“Sleep early tonight. I will try my best to confirm this matter as soon as possible and contact you after that.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
Will frowned. “I do not like to hear that from you. I would like it if you consider saying ‘Will, I like you’ rather than
‘Thank you’ next time.”
Elisa frowned quietly.
Will smiled and continued, “Then, I will know that you intend to thank me. Don’t worry. I will not misunderstand.”
Elisa could not say anything in response.
“Well, I’ll stop teasing you already. You should go to sleep.” Will’s tone was still gentle, but he could taste the
bitterness of his words.
“Mmm.”
Elisa simply grunted in reply. Then, both of them ended the call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa held the phone in her hand tightly. She had lost her desire to sleep.
“Elisa, why are you not asleep yet? It is already very late!”
Suddenly, Rachel’s voice sounded from outside her bedroom door. Elisa quickly replied, “I’m going to sleep now.”
She was not fully recovered and still needed someone to take care of her, so Rachel decided to stay with her for
the time being.
After all, both she and Elisa needed to go on business trips. On the other hand, Carle had to stay in the hospital for
treatment.
The wound on his head was too severe that he had almost become paralyzed. So he would not be discharged so
soon.
“Okay, you rest early too. Call me if you need me.”
Rachel yawned.
She had gotten up to go to the washroom and heard noises from Elisa’s bedroom.
“Okay.” Rachel returned to her room after hearing Elisa’s reply.
The house was exceptionally quiet, but Elisa could not fall asleep.
She was eager and impatient to know what Will had found out.
…
In Benett Residence.
It wasn’t just Elisa and Rachel who were still awake.
Norman and his family were on the sofa in the study. All of them looked grim.
“What should we do? Ten days have passed! Our engagement is coming up soon, but Gareth has not done
anything. What should I do? Dad, Mom, can you please give me some advice?”
Linda was anxious. She was afraid that her engagement would be called off. After all, he had said such harsh words
that day. What should she do?
Rose frowned. “You must have misheard that day at the hospital.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLinda roared in frustration. “No! I heard it loud and clear! He wanted to call off the engagement! He does not want
to get engaged to me!”
Rose shook her head. “Well, even if that’s the case, the Wickam family has not done or said anything. It is only ten
days to your engagement party, and nothing odd has happened. If he planned to call off the engagement, he would
have notified us. Our family is not like any other ordinary family. He should give us an explanation if he wants to call
off the engagement, shouldn’t he?”
Norman nodded. “That’s right. If the Wickam family wanted to call it off, they would come up with something first
and let us know beforehand to uphold both families’ reputations. Furthermore, our family business is thriving. Do
you know how much he would lose if he gave you up and worked with Darcey Group?”
Linda frowned hard. “But…”
Rose sighed, “Linda, he no longer trusts you like before. He has probably listened to the whole recording already. So
if you manage to be engaged to him, you will be his rightful partner. Then, you can slowly find ways to make him
fall in love with you.”
