Julia gave Gareth a look, signaling him to go after Elisa. She was satisfied when Gareth did as he was
told.
On the other hand, Elisa was surprised to see Gareth. She went out to avoid him but didn't expect him
to tag along.
"Why are you here?" Elisa asked abruptly.
Gareth shrugged in resignation. "I didn't want to, but Grandma was worried about your safety.
Moreover, you're getting medicines for her, so I am responsible for keeping you safe. Hope you won't
overthink."
Elisa had no reason to reject Gareth, so she made no further comments.

A group of paparazzi came out of nowhere and bombarded Elisa with questions.
"Ms. Benett, have you and Mr. Wickam officially reconciled?"
"Ms. Benett, I'm from New Era Media. Can you reveal when did you guys get back together?"
"Ms. Benett, we've met before. Do you remember? What kind of medicines are you and Mr. Wickam
looking for this time? Are you preparing for pregnancy?"

suffocating, being compassed by the reporters.
"That's enough!" Gareth couldn't take it anymore and scowled at one of the reporters who was getting
too close.
"Is this an interview or interrogation? Do you intend to shove the recorder into her mouth?!"
Gareth looked intimidating with his stern face. Immediately, the crowd quieted down, and no one dared

answer. To the reporters, it was apparent that they had gotten back together!
"Excuse me! You're blocking my recording!"
"The person in front is blocking me! Can't you go to the other side?"
"Get lost, and don't obstruct my sight!"
Meanwhile, Julia couldn't contain her laughter in a black Bentley not far away. If the window wasn't
closed, many would witness her silly smile.
