Chapter 1358 Impatience
Gareth remained silent and kept staring at Elisa.
Elisa refused to let Gareth accompany her and replied sternly, "He's still weak and is not in the
condition to go with me."
"Breakfast is over there, and the medicine is ready. Thomas, let's go."
Elisa nodded at Thomas and ignored Gareth.
Thomas turned to Gareth to gauge his reaction.
Gareth looked stern and uncompromising as steel. His gaze was cold.
Suddenly, he said, "Follow her closely and make sure nothing happens to her."
"Yes, Mr. Wickam," Thomas answered and did not dare to be careless.
Then, he set out with Elisa to the address provided by the masked man. It was a café around thirty-five
kilometers from their hotel.
The masked man only gave the café name and address. As Elisa was about to call him and ask where
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe was seated, she suddenly noticed the masked man sitting facing the main entrance, waving at her.
He wore a different mask this time. It had gold and black patterns. He also wore a black shirt, formal
pants, and leather shoes.
On the whole, he seemed cruel and indifferent, like a powerful emperor.
"I will only talk to you alone."
Eden's expression darkened when he noticed Thomas standing behind Elisa. He pursed his lips and
was displeased.
Elisa turned to Thomas and said, "You can wait for me outside."
"But…" Thomas was worried.
Elisa looked at Eden calmly. "Since you will only talk to me, we can sit here. Don't you dare play any
trick. I won't tolerate them."
"Please have a seat."
Eden gestured for Elisa to sit down.
Thomas watched them sit down and observed Elisa's gaze. Ultimately, he did as Elisa instructed and
went to the doorway.
However, he did not dare to leave and kept staring at them. He feared something could happen to Elisa
at any time.
After all, Gareth had ordered him to keep watch.
He would be in serious trouble if anything were to happen to Elisa. Gareth might even transfer him to a
remote corner of the globe as punishment.
I won't allow Gareth to blame me for any mistake. Most importantly, I can't allow anything to happen to
Elisa!

"I'm here as you requested. You should fulfill your promise and tell me why you helped me." Elisa
looked sternly at Eden, who was still flipping through the menu.
Hearing her, he smiled and replied casually, "Ms. Benett, since you're here, why don't we order coffee
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfirst and take our time to chat? Why the need to rush?"
His tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Although Elisa was annoyed, she had no choice but to smile and reply indifferently, "If you were in my
place, would you have the patience to have coffee with a stranger and chat amicably about who
wanted to kill you?"
"Waiter, bring me two cups of coffee."
Eden ignored Elisa and raised his hand to summon the waiter.
Elisa frowned at being ignored. However, since she was already here, it was pointless to leave so
soon.
Still, she knew Eden did that deliberately to make her flustered. She did not mind acting the part.
Thus, she raised her voice unhappily, "I have no time to waste. Tell me what you want from me so that
you will reveal who tried to kill me."
Eden smiled vaguely, "Ms. Benett, why would I invite you here if I'm not completely sure? Moreover, I
came here alone. If I wanted to do anything to you, wouldn't you and the person you came with fall into
my trap the moment you entered the café?"
