“Haha, okay. I’ll wait for you.” Old Madam Wickam seemed to be in a good mood. On top of just waking
up from her afternoon nap, she was in high spirits.
“Haha, okay. I’ll wait for you.” Old Madam Wickam seemed to be in a good mood. On top of just waking
up from her afternoon nap, she was in high spirits.
The both of them chatted, and they looked like they were related. There were no barriers or boundaries
between them.
They talked and laughed, and it was unknowingly dinner time.
“Old Madam Wickam. Ms. Benett. The food is ready. Would you like it to be served now?”
Julia was a little startled. “Look at the time. Yes, serve the food.”
“Alright.”
Julia smiled. She got up, and she was still holding onto Elisa’s hand.
However, after they had washed their hands, they noticed that the doors of the manor were open.
Elisa and Julia looked over at the same time. When they saw a tall figure, the smile on the corners of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir mouths froze.
The man raised his brows slightly. “Am I so unwelcome?”
Surprise flickered across Elisa’s eyes.
In the past, if she and Grandma had such expressions, his face would be dark.
But today, he looked like he was in a pretty good mood.
Elisa looked away and didn’t say a word.
Although Grandma had said that there no one else would be around tonight, it was plausible that
Gareth knew about it and came over intentionally. After all, this man had been willing to swallow his
pride to work with her.
Elisa looked away and picked up the cutlery before handing it to Julia.
When Julia took it from her, she looked at Gareth, slightly displeased. “Why are you here?”
He was dumbstruck.
When he walked over, Julia couldn’t help but say, “Liz and I are going to eat. Is something wrong?”
Gareth was stupefied once more.
Is he interrupting their dinner if he didn’t have a reason to look for Grandma?
When did Grandma get so sick of him?
She wanted to chase him away while Elisa was around?
Gareth’s expression suddenly turned nasty.
Elisa didn’t hold back. Her lips curved.
Now, she felt that Grandma was becoming more endearing. Furthermore, Grandma had truly embraced
not getting them back together. Elisa let out a small sigh of relief.
Gareth’s brows furrowed slightly. “I came to see you, but are you trying to get rid of me?”
Julia suddenly felt a little conflicted.
Her grandson rarely came back. It seemed to have hurt him when she suddenly wanted to chase him
away.
But out of all the times to return, he chose a time like this?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJulia looked at him a little strangely. “So you came to see me?”
Gareth’s expression was calm. “Grandpa called and said that you were alone at home tonight. He said
that you haven’t been in a good mood recently, so he told me to come to keep you company.”
Julia was dumbfounded.
In an instant, she couldn’t say anything to get rid of her grandson.
Elisa’s eyes flashed slightly. Has Grandma been in a bad mood recently?
She turned and glanced at Gareth. She finally said, “Grandma, let’s eat.”
This was his house. How could she get rid of him?
And Gareth had come to visit Grandma. She had been in a bad mood and needed people to be with
her. Elisa couldn’t make Grandma get rid of Gareth for her sake.
This would affect the relationship between the grandmother and the grandson.
Gareth was, in turn, very pleased with Elisa. He washed his hands in the washroom before he walked
and sat across from Elisa.
Seeing her exquisite yet motionless face, Gareth held his gaze back slightly and didn’t say anything.
Julia glanced at Elisa, slightly worried. Seeing that there wasn’t much disdain in Elisa’s eyes, Julia said,
“What a coincidence. Liz…”
