Julia raised her fist and dashed toward Gareth. Elisa was shocked and immediately stopped her. "No,
Grandma. He didn't make me angry. You should watch your health and not make such intense
movements."
She feared Julia would accidentally hit Gareth's wounds.
"That's much better! Gareth, come over here!" Julia smiled before turning to Gareth with a stern
expression. As Gareth approached her without protest, Julia said, "I was bored, so I renovated the
house again and changed many things. You should take a walk with Liz to familiarize yourself with the
new surrounding!"
Elisa wanted to refuse, but Julia would not give her a chance.
"I'm tired! I'll return to my room to rest. Liz, you can tell me if he bullies you. I'll scold him for you!" Then,
Julia rushed out of the garden and secretly gestured good luck to Gareth as she walked past him.

He could not deny that he secretly wished to spend time alone with Elisa.
"Shall we take a walk?"
"Why did you leave the hospital when your wounds haven't recovered?"
Elisa did not answer him but demanded an answer from him. She was furious because his
recklessness would prolong his recovery. Since she had to stay with him until he recovered, she had to
wait even longer to make a clean break from him.
"I was concerned about Grandma and worried that she would overthink. Don't worry. I'm fine now."
Elisa rolled her eyes. Who says I'm worried about him? I admit I cared about him a little, but my
concern is only limited to wanting him to recover faster so that I can leave sooner.
"Your injuries are severe, and you should get some rest. I will walk around for a while. Don't worry. I will
be careful not to reveal anything to Grandma!"
Then, she turned around and left before Gareth could reply. She wanted to escape because his
presence would only fluster her emotions and cause her to recall the past.
Elisa knew she could not remain by Gareth's side. The reason was simply that he did not love her.
Furthermore, they had divorced.
The pain and heartbreak she had experienced in the past kept reminding her not to forget her lesson.
During the evening, Elisa had no choice but to accept Julia's invitation to have dinner in Wickam
Residence. She listened to the chatter around the table and discovered that Gareth's cousin was about
to get married. Strangely, Julia did not seem happy about it.
According to his cousin's custom, divorced people were prohibited from attending weddings.
"This is troubling!"
Julia glared at Gareth furiously.
Gareth listened to her complaints but remained silent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, that did not reduce Julia's anger toward him.
She stared at Gareth coldly, saying, "Judging from our situation, I can't attend because I'm ill. Someone
from the Wickam family has to attend the wedding. Your parents don't get along with them. You… are
the only one who can attend on our behalf!"
Julia emphasized the final sentence. Her tone brood no argument.
Meanwhile, Gareth's expression darkened and turned tense.
Elisa looked at Julia with astonishment.
Does she mean she wants Gareth to get married again?
Gareth pursed his lips. "Grandma, you're putting me in an impossible situation."
Everyone knows Elisa and I are divorced.
I don't believe she forgot about this. She is causing me trouble by making me attend the wedding on
our family's behalf.
The wedding stipulates that divorcees are not allowed.
I wouldn't have thought much about such a rule, but now, it seems inhumane.
