NovelEnglishElisa couldn't ignore the sense of suffocation and bitterness in her heart upon seeing Gareth in this state. Part of her wished he would remain cold and distant, just as he had been before.
However, amidst these conflicting feelings, certain matters needed to be addressed.
She chuckled, "Oh, a chance to make things right? And how exactly do you propose to do that? With your wealth? Influence? Or perhaps sother grand gesture? You can't just assI'l fall for the idea that you'll do whatever it takes to makehappy.
Can you?" Elisa didn't mince her words; her penetrating gaze left no room for evasion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGareth didn't respond but pursed his lips into a line. His expression turned cold, and his eyes, devoid of the previous sadness, now held a trace of tenderness.
Seeing Gareth in this state, Elisa couldn't help but laugh. She knew deep down that Gareth harbored no genuine feelings for her.
Everything was merely a consequence of their recent interactions and his grandparents’ desire for them to reconcile.
As she was about to say something, Gareth preempted, "Within my abilities, | would do whatever it takes to fulfill your desires." It was a promise. However, this promise failed to evoke even the slightest reaction from Elisa.
Elisa shook her head, a wry smile forming on her lips. "But, | don't lack anything now. Whatever you can do to pleasedoesn't interestin the least. Is there nothing else worth discussing?" With those words, Elisa swiftly changed the subject, determined not to dwell on this pointless matter that would never lead to understanding.
Gareth knew her temperament all too well. Continuing the conversation would only fuel her discontent. However...
He couldn't let it end like this without saying something. He chose a different approach. "Since we're already here and have this place reserved, even if you won't givea chance to make things right, let's not waste the beauty of this scenery.” As he spoke, Gareth took a couple of steps forward, maintaining a respectful distance from Elisa. It was a gesture of consideration towards her.
At first, Elisa felt a whirlwind of emotions. Still, as she listened to Gareth's persuasive words, she couldn't help but restrain herself from launching a barrage of mocking and sneering.
Elisa playfully teased, "You know, it's cringe-worthy when someone of your status and wealth says things like 'let's not waste it'." Gareth was well aware of her resentment and mockery. However, he genuinely believed enjoying this beautiful place with Elisa was a rare opportunity.
Just like Thomas and his grandparents’ reminders before he brought Elisa here. They had emphasized the need to be unwavering, to give his all, and to cast aside pride and dignity, embracing shamelessness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Gareth couldn't fully embrace the shamelessness, he was determined and willing to go all out for her.
With that in mind, he responded to her words, "You do realize I'm filthy rich, right?" Elisa was taken aback by his comeback.
While a considerable amount of money had been spent on the trip to Moranta and the bidding for Ganoderma Caligo, as the esteemed president of the Wickam Group, Gareth wasn't on the verge of bankruptcy, desperately needing to save money.
Although Elisa had yearned for a place like this in the past, her present mindset had shifted.
She didn't want Gareth to misunderstand her out of a slight sense of compassion. She shook her head and said, "I'm tired now and want to return and rest. You can call your subordinates or even Thomas if you feel it's a waste. God knows Thomas has been working hard. I'm sure he could use srecreation and leisure tto relax here." As she spoke, Elisa even kindly offered Gareth ssuggestions and advice on how to use this opportunity.
Gareth's expression remained cold, and they didn't say a word.
Without waiting for his response, Elisa turned and walked away the next second.
