Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 667
“His boss made arrangements for me to get there. I need to rush there now,” Serenity replied.
‘You should hurry there then. His boss will probably have a private plane ready for you if he approves the arrangement. You’ll get
there quicker. Clive, you should take Seren there.”
Mrs. Stone thought the boss Serenity mentioned was Zachary. Knowing that the Yorks had a private jet, she felt assured enough
to let Serenity go.
Several minutes later, Clive drove Serenity out of the Stones’ residence.
Enter title...
While on the way, Clive said to Serenity, “I have a somewhat unreasonable request to ask of you, Serenity.”
“Do say, Clive.”
While behind the wheel, Clive said, ‘You must know that Elisa was in love with
Mr. York. Although she said she would let go of her feelings for him, you can’t stop loving someone after going at it for years. It
would take some time before she could embrace reality wholeheartedly.”
Serenity’s mind harked back to Shawn.
This was the case with Shawn toward her as well.
Shawn knew it was wrong to pester her, but he could not control himself. He could not let go of his feelings for her right away.
“I know.”
Serenity added, “It’s easy to fall in love, but it’s hard to forget someone you love dearly.”
She had never really experienced love before.
However, she had developed feelings for Zachary. The thought that she and
Zachary may one day break up made her upset. It would take her a long time to get over it and boldly face reality.

Serenity could detach herself.
Still, it was easier said than done. How many people could actually do it?
“I think you should refrain from mentioning your husband and his company to Elisa. Elisa would think about Mr. York if York
Corporation was mentioned. Since your husband’s last name is also York, it would drift Elisa’s mind to Mr. York.”
It never crossed Serenity’s mind that Clive would make such a request.
After much thought. Serenity believed Clive had a point. Although her husband had no relations to the wealthy and great Mr.
York, they still shared the same last name. There was a possibility that Elisa would be reminded of Mr. York just by the mention
of the surname.
‘You’re right, Clive. I’ll stop talking about my husband in front of Elisa.”
At least, she did not intend to say her husband’s last name out loud.
Feeling bad, Clive uttered, “I’m sorry, Serenity. It’s an imposing request. Please understand that I’m looking out for my sister.
“I disapprove of her going for Mr. York. Elisa can’t handle Mr. York. He didn’t like her anyway, but she refused to listen. She
needed to fall on her own to move on.
“She may look happy every day as if nothing ever happened, but she feels down. She hides her pain behind her smile.”
Serenity replied, “It’s better to smile than to cry through life. I understand the pain Elisa’s hiding, but I believe she’ll get over it
soon. She’ll meet a man for herself.”
Clive answered, “I hope she’ll move on soon enough.”
He was thinking about keeping her sister away when Zachary was to return and visit his mother. Only his parents should know
that Serenity’s husband was Zachary.
Clive trusted that his parents would do the same as he and Alice would in keeping the matter from Elisa.
“Elisa is a nice girl. She’s strong. I believe she’ll meet a good man.” Clive said with a smile, “No wonder Elisa hit it off and got
along with you before knowing you were cousins. She sees you as a friend. You’re the first to say that she’s a nice girl.

‘The public doesn’t take well to Elisa. Many heiresses think Elisa is arrogant and willful. There were people making fun of her
when she went after Mr. York. She doesn’t have many real friends.”
“I think Elisa is a sensitive girl. She doesn’t care about putting up a façade. You get what you see. She doesn’t have to be
pretentious because she has the means to live life the way she wants. She doesn’t care what anyone else has to say.”
Clive responded, “You don’t know Elisa for long, but you have a good idea of her personality. Serenity, you’re a good judge of
character.”
