Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 340 “Why are you so stubborn?”
“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.”
Clive took his sister‘s shoulders and said in distress, “Elisa, you‘ve already tried and seen the results. Zachary has never
warmed up to you. He has a heart of ice when it comes to you. You‘ll only be more hurt if you continue to go after him.

“It‘s not like no one else wants to marry you. Why bother pestering a man who doesn‘t love you?”
“I‘ve only been pursuing him for a short amount of time. Alice chased after you for an even longer time.”
Clive was speechless.

His sister watched the entire process of his wife pursuing him, which became a good example and gave his sister the courage to
chase after Zachary the same way. “Clive, help me investigate Zachary. I want to know if he‘s wearing that ring to trick me into
giving up, or if he‘s really married. If it‘s the latter... I‘m willing to give up!”

When Elisa uttered the last two words, her heart hurt as if it was being pricked by a thousand needles.
