NovelEnglishChapter 366 Ridiculous
Is he… going to personally apply ointment on me?
Elisa gazed at Gareth as if she was looking at a madman.
Since she couldn’t break away from him, she gave up on struggling. She looked at him in disbelief and
asked, “What exactly is wrong with you?”
She had had injuries during their marriage too. Gareth had seen the injuries, but all he did was turn and
walk away callously.
This time, her feet merely had bruises due to her high heels, yet Gareth was helping her apply
ointment. Elisa was utterly bewildered. This man is nothing but a weirdo…
Ignoring Elisa’s question, Gareth opened the ointment and carefully applied it on her bruises while Elisa
was bereft of speech as she was astounded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFeeling the cold sensation of the ointment and Gareth’s soft finger, Elisa had goosebumps all over.
It was only after Gareth finished applying ointment on one foot did Elisa regain her composure. She
reached out her hand, intending to take the ointment from Gareth. “I can do it on my own. I’m
overwhelmed by your actions.”
Gareth darted a cold glance at her and did not respond. Instead, he forcefully lifted her other foot and
applied ointment on it while Elisa remained shell-shocked.
Even after Gareth finished applying ointment on both her feet, she still felt as if it was a dream.
I can’t believe this jerk could be this kind. If it’s for the sake of Grandma, he has already done enough
on the surface. We’re in a private room without a surveillance camera. My feet are just slightly swollen
– it’s nothing serious. What exactly is on his mind?
Elisa quickly pulled her legs back. Gareth sat on the couch and had no intention of leaving. Elisa could
tell from his sullen expression that he was in a terrible mood.
She let out a soft cough and put on her shoes. Then, she wore a professional smile and said, “Thank
you, Mr. Wickam. I’m going back to my room first. Have a good night.”
Gareth glared at Elisa hostilely. “Elisa Benett, are you heartless?”
Elisa was shocked as she stared at the man in front of her. “What did you say?”
Gareth stood up with a straight face and strode back into his room without answering Elisa. Elisa was
left staggered. I sacrificed so much for him during those few years, yet he’s asking if I’m heartless?
What a ridiculous man.
Elisa was still nonplussed when she lay down on her bed. She wasn’t moved or emotionally stirred by
Gareth’s actions; she was merely confused.
Given Gareth’s personality, why would he possibly apply ointment for me? What the hell is wrong with
him?
Perhaps it was because of the ointment, Elisa had a deep and sound sleep that night. The next
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmorning, she washed up as usual and was about to head out to work with Gareth. However, she
walked out of her room and found the common space bizarrely quiet, which made her perplexed. Is
Gareth still sleeping or did he head out already?
Moments later, someone knocked on the door. “Ms. Elisa, it’s me.”
Elisa stood up and went to answer the door. Thomas handed her breakfast and said with a smile. “Mr.
Wickam has some matters to attend to this morning, so he asked me to send you breakfast. Please
take some time off this morning. You don’t have to work.”
Elisa squeezed a smile and hummed, “Thanks.”
Thomas looked at Elisa in surprise. Did she believe it?
Nonetheless, he didn’t say anything and left after nodding at Elisa. Little did he know that Elisa didn’t
buy his words at all – she knew he had merely made up a statement.
After having breakfast, Elisa turned on her laptop. Since Gareth didn’t assign any tasks to her, she
decided to handle her own work tasks.
Just then, her phone rang again.
