NovelEnglishChapter 1915 Habit Seeing the motorcycle about to pass through the puddle yet showing no indication of slowing down, Gareth grimaced and pulled Elisa to his side.
Then, he turned around and shielded her from the splashing water with his back.
Elisa only felt a wave of dizziness, and by the tshe regained her senses, she found herself securely held in the arms of Gareth.
His embrace was warm, powerful, and carried Gareth's unique scent.
Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion.
Splash! Upon hearing the sound of water droplets splashing onto Gareth's body, Elisa finally pulled away from his embrace.
Gareth felt a sudden lightness in his arm, staring blankly at his now empty hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer warmth still lingered on his arms.
Immediately afterward, he looked at Elisa.
Before she could speak, Gareth anxiously asked first, “Are you okay? Did you get splashed?” Elisa blinked her eyes and shook her head. “I'm fine. How about you?” Gareth shook his head, but Elisa didn't believe him. The sound of the water splashing just now was quite loud, so how could he be fine? Without allowing any objections, Elisa spun him around.
The black trench coat didn't show much difference when it was wet, but if one observed closely, one could still notice that the color of the outerwear beca bit darker when damp.
Elisa disagreed, wiping the water off him with a tissue.
However, she didn't carry enough tissue with her.
Even after the tissues she brought along were all soaked through, Gareth's back remained damp.
Gareth turned his head, glanced at Elisa behind him, and said casually, “It's okay. Il dry as soon as the sun shines on it.” Without uttering a word, Elisa crumpled the tissues and tossed them into the nearest trash bin, then made a phone call.
Upon hearing her instruct the driver to bring the car over, Gareth quickly said, “It's a minor issue. No need to worry. Don't you still want to continue our walk?” Upon hearing that, Elisa felt both amused and annoyed.
She shot Gareth an annoyed glance. Seeing his innocent expression, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Gareth was initially confused, not understanding why Elisa suddenly started to laugh.
However, her smile was contagious.
The two CEOs, each possessing hundreds of millions in wealth, disregarded their image and began to laugh heartily by the roadside.
Elisa laughed at the usually clever Gareth's somewhat clumsy behavior.
Gareth was simply laughing because he was affected by Elisa's cheerful mood.
However, that seemed to be a pretty good way to vent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaving laughed herself tired, Elisa straightened up and wiped the tears of mirth from the corners of her eyes. Her driver was arriving soon as well.
Elisa urged Gareth to get in the car.
The driver received Elisa's instruction and drove toward Wickam Manor.
Gareth knew that they were going to visit Julia, so he didn't mention going for a walk anymore.
Actually, he had thought that they could share stalone together that day.
Therefore, he was feeling a little disappointed at that moment.
However, Elisa didn't notice. She simply turned on the heater and told Gareth to take off his coat.
Gareth obediently did as he was told.
A faint smile played on Elisa's lips. If the people at his company see this, they will probably be flabbergasted.
However, Elisa suddenly realized. When did | get used to Gareth dropping his guard and showing his gentle side in front of me? Elisa shivered, a chill running down her spine. Habits are indeed a terrifying thing. They don't cat you with the ferocity of a flood or a wild beast but rather like a gentle stream, subtly and imperceptibly altering one's perceptions.
With those thoughts in mind, Elisa awkwardly created distance between them.
That left Gareth somewhat puzzled.
