NovelEnglishChapter 15 Leisure and Carefree
Linda frowned and looked at Elisa with concern. “Elisa, you should explain things. You mustn’t always
behave in such a secretive manner!”
Did she say I always behave in a secretive manner?
She is playing another game with words. Isn’t she implying to Gareth that I always meet with other men
in secret and am a disloyal wife to Gareth?
Sensing Gareth’s cold gaze, Elisa pressed the relevant floor button in the elevator and smiled. “Since
you’re not getting in, Will and I shall go up first.”
Then, she pressed a button to shut the elevator door.
Will’s smile did not reach his eyes. He kept looking at Elisa until the elevator door closed and noticed
she remained unaffected. He could not hide the astonishment in his eyes as he said, “Does this mean
you and Gareth were only acting as a loving couple all these years?”
Elisa slanted her head slightly. “Mr. Darcey, you are an astute man. Is there a need to ask?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWill smiled and noticed there was nothing on her fair and slender fingers. He made a ‘tsk’ noise and
said, “Your fingers are flawless, but they lack something. Why don’t I send something to you?”
Elisa looked at him puzzledly. “What is it?”
Will smiled and said, “It won’t be a surprise if I tell you.”
Elisa glanced at him. The elevator soon stopped at their floor. Thus, they got out and went to their
private lounge.
They chatted a little as the waiter served the food.
Will spoke in a gentlemanly manner. Although Elisa had heard many rumors about him being a
womanizer, she found it hard to believe that it was true.
After serving the food, the waiter closed the door, turning the private lounge into their personal space.
Elisa grabbed the cutleries. Although they were here to discuss business, she was eager to eat.
“Mr. Darcey, thank you for your hospitality once again.”
Will smiled and remembered how none of his other business partners would dare to eat before he did.
In fact, they were too nervous to have an appetite before him. However, Elisa was different. She was
eager to eat first, so their business discussion would have to wait until after dinner.
Will took up his cutleries. “Are you really not going to drink tonight?”
“Drinking will affect work.”
On her first night with Gareth, someone had drugged the wine Elisa accepted.
If I had not made that mistake, my life might be complete instead of being in shambles like now.
As Elisa was beginning to feel full, she looked at Will eating slowly and asked, “Mr. Darcey, since you
ask me out tonight, what is it that you wish to remind me?”
More accurately, she wished to know whether his goal would help her achieve hers.
Will smiled. “Would you believe me if I said I only wished to have dinner with you?”
Elisa frowned. “Are you that free and happy-go-lucky?”
…
Meanwhile, Gareth and Linda were also seated in a private lounge. The waiter had finished serving the
food they had ordered.
However, the mood in the private lounge was tense and cold. It was so chilling that Linda felt on the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmverge of being frozen.
On the other hand, Gareth sat still with a sullen expression. He did not even bother to hold his cutleries.
Linda’s eyes flashed with suspicion.
Did Elisa do this deliberately? Did she know that Gareth and I were coming here for dinner and brought
Will here to anger Gareth?
I spent so much effort persuading Gareth to bring me out for dinner. Yet, it was all for nothing.
I never knew Elisa was capable of such a devious plan.
Linda adjusted her emotions and could not help but sigh. “Garry, don’t be angry with Elisa. There are
still many things that are left unexplained as you are in a cold war with each other.”
Gareth’s expression turned stern. “Why would I be in a cold war with her?”
Linda’s eyes flashed slightly. She said in a helpless tone, “Hmm, although you don’t wish to, Elisa
might. If this goes on, you could really divorce even if you don’t wish to. Did you see how happy Elisa
and Will were just now? Everyone says Will is a womanizer and skilled at charming women. Garry, you
should feel a sense of threat.”
Gareth narrowed his eyes and felt too agitated to remain seated. He stood up and turned around. “I’m
going to the washroom.”
However, when he reached the washroom he saw Elisa coming out of it. His eyes instantly turned
fierce.
