FreeNovelChapter 1901 Departure In the end, Elisa, Gareth, and the village chief could not reach an agreement.
Anna wanted to explain, but the village chief took her away.
Elisa and Gareth returned htogether.
Mrs. Kella had already prepared a table full of food for them. When she saw that they had returned, she greeted them cheerfully.
“Csit down! It's tto eat.” Mrs. Kella noticed the expressions on their faces and assumed they hadn't won, so she didn't bring up the matter on her own.
During the meal, all three were preoccupied with their own thoughts, preventing them from fully enjoying the food.
After finishing her meal, Mrs. Kella put down her cutlery to give them sheartfelt advice. “Actually, sometimes it's quite good to let things take their natural course. If you've tried your best, then no matter what, there will be no regrets.” The two understood that Mrs. Kella was trying to tell them that sthings could not be forced.

We'll take things slow.” After urging Mrs. Kella to go to bed in her room, Elisa looked at Gareth under the moonlight. For sreason, she felt that something was quite strange about him this time.
There was always an unsettling and ominous feeling in her heart which made her frown constantly.
Elisa sat next to Gareth, gently tapping him because he seemed lost in thought.
“No worries. We'll just stick to what we initially discussed and steal it as planned. As soon as we get it, we must leave immediately. When the opportunity arises, we'll cback to apologize in person.” Gareth curved his lips into a smile, nodding slightly.
If Elisa had carefully observed Gareth's expression, she would have certainly noticed that something was off.
It was a pity that the moonlight was dim that day, and Gareth deliberately turned his head to prevent her from seeing him clearly.
After a while, Gareth pointed to the bottle of alcohol on the table. “Joinfor a drink. I've been under a lot of stress lately.” Elisa nodded and lifted her cup, but she hesitated a bit before taking a sip.
“What's the matter?” Gareth asked, chuckling as he glanced at Elisa. “Are you afraid I've poisoned it?” He then poured himself a drink and finished it in a single gulp.
With a gentle smile, Elisa shook her head.
She was not afraid of being poisoned, but she was concerned that Gareth was going to take advantage of her falling unconscious to send her away.
But now that Gareth had taken a gulp, she was more at ease.
Under the moonlight, the two of them began to drink, one glass after the other.
Suddenly, Elisa felt her eyelids grow heavy. Her head spun, and her vision blurred as if the whole world had started to spin around her.
She inwardly cried out in alarm, turning her gaze toward Gareth.
The latter wore an apologetic expression. Elisa knew she had been tricked, and her worst fears had indeed cto pass.
She wanted to say something, but the drug took effect quickly. Elisa slumped onto the table, falling into a deep sleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore losing consciousness, Elisa had just one thought in mind.
Gareth had deceived her.
As he watched Elisa drift into unconsciousness, Gareth suppressed his reluctance, greedily tracing her eyes with his own gaze, as if he wanted to etch her image into his heart.
“I'm sorry,” Gareth said indifferently.
If it were not for such desperate circumstances, he would never have wanted to abandon Elisa, adrift in the vast ocean.
However, the only ones left there now were Sodo, who harbored ulterior motives, as well as the cunning and crafty village chief.
He simply couldn't bear to leave Elisa alone.
“Soran, when you cback for me, | will personally atone for my sins.” Gareth's murmuring voice was carried away by the wind as his kisses gently landed on Elisa's eyelids.
When Elisa cto, it was already bright outside.
She instinctively thought that everything that happened yesterday was just a dream.
But upon waking up and looking around, Elisa realized it was not a dream.
Indeed, she was on a small boat, with an envelope beside her, as well as the Nomadic Odyssey.
