Chapter 1250 Growing Old Together
As Elisa got out of bed, she experienced a range of feelings.
Her heart sank for a second as she realized everything was the same.
For her, this location had far too many memories.
She and Gareth had spent relatively little time together in this house over the three years, yet she still
remembered every small thing.
But she felt oddly alien as she attempted to remember them now.
She recalled an incident in which Gareth entered the bedroom unexpectedly shortly after she had
awakened.
His expression was grave.
She no longer felt surprised as she stared at Gareth in perplexity; she could see that he was in a foul

"Why... did you come back all of a sudden?"
Gareth gave her a cold smile and said, "How many more lowly tricks do you plan to play?"
Elisa's complexion darkened right away. Even though she was aware that he was upset, she initially
believed that something nasty outside was to blame. She didn't assume that she would be the target of
that rage.
She had no idea what Gareth was discussing. She still had illusions about him and wanted to have a
happy life with him. She, therefore, had a different perspective on Gareth than she had now.
She questioned, shaking her head unconsciously, "What did I do?"
Gareth replied with a sneer and an unpleasant tone, "She is currently unresponsive and unconscious in
bed. Do you still intend to insult her? Elisa, you are now Mrs. Wickam. Everyone believes your good
facade. How long do you intend to stir up a ruckus? Do you intend to face up against a vegetable? She
had already endured enough pain."
Elisa shook her head firmly as her face turned even paler. "I did visit her, but when did I make a
provocative comment? I made no mention of you in front of her. But why do you misunderstand me like
this? Did someone say something to you?"
Elisa had no reason to mistrust anyone because she hadn't done anything, yet she did so because
Gareth had misread her in this way. Although she suspected it may be her uncle and aunt, she couldn't
believe it. She had always thought they wouldn't act in such a manner.
"You snake…Do you still want to bite somebody right now?" Gareth had a scornful gaze and an
oppressive air that gave off the impression that he would choke her at any second.
Elisa was truly hurt when a sharp ache tore through her heart. While faking a sour grin, she remarked,
"Since you don't believe me, then I have nothing more to say."

There was no need for extraneous justifications.
She had to accept reality even if she desired a happy life with Gareth. What was the use of explaining
in such a beseeching and modest way if the other person didn't believe a word you said?
"You are speechless in defense," Gareth's tone got icier. He continued speaking in a threatening
manner, "Elisa, you need to control yourself. All the fake fame you need is already yours. Please refrain
from letting me discover that you can act in such a disgusting manner evermore. Please treat her with
respect as she is your sister. I won't tolerate it if I learn about it again in the future!"
Elisa suddenly laughed desolately, "Won't tolerate..."
When Gareth's judgmental stare settled on her face, Elisa gently raised her head and grinned at him,
"And have you ever tolerated? Over these years, haven't you tortured me? I was delusional, hoping to
grow old together with you."
Elisa's words seemed too funny, and Gareth couldn't help but chuckle at her.
