NovelEnglishChapter 364 Elisa, I Don’t Think That’s Appropriate
After the call ended, Elisa could finally eat peacefully as silence was restored in the room. In fact, she
thought the food tasted pretty good.
On the other hand, Gareth had lost his appetite as he was annoyed, but he couldn’t figure out why he
was experiencing such emotions.
Suddenly, he put down his cutleries. The atmosphere in the room became more intense as his face
darkened, but Elisa wasn’t affected at all. After all, she was used to his aura.
Gareth stared at her frostily and had the urge to reprimand her, but he couldn’t bring himself to lecture
her when he saw her calm look.
Elisa squeezed a smile and mumbled in resignation, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to sow discord between the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtboth of you. I just couldn’t control myself just now…”
She was indeed amused by Linda’s performance. In the past, Linda had portrayed an elegant and
noble persona, but now, Elisa thought Linda was becoming more hypocritical and was going astray
from her original innocent facade.
Elisa was dying to see Linda’s pretense break down. She wondered what Gareth’s response would be
when he saw her true color. Would he think that he was blind?
Gareth snorted and said nothing. Nonetheless, Elisa could tell from the sarcasm in his eyes that he
didn’t believe what she said. So, she arched her brows and said, “Since you don’t believe it, I will not
explain further.”
Gareth’s eyes darkened. Elisa finished her food in no time and said to Gareth with a wide grin, “Enjoy
your meal, Mr. Wickam. I’m going to wash up first.”
Gareth was tongue-tied. He had lost interest in the food because he was being driven mad by the
woman sitting across from him. He had never realized that Elisa had the ability to drive him up the wall.
Just as Elisa was about to leave the dining table, her phone screen lit up. She was surprised to see the
incoming caller ID, but she picked up the call after hesitating for a while.
“Hi, Mr. Darcey.” While saying that, she stood up and walked to her bedroom.
At once, the atmosphere in the dining room froze! Even after closing the door, Elisa could sense the
frigidity that gushed into her room.
“How are you?” Will’s calm voice was slightly tinged with concern.
Elisa’s eyes glistened as she answered normally, “I’m fine. Thanks for your concern.”
Will sighed in exasperation. “Why do you still sound like I’m a stranger to you?”
Elisa smiled and switched the topic naturally. “Is there something you would like to talk to me about?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah.”
“What is it?” Elisa thought Will had a favor to ask her.
However, she was caught off guard by what Will said thereafter.
“I miss you.”
Elisa was at a loss for words. The corner of her lips twitched as she answered in a sarcastic manner,
“Mr. Darcey, your sweet words caught me off guard.”
“When can I win your heart?”
At that moment, Gareth was standing right outside the room which was poorly soundproofed!
So, he could hear Elisa’s voice. Even though he couldn’t hear what Will said, he could roughly guess
the content. Instantly, he had an impulse to tear the room down!
“Stop being so cheesy.” Elisa became speechless. “So, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?”
“Can’t I call you just to check in on you? I remember you asked me to consider partaking in a project.
Why are you pushing me away now?” Will sighed and continued, “Elisa, I don’t think that’s appropriate.”
Before Elisa could say something, the room door was flung open with a loud bang.
