NovelEnglishJulia was reluctant to let Elisa go, but she had run out of ways to persuade her. “All right then. It's late, and | shouldn't keep you here any longer. It would be best if you headed hsoon. It's not safe to be out so late.” Elisa nodded, but before she could say anything, Gareth said, “I'll send her back. | happen to have swork matters to discuss with her.” Elisa frowned and was deeply against Gareth’s offer.
However, she remembered they would have to work together soon. He might need to instruct her on swork matters. Thus, she did not refuse.
Julia was surprised and wanted to say something. But she saw Elisa's expression and kept quiet.
Elisa smiled at Julia. “Grandma, I'll be leaving first.” “Sure, cand seeagain when you're free. You don't have to cwhen you're busy with work. You should prioritize work.” Elisa smiled and nodded. “All right. | understand.” After exchanging a few more words, Gareth and Elisa left together.

Elisa was frustrated. She did not want Julia to worry, so she had no choice but to enter the car.
Gareth glanced toward Julia. “You should go back into the house.” Julia refused to move. “I want to see you and Elisa off.” Elisa's lashes fluttered as she recalled a video she saw recently of grandparents watching longingly as their grandchildren leave.
Presently, Julia reminded Elisa of the grandparents in the video.
Elisa looked down and felt conflicting emotions in her heart.
She regarded Julia as her real grandmother.
Gareth did not say anything but entered the car and closed the door. He then started the engine and drove the car away.
Elisa glanced at the rear-view mirror and saw Julia still watching them longingly.
Once the car left the manor, Elisa turned to Gareth and said calmly, “Do you have swork matter to talk toabout? If not...” Gareth interrupted indifferently, “I have no reason to lie to Grandma.” Elisa was surprised to find that he was telling the truth.
She paused briefly before asking, “What did you want to tell me?” “Let's send you hfirst. | need to use the computer.” Elisa frowned slightly. “It's very late and inconvenient for you to sendback. | can get a taxi over here. You can go hand use your laptop to discuss the matter with me.” Gareth’s expression turned cold. He knew what Elisa meant.

Elisa frowned slightly. “Can you letoff here?” “It's not safe for you to be outside alone.” Elisa's eyes flashed with mockery, but she suddenly recalled Julia’s words about how unsafe it was for a girl to be out alone.
Thus, Elisa believed Gareth was concerned that something would happen to her. Then, he would not be able to answer his grandmother.
Therefore, Elisa decided to shut up. It was pointless to say anything.
No one spoke for the rest of the journey.
The car slowed down to a stop outside of Elisa's apartment. Elisa undid her seatbelt and turned to Gareth. “Thank you for sendingback.” Gareth’s expression was calm as he undid his seatbelt.
At the stime, there was a black Maybach parked nearby.
The door at the Maybach’s driver's seat suddenly opened as soon as Elisa stepped out of the car.
