Chapter 1919 Matters Of The Heart
Meanwhile, Elisa was still unaware that her supposed companion had “betrayed” her. She was about to help Julia
back to the room.
As they were passing by the garden, Julia suddenly suggested for them to take a stroll.
Elisa found it hard to refuse.
Hence, the two of them arrived in the garden.
The flowers and plants were meticulously tended to and pruned by a gardener daily, so their aesthetic appeal went
without saying.
There were also quite a few species of valuable flowers and plants grown there.
Of course, there were also medicinal plants for display that Elisa had planted, which had already sprouted.
There was a special section in the garden dedicated to growing medicinal herbs, specifically to improve Julia's
health.
Walking down this path, one was enveloped by the scent of flowers, the earthy aroma of soil and grass, and a faint,

More importantly, it invigorated and refreshed the mind.
Julia felt herself becoming increasingly clear-headed as she walked by, so much so that she decided to pull Elisa
aside to share a few heartfelt words.
“I know you and Gareth must have had a hard time out there. But you two have always been the kind who share
good news and keep the bad to yourselves. Since it's all in the past now, I won't pry into that.” Julia's tone was
indifferent, revealing no particular emotion.
Upon hearing that, Elisa neither expressed surprise nor offered any rebuttal.
Lying to Julia was impossible, but there existed a tacit agreement between them.
Knowing something was one thing, but saying it out loud was another.
So, she didn't say anything.
Julia continued, “I just want to ask some questions on behalf of that rascal. Or rather, I want you to see clearly
what's in your heart.”
Elisa understood what Julia wanted to say. In fact, she was also very confused. She was uncertain about what she
wanted and how she truly felt.
Perhaps, it might be better to voice it out.
Seeing that Elisa was not resisting the topic, Julia gently asked, “Liz, after all that you've been through together, do
you still dislike that rascal?”
Julia carefully observed Elisa's expression.
However, there was no noticeable change in her facial expression, and even her emotions remained steady.
That was because she knew the answer to the question very well, so her response was quite straightforward.
“I don't dislike him.”
Julia laughed.
If it were in the past, Elisa would certainly detest Gareth.
However, this time Elisa's answer changed without a hint of hesitation. It was enough to reveal how Gareth's image
had transformed in Elisa's heart.
Julia asked, “Have you ever thought about starting over with him?”
Elisa's response to this question was not as straightforward as before.

“No.”
Even though I've thought about it for a long time, I indeed never considered getting back together.
At most, we've simply changed from being strangers to becoming friends. Nothing more.
Elisa looked at Julia, expecting her to be disappointed or angry.
But that didn't happen.
Julia just smiled.
Elisa was a bit confused.
Julia spoke slowly, saying, “You no longer despise that brat, yet you haven't considered starting over. You think it's
estrangement, but it's actually proof of how close you two really are.”
Elisa frowned, not understanding why Julia would say such a thing.
Julia burst into laughter. “So, the decisive and formidable Ms. Benett, who is so ruthless in the business world, can
also be clueless when it comes to love?”
Elisa's face turned a slight shade of red, revealing a hint of girlish shyness.
With a gentle and loving expression, Julia slowly said, “If a stranger were to pursue you, at the very least, you
wouldn't resist.”
