After Julia and Thomas left, Elisa's smile faded, and she turned coldly towards Gareth and shot at him, "Gareth, are you out of your mind? Did you not hear what | previously told you about? Are you an idiot?" She blurted those words angrily.
Gareth calmly explained, "Grandma went out of her way to chere, and the conversation had already reached that point. We couldn't possibly let her down, could we?" "I know | made the promise to Grandma without your consent, but | assure you, this will be the last time." Gareth had no interest in attending any wedding.
However, he didn't want to miss any chance with her. Grandma's efforts made him believe this wedding could be a turning point.
Elisa's simmering anger erupted as she unleashed a torrent of scathing words upon Gareth.
