Chapter 1251 She Could Not Stand Such a Life
"I've never seen anyone as id*otic as you in this world." Gareth's cold eyes were mocking her. As he was about to
leave, he stopped and said, "Don't think you can do whatever you like because Grandma protects you. This is my
last warning to you, Elisa. Watch your step."
He left without giving her a glance.
Elisa felt her energy suck out of her as the door shut close. She sat on the bed and only did not collapse because
her hand was propping her up.
…
The memory ended at that point.
Now, Elisa was also sitting on the bed. The only difference was her posture. She did not need to prop herself up like
she had done the other day. A look of ridicule filled her eyes. Her only memory in the place was endless distress

Perhaps she had been unattached for so long that she had forgotten the misery she once felt.
Or it could be that she gradually sealed away her memories because Gareth was treating her differently from
before.
But… Now that she was back in the place, she felt that the memories were awakened. The pain and anguish came
back to her. It was as though all that she had experienced had just happened yesterday.
A knock was heard on the bedroom door.
She lifted her eyes subconsciously toward the direction, unmoving.
Because she knew that Gareth must be the one who had knocked.
She vaguely remembered dozing off in the car last night but could not remember what happened afterward. He
must be the one who had brought her here.
But why did he not wake her up on the way?
Elisa furrowed her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Come in."
The door opened.
Gareth had a calm expression on his face. It was completely different from her memory of his frosty expression.
"Did you sleep well?"
She looked at him icily. It was also completely different from her usual calmness.
Gareth's gaze faltered. It was evident that he had noticed she was not in a good mood.
Elisa spoke after a pause. "Why did you bring me to this place?"
"You were asleep last night," he replied plainly.
"There was no reason why you couldn't wake me up."
"You looked exhausted. I don't have the passcode to your house, so I brought you here."
Gareth thought she would not find it intolerable since she was familiar with the place.
He would never have guessed what she had remembered.

Yet…
Her mind was filled with memories the moment she stepped into the room.
At the time, she was washing up in the bathroom. Gareth, just like before, barged in and questioned her. It had
something to do with Linda again.
She shut her eyes.
She thought she had let go of the past. But the memories were burrowing in her mind relentlessly. She did not give
the past much thought after the divorce. Yet being back in the place reminded her of it repeatedly.
The wave after wave of emotions was harrowing.
She tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She washed up and only went out after calming herself
down.
She frowned when she saw that he was still in the room. But it was his house, and he did not seem to have anything
to say. She strode out of the room.
She refused to stay there for another second. She could not stand such a life!
Gareth watched as she walked out without a word. His eyes dimmed, but he followed her.
When they went downstairs, it seemed that Elisa was leaving the house. He frowned. "Where are you going?"
