Elisa couldn't ignore the sense of suffocation and bitterness in her heart upon seeing Gareth in this
state. Part of her wished he would remain cold and distant, just as he had been before.
However, amidst these conflicting feelings, certain matters needed to be addressed.
She chuckled, "Oh, a chance to make things right? And how exactly do you propose to do that? With
your wealth? Influence? Or perhaps some other grand gesture? You can't just assume I'll fall for the
idea that you'll do whatever it takes to make me happy. Can you?"
Elisa didn't mince her words; her penetrating gaze left no room for evasion.
Gareth didn't respond but pursed his lips into a line. His expression turned cold, and his eyes, devoid of
the previous sadness, now held a trace of tenderness.
Seeing Gareth in this state, Elisa couldn't help but laugh. She knew deep down that Gareth harbored
no genuine feelings for her. Everything was merely a consequence of their recent interactions and his
grandparents' desire for them to reconcile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she was about to say something, Gareth preempted, "Within my abilities, I would do whatever it
takes to fulfill your desires."
It was a promise. However, this promise failed to evoke even the slightest reaction from Elisa.
Elisa shook her head, a wry smile forming on her lips. "But, I don't lack anything now. Whatever you
can do to please me doesn't interest me in the least. Is there nothing else worth discussing?"
With those words, Elisa swiftly changed the subject, determined not to dwell on this pointless matter
that would never lead to understanding.
Gareth knew her temperament all too well. Continuing the conversation would only fuel her discontent.
However...
He couldn't let it end like this without saying something. He chose a different approach. "Since we're
already here and have this place reserved, even if you won't give me a chance to make things right,
let's not waste the beauty of this scenery."
As he spoke, Gareth took a couple of steps forward, maintaining a respectful distance from Elisa. It
was a gesture of consideration towards her.
At first, Elisa felt a whirlwind of emotions. Still, as she listened to Gareth's persuasive words, she
couldn't help but restrain herself from launching a barrage of mocking and sneering.
Elisa playfully teased, "You know, it's cringe-worthy when someone of your status and wealth says
things like 'let's not waste it'."
Gareth was well aware of her resentment and mockery. However, he genuinely believed enjoying this
beautiful place with Elisa was a rare opportunity.
Just like Thomas and his grandparents' reminders before he brought Elisa here. They had emphasized
the need to be unwavering, to give his all, and to cast aside pride and dignity, embracing
shamelessness.
Although Gareth couldn't fully embrace the shamelessness, he was determined and willing to go all out
for her.
With that in mind, he responded to her words, "You do realize I'm filthy rich, right?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa was taken aback by his comeback.
While a considerable amount of money had been spent on the trip to Moranta and the bidding for
Ganoderma Caligo, as the esteemed president of the Wickam Group, Gareth wasn't on the verge of
bankruptcy, desperately needing to save money.
Although Elisa had yearned for a place like this in the past, her present mindset had shifted.
She didn't want Gareth to misunderstand her out of a slight sense of compassion. She shook her head
and said, "I'm tired now and want to return and rest. You can call your subordinates or even Thomas if
you feel it's a waste. God knows Thomas has been working hard. I'm sure he could use some
recreation and leisure time to relax here."
As she spoke, Elisa even kindly offered Gareth some suggestions and advice on how to use this
opportunity.
Gareth's expression remained cold, and they didn't say a word.
Without waiting for his response, Elisa turned and walked away the next second.
