Elisa pursed her lips quietly.
This was the situation. Since neither of them was willing to give in, they could only remain at a
stalemate.
Soon, their food was served. Rachel smelled her delicious beef noodles and exclaimed happily with a
big smile, “This smells so good! Let’s dig in!”
Elisa smiled and nodded, “Okay.”
Both of them stopped talking about Vincent. But when they finished eating, Rachel could not help but
glance at Elisa and asked, “Elisa… What was with Gareth just now? He…”
Rachel’s question stopped halfway. The situation was too complicated for her to piece a coherent
question.
Elisa frowned slightly and answered, “He wants to get back together.”

She exclaimed loudly, “What? Is that true? He wants to be with you?”
In the next instance, she returned to her senses and quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she could
not contain herself and blurt something out.
Because of her loud exclamation, many people turned to stare at them.
Elisa got nervous suddenly. But when she saw Rachel at a loss for words, she sighed helplessly,
“You…”
Rachel smiled awkwardly. She grabbed Elisa’s arm and pulled her. “Let’s go. We should talk outside.”
Soon, both of them were in the car. Just as Elisa was about to start the engine, Rachel grabbed her
hand and said, “Elisa, he must have an ulterior motive for wanting to get back with you. You…”
“I know.” Elisa knew she was right.
There was still a look of disbelief in Rachel’s eyes.
“I still cannot believe this, although he has an ulterior motive. Gareth is a cold and arrogant person who
hates when others challenge him. Now, he is asking you to get back together?”
This was not like him at all.
Although Rachel did not understand Gareth well, she had been friends with Elisa for a long time. She
still knew a little about him.
Elisa smiled forcefully. She didn’t really care.
She started the engine and drove home.
Rachel stayed with her here today because they had just finished moving houses. Rachel had planned
to sleep over at her place.
Soon, Elisa arrived at her father’s old villa.
She had cleaned her uncle and aunty’s room but kept her father’s room as it was.
Elisa could not help but feel sad when she entered the villa.

Elisa raised her eyes and smiled at Rachel. “I know. I’m just not used to coming back here yet.”
Rachel nodded. She spoke in a helpless tone. “Are they the real reason you moved out? But… It would
be as easy as ABC for them to find you if they wanted to.”
“I know. But we would disturb the neighbors if we stayed there. It’s better here.” Elisa was afraid that
Gareth would come and make a scene. He had never considered other people’s feelings. Or perhaps,
he knew that she would, so he acted recklessly.
“Great… But it’s hard on you. You have to deal with Gareth, Will and Carle. Your life is so miserable.”
Elisa kept silent.
Rachel coughed awkwardly. “I know I’m always talking about things that make you uncomfortable. But
you have to find a solution to this eventually.”
