No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) -
Chapter 1571
When he mentioned them, he couldn't help but think of the image of her holding Mr. Lynch closely.
The thought made his heart beat faster and his head throb with pain.
Elisa was furious with Gareth's behavior.
She glared at him and said, "Since when did I go overboard? You're the one who's going overboard!"
Why did he have to keep controlling her life?
And he had always acted arrogant whenever he demanded that she do things his way.
Gareth refused to accept her judgment of him.
"I don't think I'm going overboard."
"That's your opinion, but isn't it up to me to decide if you're overstepping my boundaries?"
Their disagreement sparked another argument.
"Sure, it's up to you to decide if I'm crossing the line, but I disagree. Do you have to dismiss my efforts for such a
minor issue? Aren't you being unfair to me?"
Elisa's eyes widened in disbelief and surprise, her heart hammering in her chest.
She never expected Gareth to bring up fairness.
Nevertheless, since he had started the conversation about fairness, she wasn't going to hold back her thoughts.
"You're blaming me for being unfair to you now? But have you ever treated me fairly before?" she scoffed.
Was he trying to lay the blame at her feet?
"Elisa, you shouldn't bring up the past."
"Why not? It hasn't been that long."
Elisa was quick to rebut his argument.
It hadn't been that long since they were last together, so there was no reason to separate the past from the
present like it didn't matter anymore.
Gareth had never treated her fairly, so wouldn't it be reasonable for her to give him a taste of his own medicine?
She added, "If you think I'm being unfair, you can just leave, can't you?"
He wouldn't be so upset if he just left quietly; he wouldn't have to see her interactions with the Lynch family
anymore.
Gareth fell silent, his eyes lifeless and expressionless.
Her words stung and further confirmed his beliefs that Elisa wasn't the same person he had once known.
She would no longer spare him a glance and would no longer treat him with endearment as she once did.
But there was absolutely no chance that he would leave.
Thus, he decided to drop the argument and kept quiet.
Thomas was very efficient. He was able to buy their clothes and daily essentials in a short amount of time.
When they returned to the house, Mr. Lynch knelt before Elisa.
"Ms. Benett, please don't worry. I will testify against Norman, even if it means giving up my life."
He was deeply grateful for Elisa's help and wanted to show his indebtedness.
However, Mr. Lynch had a favor to ask of her.
With Elisa's influential status, Stacy would have a bright future if she was adopted by Elisa.
Therefore, Mr. Lynch suggested, "Ms. Benett, I don't know how much longer I have to live, but I promise you that I
will never let Norman go free for his crimes. However, I am worried about my daughter. Would you be so kind as to
take Stacy under your care? You can make her do anything for you. Please adopt her..."
Gareth interrupted without allowing Elisa to respond to Mr. Lynch's plea.
"No way," Gareth said, dismissing the idea without a second thought.
Stacy was already seven years old. If she adopted her, would Stacy be her daughter or little sister?
No matter how Elisa chooses to reveal Stacy's identity, there will be plenty of scandals about her.
By then, it would be too late for Elisa to escape being the subject of gossip and speculation.
