NovelEnglishChapter 1928 Lost In Thought Elisa nodded, finally managing to send off the troublesome Gareth.
As he was leaving, Gareth didn't forget to warn Mrs. Grayson.
“I wonder how Old Mrs. Grayson has been feeling lately. Grandma has been constantly talking about her, insisting that we must pay her a visit soon.” The smile on Mrs. Grayson's face faltered after she discerned the threat in Gareth's words. However, she swiftly regained her composure. “I shall eagerly await your arrival, then.” Gareth didn't say a word and left the police station.
After watching the retreating figure of Gareth, Mrs. Grayson blurted out, “Ms. Benett and Mr. Wickam seem to get along quite well.” It was known to the public that Elisa and Gareth were divorced.
Elisa felt Mrs. Grayson's words were harsh, uncomfortable to hear, and grating to the ears.

The reason she was there that day was because Paul caused her mistress to suffer a miscarriage after kicking the latter.
Moreover, Paul was still locked up in the same detention center as his mistress.
To say that they were close was a blatant lie.
Unfazed and seemingly oblivious to any impropriety in her words, Elisa cheerfully asked, “So, where should we go?” Mrs. Grayson provided an address.
Mrs. Grayson provided an address.
Thirty minutes later, the two of them sat in a nearby coffee shop.
The music playing in the background was pleasant.
The waiter came over to take their orders. Elisa ordered a latte, while Mrs. Grayson, after a moment of hesitation, chose a cup of caffé mocha.
Once the drinks were served, Mrs. Grayson picked up her caffé mocha and took a sip, seemingly lost in thought.
Elisa fathomed her tricks but chose not to interrupt. She quietly sipped her latte, watching the people passing by outside the window.
Just like that, she quietly watched Mrs. Grayson as the latter put up an act.

Grayson? You seemed so engrossed in your thoughts.” Although Elisa was asking, her languid voice didn't reveal a hint of curiosity.
In other words, she was disinterested.
Clearly, Mrs. Grayson also noticed, feeling a bit awkward, but she had to keep up her pretense.
Mrs. Grayson said with a hint of embarrassment, “It's been quite a while since | last visited a coffee shop. The last time | was here, | was with Paul. I'm not sure if it's because the shop has changed, but the caffé mocha tastes more bitter than | remember.” Elisa fathomed Mrs. Grayson was planning to play the sympathy card.
With a slight smile, Elisa remained silent, picking up her cup for another sip and watching Mrs. Grayson's performance with a calm gaze.
Mrs. Grayson, a woman of worldly experience, showed no signs of annoyance or embarrassment. She continued speaking. “You know, it's been a while since Paul and | have sat down and had a conversation like this. Ms. Benett, you've been married too. No matter how many mistakes our husband makes, he's still our husband.” Her voice choked with emotion as she spoke, and tears welled in her eyes. She glanced at Elisa, her eyes filled with intense sorrow. “Don’t you agree, Ms. Benett?” Mrs. Grayson's intention was clear. She was going to see Paul's matter through to the end.
Elisa remained silent, simply adding a cube of sugar to Mrs. Grayson's cup.
After doing that, Elisa looked at her with a beaming smile.
“Mrs. Grayson, caffé mocha is naturally bitter. All you need to do is add some sugar to it.” mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
