Julia gave Gareth a look, signaling him to go after Elisa. She was satisfied when Gareth did as he was told.
On the other hand, Elisa was surprised to see Gareth. She went out to avoid him but didn't expect him to tag along.
"Why are you here?" Elisa asked abruptly.
Gareth shrugged in resignation. "I didn't want to, but Grandma was worried about your safety. Moreover, you're
getting medicines for her, so I am responsible for keeping you safe. Hope you won't overthink."
Elisa had no reason to reject Gareth, so she made no further comments.
During the journey, there was pin-drop silence in the car as none of them spoke. When they arrived at their
destination, Elisa got out of the car to be blinded by flashing lights.
A group of paparazzi came out of nowhere and bombarded Elisa with questions.

"Ms. Benett, I'm from New Era Media. Can you reveal when did you guys get back together?"
"Ms. Benett, we've met before. Do you remember? What kind of medicines are you and Mr. Wickam looking for this
time? Are you preparing for pregnancy?"
The reporters blurted their speculations and absurd assumptions. Everyone was going all out, hoping to obtain
exclusive news.
Nonetheless, all the reporters had one thing in common. They were smart enough not to bother Gareth. After all,
they could easily lose their jobs if they provoked Gareth, and it was useless to get some sensational news at the
cost of offending him.
Elisa didn't expect to be bombarded with so many questions at the Medicine Market, so she was unprepared. She
was surrounded as soon as she arrived, and the flashing lights hurt her eyes. She felt suffocating, being compassed
by the reporters.
"That's enough!" Gareth couldn't take it anymore and scowled at one of the reporters who was getting too close.
"Is this an interview or interrogation? Do you intend to shove the recorder into her mouth?!"
Gareth looked intimidating with his stern face. Immediately, the crowd quieted down, and no one dared to retort.
The reporter reprimanded by Gareth was a bundle of nerves because he would be finished if Gareth asked which
company he was from.
Fortunately, Gareth didn't bother to pay attention to him. He wrapped his arm around Elisa's shoulder and walked
into the market without sparing a glance at the crowd. The reporters instinctively made way for the two and
watched Gareth escort Elisa away.

Despite being fearful, the reporters captured pictures of their intimate gestures. This was a headline-worthy
moment! Although Elisa and Gareth didn't comment on their status, their actions were the best answer. To the
reporters, it was apparent that they had gotten back together!
"Excuse me! You're blocking my recording!"
"The person in front is blocking me! Can't you go to the other side?"
"Get lost, and don't obstruct my sight!"
Meanwhile, Julia couldn't contain her laughter in a black Bentley not far away. If the window wasn't closed, many
would witness her silly smile.
Mr. Jones looked at Julia and smiled, "Madam, you should be relieved now."
"Of course! I'm thrilled to see them in this state. You have no idea about this. I went to their room a few mornings
ago and saw them…"
