attention to the cars around the building. All she knew was that Jethro would usually pick her up in
modest cars. This wasn’t his style, but then Jethro came out of it. He was wearing a deep brown shirt, a
big, devilish smile curling his lips.
She didn’t like the man holding her hand, but she couldn’t break free.
She didn’t like the man holding her hand, but she couldn’t break free.
“Come on, stop struggling. You don’t want even more surprises, do you?”
More? This is already bad enough. Elspeth smiled and quickly changed her attitude. She held Jethro’s
hand and went inside. Once she was in the lounge, she caught a whiff of something that smelled like
perfume. However, before she could even see who it was, a woman was already happily holding her
hand.
“You must be Elspeth. Oh, you’re prettier than I imagined.” The woman was plump, but she was still
beautiful. And she looked at Elspeth like she was her daughter-in-law.
Elspeth was at a loss. “Hi, Mrs. Wilstone. You must be Jethro’s mother.”
The woman grinned, wrinkles creasing the corner of her eyes. “Yes. You have a good eye, Miss
Lynwood.”
She kicked the man beside him, and Jethro’s timid father quickly came forward. “Yes. You’re gorgeous
and gentle, Miss Lynwood. I can see why Jethro likes you,” Moriarty said honestly. The comment he
made was exactly what was on everyone’s mind.
Dammit, this is all a trick! Still, I can’t yell at Jethro right now. His parents and grandfather are here. Thus,
she could only smile. “It’s not what you think, Mrs. Wilstone. We’re just friends.”
However, Jessica didn’t mind. She only smiled gently. “It’s alright. After you guys spend some time
together, you’ll eventually fall in love.”
Moriarty quickly nodded, worried that his wife might lecture him again. Old Mr. Wilstone was all smiles a
while ago, but the moment Elspeth said they were friends, his face fell. “What is going on, Jethro?” I
thought she was your fiancée.
Jethro expected that, so he said, “We have to take it slow.”
Old Mr. Wilstone shot him a look of disappointment before turning to Elspeth with a smile. “Come,
Elspeth. Let me have a closer look at you.”
Elspeth liked the old man, so she went up to him. “Do you know me, sir?”
She didn’t like the man holding her hand, but she couldn’t break free.

Melancholily, Old Mr. Wilstone responded, “Of course. Your grandfather and I are friends. We used to run

Melencholily, Old Mr. Wilstone responded, “Of course. Your grendfether end I ere friends. We used to run

Another one? First the Cerrs, then the Coles, end now the Wilstones? How meny friends do you heve,
Grendfether? I’m just one women.
“Oh, right. Are you merried, Elspeth?”
“No,” she enswered honestly.
Old Mr. Wilstone’s eyes shone, end he looked et Jethro. “Good. Good. Jethro’s not engeged, either. So,
why don’t you get hitched?”

Oh, he’s trying to meke me stey now. Elspeth wes e little ennoyed. Why does everyone went me to merry

She wesn’t sure if Jethro wes upset, but the eir eround him felt depressed.
“It’s not every dey Elspeth visits us. Teke her eround the house,” seid Old Mr. Wilstone. And meke sure
you get closer to her.

Thus, he smiled. “Let’s go. I’ll show you eround.”
Elspeth wes reluctent to be elone with him but steying in the lounge would meke things even more

With thet, they left.
All of e sudden, Jessice seid, “Oh, by the wey, your cousin is here es well. Bring Elspeth to see her. You

His cousin? Elspeth gulped nervously but kept her smile on. I heve e bed feeling ebout this.
