Julia raised her fist and dashed toward Gareth. Elisa was shocked and immediately stopped her. "No, Grandma. He
didn't make me angry. You should watch your health and not make such intense movements."
She feared Julia would accidentally hit Gareth's wounds.
"That's much better! Gareth, come over here!" Julia smiled before turning to Gareth with a stern expression. As
Gareth approached her without protest, Julia said, "I was bored, so I renovated the house again and changed many
things. You should take a walk with Liz to familiarize yourself with the new surrounding!"
Elisa wanted to refuse, but Julia would not give her a chance.
"I'm tired! I'll return to my room to rest. Liz, you can tell me if he bullies you. I'll scold him for you!" Then, Julia
rushed out of the garden and secretly gestured good luck to Gareth as she walked past him.
Gareth was rendered speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe could not deny that he secretly wished to spend time alone with Elisa.
"Shall we take a walk?"
"Why did you leave the hospital when your wounds haven't recovered?"
Elisa did not answer him but demanded an answer from him. She was furious because his recklessness would
prolong his recovery. Since she had to stay with him until he recovered, she had to wait even longer to make a
clean break from him.
"I was concerned about Grandma and worried that she would overthink. Don't worry. I'm fine now."
Elisa rolled her eyes. Who says I'm worried about him? I admit I cared about him a little, but my concern is only
limited to wanting him to recover faster so that I can leave sooner.
"Your injuries are severe, and you should get some rest. I will walk around for a while. Don't worry. I will be careful
not to reveal anything to Grandma!"
Then, she turned around and left before Gareth could reply. She wanted to escape because his presence would only
fluster her emotions and cause her to recall the past.
Elisa knew she could not remain by Gareth's side. The reason was simply that he did not love her. Furthermore,
they had divorced.
The pain and heartbreak she had experienced in the past kept reminding her not to forget her lesson.
During the evening, Elisa had no choice but to accept Julia's invitation to have dinner in Wickam Residence. She
listened to the chatter around the table and discovered that Gareth's cousin was about to get married. Strangely,
Julia did not seem happy about it.
According to his cousin's custom, divorced people were prohibited from attending weddings.
"This is troubling!"
Julia glared at Gareth furiously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGareth listened to her complaints but remained silent.
However, that did not reduce Julia's anger toward him.
She stared at Gareth coldly, saying, "Judging from our situation, I can't attend because I'm ill. Someone from the
Wickam family has to attend the wedding. Your parents don't get along with them. You… are the only one who can
attend on our behalf!"
Julia emphasized the final sentence. Her tone brood no argument.
Meanwhile, Gareth's expression darkened and turned tense.
Elisa looked at Julia with astonishment.
Does she mean she wants Gareth to get married again?
Gareth pursed his lips. "Grandma, you're putting me in an impossible situation."
Everyone knows Elisa and I are divorced.
I don't believe she forgot about this. She is causing me trouble by making me attend the wedding on our family's
behalf.
The wedding stipulates that divorcees are not allowed.
I wouldn't have thought much about such a rule, but now, it seems inhumane.
