Gareth, “…”
Elisa heard what was said when she walked over. She coughed and sat down.
Julia chuckled, “Gareth, just because the both of you are divorced does not mean that you are allowed
to treat Elisa badly. Elisa is practically my own granddaughter! And I love her as such! You need to be
good to her! Now go and pick out some designs and have them tailor made for her!”
“Grandma…” Gareth frowned.
He was obviously frustrated.
Monica’s expression darkened. Before she could say something, Elisa interjected, “Grandma, I have
more than enough clothes. I don’t need more.”

“Grandma.”
“Grandma.”

going to buy them or not?!”
“Fine!” Gareth was irritated.
Julia chuckled. She smiled happily at Elisa, “Are you going to accept them or not?!”

“D*mn right!” Julia went back to eating her noodles. She devoured every single piece and rubbed her
belly. “You old fart, why did you give me so much food? You know I don’t eat as much as I used to. I’m
about to burst!” She sighed exasperatedly.
Darren frowned, “You didn’t have to finish it all!”
“I wouldn’t have finished it if you hadn’t cooked it yourself!” Julia complained.
Darren suddenly didn’t know how to respond to that. Finally, he sighed, “I’ll cook more often in the
future, so don’t push yourself next time, okay?”

“Fine! Fine! We’ll do as you say.”

“Don’t worry about it. Grandma understands.”
Elisa, “…”
What did Grandma understand? Why didn’t she understand?
This dinner was extremely successful!
Elisa had to stay back with the rest of the Wickams when the banquet ended. Julia had ordered her to
help send the guests off as part of the family.

even though they were divorced, she was still an important part of the Wickam family.

it that they have seemed to set aside their differences and made up?
