No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa)
Chapter 1908

Chapter 1908 The World Outside

Elisa looked at Gareth with annoyance.

Gareth chuckled lightly and said, “If you're interested in their muscular physiques, I can show you mine when we

get back.”

Elisa rolled her eyes.

The two of them had gone through life-and-death situations together, and their trust in each other had deepened.

The atmosphere between them was no longer as tense as it was at the beginning. They could even be considered

as having a close relationship now.

What troubled Gareth was that the atmosphere between the two of them never became ambiguous.

Perhaps it was Elisa's carefree nature that, despite their many intimate interactions, surprisingly failed to ignite any

sparks between them.

That left Gareth puzzled. The farewell party gave him an irresistible urge to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

Perhaps because they were about to leave, many people who had previously spoken ill or wronged Elisa and Gareth

came to apologize to them.

The person who approached them was Anna's sidekick. She apologized timidly, saying, “I'm sorry, Elisa. I shouldn't

have spoken ill of you.”

“It's okay.” Elisa constantly wore a smile, making her appear very approachable.

“I'm sorry, Gareth. I shouldn't have mocked you.” The man who spoke was one of Sodo's followers who jeered at

Gareth during the warriors' tournament.

Gareth, of course, didn't mind. The man raised his glass. With a gulp of wine, their grievances became water under

the bridge.

That was also Gareth's exact intention. He also gulped glasses of alcohol in response.

The vibe was wonderful, yet there was a subtle hint of melancholy lingering in the air.

After three rounds of drinks, Elisa and Gareth exchanged glances. Elisa rose to her feet, found the village chief, and

shared with him all the thoughts she had been harboring. “Village chief, I wonder if there's a chance for us to

collaborate with you and the island villagers. Through mutual exchange, we can bring benefits to each other. You

can rest assured. To maintain the purity of the village, we won't overdevelop, nor will we disturb the normal life of

the villagers.”

Elisa and Gareth hoped that the island could send young adults out every year to learn advanced technologies from

the outside world or to further their studies. Only then could they return and contribute to the better development

of the island.

More importantly, the island had an abundance of jade and jadeite, like the jade rings on their fingers. The locals

treated those materials as mere stones, but selling them off could actually significantly improve the villagers' living

conditions.

After he listened to Elisa's proposal, the village chief fell into deep thought.

In truth, Elisa wasn't very optimistic, particularly given the village chief's somewhat xenophobic tendencies.

She knew she had to take her time with the matter and couldn't rush into things.

Elisa said, “Don't worry, our merchant ships will be around here. Whenever you've made up your mind, feel free to

contact any merchant ship bearing the name of Benett Corporation.”

Failing to persuade the village chief in one fell swoop was quite regrettable, but she had anticipated that outcome.

If it weren't for the lack of time, Elisa was quite confident that she could persuade the village chief.

“Don't worry. We have plenty of time.” Gareth, seeing through Elisa's disappointment, offered words of comfort.

The farewell party continued until the early hours of the morning.

So, after rounds of drinking, there were soon hardly any sober people left.

It was at that moment that Elisa stood up, dusted herself off, and extended her hand toward Gareth. “We should

get going.”

Grasping her hand, Gareth pulled himself up.

The two of them headed toward the merchant ship together.

That was also a decision they had made together.

Leaving in broad daylight meant having to face the villagers. Neither of them wanted to part with the villagers, so

slipping away quietly was the best way to do it.

“I don't know when I'll have the chance to return once I leave,” Elisa murmured. She seemed to be talking to

herself, yet also as if speaking to Gareth.

Gareth subtly shifted his posture. “There will always be time. As long as you want, I'll accompany you to come back

here.”
