Gareth quietly ate his meal.
“He probably hasn't got a surprise prepared. It was just a show to let others know I'm his,” Elisa giggled.
Julia frowned and looked at Gareth unhappily. “You have to keep your promises. How did | bring you up? How are you more like a child now?” Julia continued frostily when she saw Gareth’s tightly shut lips. “Where have your manners gone? This is not something you should do! Our family did not bring you up to be this kind of person!” Elisa reached over and held Julia’s hand. “Grandma, the situation is different. He was trying to help me. It was just something he said to the crowd, you don’t have to take it too seriously. As for Mr. Wickam, he is a man of his word. He has always kept his promises in other matters,” Elisa said with a smile.
Gareth turned his piercing gaze toward Elisa. He couldn’t say anything with Julia present.
Julia wouldn't let the matter rest. “I don’t care what you do; you must surprise Elisa! If Elisa isn't satisfied, you better redo it!!” “I don't think that's necessary, Grandma,” Elisa said hesitantly.

“What? Do you think you're so independent you can disregard the manners | taught you?!” “That's not it.” Gareth couldn't retort back.

“Since you single-handedly prepared all those roses for Elisa, you can do the stoday. Prepare something to surprise Elisa.
You'll stop only when she is satisfied!” Elisa did not expect Julia's next words to have such an impact on Gareth. She burst out into laughter. She did not care that Julia was still around. She turned to Gareth and said through tears of laughter, “Oh my gosh! With Grandma behind me, all | need to do is be displeased with your efforts. What an easy revenge!” Julia, too, burst out in laughter, “That's a good idea! Just say you're unhappy with whatever he has done! He needs to be punished!” Elisa could feel the unhappiness rolling off Gareth, even without looking at him. She ignored it and nodded in compliance.
“Let's do that! Alright, Mr. Wickam, please prepare my surprise! Grandma did say that you should keep your word. It wouldn't be good if the news of Wickam Group's president breaking a promise made in good faith spread out.” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
