Chapter 362 How Guilty Should the Ex-wife Be?
After Gareth went back to his bedroom, Elisa walked up to the couch and opened the bag to see a phone
box and medicine below it.
Elisa was surprised. She took out the medicine and was stunned to realize that it was an ointment to
treat bruises. She recalled that she had lifted her gown during the banquet, so Gareth had seen her leg. I
can’t believe he’s so attentive.
Elisa didn’t bother with the ointment and went back to her bedroom after setting up the new phone to
contact Charli.
Charli soon picked up the call.
“Elisa?”
Elisa’s eyes glistened. “Charli, my phone was spoiled after being soaked in water. I just replaced my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtphone card.”
Charli asked worriedly, “What exactly happened?”
Elisa pressed her lips. “I’m not sure about the exact situation. I stepped outside alone, and someone
pushed me into the water.”
Charli snorted and grumbled crabbily, “I have to find out who the culprit is! I’ve already sent someone to
look into the matter. I believe it won’t take long to catch that person. Luckily you informed me earlier.”
Elisa mumbled, “The culprit most probably got a scapegoat, but there’s still a chance of finding some
clues. I’m leaving this matter to you, Charli. Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. You don’t have to thank me.” Charli seemed to be displeased.
Elisa smiled. “How are you now? Is everything okay?” Charli’s worried voice emerged again.
“I’m all well. Don’t worry about me, Charli.”
“Okay. Be more careful from now on and try not to go out on your own.”
“Alright.” Elisa still wanted to say something to Charli, but a frosty voice came forth from outside the door.
“Come out for dinner.”
Elisa thought that what she wanted to say wasn’t too important, so she said, “Charli, I have some other
matters to attend to. Goodbye.”
“Alright, go ahead. Take care.”
“Thanks.” Elisa was touched.
After hanging up the call, she walked out of the room. Gareth had already arranged the meal boxes on
the dining table. Elisa washed her hands and sat down across from Gareth. At that moment, Gareth had
already started eating. Elisa thought the scene was rather surreal.
Although there was no deadly feud between Gareth and her, they had divorced after all, yet they were
under the same roof now and their interaction was even more intimate than when they were married…
Truth was, Gareth had never eaten with her at home during their three years of marriage. He would only
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmappear at the dining table when Julia threatened him. But now…
Ha. I guess it’s because of Grandma. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought me along for this business
trip.
At that thought, Elisa picked up the cutleries.
Suddenly, Gareth’s phone rang. He frowned upon seeing the incoming caller ID. Elisa instinctively
thought he hated being interrupted while having a meal.
Gareth was reluctant to answer the call, but remembering that Elisa was sitting across from him, he
involuntarily picked up the call and put it on speaker.
Before Gareth could say anything, an anxious voice came forth. “Hey Garry, is everything okay? I saw
you walk out with Elisa in your arms. Did you rescue her? Are both of you okay?”
Sarcasm flashed through Elisa’s eyes. So, it’s her. She definitely sounds gentle and thoughtful. Her
fiancé is involved with her cousin, who is also her fiancé’s ex-wife. Not only isn’t she displeased, but
she’s actually worried sick. How guilty should the ex-wife be?
Elisa lifted her eyes and noticed the complicated emotions in Gareth’s eyes.
