Gareth spoke in a domineering tone and left no room for negotiation.
"The couch is too small. You might accidentally hurt your wound when turning over." Elisa objected and
insisted on sleeping on the couch. The previous dispute was just to mess with him–she didn't intend to
sleep on his bed because she couldn't fall asleep with his lingering scent.
"If Grandma sees you sleeping on the couch, I will get a scolding from her again. So, you better take
the room." With that, Gareth walked out of the bedroom.
After Gareth left, Elisa hesitantly lay down on the bed. As expected, her mind was filled with Gareth's
figure as soon as she closed her eyes. His unique scent wafted into Elisa's nose, as overbearing as
him.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe next morning, Julia woke early to have breakfast with Elisa and Gareth. She wanted to know how
the night went but didn't expect them to wake up earlier than her.
One didn't sleep well because the couch was too small, while the other didn't sleep well because of the
unfamiliar bed. As such, both of them had dark circles the next day.
Julia was surprised to see them wake up this early. Looking at them, she misunderstood the cause of
the dark circles and was overjoyed. On the other hand, Elisa and Gareth were resigned. Of course,
they could tell what Julia was thinking, but they didn't explain further.
Throughout the breakfast, Julia kept asking about the situation last night. The couple gave ambiguous
answers as Julia continued asking questions tirelessly.
Finally, the two couldn't deal with it anymore and returned to the room to pack their stuff halfway
through breakfast. Julia sighed when she saw them leave. "Even their back profiles seem cut out for
each other."

Elisa glanced at Gareth, who followed her into the room and asked, "Why did you come up so early?"
"My reason is the same as yours." Gareth crossed his arms before his chest and leaned against the
wall. Neither of them could handle Julia's relentless interrogation. Being reminded of Julia's eagerness
for them to remarry, they exchanged glances and fell silent.
"Since you're here, you can pack your stuff." Elisa pointed at an empty piece of luggage in the
cupboard.
However, Gareth went to sit on the bed and said, "I have difficulty moving my hand. Can you help me?"
His request came out so naturally that he didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.
To his surprise, Elisa didn't retort but started packing his stuff. He didn't expect her to be this obedient

When he saw Elisa ironing his clothes, he felt like they were indeed a married couple.
Startled by the feeling, Gareth shook himself out of the daze and averted his gaze from Elisa.
Nonetheless, his action didn't match his thought. He couldn't help glancing at Elisa to observe what she
was doing.
Around twenty minutes later, Elisa finished packing and placed the two pieces of luggage neatly beside
the door. Exhaling deeply, she didn't rest but took the medical kit and walked toward Gareth.
She unbuttoned Gareth's shirt without saying anything, catching Gareth off guard. He effortlessly
seized Elisa's fair, tender hand. Her hand was so delicate as if Gareth could easily break it with a little
force.
