NovelEnglishChapter 20 We Are Divorced
“Of course not.” Will chortled. He tapped on the brake and slid into the right lane. Will glanced at
Gareth’s car and turned right.
Elisa had no intention of chatting. Will carried the conversation all the way to her house. She finally
turned to him when they arrived, “Thank you, Mr. Darcey for sending me home.”
Will smiled warmly at her. “Don’t mention it. It’s late, you should head on in. Give me a ring if you ever
need anything.”
Elisa nodded and got out of the car.
Will narrowed his eyes as he watched her leave. The woman was an enigma. Would Gareth regret
losing such a rare person?

Now that he had her in his grasp, he was never letting go.
Elisa’s phone rang as she stepped out of the elevator. She opened her door with one and hand
fumbled for her phone with the other. She was surprised to see that it was her grandmother calling.
She entered her apartment and said, “Grandma?”
“Hi, Elisa. What have you been up to lately? Do you miss grandma?”
Elisa laughed as she removed her shoes. “Of course, I have. I think about you all the time.”
Julia chuckled, “You’re such a sweet talker, love.”
Sitting down on the couch, Elisa smiled, “Did you need me for something, Grandma?”
“What are you saying? I just complimented you for being a sweet talker! Can’t I call you just because I
miss you?”
Julia could be quite temperamental sometimes. But sometimes, she was just pretending to be upset.
Elisa laughed. “Of course, you can.”
“Hmph! That sounds more like it. However…”
She coughed. Something had been bothering her the past couple of days. She couldn’t help but ask,
“Elisa, how have you and my dumb grandson been? Is he coming home on time? He hasn’t done
anything to upset you, has he?”
Julia emphasized the word ‘anything’. Elisa would know what she was talking about if Gareth had
talked to her about the divorce, however if she didn’t, then her grandson must have been obedient for
once and kept quiet about it.
But…
Elisa sensed that something was off. She did not answer her.

Elisa laughed, “You know all about it, huh?”
“What?”
What did she know?!
That stupid grandson of hers! She was going to kill him if he made her lose such a wonderful
granddaughter-in-law!!!
Elisa pursed her lips. Julia might not be willing to accept it but now that it had come to this, there was
no need to hide things any further. She sighed, “Grandma, the both of us… We’ve divorced.”
“What?!”
Julia’s expression changed. She shot to her feet.
Darren had been watching his wife. He knew immediately what had happened from Julia’s reaction. He
smirked in satisfaction. Gareth did good to obey him.
Elisa had outlived her usefulness. The Wickam family no longer needed her. Besides, she had never
been a good wife to Gareth! She did not deserve his grandson!
Julia hurriedly asked, “Elisa, dear. Is this a prank? Today isn’t April Fool’s, is it?”
