Julia nodded incessantly.

Elisa handed Gareth the medicine she had gotten from the pharmacy. "These are your medications, and these are

your grandmother's. I've labeled the required intake of each medication on the bottle. Please make sure your maids

know how much to give you, or you can ask Thomas to keep an eye on it."

Thomas was someone they could both rely on.

"Okay," Gareth gave a single nod of his head.

However, as Elisa was about to leave, Gareth called out to her. "It's hard to get a taxi right now. You can take my

car, and I'll ask Thomas to pick me up later."

Elisa's eyebrows knitted together as she rejected his offer, "It's fine. I'll get a taxi and use my own car later."

She then waved goodbye to Julia. "Grandma, I'll be going home now!"

"Alright."

Julia's lips curved into a warm smile as she watched Elisa leave the room.

As soon as the door closed, Julia's frustrations that had been building up over the last few minutes erupted. She

lightly knocked on Gareth's back with her walking stick.

She had knocked him lightly, but her fury was already overflowing.

Julia's face was red with anger as she scolded Gareth. "You silly boy! You're going to drive me mad! This is your best

chance to get Elisa back, and you're still acting like this? Don't let her slip away again, Gareth. You're old enough to

know what to do, right? You're the successor of the Wickam Group. Do I need to teach you like you're a three-year-

old?"

She raised her voice, her words ringing through the air as her irritation crackled.

Elisa must feel this way because Gareth isn't putting in enough effort to win her heart back.

Gareth's jaw clenched as he muttered under his breath, "I know."

"What do you know, silly?"

Her anger spiraled like wildfire, burning out of control as she berated Gareth.

Gareth stood there, silent and unmoving, as Julia chided him.

But Julia wouldn't let Gareth's silence stop her from expressing her frustrations.

She narrowed her gaze at him, piercing into Gareth's soul as she lashed out.

In the end, she gave him an ultimatum.

"Gareth, I'll only give you two weeks! If you can't get back together with Elisa within two weeks, I'll kick you out of

the Wickam family!"

Julia shot a final glare at Gareth before slowly walking away with her walking stick.

Gareth followed after her, concerned for her well-being.

Meanwhile, Elisa had gotten a taxi for herself.

She had intentionally mentioned Will's name to Gareth, but she had no intention of meeting him.

Her phone buzzed, and Will's name appeared on her phone screen.

She hesitated for a moment, uncertain if she should answer it.

"Why did you call?" she finally answered, her voice indifferent and cold.

Will's voice was soft, but there was a trace of disappointment in his words. "Why didn't you tell me you were back?"

If not for the news that had circulated on the real-time search about her and Gareth, he wouldn't have known she

had returned from Moranta.

"I was busy as soon as I got back," she replied matter of factly.

Will wasn't the only one who didn't know she was back. No one else knew except for Julia.

Will's heart felt heavy when he heard her answer.

Her words told him everything he needed to know

What was she so busy with?

She was spotted leaving the Wickam Manor with Gareth and then again at the pharmacy.

Everything that kept her busy revolved around the Wickam family, especially Gareth.

He tried to compose himself despite the strong current beating around his chest.

"Elisa, is it true? Are you planning to get back together with Gareth?" he asked.

Will's breath felt like it was being squeezed out of him as he asked her this question.
