Elisa tried hard not to laugh.
Rachel was unrelentless. She laughed aloud, “This man is just clowning at this point. Hey, do me a
favor. If he ever starts begging you back, just slap him. Although, I’ll be behind you to capture that
glorious moment on camera.”
“You’re too much,” Elisa said. “This man is hopeless in finding a wife.” Rachel hollered.
But what if he did?
Don’t be ridiculous, Elisa.
A smirk crept on Rachel’s smile, “To tell you the truth, I’ve noticed Gareth has been more attentive to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou. No? Well, it was no better than before. He would just straight up ignore you.” She retouched her
mascara, “Don’t worry, girl. You have all my attention.”
“Well, there was a motive for his changed demeanor.” Elisa curled her lips. It was more believable to
have Mr. Darcey being serious with her than presume Gareth was even remotely interested in her. Yet,
even if he truly wanted to save her, she wasn’t against it. He did all this for his mother’s sake, of
course.
She will never allow herself to be his personal fool again. Elisa had had enough of her feelings being
trampled by that heartless oaf.
“Come on, Elisa. The Wickams and Benetts are finished. There won’t be any truce coming.”
Rachel couldn’t help but remember her time in the hospital.
“You know, when you were unconscious,” she sighed. “Gareth had ordered Jeremy Chase to visit you
on his behalf.”
Elisa stared blankly at the car window.
Beneath all the white lies Rachel had told her, she knew her friend would tell her the truth when it
counted.
Gareth was one of those themes she would never lie about.
Huh.
She was aware of Gareth’s motivation, but his pride forbids him from acting in Rachel’s presence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy is he doing this, then?
Elisa appeared to be evaluating her actions for a short time frame.
“Elisa,” Rachel called out.
She spoke gravely, “Hypothetically, if Gareth were to reconcile with you, would you agree? Be honest
with me.”
Elisa pursed her lips, “Of course not. Why else would I be this determined to end all ties with him?”
Rachel’s eyes sparkled with uncertainty and a tinge of concern.
However, Elisa’s eyes were bright and clear, and she showed absolutely no signs of remorse. Her
friend sighed, “It’s good if you’ll be decisive, Elisa. I’m afraid with your history with him will be clouded
by your emotions again.” She tsked, “Don’t let that bastard play you like that again!”
