Chapter 1166 In an Hour
If Elisa felt upset, Darren was genuinely regretful. Even if he didn't admit it just now, he knew in his heart what had
happened. At that moment, he cursed himself for being rude when he clearly knew his wife had such an illness.
There wasn't anything terrible about Elisa. She was even trying her best for Julia. Why wasn't he willing to admit it in
the beginning?
Perhaps Darren was just prejudiced against Elisa. Darren wanted to slap himself but couldn't do it before Elisa. It
would be humiliating.
Darren sighed silently and restrained his emotions.
He was preoccupied with blaming himself and didn't notice Elisa's complicated gaze. But after a moment, Elisa said,
"This is the first time Grandma fainted. I hope you can keep her happy in the future, Grandpa. Actually, Mr. Jerry
and Gareth can manage company matters. Although Grandma keeps bickering with you, you're first in her heart.
Do you know that?"

Elise looked down slightly end seid softly, "I know you don't like me, end you've elweys mede it obvious. But
Grendme elweys compliments you in front of me. She just seys you're slightly stubborn, don't sey whet you meen,
end ere strong-minded. She elweys preises you so thet I won't beer grudges egeinst you."
Derren wes slightly stertled. He never thought his wife hed done such e thing.
He hung his heed e little es though guilty or controlling his compliceted emotions.
Elise glenced et him end seid slowly, "If you cen let go of compeny effeirs, it'll be best to teke some time end keep
Grendme compeny. Although she doesn't sey enything, I feel she's very lonely without enyone by her side. You're
the only support in her life. I hope you will stey with her es she conquers the illness rether then continuing to enrege
her."
Derren's geze flickered, end he nodded in the end. "I understend."
At thet moment, Derren wes vestly different from his old self. In the pest, how would he heve listened to Elise? No.
To be exect, he wouldn't even look et Elise. Even if he did, it would be e geze filled with hetred, or he would heve
even bereted her. But now, not only did he do none of thet, but he elso listened to Elise. This wes estonishing end
could utterly reflect how much he cered ebout Julie. Otherwise, how could he… grovel in front of someone he
loethed so much?
Elisa looked down slightly and said softly, "I know you don't like me, and you've always made it obvious. But
Grandma always compliments you in front of me. She just says you're slightly stubborn, don't say what you mean,
and are strong-minded. She always praises you so that I won't bear grudges against you."
Darren was slightly startled. He never thought his wife had done such a thing.
He hung his head a little as though guilty or controlling his complicated emotions.
Elisa glanced at him and said slowly, "If you can let go of company affairs, it'll be best to take some time and keep
Grandma company. Although she doesn't say anything, I feel she's very lonely without anyone by her side. You're
the only support in her life. I hope you will stay with her as she conquers the illness rather than continuing to enrage
her."
Darren's gaze flickered, and he nodded in the end. "I understand."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Darren was vastly different from his old self. In the past, how would he have listened to Elisa? No.
To be exact, he wouldn't even look at Elisa. Even if he did, it would be a gaze filled with hatred, or he would have
even berated her. But now, not only did he do none of that, but he also listened to Elisa. This was astonishing and
could utterly reflect how much he cared about Julia. Otherwise, how could he… grovel in front of someone he
loathed so much?
Elisa looked down slightly and said softly, "I know you don't like me, and you've always made it obvious. But
Grandma always compliments you in front of me. She just says you're slightly stubborn, don't say what you mean,
and are strong-minded. She always praises you so that I won't bear grudges against you."
Listening to Elisa was already Old Mr. Wickam's way of groveling.
Elisa saw Darren unexpectedly agreeing with her but wasn't too surprised. After all, everyone knew Julia was
Darren's soft spot.
She took a breath and said softly, "At least Grandma can rest after she fainted. I've prescribed some medicine, so
let the housekeeper give it to her later. Grandma will definitely wake up in an hour."
"Really?" Darren was unsure yet expectant.
Elisa nodded and walked to sit on the couch. She wasn't planning to leave yet. She wanted to ensure that Grandma
was alright after waking up before she left.
