Elisa chuckled. She continued to speak softly.
"Well, if you are hungry, prepare some food downstairs. Or you could always order food delivery."
"Alright, got it. But what if the two never leave? What should we do?"
Elisa smiled confidently.
"Gareth's pride would never let him do something like that. Don't worry. They will leave soon."
Elisa knew Gareth well. After all, she had spent three years observing this man's likes and dislikes. She
had wanted to give him the best she could.
It was an unrequited love, to be exact. She had been the only one putting effort into this relationship,
and she was now exhausted.
"Sigh. There is really nothing we can do." Since Elisa had spoken to this extent, Rachel relented and
got up. "I'm going downstairs to make some food. You should rest more. But what time did you last eat?
Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry yet. I had some food before you arrived just now."
Elisa was lying. It had been five hours since she had last eaten. But she did not want to meet Gareth
downstairs. She would rather wait.
"Alright then. I'll go downstairs to have a look then."
Rachel got up and went downstairs. The two men were still on the sofa. One was looking at his phone
while the other one was waiting. His presence made the whole space feel uncomfortable.
The two men immediately glanced in Rachel's direction when they heard the sound of footsteps. When
Gareth saw that it was Rachel, he looked away. Vincent, however, raised his eyebrows.
"Did you sleep? How is Elisa?"
Rachel knew Elisa wouldn't want Gareth to know too much, so she did not dwell much on it.
"Elisa is asleep. I came down for some food because I was hungry."
Vincent nodded. But the next moment, he smiled, "I made two bowls of noodles just now. I think they
taste quite good. Do you want one?"
Rachel cast a suspicious glance toward the man in front of her. "You know how to cook?"
"Of course. My cooking skills are excellent. If you miss it today, you wouldn't have a second chance to
try it anymore."
Vincent raised his legs and crossed them as he spoke. He looked so confident, but only Gareth knew
that he had changed his position to make it easier for him to get up if Rachel wanted the noodles.
Gareth pursed his lips. When did Vincent become so aggressive? Had he really taken Jeremy and his
advice?
But Gareth kept quiet.
Rachel, however, did not believe Vincent. She spoke in disgust.
"Whatever. I don't want to be sent to the hospital for eating the food you made. I don't want to be
poisoned by you. Forget about snatching my heirloom."
Vincent's face darkened. He spoke coldly, "Fine. Whatever you say. Moreover, that heirloom is mine!
Mine! Do you hear me? I'm only letting you hold on to it for a few days! You'll still have to give it back to
me eventually!"
Gareth, "This doesn't look good."
He had expected too much of Vincent.
