Chapter 1679 Don’t Overthink It
The person she referred to was evidently the man lying on the ground.
Elisa met Gareth's eyes as they shared a knowing gaze.
In the end, they chose not to be involved in the matter.
They had done all that they could do. It was up to Bella now.
Gareth stepped back and stood beside Elisa.
Bella turned to Elisa and took her hand. "Thank you," Bella said sincerely.
Bella was quick-witted. She knew that her cousin respected his wife's opinion.
She was also well aware that Elisa had been a great help to her all this time.
In a matter of seconds, a bodyguard appeared to take Keith away. After bidding them goodbye, Bella walked away
in the opposite direction.
Elisa and Gareth walked back to the room together.
Elisa's brows were furrowed with worry, and Gareth could tell she was still concerned about Bella. "Are you still
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtworried about her?" he asked.
Elisa's eyes flickered with worry and uneasiness. She then looked at Gareth and asked, "Do you think she'll let them
go?"
Gareth replied without any hesitation, "No."
Elisa raised an amused eyebrow, "How are you so sure?"
She could still recall how Bella had hesitated at the front door, unsure whether to open it.
Gareth halted his steps and met her gaze. "First, she's part of the Wickam family. Second, she was raised by
Grandma when she was younger. If she doesn't have the strength to let go of what's not good for her, then she's
not worthy of running the company," Gareth said in a firm, solemn voice.
The person she referred to was evidently the man lying on the ground.
Elisa pondered over his words before nodding in agreement. "You're right."
Gareth was indeed a man worthy of his powerful standing in the company.
As they walked, Elisa finally realized that her room wasn't in the same direction as his.
When he noticed Elisa's eyes darting around in confusion, he explained, "You're only back this late as you were
helping my family member's personal matters. I have the responsibility to send you back to your room. Don't
overthink it."
Her lips curled into a smile when she heard his explanation. "Don't worry, I never assumed otherwise."
She closed the door behind her as soon as the words left her mouth.
She left his side so abruptly that Gareth was dumbfounded.
He stood still by the door for an extended period.
As someone who was objective-driven and goal-oriented, he couldn't explain his behavior. Why did he send Elisa
back, and why was he so concerned for Bella?
Even though it was a waste of time, he got personally involved in the situation and got caught up in it.
Was it solely because she was his family member?
He couldn't come up with an answer for his odd behaviors.
As Elisa stood by the door, she recalled the moment when Gareth appeared before her today. When he was
around, she felt secure.
It was as if he could shield her from any harm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo way. Elisa shook her head exasperatedly to shake away the thoughts in her head.
At night.
As Elisa lay on the bed, she couldn't help but worry that she would have trouble falling asleep again tonight.
Contrary to her expectations, she fell asleep in no time. It could've been due to fatigue from not sleeping well
yesterday.
The sun was already up in the skies, and sunlight gently poured into the room.
Gareth's knock on the door finally woke her up from her slumber.
After getting up from the bed, she asked, "What is it?"
She took her time to walk to the door. "Get your things packed. It's Bella's wedding today," Gareth spoke dryly.
Elisa's eyes widened in shock when his words registered. "What did you say?"
"Get dressed up, and we'll talk about it later."
Gareth knew she heard him loud and clear.
Elisa's mouth gaped slightly in shock and confusion. Bella still wanted to proceed with the wedding.
Gareth's eyes lit up with a steely glint when he saw Elisa all dressed up as she opened the door.
Elisa exuded exceptional charisma and elegance even without wearing any makeup.
