FreeNovelChapter 223
But Gareth completely ignored him. Vincent scooted closer to him and whispered in his ears, “Can’t
you restrain your emotions for a bit? I’m freezing to death here! On top of that, do you want people to
think that you’re grumpy because you weren’t the sole winner of the race?”
Gareth’s sharp gaze fell on Vincent, who instantly conceded defeat. Raising his hands, he said,
“Alright, alright. Just ignore me.”
The results were already announced, and the host was enthusiastically proceeding with prize–giving.
Elisa smiled at Carie. “Carle.”
Gareth heard her voice, which she had deliberately changed into another tone. Does she have to be so chummy with him?
Carle looked over at her. “Yes?”

It’s meaningless to stay here any further, and I don’t want to be wherever Gareth is. Not that I’m afraid
of him, but it’s annoying.
Even though it was a coincidence that he participated in the race himself – simply because he wanted
the project – she found it unlucky to be even meeting him here.
Carle’s gaze flickered before he asked, “Shall we go, then? Let’s have a meal together. I’m sure we are
all hungry.”
“Sure, sure! Eli- Babe, you are the star of the day! Carle has to buy you a meal!” Rachel replied
excitedly, but she almost let slip Elisa’s name again.
Nevertheless, Gareth was paying attention, and he heard half of Elisa’s name.
Even Vincent realized that something was odd. It really is Elisa!
Initially, she just spoke two syllables, but she quickly changed it to ‘Babe.’
The sound of knuckles cracking at that moment was slightly intruding, but Carle did not pay much
attention to their exchange. “Let’s go. It’ll be just the four of us tonight.” Then, he looked at Edward.
“Dad, you don’t have to worry about us.”
“Alright. Take care of the three of them.
Carle nodded with a smile before looking inquisitively at Elisa, waiting for her reply.
After a moment of hesitation, she finally nodded. “Alright. Let’s have dinner together.”
They stood up and smiled at Edward before leaving.
Meanwhile, Gareth merely watched impassively as Elisa left without saying anything. Vincent frowned
slightly at him, but just as he was about to say something, Gareth suddenly got up.
Vincent hastily followed suit. “Where are you going?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWill narrowed his eyes at them as his gaze became even more profound.
Wisteria is not as simple as she seems. I’ve definitely seen her, but I can’t remember when.
“Look for Wisteria’s information. The more details, the better,” he instructed his assistant.
“Yes.”
The skies were getting darker, but the host was still making some speeches that no one was interested
in. The audience merely watched the key players leave.
After getting into the car, Carle sat in the co–drivers seat and turned around. “What would you like to
eat?” he
asked with a smile.
Elisa did not reply, but Rachel licked her lips greedily. “How about paella?”
“Sure! Sounds good!” Sheena’s eyes lit up. “I’d like a spicy one!”
“Oh, Carle can’t take spicy food. How about ordering a non–spicy one instead?”
Carle smiled and looked at Elisa. If she refused to have paella for dinner, he would oblige.
