very difficult to please elders who don‘t like you after marriage.”
“Elisa, listen to me. Stop going after Zachary. I admit that Zachary is exceptional, but he‘s not suitable for you. You‘ll only hurt yourself if you carry on like this. He doesn‘t love you at all, so it won‘t be painful for him.”
There would only be pain if there was love.
Going after someone who did not love you was like trying to get through an iron bastion. It was a fruitless endeavor.
Elisa said sadly, “Clive, it‘s easy to fall in love with someone, but it‘s hard to give up on a person you love very much. It’s not like I‘ve never tried giving up on him. I tried for several years, but I couldn‘t do it. That‘s why I went all out to publicly confess to him and chase after him.
“I think I should still try. Even if I fail, at least I‘ve tried, so I won‘t regret it. If I give up without even trying, it‘ll be a thorn in my heart forever. I might have missed out on someone whom I love. That‘s something very, very painful.”
I will never understand Elisa. She thinks she is in Love. SMH!
