Julia could not help but glance outside to see the two of them. She continued, “Wait a minute! I know
Elisa has been very disappointed in Gareth, but I also know a part of her still can’t completely let go of
Gareth. Elisa has never lost her temper in front of me. But today… she left without even speaking to
me. I’ve never seen her looking as grave as she did earlier. Something is extremely wrong. What is
with the heels? What did you mean just now by gifting women footwear?”
Vincent’s face turned slightly pale.
Holy! Are the rumors accurate? Is Elisa giving up on Gareth?
Was she just trying to act cool all this time in front of Gareth? Was she disappointed now after realizing
what Gareth wanted when he gave her those pair of heels?
But… this didn’t make sense.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulia got more anxious when she saw the weird expression on Vincent’s face. “Child, tell me, what
does it mean to gift a woman a pair of footwear!”
She had never heard this rumor before.
Vincent did not dare to think further on. He quickly replied, “Oh, it’s nothing. It’s not even real. It’s just a
rumor that couples cannot gift each other footwear, or the one who gets the gift will break off the
relationship. Could Elisa have mistaken that…Gareth was hinting at her to break up?”
Julia’s face turned ugly. She scolded, “This rascal! Why couldn’t you have given her something other
than heels!”
Nevertheless, Julia was just saying it out of anger.
She paused right after she yelled. “This still isn’t right…… Elisa was never someone superstitious.
Moreover, it is just a rumor. She would not have acted out just from a mere superstition.”
Vincent’s eyes dimmed. Indeed, Elisa’s face was pale just now. It seemed like she was offended. He
was too busy teasing Gareth that he didn’t notice Elisa’s grim expression.
It was already too late when he noticed…
He was helpless.
Although he had the urge to chase after Elisa and Gareth, he could not leave Julia alone. She would
feel helpless about the situation. He quickly said, “Grandma, Gareth has gone out. Although he is cold
and sometimes tacky, he would not let anything happen to Elisa.”
Julia sighed helplessly. “I don’t know when their relationship will get better.”
Vincent clicked his tongue and said, “Well, the two of them refuse to give up, yet do not want to admit
that they have feelings for each other. Perhaps they’d only learn to appreciate one another this way.”
Julia frowned and looked at Vincent. “Did you just say that neither of them is willing to confess their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfeelings toward the other?”
But didn’t Gareth…..?
Vincent interrupted Julia’s thoughts. “Of course. Gareth is such a proud man. He just doesn’t want to
admit it. I think it serves him right.”
Julia breathed a sigh of relief. That rascal must be acting stubbornly.
After a moment of hesitation, she continued, “I wonder how their discussion will go later.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma. Gareth can still handle things like this,” Vincent replied confidently.
“Sigh… I hope so too.”
…
At the same moment, Gareth had already caught up to Elisa.
